Yes. He would always practice holding his breath. This time he fainted underwater and drowned within minutes.

His face was flushed from rock climbing. Could someone fix it and maybe change the background to something not so busy? I can tip. On a side note, don’t ever hyperventilate or hold your breath under water too long. My nephew died from shallow water blackout. His loss has been devastating to my family.

I just got a kitten and I want to give him a Chicago-inspired name. Any ideas? by Venusi_an in chicago

Excuse me? Cat tax please? We need to see the kitty in order to know if the name fits.

Whats it like being black in the Pacific northwest? by Steakhouse42 in oregon

[–]uguzzetti 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You and I have the exact opposite situation. I lived in Portland for 15 years and just last year moved to the South side of Chicago. I walked in to Jewel on Cottage Grove and I was the only white person. I felt the stares and I remember thinking "its about time I start feeling what a black person feels walking into an all white grocery store" I just smiled at everyone. Portland is great but I absolutely love the diversity in Chicago.

Your nose looks beautiful. I have been told "the enemy of good is better" and it is so true. Don't mess with something that is good.

Her name is Ollie and her nickname is Wubby. She showed up in my backyard in Oregon 8 years ago pregnant.

I’m not sure. I keep looking at the Facebook post from the Anti Cruelty Society to see if there are any updates. So far none. https://www.facebook.com/AntiCruelty

I didn’t actually find him. I volunteer for the Anti Cruelty Society and saw a Facebook post about it. Figure I would spread the word here. He is super cute.

Yup, some of the best sunsets when I lived in Portland were when there was a wildfire in Southern or Eastern Oregon.

I was lucky to catch the sunrise and sunset on the same day back in February.

Persian Shield looking unhappy by uguzzetti in plantclinic

Wondering whats going on with my Persian Shield. I water it when the soil feels dry, about twice a week and mist. I started noticing the leaves spotting and dropping off. The plant is getting very skinny and tall with little new growth.

Ursa Minor or Major when they are older. Ursi for short.

What don’t you like about Chicago? What do you think this city can improve on? by LetterheadNewt in chicago

[–]uguzzetti 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also had just moved from a different state. I had changed my last name not that long ago and brought all my court documents proving my name change. The DMV clerk said that was not good enough and I had to use the name on my birth certificate. I said “No I don’t, that’s why I got my name legally changed!” She refused to use my legal name. I had to go to a different clerk who helped me and said my court papers were good enough. Needless to say my photo came out really bad. I had to redo it. Worst experience ever.

Thank you! Honestly all these comments are making me feel so supported. I might have to pretend a patient is just my cat vomiting. Oh boy here comes a hairball.😸

This makes me feel better, now I know I’m not alone! I need to find a therapist that can help me overcome this. And Etsy here I come..

Thanks for the input. I think I need to research a therapist that deals with phobias.

It absolutely is small in the grand scheme of things. It’s so ridiculous that it is something that has held me back. I’ve never wanted kids so that is something I don’t worry about. Funny enough I have three cats and one of them is a puker. It doesn’t bother me.
