i only want one also but I am SO the kind of person who never wants assistance or medication, even for headaches, until they are killing me. I even let my wisdoms grow in. so id probably be "nah, i'm fine, i'm fine, it's cool....HOLY SHIT IT'S NOT FINE NOW!" then plop in the middle of Target.

i only have one kid and he took 22 hours to come out. i hear that after than first one, they all just slide out like wet baby seals. that must be terrifying. but also, easier??? i dunno.

I understand that. I am only using that term in the sense that veterinarians and city officials use it to ban them from cities.

i smell what you're stepping in.

agree. I think it's terrible.

They may not be technically exotic, but they are generally under that umbrella because they aren't the most mainstream of pets. When we had ferrets, (again, not my choice) we had to find a "vet who accepted exotics" as not every vet accepts every animal. Also, ferrets, hedgehogs, sugar gliders and many other pets fall…

if they uncurl from their pulsating ball of hell long enough

yep. many areas won't even allow them. I think CA has a ban on ferrets. Exotic doesnt just mean tigers and lemurs.

"If you handle your hedgehog after using hand lotion or fragrant soap, you may see this behavior, too. Don’t be concerned. Even though you may feel like your hedgehog is having seizures or has contracted rabies, self anointing is perfectly normal."

it's called self anointing and our hogs would foam up like gang busters and get saliva everywhere

So, we had two hedgehogs 10 years ago because my mother is an exotics hoarder. I am 100% against owning exotics like hedgehogs, ferrets, sugar gliders, etc...but I wasn't educated about the exotic pet trade then. ANYWAY.

ok, can I ask...what does a man DO with tits that size that are fake? If they were real, they would at least be soft and squishable and I see the appeal in that. But these just look like they would feel like volleyballs. and what must her areolas and nipples looks like? I am genuinely curious.

Brava! i can only imagine how good that feels

Well, maybe "enjoy" wasn't the best word. I absolutely hate that I have to do it, and I hate being seen as a monster by some people when we are hard pressed for alternatives right now. But yeah, I am glad when an animal gets me instead of someone else.

the abuse in my family goes back a loooooong time. my mother was abused by her father and first husband and so we all just forgave her, in a way, for her actions upon other people. I think it's what kept me from killing her - I pitied her. But after having a child of my own, I know that chain CAN and must be broken…

I know I'll go back, in some capacity. I oddly enjoy euthanizing animals. The calm that they aren't in pain and scared anymore is satisfying to me. There's a peace in it.

With you, love. Worked in shelters for years, high-volume euthanasia shelters and as a cruelty caseworker. That shit is traumatic. I had to take a break. Hats off to you for cleaning up this mess society has made.

oh my goodness. I am so sorry. ugh, parents. they will fuck you up.

Thank you. Her older sister, who my mother also tormented, has sort of adopted my sister and me. I am 32 and finally feel like I have a mom now! My aunt, sister and me all got together last year and decided we'd had enough and we haven't spoken to her in a year. It's been really good.

i am 32 now. I left when I was 18 so i have been safe from the physical abuse for a while. The mental abuse I have been free from for about a year when I finally told her to fuck off. It's been a great year!
