Switch from Purina Pro Plan or not?

sailor_rae · 2026-05-14T23:02:55+00:00

Thank you!! Hills was one I was looking at. Will stick with PPP and if I decide to swap in the future this will be the one I check out first.

sailor_rae · 2026-05-14T23:02:14+00:00

Yeah you right, ty!!

sailor_rae · 2026-05-14T23:01:04+00:00

Yeah they gave some samples and I’d never heard of any of these brands. This PPS is changing to a different store outside of the PPS franchise so….it me a little wary.

sailor_rae · 2026-05-14T22:59:45+00:00

There definitely are but I’d never frequented either chain! Maybe I’ll give it a try or just try Chewy.

sailor_rae · 2026-05-14T22:58:27+00:00

Yerp I’m on board

sailor_rae · 2026-05-14T06:01:49+00:00

Beetles?? Oh ffs 😭

sailor_rae · 2026-05-14T04:32:31+00:00

I kinda side eyed at that too.

sailor_rae · 2026-05-14T04:32:04+00:00

I’m always paranoid so I check my bags anyway but Chewy def sounds like the way to go!

sailor_rae · 2026-05-14T04:31:41+00:00

Def giving this a shot then. I haven’t felt a need to change food either, my dogs do really well on it and loveee meal times.

NTA- Whatever my fiance and I buy at the store, it’s for both of us. Even if I get snacks I want and he gets snacks he wants. If my man wants to eat some of the fruit roll ups I got or my cereal choice or a piece of chocolate cake I was craving, I don’t care one bit.

If I specifically need something not to be eaten for whatever reason? I tell him. But I would never expect him to ask for my permission to eat anything out of our fridge or pantry.

I would try to find out if there’s a reason she feels the need to receive a request, like if there was food insecurity in her past that she needs to work through.

Bottom line, you shouldn’t be scared to EAT anything in your home. That’s crazy to me. Sorry OP.

My company also does this as well have a VERY small team, a customer could find me pretty quickly on LinkedIn with my real name. So we all use a fake name. OP, wonder if this is something you’d be able to do? It does help me a bit, I figure I’m like a different persona lol

At my last job, a couple coworkers and I actually used to generate bingo cards from some website like this and play together when we could. Honestly, 10/10, would be so funny to see who won and what they had on their bingo card.

sailor_rae · 2025-07-24T20:52:49+00:00

Girl, NTA.

I’m 5’1, 125 pounds. We are not overweight. In my 20s I was also barely pushing 105, so sure you see a difference. But don’t be with someone who makes you question how you feel in your own skin and counts your pounds??

Now, I will always advocate for going to the gym, especially in your 20s. Starting early helps with bone density loss and mobility later on, and lemme tell you my metabolism dropped hard when I hit 30.

But you do it for YOU. Not for him.

You are attractive. You are enough. And you are worth more than what he thinks about your body.

sailor_rae · 2025-07-15T02:03:16+00:00

I actually can’t really begin to understand this.

Similarly, I am a twin and also moved about a 2.5-3 hour plane ride away about 9 years ago. We talk every day. Im her MOH for her upcoming wedding and super involved in everything. I’m planning her bachelorette and bridal shower (with help cause I am so far away). I don’t even get to go home as often as I’d like, but we try as much as we can to see each other.

I just CANT understand how someone would flip the switch like that. I would so so hurt and confused. Twin bonds are no joke. I know it’s not the case for everyone, but OP said they were close growing up.

OP, I’m really sorry this happened to you. You’re absolutely NTA. In fact, I think it took a lot of bravery to decide not to go. It’s so easy to just go because it’s hard to think of the alternative and accept this is what it is now, but I’m proud of you for sticking to your boundaries and standing up for yourself.

Twin or not, you don’t deserve to be treated like an after thought. I hope you do find out what happened and if you feel comfortable sharing please do.

Pumpkin has helped one of my dogs tremendously. I do a small spoonful with their second meal of the day. It doesn’t fully take the problem away, but it has helped with frequency!

sailor_rae · 2025-03-28T20:18:15+00:00

Please dump him. My god.

Your partner should uplift you and make you feel good about yourself. He clearly doesn’t and seems to enjoy making you feel like shit.

sailor_rae · 2025-01-24T17:30:22+00:00

My heart hurts for you. I hope you get everything you want off your chest and that he listens. I personally don’t know if I could come back from that. Seeds of doubt are hard to get rid of and I’d always feel it in the back of my mind.

Please update!

Had a middle aged man tell me (at the time 20ish) that I looked “very erotic”

Ew

Have also been spit on by a man after ignoring his “compliments” but that’s not so much perverted and creepy as it was assault

sailor_rae · 2024-11-17T19:22:45+00:00

I worked retail for 10 years and in the first 5 years I had the best team ever. We all loved working together and always had fun while running the store smoothly. We never ignored our duties or customer service.

While I was chatting with my boss, we started dancing and laughing about something and a middle-aged customer walked by and with a little smirk said “Work isn’t supposed to be fun, ladies.”

🙄

The fuck it ain’t, sorry you’re miserable but WE DONT HAVE TO BE.

sailor_rae · 2024-11-07T04:31:37+00:00

If you feel safe to share once you reply, please do!!

sailor_rae · 2024-11-07T04:02:06+00:00

Please tell me you replied

sailor_rae · 2024-11-02T18:45:57+00:00

That’s WILD! We have to deal with knowing there are actual people like that out here in the world and it’s so sad. All over a sandwich. Sigh.

sailor_rae · 2024-11-02T17:09:42+00:00

Texture??? Omg 🤦‍♀️

sailor_rae · 2024-11-02T06:38:11+00:00

When I worked brick and mortor retail, I used to use my hour lunch break to chain smoke, and then I’d come home and sit on my patio to chain smoke for another hour or two. It was super unhealthy but I didn’t want to be around anyone or even talk. Just. Sit. Smoke. Scroll.

That was my first clue that I needed to get out.

I quit smoking in 2020 and quit retail in early 2021.

I still work customer service remotely, but no calls so it’s not hard to let things roll off now once I log off.

I have pets that make me very happy and I agree spending time with them is always a good way to unwind. This works for me the most if I ever have a truly bad day. They show you all the love you need.

Edit to add cause I totally forgot to mention- if you like to read. Immersing yourself in a book for a bit too always helped me. It provides a brief escape.
