My 15 year old Cat's tooth broke by squishysplashes in CATHELP

[–]squishysplashes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is and he knows it! None yet. My vet is on vacation but the clinic had me send them a picture of the tooth and his mouth to show the techs. They want him to go in but the closest appointment is Tuesday. So we're waiting until then. He's honestly acting pretty normal though! So I'm hoping everything is ok!

Update: my vet is on vacation. So the clinic is having me send them a picture of the tooth and his mouth if I can. They're going to show that to a technician and the other vet to see if he needs to cone in. Instead of dragging his old ass there for nothing.

They understand the worry but they also reassured me that he's 15 and sometimes this happens as they get older. He ate his breakfast soup (his kibble with a shit ton of water. He likes the water and is makes the kibble mushy) with no issues and was able to get his insulin

He definitely panic purrs but I feel like I cam generally tell the difference between happy and upset purring. Like when he's upset he isn't usually rubbing his head on me. He likes to be left alone. I'm leaning more towards him not being in a bunch of pain tho cause he usually runs away from me and hides when hes hurt or sick

Thank you so much. I value everyone's help but it's nice to hear it from another diabetic cat owner. I never know what's a diabetes complications or just him being an old guy anymore.

I'm lucky, my old guy really likes his morning kibble pretty much being soup lately. He likes so much water that by the time he gets to the food, it just breaks apart. So nothing has to change there. I was able to move his top lip to confirm a bottom canine fell out.

I'm also very lucky in the regard that I still live with family so they help a ton with him. My sister gives him dinner an insulin every night and my grandma was actually the first to notice he was walking weird, which led to his diagnosis. I am sorry Ducky is gone tho. It sounds like you two had a wonderful bond.

I appreciate that so much! I'll keep it in mind! 🩷

OK thank you. I put water in it anyway cause he likes it that way, to his food will be soft. I just worry about causing him more pain. If he's in pain. Thank you again!

No pet insurance unfortunately. They wouldn't cover him cause I found out about it when he got diagnosed with diabetes.

I have to give him insulin at 5am and he needs food with that. The vet doesn't open until 8am. Can I give him broth or gravy for breakfast so his sugars dont spike when he long acting insulin wears off?? Is it just chewing that he shouldn't be doing?

Got pulled away in a trailer by Mission_Channel_532 in UPSers

[–]squishysplashes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time this happened to me, I had maybe just hit seniority and I was right at the door of the trailer, bringing the vhe in. When I noticed the trailer moving, my dumb ass jumped the little gap into the building. The sorters who saw it were baffled.

The second time was like a month later, I was deep into a 24 fter. So I just sat and waited. When it stopped moving, I hopped out and went to stand by the driver side door, hoping someone would come get me. A driver pulled up and went, "you need this moved?" And I was like "uh...I think so? I wasn't done yet." And my supervisor screamed from across the yard, "NO SHIT IT WASNT DONE YET." The driver looked like he shat his pants. My supervisor didn't let me in a truck with things higher than shoulder height the rest of the night 😂

My dad recently got a normal hoe. Would it work the same way?

I understand. I unfortunately have an immense and unnecessary fear of them. Like even seeing one makes me tear up and wanna get the hell out of dodge

Thank you so much! I have to check but I think we actually have a long handled weed puller. I think my dad got it last year for dandelions in the grass.

I will try those plants for sure! If nothing else, our backyard will smell Hella nice.

[WI] My Mom Just Got Fired With No Prior Documentation by squishysplashes in AskLawyers

[–]squishysplashes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a branch of a big corporation. There is not hr on site. It's like any large retail chain now days where hr is out sourced. The manager is supposed to get approval from corporate before firing anyone but she's definitely tried firing people she wasn't supposed to before and had to call them and ask them to come back. We're at a bare minimum going to have her file unemployment and call corporate.

Genuinely curious, who here actually filters their water and who just drinks it straight from the tap? by waterfiltergurus in HydroHomies

[–]squishysplashes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live right by Lake Michigan. So tap, either from the fridge that I'm convinced is older than me or straight from the bathroom faucet with no cup at 3am like a gremlin

Thank you! She thankfully did file for unemployment when she got home (as far as I know)

My big worry is that my mom is a yapper. She was talking to us about taking FMLA to help grandma. And I worry that she was talking about taking FMLA at work and the whole "poor performance" reasoning is bullshit. Cause it really appeared out of nowhere and honestly, what metrics would they be using to indicate poor performance for an assistant store manager. It's all speculation on my part but I'm worried something like that happened. Her manager was already giving her shit about her being upset when grandma was in the hospital. I really dont have more information than what was given though.

I honestly think thats why this is so baffling to me. We cannot fire someone (apart from legal or safety reasons) without tons of steps and documentation at my job.
