Growing up, my mom would watch these cozy murder mystery shows set in the UK. My husband doesn't believe in such things, can you suggest some good ones to watch with him?

Cozy and murders just don't coexist in his mind, and the American shows we watch just don't have the same atmosphere. Murder She Wrote is probably the closest I can think of, but it's not the same feeling to me.

Recently my cat has been crawling under the covers with me whenever I am in bed. Is it possible it's too cold for him in the house?

He's about 8 months old and he just started doing this a couple weeks ago. We keep it between 68 and 70 in the house right now. He purrs like crazy under there and does demand pets but I want to make sure he's not too cold in the house.

I See You (2019)

This movie is so good and I think the reason it's so good is the reason it is underrated. I can tell you to watch it but I can't tell you why, because not knowing is a big part of the reason!

Slow burn, great acting, and if you'll watch it, you'll know why I can't tell you why I'm recommending it.

My cat keeps eating my plants, please help!

I have tried to grow a few plants. Tomatoes, rosemary, basil, lemon balm, jalapenos.

Each time they sprout and start producing leaves my menace of a cat eats them down to the soil. I've moved them to shelves, put little wire cages over them, tried to block the windowsill, he makes it his life's mission to eat them. I do not know why.

I just want some pretty, usable greenery in my kitchen. Has anyone had any luck training a cat to just let things grow? Or do I need to only have plants outside?

Are there any species that THRIVE in zoos?

I am not a zookeeper. I have heard that for many species, it is difficult for them to be kept in zoos. Are there any species that just absolutely thrive in zoos? Even more than in the wild?

I want a friendly, lazy dog that's good with kids, cats, and strangers.

And i don't want them to be brachycephelic.

I'm a lazy person. I want to be cuddled on my couch most of the time, but I like an easy walk in the morning and a festival or farmers market on the weekends. I have cats and a kiddo and want a dog who loves being around them and people.

I know a puppy is most likely too much for me, so I am looking into rescuing an older pup, but I want a breed that is more likely to match my lifestyle.

What documentaries are worth watching? Factual, insightful, entertaining?

Some of the documentaries, I am skeptical of their facts. (Like What the Health). But I keep hearing Netflix has all these good documentaries. I just watched Fit for TV and liked it, What do you recommend?

Have people always been this bored?

I have more information and entertainment at my fingertips than at any point in history. And yet, I am bored. Nothing sounds exciting or novel. Is this a new phenomenon, or have people throughout history had trouble with boredom? Do people lament not knowing what to do with themselves during their leisure time in diaries?

Are any atheist parents here homeschooling? Do you have recommendations on a curriculum?

Our state has decided to force religion into the classroom (again). I have a 7 year old and am researching homeschooling curriculums, but most seem to be religious. It will most likely be a year or so before we pull them out of public school, but I want to be ready.

What curriculum has worked best for you?

I have been very depressed and can't seem to read anything new. Please, what are some good books that can help reignite my love for reading?

I have been cycling through my "safe" books, the Graceling series, Tamora Pierce's Tortall Series, Mercedes Lackey's 500 Kingdoms, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue...

But I want something new. Every time I pick something up, it just feels dull and grey. But that's what life feels like now.

I just want something colorful and new to help me get through this.

Any help would be appreciated!

I mean no disrespect, I am just really curious about what happens to those internal organs.

Sometimes its not side effects.

I went up to 7.5 last week! I expected side effects, so when I got diarrhea, I wasn't surprised. Then chills. It's a bit weird, but okay. And exhaustion, to the bone. I can deal, that's why I went up on the weekend and I could sleep.

​

Then I was achy all over. And spiked a fever.

​

Guys, I have a virus. I am sick. I do not know which are virus symptoms and which are side effects, which made my call to my doctor a bit muddy (although I called when my fever was 101 so it was always going to be muddy).

​

So, just take care of yourself out there!

We are meeting a puppy at our animal shelter tomorrow. What questions should I be asking?

I haven't had a puppy in over a decade. We lost our 13 year old pup almost 2 years ago. We are meeting a 8 week old puppy at our animal shelter tomorrow and I want to be sure I am asking the right questions when we go.

I'm trying therapy again tomorrow. Every time I've done therapy it seems like its just an expensive vent session, when I really want to fix my brain. How do I do that?

This will be my 6th attempt over the past 5 years. I find a therapist, go to sessions once a week, and it feels like I'm paying to just vent about my life and not really fixing any problems in my life.

I have ADHD, PTSD, depression, and anxiety. My life is a mess. I need actual help to cope with life and my mental state, not just a place to freely talk about my problems and get validation. I need tools, tricks, and things to do, not just empty chatter.

How do I get a therapist to provide that? And how long do I take to figure out if they will help? I usually have therapy for 3-6 months before I get tired of just talking all the time. Am I jumping ship too soon?
