Right there with you. I have enjoyed many plays/movies/shows that are not about me. Art that is not about me and my experiences is often a great way to learn about others and their experiences.

Valid point. My vet will not perform declawing but if clients insist on it there is another local that he will refer to who will perform the operation.

I have a cat that is currently clawing up the wooden posts on my fourposter bed. WTF cat?!?! He doesn't scratch upholstered furniture or rugs, he likes to scratch wood! He also likes to scratch the rubber surface of flip flops

FWIW it's possible that cat just got out and lost. I prefer to think that rather than to think that it was intentionally abandoned.

I think this hits what is making me uncomfortable about this. Because really, I'm okay if guys want to get together and talk about how they feel about their partner or former partner choosing abortion. They are allowed to have feelings about that. Just like women feel all kinds of different ways after an abortion I'm…

I'm sure a pair of kitchen shears would work.

Ditto on the placenta thing. My second pregnancy was like that. It really freaked me out because I didn't feel nearly as much movement as I did with my first pregnancy.

And this is why I try* to monitor my kids' social media accounts. At least if they started something like this I could shut it down before it got far.

Wow! I think I would now get my tubes tied, an IUD, and a vasectomy for my husband just to be safe in your case.

It does say it's made in New York though so full props for that.

Unless you work in a SCIF just hit it from your phone. (Not that I've ever done this or anything.)

Only three cats could be located at experiment time. None of the three subjects were at all interested in the green olives.

I've been married since dinosaurs roamed the earth and we've never experimented with including others so I hadn't considered those scenarios. That seems ok to me because those are people you are going to be sharing fluids with anyway.

I guess if I had a bad yeast infection I might boil toys (or diva cup) before I used them again. Otherwise I've always found soap and hot tap water to be fine.

Well now I know what I'm doing during my boring conference calls today. (Teleworking) I have 5 cats and a jar of green olives. Let the experiments begin!

I had a cantaloupe loving cat years ago. You'd have thought I opened a tuna can when I cut into a cantaloupe. You are the only other person I've ever "met" whose cat shared this love.

I did not know that. That makes way more sense than somehow adding soap!

I have a former coworker who was horrified to find out that pork rinds contain pork.

They have a flip top and a straw top that you can buy separately.

I thought goldfish required only slightly more care than house plants. I guess maybe they really hated cleaning the tank?
