OP, the clock is created and moved my humans. Its not actually something that counts down on its own.

I really really wanted to do this in my bathroom cabinet, but it unfortunately just ended up being too small.

So did his weepy eyes resolve on their own? Did he have any other symptoms along with it.

The first illness was a couple days after I brought him home from the shelter. both his eyes were watering like crazy and he was sneezing like mad, was also coughing rarely. I took him in pretty much right away. They said it’s very normal for shelter cats to get sick, but that he did have a bit of an unusual pathogen causing it (Mycoplasma).

The second time he had only one watery eye and was sneezing a bit but less so. Also coughing rarely. I tried to do a wait and see with this and was wondering if it was allergies, but it stayed the same for several weeks (no better but no worse), so he got antibiotics and it cleared up again.

This time he has two weepy eyes, but he actually hasn’t been sneezing much at all. He does cough rarely. I’m still doing a bit of a wait and see with the lysine this time before I bring him in.

Interesting, I had not heard of this one. How much did that end up costing you? Sounds like it’ll be in the tens of thousands of dollar range and won’t be covered by my pet insurance lol.

My guy follows me everywhere, but whenever I turn the shower on he runs away! He seems to be a bit scared whenever it rains too. The guy must really not like water.

But if I can get him to chill in the bathroom with the shower on, I’ll give it a go.

Awww poor babies. :(

Did they ever figure out the cause? I had not really heard of this as an outcome, just particular infections that can happen and tooth loss (my guy was already missing his top front teeth!).

Ohh same. I was like wtf why is the litter so huge??

You know what I’m going to say something different and I hope it’s not too inappropriate.

The other commenters have done well so far. But have you considered using some of your money for therapy? I see you said you’re on antidepressants, but I wasn’t sure if you were already in therapy or not.

I don’t mean this as a cop out answer and I don’t mean that they will directly help you with your finances. But it might be a good idea to talk to someone about the “nothing matters because the world is going to shit” mentality. Even if there is merit to what you say, it isn’t exactly helping you feel happy or satisfied with your life. If you can learn to cope with this particular thought, you might find the rest falling into place a little easier.

I’m pretty sure I would eat shit if I tried to learn any BMX stuff. Hope you enjoy it even though you mangled yourself lol.

Ahh damn that sucks. It makes it super easy for tennis shoes/sneakers.

I guess I don’t have delicate shoes. I just throw them in the washing machine.

Love the content warning on this lmaoo

I feel like I need to buy some of those lights where you can choose the colors and just have them year round.

February - red, pink, white

March - green

October - orange or purple or a combo

November - red and orange?

December - red and green

And then other months just go with your vibe.

Does she ever get stuck lol

I also found this to be odd.

Obviously anyone could donate their entire earnings to charity, but it doesn’t really make sense for the self. Why is he donating all of it instead of donating some and keeping some? Whose idea was this?

Literally same. Luckily I had managed to avoid thinking of it beyond my teen years for a good decade. But it has come back worse than ever when I recently started listening to a podcast about some philosophy.

It’s fucking terrifying and depressing. Anyone who doesn’t believe in an afterlife but says it’s not terrifying and depressing is taking mega levels of copium.

At one point recently I remember I was walking around in public doing a bit of people watching and I was like holy fucking shit everyone is just walking around like this is nothing. Everyone is gonna die but we have all this random bullshit everyone is doing not realizing it’s gonna end. Idk.

How is your cat so long? Is this an elastic model?

Have you looked up “contamination OCD”? That’s basically what you’re describing! I wouldn’t say it’s overly common among the general population, but it is an incredibly well known phenomenon and something that providers are definitely able to treat! If you’re not able to see someone due to various reasons like cost (totally understandable!), you might try looking up the methodologies that specifically address and treat contamination OCD.

So a caveat to this is that digital signal is absolutely shit compared to analog. Back when we had rabbit ears, even if the picture was fuzzy/suboptimal, you could watch the show just fine. Nowadays? If you’re not getting 100% full strength signal, it is literally unwatchable. The audio and picture freeze every two seconds which makes it literally impossible to understand and follow dialogue. Either I get a crystal clear picture and audio or I get an unwatchable mess. There is no in between anymore with digital signal.

Plus, I only seem to get this crystal clear signal from the top floor in my home and near a window. If you have a lower floor or have the antenna a bit too far away from the window, it also just does not work hardly at all. This was never an issue with analog signal for me.

Idk if it’s just me or not. There are a ton more channels overall with the digital signals compared to analog, but it’s frustrating that I only seem to be able to watch them if the signal is absolutely perfect.

I mean it sounds interesting but I’m kind of disappointed that the gallery link doesn’t seem to work. It would be nice to know even remotely what kind of things are inside these vending machines.

Like are they canvas prints inside? Little postcard sized items? Pottery? Like I just want to know at least very vaguely what kind of content is involved.
