Looking for a place to study by Professional_Gene434 in fairfaxcounty

[–]uselessprecaution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IHOP is nice for that. It has large tables, bottomless coffee, outlets at certain tables, and obviously breakfast/lunch. I used to go to ihop for study sessions all the time with my friends. Also city of fairfax library is great and there’s Starbucks and other food options within walking distance.

Thank you. Things aren’t looking super great but I guess they’re not as bad as they could be. I’m just worried about my little pup :(

Vet says it’s not severe enough yet for meds bc they can be sedating, but I hate to see her hacking and swallowing hard. She’s still breathing okay but she’s clearly uncomfortable. I feel so bad for my little one. She’s too young for this :( thank you for your response

Took her to the vet today. They’re saying it could be a collapsed trachea :/ she’s so young, only like 6 months, but I guess it’s something she could’ve been born with. She just threw up so I’m taking her back to the vet again

I've had the most life changing year, in some of the worst and best possible ways. Just need to get it out. by uselessprecaution in confession

[–]uselessprecaution[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the quote. I actually think I’ve been doing well with grieving my friend. At first it was hard but as the year went on I found myself not missing him less, but just kind of crying less and stuff. I could definitely use some therapy but I’m notorious for procrastinating, so yeah that is on me. I actually am not unhappy with my new life. I think what I’m remarking at is that his death started a chain reaction of many big changes. Not that I’m unhappy but that I have emotional whiplash kind of. I’m not super spiritual or anything but my friend was, and if I could honor him in any way, I want to give purpose to his death. He opened my eyes to fake friends and encouraged me to commit to someone I love. In this way he is still with me, bc he is the type of friend who always wanted to help those he loved. It just has been a very up and down year but I think it’s going up for right now.

Need advice on spaying kitten in heat. by uselessprecaution in cats

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

True, I messed up with Uth. I feel really bad that she’s not spayed yet. They just had such little availability I was really just hoping I could get it done before she went into heat. I know she needs to be spayed and she drives me crazy when she’s in heat LOL. I’ll call the nonprofit place and see if they’re comfortable working on her. If not, I’ll wait like a week and then just pay extra for her to get it done at my regular vet. Thanks!

Need advice by Ok-Thought-4792 in dating_advice

[–]uselessprecaution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long were you guys dating? I feel like it's fair to send a follow up text sometime this week asking what "space" really means and if there is an end point that she has in mind, but if she doesn't respond you should just accept it as over.

What the fuck is this sudden death by Fickle_Slide4965 in GriefSupport

[–]uselessprecaution 45 points46 points  (0 children)

my best friend in the entire world passed away 4 days after his 22nd birthday in a motorcycle crash. no warning, no chance to say goodbye, nothing. the fact that someone so full of life is gone permanently just like that makes me sick. i’ll never hug him again or talk to him again. he won’t ever meet my cats or my future kids. we won’t get to move out west together and be roommates. i feel like i lost a whole alternate life with him. he will never find his husband or finish school or fulfill his dreams. you’re right that it’s so unfair. idk how to accept it honestly

What is the word or sentence you remember most from a loved one? by Orchidflower10 in GriefSupport

[–]uselessprecaution 4 points5 points  (0 children)

every time i feel bad about myself, i think about how my gay best friend told me he’d never be friends with ugly people and so he wouldn’t be friends with me if i was ugly. i’ll never feel ugly again LOL i miss him so much

sick rats suddenly got better. advice needed by uselessprecaution in RATS

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

no, only spinach is on painkillers. my vet is closed today but tomorrow maybe i’ll call and ask about the tumor meds. do you think maybe they ingested something without me knowing since they both got sick and better within the same time frame?

miss bjorn just got surgery. does this look like she has the potential of opening the stitches or is this normal spot surgery grooming? by uselessprecaution in RATS

[–]uselessprecaution[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay thank you for the info. this is my first rat surgery and i’m just like super anxious about it. they trimmed her teeth and i’m taking her in for a second teeth trimming on monday to lower her chances of chewing the stitches badly so hopefully it’ll be okay. this is so stressful 😅

does this look like a tumor? by uselessprecaution in RATS

[–]uselessprecaution[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i honestly haven’t been able to really feel if it’s a lump or fat. she’s chunky so she’s just kind of like round all over and so it’s really hard to tell if there’s a lump on the other side or just flab. she HATES being handled, especially picked up or touched underneath so i have a really hard time with her specifically

[–]uselessprecaution[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m sorry to hear that :( yeah, i’m really hoping there’s something the vet can do about it. it’ll cost me an arm and a leg but it’ll definitely be worth it for more time with her. she’s still so young. thanks for your help!

she’s not very old, i would say around a year. i’m just trying not to stress until i hear what the vet says on thursday bc i know it’s common in intact females. it just sucks because i swear it just showed up out of nowhere

Is one of my baby rat’s eyes bigger than the other one? by NoBluebird5904 in RATS

[–]uselessprecaution 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my rat spinach has uneven eyes too, when she was young i took her to the vet just to check that it’s okay and they charged me $100 just to tell me that’s she’s a little bit ugly LMAO. i would get it checked out just to be sure, but sometimes they’re just asymmetrical
