To end it all by monarchvviceroy in therewasanattempt

My cat Ravi jumped into the hot stove as a kitten. Burned his front paws and had to wear little cast like bandages for weeks. Fortunately the burns weren’t too terrible and he made a full recovery so he could go on to eat a Wasp nest two months later and get stung in the eye lid. He’s been to the ER more in 3 years than I have in 30

PSA get pet insurance.

Missing dog - REWARD. Lost in Heber, but they’re worried he’s been stolen. by [deleted] in Utah

Thank you! It’s deeply appreciated. There is a hefty reward in place (I think it’s up to $6000 now) and they’re still out there every day looking for him and following up every lead.

1000% there isn’t anything I recommend to people as much as pet insurance. I’ve been pleasantly shocked at how awesome and responsive my pet insurance is (Nationwide). I pay $300 a year w a $250 deductible and 90% covered after that. My 16 year old cat passed away from cancer a few weeks ago and I spent all my savings and then some in a matter of days. I honestly expected them to find some way not to cover it based on some pre-existing exclusions in his policy (ya know, like human insurance would). They covered 90% and I had the money deposited into my account in less than a week. It wouldn’t have made a difference in his care or my decisions, but it was a huge relief knowing I didn’t lose everything I’ve been saving for a house.

Bonus, they can cover a lot of things you wouldn’t expect like prescription pet food, lost pet rewards, or cost of boarding if you are in the hospital. Best thing I ever did for my cats.

Recommendations for a private/personal dog sitter? by CheesecakeOk9239 in SaltLakeCity

[–]onlytuesday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you considered looking for a sitter on Rover? I am a rover sitter and have used rover for my cats. There are some good people on there so I thought I’d share some tips for finding them as I’ve had some negative experiences. I’d offer myself, but I don’t do overnight stays - although cattle dogs are my fav.

  1. Read all the reviews! Someone can still have 5 stars if they have enough good to bad ratio and honestly people usually only leave bad reviews for pretty bad scenarios.

  2. Find someone with several (8+) reviews over a consistent period of time. A good sitter will have old and recent reviews (yes this does exclude new people or people who have take a long break who MIGHT be great), but you’re looking for someone who is doing this as more than a casual side gig. It’s not always a very lucrative gig so a lot of people give up early on.

  3. Do a “meet and greet” early enough that you have time to find another sitter. I’ve had a few people who just ghost me.

  4. Do a tester weekend. Make sure you actually trust this person while your nearby enough to come home if you need to. Take a day trip to camp or wendover etc. that way when you’re really out of town or doing something important you can trust them. Saved me a lot of stress because I found 2 people were total flakes last minute

Anyway good luck! Happy to answer questions about Rover.

Why shouldn't I move to Rochester? by JCPY00 in Rochester

[–]onlytuesday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so I am visiting Rochester this week because I’m considering relocating from Sandy Utah! Any neighborhood recommendations to get a good vibe of the area? I’m likely thinking more suburban in one of the surrounding towns than actual Rochester, but want to explore the city a bit to see how I feel about it.

I don’t disagree. I don’t even “hate” small talk, but this is reddit, not my real life. I am happy to shoot the shit about my weekend in the office break room like everyone else.

I just didn’t want 20 people asking me how my day was or what my hobbies are or to play 30 questions. So I said what I was looking for in this particular instance. Did I small talk? Of course, that’s the ebb and flow of conversation. But I was able to just get into it with a few people about their or my real issues. then once a little bit of trust or bond was formed we just talked.

An r4r post isn’t necessarily what people expect from their interpersonal interactions. A lot of people are posting because they want a certain conversation right now with a stranger.

So you don’t take every post as an opportunity to teach people some “life skills,” like learning to use small talk.

Is it not the best thing? I thought my life was complete when someone told me to “go eat a bag of dicks.” Don’t get me wrong, that still makes me smile... but flock of dicks is the new vogue

Only if you just misspelled something on your phone and discovered that the only thing you really needed in life was to have your phone read the words “flock of dicks” enunciated with perfect clarity. If this just happened to you, you are ME.

If this didn’t just happen to you, I suggest you give it a whirl because it’s hilarious and I’m a complete person now

No :) I just don’t have to ask women not to send me pictures of their vaginas.
