Plus if they have FSA funds left they want to use them before the year ends

It’s hard, but the best thing to do is to have the cat put to sleep. Make sure you are there with her at the very end tho. I can’t state enough how important it is to be there with her in the end. You got this OP. No more suffering for your lil cat, who is also a family member and lifelong friend.

If you don’t have the brevity to actually write the word horny you probably shouldn’t give health advice kid…

My family let our dog of 14 years fall asleep at home in October. It was so fucking hard to do, but it was worth doing knowing that the next few weeks of his life would have been painful. From my heart to yours, I hope you are recovering well from your loss

Yeah, what if you've been alone for a long time and you're using masturbation as an escape? That can be really negative behavior
Edit: I heard this from an inlaw who's a licensed psychologist. If you don't like it, maybe it's more complicated than you think

Well, to be fair, it wasn't just pharmaceuticals, but also had health devices and other assortment. A lot of people buy health devices for their near and dear ones I suppose.

It's a pro tip sub for tips people didn't know. How do you expect people to learn about something if it can't be reposted? How is anybody supposed to search for something they don't know about?

Reply to comment by ravalejo in LPT: boil rice until it’s almost fully cooked, drain, then return to pan, cover and steam on low heat for 10 mins. Tastes much better than boiling, draining and serving. by circumlocutious
Thanks so much! I also don't eat meat and the tip for roasted mushrooms sounds amazing. I use plant-based meat sometimes, but I love mushrooms and forget to use them most of the time.

My family had a cat (16 years old) with dementia, hyperthyroidism and later cancer as well. What ended up calming her was Valium/Diazepam. First two where quite good to handle with meds and she ended up gaining weight and less vocal/yelling. Eventually she ended up having cancer and they decided it was ready to let her go. But in the mean time she had a good and even beter quality of live with the Valium.

interesting, never thought that people don’t need pharmacy products whole year round.
In grocery, it is maybe +10% of normal month, nothing too exciting

This almost fucked us after our very first year of home ownership. Property taxes skyrocketed in our area because it's an old neighborhood with old houses being torn down for newer ones. We have a new house, and after the first year of ownership, our payments went up $400 a month because of property taxes.
This increase took effect a month after upgrading my wife's little Sentra to a large SUV (Palisade)

The idea that you have to save up sick leave is also a ridiculous system to some of us, fyi

I translate In simple and easy terms what the author meant. I know the Theme about cats on the Internet is heart ridden. But there are People who don’t react in a nice way like you to animals.
Here my ELI -9000 translation for you:
I get really really sick around cats :(:(:(:( This medicine against getting sick around cats makes me nearly fall asleep all the time… that’s a bummer!!!!
There is this cat that always wants to be cuddled at my old grandmas place! I really really want to visit her :(:(:(:( How can I make that cute cat not come near me in a nice way??????

Lol. My girlfriend is a teacher. The only time we can take off together is during the quiet times when everyone else is with their kids.

Indeed. My 16 year old moggy is on medication for an hyperactive thyroid and is doing well on it.
