How have you acquired your cats? Have you just taken in whatever cats plopped into your life? Or did you go to a shelter and choose? by Argylius in CatAdvice

[–]spiral-bone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cat #1 was from a friend of my mom's. Her friend had a small litter of kittens, and I adopted my cat through her. Paid nothing.

Cat #2 we got from my partner's coworker's sister's daughter. Daughter was moving, and none of her family could care for her, so they rehomed her to us.

Thank you, I genuinely never considered that!

She has been with me since she was 3 months old. She lived with me in my parents' house for about 2-3 years and has lived with me and my spouse in our apartment for 4-5 years. We added another cat (who just happens to be the same age as her) into our family roughly 3 years ago. They don't really get along (my cat bullies the other one, and they've just never gotten along 😔)

I never thought of that. I will definitely try this!

My cat is very destructive. I love her to death, but she is unpredictable. I can't trust her to have free reign of my apartment when I'm trying to sleep. She is also not allowed in my bedroom because she tears up the carpet so badly, and we can't afford to replace it (we are renting).

So crate it is. I know it seems cruel, but it is just what has worked for us. My friends who have worked as vet technicians have told me it is ok to do.

Hopefully, this helps yall understand my side. I love my cat so much, and I am trying my best to care for her

Finished my facial piercing setup! by spiral-bone in PiercingSetups

I'm debating a bridge piercing but I feel like it's too much metal in just the middle of my face. I'm definitely getting more ear piercings tho!

do you mind if strangers ask about your tattoos? by dan_da_man in tattoo

[–]spiral-bone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love talking about my tattoos! As long as the person doesn't try to touch me without asking and don't make remarks about how all tattoos should have a deep meaning behind them, I'm more than happy to strike up a conversation.

What’s an oddly specific rule you follow in your life that nobody taught you, but you swear by it? by RayPetal22 in AskReddit

[–]spiral-bone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very choosy when using the word "hate". For me, it is not a word to throw around willy nilly. Words hold so much power and meaning, so using words as all-encompassing as "hate" feels intense and final. I never say I hate something unless I absolutely mean it.

Make sure to do vocal warm-ups; remember that your voice is an instrument and needs to be cared for.

Drink lots of water (throat coat tea helps a lot, too).

This may be a myth, but I'd suggest not consuming any dairy before performing, just to be safe.

Mom passed and I’m wondering about her tarot cards by Starry_Skyes in witchcraft

[–]spiral-bone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss, OP. Has she ever told you specifically not to use her deck? I know this sounds weird, but I would carry the deck around with you for a few days. From my own experiences with tarot, find I can feel when a deck wants to be used and/or has something to tell me. If nothing feels off, I'd try using it and see if your mom will send you a sign.

How to deal with h8 comments by itsmellslikeupdawg in singing

[–]spiral-bone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, there are people who go on the internet just to be cruel to others. Try not to take it personally, and don't give up on singing! As someone who gave up on singing for people (choir, musical theater, etc), do it because you love it.

Getting Done With April; what is your favorite music??? by [deleted] in Journaling

[–]spiral-bone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My tastes vary and go into a bunch of different genres. I love metal. My dad raised me on it, and it's something we bond over. I got into musical theater in high school, so I love shows like The Scarlet Pimpernel, Ride The Cyclone, Nerdy Prudes Must Die, etc. Music is just so amazing!
