And here’s a bit of a problem... if I quit, and I am going to quit, it will be obvious that my problem with this woman came to a screaming head today (it was witnessed by another co-worker). This type of thing has happened 3x before, and each time my strategy (hah) was to go stone-cold and monosyllabic, whereas…

I’m considering cutting all contact with my family. My parents got divorced when I was 11, and my Dad’s casual alcoholism turned into sad, dangerous, life-ruining alcoholism. He just died last year of liver failure. My mom became totally uninterested in my life once I became old enough to have a personality. She…

While your health situation may be changing, don’t let it define you. Continue to live your life, enjoy your loved ones, all the good stuff. Maybe you have to make some changes to work around the health issues. You will. Don’t think of it as “new normal”. Think “normal with some tweaks”.

Sometimes you just have to step back and let people live their lives.

So. My health has taken a turn for the shitty. I have thick hair that goes half way down my back, and it’s falling out - like, coming out in handfuls... People keep assuring me that it looks fine, and it does - but it’s noticeably thinner than it used to be, it was just so thick that this hasn’t been that detrimental…

Anybody have a little positivity (or cute dogs) to share?

Ha thank you. It’s less artistic ability and more tracing and a lot of erasing though haha. I usually literally tape a piece of graph paper to my computer screen, shade the parts I want to stitch, then go over it with the x’s making sure I’m not doing halves.

“Holy shit, CA Pinkham was Locomotive Jones?!”

This is your non-productive week?

This week was not productive! I am in trouble!

My point is that the comment above about protein clearly demonstrates no understanding of what protein is.

Here is the thing people won’t tell you. . Protein isn’t ONE thing, it’s a whole big classification of things. So when people say you need protein in their diet, they actually mean a bunch of different kinds of proteins. Different animals can synthesize different proteins. Some of these aren’t really in vegan food.

How dare you bring logic into this very scientific thoroughly cited discussion.

That doesn’t say anything about protein.

Any diet you give your dog is forcing something on them. People who feed their dogs vegan stuff are no more forcing their decisions on them as are people who feed their dogs pellets made of ground up byproduct meal.

Not objecting to cats being carnivores, but protein doesn’t just come from meat.

I’m sorry, but this idea is absolutely horseshit.

That’s what your sister said.

I would have hated them back then if I’d been alive.

But does she watch you eat a sandwich and wait until you’re down to the last two bites that you’ve been thinking about since before you actually started eating the damn sandwich because they are the two best bites of the whole damn sandwich and then demand that you give her a bite and then she proceeds to eat those…
