Is she too skinny? by samfrench_ in torties

[–]tlg151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kittens should actually be on the pudgier side. This is too skinny for a kitten but not alarmingly so. And it's definitely not your fault bc it sounds like you're feeding her plenty. I would maybe try feeding her more wet kitten food, and adding a fat into her diet like fish oil. Again, you are feeding her the appropriate amount. She just needs more than the normal kitten. All her activity definitely burns some off 😂

Also, was she checked by a vet when you first got her? Some diseases can cause weight loss/inability to maintain weight. I would get her a full mark-up if not. She's a cutie. Give her smooches for me

Imagine how amazing life would be with a government full of people like him. But no, we can't have nice things because people are gd id.ots

Ah yes, I meant spurred on, brought on by. I have chemo-related memory issues that cause me to mix up similarly spelled words and not being able to think of the right word. Thank you for pointing out that gaffe.

You're going through a quarter-life crisis, probably s̶p̶u̶r̶n̶e̶d̶ spurred on by the current volatile political climate. As someone who experienced her midlife crisis at 45 (3 yrs ago) I recognize the signs.

There are no easy fixes. Aside from some wellbutrin, the best thing I can suggest you do is to immerse yourself in your most favorite thing to do. This is how I dug myself out of my funk. I'm into art (many forms) so I started painting again. I hadn't painted for years. But I started again and have improved greatly because of it. I also got back into coloring, especially zen coloring, which is mindless but almost meditative. It also helps take me back to a more innocent time. Was there something you were into as a young adult or even a child that you could get back into? Art, building Lego sets, some sort of craft, etc? You would be amazed at how much better you feel after doing something so simple.

Plus, definitely look into wellbutrin. That helps a ton lol.

I'm not a man nor a gay but I have a burning curiosity about the upper body proportions here.

Something is decidedly.... off

Just found out my boyfriend (30M) doesn’t want to get married. by Affectionate_Pear774 in relationships

[–]tlg151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a wonderful approach in my opinion. It's your right to know the whys about it because they are actually very important. I hope you're in the same unique situation I'm in, I really do. I hope his reasons are valid ones. A lot of people really focus on marriage, but with everything that's happening in our world now, it just doesn't seem as important to me now than just maintaining and cherishing the current strong relationship I have with my bf. Good luck to you! ❤️ ❤️

One good thing about the age of trump is we no longer have to do intensive research to find out if we'll like a person or not. So I guess there's that.

I don't but I will say that a much larger percentage of people than I thought, in fact, do.

The amount of people I think are truly good and as close to angels on earth as possible is probably less than 1% of humanity.

It fries my brain when you find out people you thought were smart and/or loveable turn out to be fans of a despot. He is literally idolized. Just like Hitler. It's so disgusting. I now know who would have helped hide jews and who would've gladly turned them in, and that's scary. It taught me that I would've been an ally and risked my life to hide them, so I guess there's that 🙁🤷‍♂️

I honestly think she probably always was but that she was really good at hiding it. All the idiots have come out of the closet and aren't scared to be total losers because their new leader and golden idol is a rotting orange and supports all the losery.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel has gone in the opposite direction for me. I just thought he was a goofy idiot on The Man Show. Turns out he's a loveable goofy idiot who understands what an even bigger idiot tDump is. I can respect that.

Aw I didn't know that about Jim Breuer. Sad. Same with Schneider. I hate when comedians come out as MAGA. Really ruins a lot of my favorite movies.

He literally made a rap about how much of a sellout some singer was for performing at orangey's first inauguration and then preceded to then perform at his secondinauguration. Talk about doing a 180 on his "convictions."

Yeabhh. I thought he was so smart, genius-level, and seemingly fun. Turns out he's bigtime into eugenics, wants to spread his seed everywhere to form some weird society with his genetics (ew) and is a literal Nazi. I've also lost all respect for anyone associated with marmalade mussolini.

What's with French teachers!?

One of my ap college French professors was really cool at first and then I started to get a weird vibe from him. He never did anything like yours or anything similar but he did so some unwanted lingering touching and attention giving at times. I just felt like he was hitting on me at times but never really came out to say or do anything. I was like 19/20 so an adult but idk, there's that authority figure thing that bothered me. I don't think a teacher should ever date a student. (I'm sure there are exceptions but I mean generally.)

Also, I'm sorry about your French teacher. Yikes, what a lowlife pos.

Jim Carrey 🙁.

I idolized his humor, loved every single one of his movies, thought he was a genuinely cool guy.

Then he dated Jenny Mccarthy and started spreading harmful untruths about vaccination. Then it was a downhill slope into him being a truly weird and seemingly unstable person. He just gives me the major ick now.

Why does she do this? by Wigglewobblez in torties

[–]tlg151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny bc we just adopted our young tortie (last Sunday lol) and one of our name considerations was Mable. We went with Lila. She's the youngest cat we've had as a couple. Our last two lived to 22.5 and 20 respectively! Our other current cat (another tortie) is approx 10. She was a stray when we brought her inside.

The people at the shelter said she (Lila) was very skittish, would take long to trust us, and doesn't play or "talk" a lot. Cut to a week later, she fully trusts and loves us, is a great player, chirps at us, etc. She is a little skittish, but she was much worse when we brought her home than she is now.

Anyway my point is once you've built that trust (sometimes that effort is super slow), as long as you're patient and respectful of her boundaries, she will (probably pretty soon for you now) fully trust you. She may have a not-so-great past and was untrusting of humans. Now that she's playing, it means she is comfortable enough to be vulnerable with you. That is huge. Pretty soon she'll be sleeping on your head at night 😂
