I love animals, nature, and travel so particularly enjoy such content in here. I have one cat of my own (an old but sassy tabby) and am the self-proclaimed favourite hooman to two neighbourhood dogs.

Only The Bold Can Handle These Brutal 50-50 Choices - Vote & See Where You Stand

I'm the same way XD And I was an English major/have a degree in English/Creative Writing XD I KNOW the words, I know a LOT of words, but when I'm talking, I forget all of them XD I end up flailing my arms around and saying stuff like "You know, the THINGY. THE THINGY. The ROUND thingy!" while the other person stares at me blankly. My now-ex used to tell me that I spent too much time online and was losing my vocabulary because I looked at too many memes (I'm serious, he actually said that) but joke's on him, I've been not finding the right word since LONG before we met 25 years ago.... XD

Just because you might not have experienced it yourself does not mean it isn't real.

No comparison at all, influencers are the most important people out there, working inconceivably difficult jobs, far beyond what we made mortals could manage.

I remember the first time I had to have a cat put down. His body was so far gone that the injections just didn't work, seemed to be an age, then eventually the vet injected something directly into the liver. I was leaning against the wall, slowly slipping down it, tear running down my face. I was probably about 25 at the time. RIP Sabre, my first lovely cat. Edit: James has just jumped up on the bed with me to make me feel a little better.

“What Is The Wildest Thing Someone Has Said To You While You Were Going Through A Hard Time?” (40 Answers)

During the pandemic (with uni classes being online), I got a bad final grade in a class (wasn’t a fail but still one of the lowest grades I’ve ever had). This was on top of several mental health issues I was dealing with so the stupid grade was the tipping point. I thought I’ll try the Samaritans hotline. Was my first time ever calling a hotline so I didn’t tell them everything but focused on my low grade and how I’ve been down lately. The person on the line actually laughed and spoke to me in a mocking tone the entire time as if they couldn’t believe someone was upset over a simple grade when it was clear that it wasn’t the only thing bothering me. The call made me feel even worse and I’ve never sought help from a helpline since. Given it’s mostly volunteers with no actual experience working these lines, there’s not much hope.

Sounds like they’re parroting what adults have said around them. I have a cousin who did the same when he was younger. His parents hated each other and for the first several years of his life he grew up around that. One time during some island tour trip we took together with several other relatives, the men went off to buy the boat tickets while the women and kids stayed back at the beach. His mum was joking with the other women about how she wants to push her husband overboard once the boats are out at sea. My cousin who was around 3/4 at the time heard this and kept repeating it for the next several hours, saying “let’s push dad off the boat” and laughing at it. I was a kid myself but I felt so uncomfortable that a kid would say something like that about his own dad after hearing from his mom.

My aunt once called a mental health crisis hotline type number and was told to “look at the trees.” As if seeing a leaf would instantly cure her depression and trauma.

Dude, if you take me to an event with you, and while we are STANDING TOGETHER IN LINE ignore me for 2 d**n hours, that tells me plenty about you. But yes, as a woman, I'm sad and lonely because I refuse to let pricks (like you, for example) disrespect me.

I read it as though they were standing together in line and he didn't acknowledge her existence for that time. That's a weird af situation to ignore someone at.

Or...break up with him. Or both. Both is good. EDIT: For all the dumb MALE incel gamers being intentionally idiotic about my comment, this is why no one wants to date you. Don't freaking invite your girlfriend to go somewhere with you and then ignore her. If my boyfriend, who is not a gamer, thank God, ever flat out ignored me anywhere, let alone at an event he wanted me to come to, there'd be problems. I swear, men will complain about not getting attention from every random woman they see, but ignore the ones they're in a relationship with and then wonder why she wants nothing to do with them. Just...be single.

“Blow On Their Nose”: People Have Firsthand Experience That These 45 Cat Hacks Work

Doesn’t even have to be metal or tin. Shake any container with cat treats (small kibble sized dry treats) and you’ll find your cat from anywhere. In my house we use a plastic ice cream tub (used as Tupperware). We buy cat food in those big packs. To prevent the whole bag from going stale with repeated opening and closing, we transfer a portion to the ice cream tub and use that daily, refilling it about once a week or whenever it finishes. When we can’t find our cat, we just rattle the tub and she’ll be by our feet in seconds lol.

50 Of The Wildest “We Need To Leave Right Now” Stories

Not really a gut feeling but something similar happened in my family when I was younger. My older sister and I shared a room right across from my parents’ room. One night my dad just woke up randomly in the middle of the night (he didn’t know why he woke up) to see a bright flickering light coming from our room. He went to check it out to discover that the electric pedestal fan in our room was on fire. It had a plastic frame so the fire was spreading quickly and the blades were still spinning, making the flames fan out even further. It was also right next to our shared bed. He battled the fire and managed to put it out. All that and neither my sister nor I woke up! We only heard about it in the morning.

Had to do a double take when I saw that notification lol! But then I did save a screenshot of it :p
