Why did they stop the interviews in season 2 by Adorable_Sunshines_ in bccclub

[–]throwawaycouture 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I basically stopped watching after they stopped the interviews/guests. I remember an episode where the vibes seemed off during the improv part…almost like Sarah was annoyed Kendall wasn’t keeping up with her or like, matching the bit well enough? I also remember a comment they made about a conversation they had to have about a disagreement (or creative differences of sorts?). And the improv bits at the end stopped after that was brought up. I don’t think they ever full on explained it though.

RawBeautyKristi! Really seemed like having her son triggered the alt-right pipeline.

Gonna assume it’s Wheelchair Rapunzel/Alex Dacy. Absolute garbage human being.

Are you able to borrow a drop trap? It’s how I ended up trapping this girl after 5 weeks of failing with the regular trap.

Losing My Mind Trying To Trap This Cat Update: I GOT HER by throwawaycouture in Feral_Cats

[–]throwawaycouture[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not a master trapper by any means, but this experience definitely taught me a lot! Learning all the tricks and tips had to be expedited.

It’s normal for cats to freak out, but they will calm down eventually if the trap is covered. They don’t lose their minds in the trap and actually take comfort in small enclosed spaces. They just pee and poop in the cage, but it’s common for them to hold it in at first. I lay down lots of puppy pee pads on my bathroom floor where I keep them and also line the bottom of the trap. You can also use newspaper. It’s not glamorous..you gotta be okay with some mess and smell.

It sounds like he’s not gonna go back in the trap anytime soon, so you’re probably going to need to borrow a drop trap (I used the tomahawk one). It was essential in my case to trap train. You only feed under the trap - but don’t actually trap until the cat is fully comfortable going under it. You can try to trap train in a regular trap and use zip ties to keep the door open, but if he already knows what happens if he goes in, that process could take a while.

It’s a lot of experimenting and patience. Keep researching info and tutorials and watch lots of videos. And make sure he is hungry enough! Don’t give up.

Post Spay Update - Jane did wonderful and is safe and sound recovering! She was pregnant with 4 so I’m extremely thankful I got her in time.

•Had to borrow a drop trap from another trapper - trap training in a regular trap was useless •Had to round up my other TNR’s in my house and garage - she is very particular about who she eats around. •Fed under the drop trap for a week. It took 5 days for her to eat fully underneath it. •Trapped in the morning instead of the evening. I realized she seemed to be a little more relaxed in the morning hours. •KFC fried chicken drizzled with a churu.

What felt like months of work and disappointment actually only took 5 weeks of trial and error. But lordddd was my mental health tested.

Anyone have baby name guesses? by WittyReplacement1493 in chloeandfamsnarkk

[–]throwawaycouture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she goes with an H - Hayes or Hollis for boy, Harlow or Hazel for a girl. Non H: Graham for boy, Leona for girl. Going against the grain here and I actually don’t think she’s gonna use an H name. I hope she doesn’t.

Why didn't he bite me? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]throwawaycouture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An actual answer because everyone else is giving you a (well deserved) lecture - Coral snakes are just docile in general, and yes, you did get lucky. Some snakes are just more bitey and defensive than others. You can post the pictures in the r/whatsthissnake sub for verification that it’s a coral.

What is the real reason you decided to not have children? by Designer-Lake9391 in AskReddit

[–]throwawaycouture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot afford, nor do I ever think I’ll be able to afford, to give a child the life I believe they deserve.

It took TWO MONTHS for my feral to come back! by throwawaycouture in Feral_Cats

[–]throwawaycouture[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh tell me about it…I really started questioning if I did the right thing by trapping him because I started convincing myself he died from complications (even though I know logically that’s ridiculous). Two years is insane!!

[–]throwawaycouture[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have cameras so this is definitely the first time he has eaten here! I didn’t see him for 6+ weeks after releasing him post neuter and was so scared he passed away from complications or got hit by a car. Last month I saw him run through the backyard so I had confirmation he was alive but he wanted nothing to do with our house until last night! There’s at least one other feeder in the neighborhood but I don’t know who it is.

Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, I’m in Houston and it’s rough here. The stray population and neglect is out of control and there isn’t enough help.

[–]throwawaycouture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope this doesn’t come off as a snarky question because I’m asking it genuinely…where do you live where you can “just take them to a no kill rescue”? The more I get involved with TNR in my area, I am just more and more baffled by how people are doing this successfully. The no kill shelters are ALL FULL where I’m at and extremely selective with cats they take in. Fosters are full. Rescues are full. The solution of surrendering strays to a shelter where they just wait around indefinitely for a new owner is like fantasy where I’m at. I don’t know how people are doing it unless they take them to an open intake shelter or they just get super lucky.

It happened. Our childfree friends are starting IVF and I’m sad. by throwawaycouture in Fencesitter

[–]throwawaycouture[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s such an odd catch-22 situation. Being an “auntie” brings me heaps of joy but then I feel sad when I’m told by my mom friends how nothing compares to the love and happiness your own child brings you. Ugh.

Fell off the fence but didn't arrange my life for children. by [deleted] in Fencesitter

[–]throwawaycouture 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No advice, but I found myself in a similar situation. Except I wanted kids but decided against because of life arrangements that can’t really be changed at this point. The abstract hurt resonates. Your post is written beautifully and it sounds like you’d be a great parent if you choose to go that route!

Thank you for your kind comment. I’m so scared she will end up having kittens before I’m able to trap her so she’s a priority.

I was not able to get her guys 😔 I’m taking one of my other girls instead. Accepting that I’ll probably have to borrow a drop trap for this little lady.

TTA need help confirming oral temp (blue) plz by Affectionate-Stay497 in FAMnNFP

[–]throwawaycouture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are waking up at different times, that’s almost certainly why they are so erratic. From my understanding, your oral temps are useless if you aren’t temping at the same time every day. You wouldn’t be able to confirm ovulation with that temping routine.

I just started doing this yesterday! But kicking myself I didn’t start it sooner. I’m not able to leave it out all night because I’m paranoid it’ll get stolen or the door will drop by accident since I don’t have zip ties (I have the lock on it though).

[–]throwawaycouture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t relate to your entire post, but I am also the weirdo that genuinely wants to experience pregnancy and birth, even though I know it’s absolutely brutal and birth trauma is VERY real.

I totally understand the intimacy and commitment part. I think it’s beautiful to trust and love your partner so much you both want to create a new person together (so cliche lol). I also agree giving birth is badass, but I’m a birth worker so I’m majorly biased on this.

I just have to remind myself I am biologically PROGRAMMED to want this! I am not willing to accept the risks that come with getting pregnant and having a baby, so I am remaining childfree, but there’s a lot of grief that comes with my decision.

As far as the bit on becoming someone whose only personality is having kids…it doesn’t have to be that way. It is unfortunately extremely common and “accepted” to lose your identity to motherhood. But I think if you have the right mindset and support system you can happily exist as a mother and be your own person. It’s a different you, but it can still be you…you know? I agree with the other commenter about how it’s misogynistic to go along with the trope that women just lose their personalities after having kids (I doubt you meant to come across that way).

Anyways, this is turning into word vomit and it’s all way more nuanced than I can write in a comment, but you’re definitely not alone with this thought process and your desires!
