  • When I was a lad, I ate four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large.

    And now that I'm grown, I eat five dozen eggs so I'm roughly the size of a barge.

  • My mom drinks a shitton of coffee in the morning when she wakes up and then alcohol to go to sleep at night. 🙃

  • In my experience, you can get away with going really cheap for dry feeders though. They really aren't that complex. I got like the second cheapest one I found on Amazon and it has been working great for the 6 months since I got it.

  • So did his weepy eyes resolve on their own? Did he have any other symptoms along with it.

    The first illness was a couple days after I brought him home from the shelter. both his eyes were watering like crazy and he was sneezing like mad, was also coughing rarely. I took him in pretty much right away. They said it's very normal for shelter cats to get sick, but that he did have a bit of an unusual pathogen causing it (Mycoplasma).

    The second time he had only one watery eye and was sneezing a bit but less so. Also coughing rarely. I tried to do a wait and see with this and was wondering if it was allergies, but it stayed the same for several weeks (no better but no worse), so he got antibiotics and it cleared up again.

    This time he has two weepy eyes, but he actually hasn't been sneezing much at all. He does cough rarely. I'm still doing a bit of a wait and see with the lysine this time before I bring him in.

  • Shoot yeah I forgot I was going to keep buying "low dust" litter when I first was wondering if both he and I were getting allergies, but I haven't bought "low dust" ones recently. Even still it looks like the standard clay litter is always dusty even if it has a "low dust" formulation.

    I'm not really too keen on switching the type of litter to be something like those wood pellets either. Seems like the other types are more complicated and a lot of cats don't like them. He's used to standard clay litter.

  • Interesting, I had not heard of this one. How much did that end up costing you? Sounds like it'll be in the tens of thousands of dollar range and won't be covered by my pet insurance lol.

  • My guy follows me everywhere, but whenever I turn the shower on he runs away! He seems to be a bit scared whenever it rains too. The guy must really not like water.

    But if I can get him to chill in the bathroom with the shower on, I'll give it a go.

  • Awww poor babies. :(

    Did they ever figure out the cause? I had not really heard of this as an outcome, just particular infections that can happen and tooth loss (my guy was already missing his top front teeth!).

  • Ohh same. I was like wtf why is the litter so huge??

    Jump

  • Thank you! He was the sweetest, chillest guy there who wasn't afraid to be out in the open and relax in front of everyone. Knew I had to pick him. :) I guess he had been there for around 5 months before I got him. He's around 4-5 years old and I named him Lester. He bunts me all the time and when his eyes are teary and stuff he wipes them all over me still lolol!

  • Im stupid but have money

    Jump

  • You know what I'm going to say something different and I hope it's not too inappropriate.

    The other commenters have done well so far. But have you considered using some of your money for therapy? I see you said you're on antidepressants, but I wasn't sure if you were already in therapy or not.

    I don't mean this as a cop out answer and I don't mean that they will directly help you with your finances. But it might be a good idea to talk to someone about the "nothing matters because the world is going to shit" mentality. Even if there is merit to what you say, it isn't exactly helping you feel happy or satisfied with your life. If you can learn to cope with this particular thought, you might find the rest falling into place a little easier.

  • In most cases the simplest explanation is the correct one

  • Yeah, one of my siblings has always been a cocky asshole his whole life for reasons unknown to me. My other two siblings and I obviously have our own issues, but I wouldn't call any of us assholes. We all grew up in the same environment so it's odd to me.

  • mRNA cancer vaccine shows protection at 5-year follow-up, Moderna and Merck say

    Jump

  • Bahaha. Ok I'm ngl this is why I haven't gotten it either. Sometimes I decide I want to get it anyway "just in case", but then I get lazy about it. 🙃

  • Can you not get the HPV vaccine as a guy? Is it like not allowed in some areas? In my area, men, women, children, etc all can get it unless you're close to retirement age.

    Men can get HPV-associated penile cancers, although they are obviously much less common than cervical cancer. Still...you don't want to lose your dick to dick cancer. Had a case somewhat recently at work with this scenario.

    And besides penile cancer risk, the vaccine would help prevent it in their female partners. Or it can help prevent anal cancer in your male (or female) partners.

    Idk it just seems like a win-win for everyone to get it.
