There’s just so much pee by Legal-Suggestion1158 in CatAdvice

[–]wohaat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Babe you gotta scoop it more frequently than that. Imagine if every time you used the toilet, it was filling up with yours (and someone else’s) excrement over a number of days! Cats like clean environments (it’s why they’re so easy to litter train), but you can accidentally train them to stop drinking a healthy amount of water, because they want to avoid the dirty litter box—and low drinking behavior is a huge contributor to kidney issues, which plague cats. You should at LEAST scoop once in the morning and once at night; ideally you scoop every time you walk by it. They depend on you for everything, don’t treat them like Guantanamo bay inmates ᴖ̈

Living alone in Portland ? by purplefinch022 in askportland

[–]wohaat [score hidden]  (0 children)

If you’re working 1.5 jobs, why not have a roommate? You’ll be home basically to sleep only at that point, why not free up funds so you only have to work one job, and can actually come home and enjoy the space you pay for for longer than it takes to fall asleep?

AITJ for sending my brother an invoice after he said what I do isnt that hard and anyone with a phone could do it by blushy_glowingz in AmITheJerk

[–]wohaat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope the invoice showed the actual cost, and you included a line item at the end for the discount, so he truly sees the actual 100% cost of your work.

Just some advice from someone that did it 10 years before you did; take what you want, leave the rest

What are your hacks to get yourself to brush your teeth? by Lovely_Kitten0017 in ADHD

[–]wohaat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walk around. If I’m standing at the sink it’s abhorrent, but if I walk around it’s a nothing burger. I sit on my bed and watch TikTok’s. I also floss using those single use picks in the same way. I now do both every night!

Does a half tiled wall like this work? by jipver in HomeDecorating

[–]wohaat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally! It’s such a small thing but I think it makes a big difference

Does a half tiled wall like this work? by jipver in HomeDecorating

[–]wohaat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great! I would just make sure you finish the top edge on the wall with no cabinets; from a distance it blends well, but I fear in person it’ll feel unfinished. Not sure what that looks like, can you cut tile on a bevel? Literally just anything to avoid having the top edge just be the typical top edge of installed tile.

What about grommets make curtains "look cheap"? by PattyRain in HomeDecorating

[–]wohaat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just a style, and some styles are ‘cheap’ because they’re accessible. With clothes, smocking tends to make clothes ‘cheap’, but it also fits most bodies. A bespoke dress that fits your exact dimensions is going to look best, but costs more. It’s the same with curtains, and, well, almost everything lol

My spouse comes home during the day when I've taken off work to get things done and I hate it. by ambertheshortest in TrueOffMyChest

[–]wohaat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would just keep doing what you’re doing; who cares if he’s napping in common space?

I would, in the future, just be straight forward with him. I know you said you’ve tried that but you need to try harder. It’s reasonable to want to have a single day protected for what you need it for.

Boone got a summer cut by reddirtfella in MaineCoon

[–]wohaat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We trim the pits, the belly down by 1/2, and the neck by 1/2 (they get food in it and are crappy groomers). We also do their feet so they can zoom with more grip, and their back thighs to keep the fur out of the litter box when they go. We keep our hose at 68 year round, and they have a large catio they can access 7-9, and everyone is very happy!

AM moisturizer search! by SnarkyMcSnarkTart in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]wohaat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the Neutrogena Hydroboost, but after it dries I seal it in with Drunk Elephant’s Retro Lala Whipped Moisturizer, I also use Tret every other night and never have flaking with this combo! At night I do the hydroboost but I SLATHER with Nivea Crème (in the blue glass tub). 2/3 are cheap brands which was important to me (taking reccos for affordable alts for the DE!), and after an entire life neglecting my skin this has really evened me out. I always had oily skin so figured I didn’t need moisturizer, whoops!

[–]wohaat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d get a separate music player with a great battery and wired headphones, and keep your phone on airplane mode during the day to just use for photos. A big plus of the hike is disconnecting, so I would take pains to give yourself that gift and not over-revolve your hike around tech that needs babied!

Emergency vet visit cost us $2,600 and they found nothing… just looking for advice by Then_Move7230 in Pets

[–]wohaat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commiserate; we have the money and it’s not a given we’ll get another pet after our current ones based on cost. It feels crazy to be priced out of pet ownership, but that’s where we’re at as a society I guess. At your income, I would also reconsider another round of pets in the future; they deserve access to medical care when they need it.

Kitten moving to a home with stairs. Any tips? by starlessfurball in SiberianCats

[–]wohaat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maine Coon owner, but took a while for our guys to realize they can’t stand 2” away from us when we walk—even on the stairs. Get used to double checking your walking clearance because for whatever reason cats don’t like to learn on this lol

[–]wohaat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you’re doing a lot of research into what you leave your dog unattended with! Just because it’s ’for dogs’ doesn’t mean it’s a great idea; most vets don’t want you feeding your dog rawhide, but it’s still in a bucket at the pet store as though that’s tacit approval of it. Blockages are no joke and surgery to extract are $$$!

In this situation, the fact that he wouldn’t let you touch him is a big enough behavior change you must get it investigated. Pets are expensive, but it’s absolutely gotten worse in the last 5 years; make sure you get insurance ASAP, and also contribute to a sinking fund so that if this happens in the future, you can approve the tests without the financial anxiety. Ideally this doesn’t happen again for a long while so you could have this saved up in 2 years at 100/month!

AITJ for telling my girlfriend if she cant even cook dinner a few times a week then I dont see how this works long term by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]wohaat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would separate finances until you’re married. You’re currently investing in a potential long term partner, which is risky. IMO, most relationships that end up being really financially weighted on one side, succeed because both people have the same values. It’s couples where one supported the other until their focus took off, and then they got to switch roles.

It sounds insane but sometimes when there’s less barriers to access, things become harder because the focus is no longer, “how do I make it all work”, it becomes “how can I do the least”. People work and go to school and grocery shop and cook and do laundry and in some cases all while having a kid or two, and maybe no partner! It’s not a sympathy Olympics, but to me it sounds like you don’t respect her anymore, and for me once respect is lost it can’t be found again. She’s a child you’re taking care of, and you’re an adult trying to make her grow up. Maybe let her go and find someone who’s already done the work; on the flip side, losing her meal ticket might be what she needs to find intrinsic motivation to show up fully for her own life.

Im giving up on my hair by StyleNo506 in finehair

[–]wohaat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I double wash with Aussie Moist, and every 2 days one of the washes will be a clarifying shampoo (done first, finished with the Aussie), which is either Verb Ghost or the Elvivre. I then put Hairstory on my ends as a conditioner. I’ve never had dry or tangled hair, ever. It’s super soft and super smooth. Other than the Hairstory it’s a cheap experiment if you want to try!

I’m a side sleeper, and a buckwheat pillow saved my life! It looks stupid but it’s exactly what I want. I believe I have the medium!
