My friend had a Shepherd mix that would do that. It was so frustrating! We tried everything- smashing it up in dog food, dissolving it in broth, everything. Finally we put the pill and a little piece of pill pocket on the end of a straw, she held his mouth open, and I spitballed it in too far for him to get it out.

Fuck. I work with people who are too stupid to recognize how stupid they are. It’s exhausting!

I love cilantro. It doesn’t taste soapy to me.

I’m hoping desperately to do this in the winter.

It’s funny how we will do for others what we don’t do for ourselves. My sons sobriety began with a cat.

Why does ‘sweet Thai chili’ sauce in most restaurants taste like dishwater?

JP 3 is the best! 92 minutes - all of the action, no tired butt.

HOA’s are for people who used to be in positions of perceived power at work but now they’re retired and they miss bossing/bitching at people.

Do you think their spouses, children, parents, neighbors know what they do? Do they just say “it’s classified” and pretend that they have a real job?

And the worst thing about age-related memory loss is that those fucking moments are stuck like glue forever! Can’t remember my phone number but will never forget the stupid thing I did/said that one day

I’ve never heard that term. I get that some people choose not to date, but don’t most people just live- go to work, grocery, social events, etc.- and talk to the people around them? I don’t really see someone saying, “hey, if that nice girl talks to me I’m going to ignore her.”

I started using a spreadsheet in 2010. Expenses down the left ordered by due date. Paydays across the top. Months framed and colored.

My phone broke last week. The only way to login or to have customer service look at my account is to have a text message sent to my phone. Its so stupid!! I had to drive to the store 4 times!!!

No. I said this is a very poor area and many people are just trying to survive. Many are likely happy to have any job that allows then to support their families. People think it’s only white Republicans doing these jobs. The Rio grande valley is like 85% Latino. As someone else mentioned, border patrol and ice are not the same.

This is sad. It sucks. You want to say that violence isn’t the answer, but it’s easy to see how people hit their breaking point. ICE agents kidnapping people is horrible. McAllen is poor. The people who work in that ICE facility are likely just happy to have a job with benefits that feeds their families.

I’m a 4-5. Sometimes I can get like a wire frame sketch of the general shape of something.

I couldn’t understand what it’s like for people who actually see and hear things in their heads. I recently realized that I sometimes experience a faint taste and I guess it’s sort of like that?

When I get a song stuck (which happens constantly) I don’t hear it; I just have the unrelenting urge to sing it.

I have no sound, voice, or pictures in my head. I didn’t know that other people did see/hear things until a couple of years ago. Thoughts just come in chunks.

Good answer. Doc is the best answer but may be financially difficult. Some jobs offer EAP (employee assistance program) - it only gets you 3 free visits, but it is a start. Do some reading on depression. Try to find a reason to get outside each day - even if you start with a 5 minute walk and add a bit every day or two. Is there something or someone you can help? Sometimes you’ll do for others what you won’t do for yourself - a walk for the dog, a healthy meal for a spouse, …
