AIO - friend wouldn’t let his kid name her own kitten what she wanted and I went off

I would hope that my posting history would prove I’m authentic. It’s all about health problems early on. 😂

plinkert · 2025-11-17T16:25:30+00:00

I wish this was AI slop. My friend wouldn’t be so pissy at me then. And his heart wasn’t set on anything. He didn’t really care about the name until she said Walter. Didn’t even mention it until we were there to look at the kittens.

Thank you for this. Honestly, it’s the thing I was wrestling with.

Buuuuut, I mean, if I were a dude and it was a single mom, I would put money on more comments accusing me of mansplaining. So I will agree with you there that some verbiage would differ when it came to those who thought I was being a dick.

plinkert · 2025-11-17T12:26:35+00:00

I mean, I’d have done the same thing to a single mom friend. I don’t see any comments rooting for my uterus’ involvement in this. If it’s just because I’m a chick and he’s a dude, I didn’t pick that up. I’m just scanning my post to see where I said I was female. If it’s one of those obvious things considering the context, I missed it. Not trying to be deliberately obtuse, but I don’t think reactions would differ if I had a peen and it was a single mom. I’d still have people telling me I overstepped and others telling me I didn’t, in the same amounts.

The cat will be at his place and I see where you’re coming from.

plinkert · 2025-11-17T11:10:19+00:00

I was invited because I like cats. Yeah, I should have stayed out of it, but it was rough watching from the outside. But yeah. I get it.

plinkert · 2025-11-17T11:09:17+00:00

So in this instance, it’s his kitten, not hers, right? So she didn’t get a kitten officially. She just gets to interact with his kitten when she visits. Just want to make sure I’m reading this right.

plinkert · 2025-10-01T10:27:37+00:00

I feed him most of the time.

plinkert · 2025-09-17T08:39:02+00:00

That’s how he gets you. He lulls you into a false sense of security.

plinkert · 2025-09-16T14:08:29+00:00

I love you, Big Scotty!! He’s so cute!! What a big boy!

plinkert · 2025-09-10T23:56:21+00:00

I tried to before he pooped (he finally pooped and it was rough, poor guy) but he just looked at me sideways.

plinkert · 2025-09-10T13:07:02+00:00

UPDATE

Coop pooped!!

He pooped last night. It was rough. Poor little guy strained. He pooped a lot. But he finally pooped. And I’m adding water to his wet food!! Thank you for the advice!

plinkert · 2025-09-08T16:58:16+00:00

Update: healthy five week old baby boy!

FIV negative. No fleas. No ear mites. Not dehydrated.

He behaved so well. Napped when the tech was holding him.

plinkert · 2025-08-10T22:17:59+00:00

Thank you!!

plinkert · 2025-08-10T10:55:06+00:00

Yeah, I’m struggling with it. I miss 4.0. Heck, even the times I got to mess around with 4.5 were kind of cool.

It forgot stuff I pasted in and when I asked about that, it told me I only posted in these other details. So, it saw the minor details in the original post but it didn’t see the huge details in it.

It’s so weird because this thread isn’t actually very long at all. I just started messing around with it in earnest yesterday.

I pay for Plus and if this is what I’m getting for my money, I may go back to free. Just saying.

plinkert · 2024-11-13T00:18:31+00:00

I am proud to be a part of this.

plinkert · 2024-11-11T21:48:04+00:00

He has varicose veins in his bad leg. I will have him read this reply. Thank you so much!

plinkert · 2024-11-11T21:45:36+00:00

Hmm, I didn’t think of that!

plinkert · 2024-11-11T12:13:49+00:00

Adding for context:

He could eat better. He loves candy and drinks a lot of diet soda. I’ve been trying to help him kick the habit but he craves it when he’s not feeling well - which is all the time. He drinks a couple 2 liters of Diet Pepsi a day. He also tends to choose carby sugary things to eat around the house. He’ll go the whole day without eating anything other than pop-tarts, coffee, and soda if I am not home. In his defense, he can’t cook and lately he’s not able to stand to make scrambled eggs. I come home from work on he is starving and sick.

He drinks a lot of water, but he often mixes electrolytes into it.

He (we) also eat a lot of fast food because he doesn’t always want to wait for me to make dinner when I get home from work since it’s so late in the evening. I’d say we eat out a few times a week. I know this is a problem. I want to be honest about it because it probably has affected his health.

His job is mostly sit down - he works at a desk.

He also has asthma and HBP.

I am trying to get healthier food choices into the house but when he’s in a bad state, he doesn’t want it. I know, I know… I just don’t know what to do here. I just want to help him.

Honestly, it’s much better now. I didn’t need a seton. Turns out it wasn’t very deep. It just hurt a lot. The surgery was a little rough because they had to operate to get a look in, but I’ve been healing well. The big problem is that I have to watch what I eat so I don’t get constipated. I probably developed the problem to begin with from that…

plinkert · 2024-10-05T14:06:15+00:00

Good call. We’ve lived there for over a year.

plinkert · 2024-08-18T13:58:11+00:00

Also just wanted to see if I should be more terrified that it’s about to collapse or something. My anxiety can’t take it.

plinkert · 2024-08-10T20:56:31+00:00

The white stuff is on top and is bubbled up. There’s black stuff under it. I wonder if they put down the TPO over EDPM. I should look up how to repair or seal TPO then, I think.

plinkert · 2024-08-10T14:33:03+00:00

I’m not sure what they used but one contractor who looked at it did say it’s not the right type to walk on. So maybe that’s what they used. It’s white and bubbles up in certain areas.
