I've been my Yaya's (Greek for grandma) full-time caregiver for the past three months doing 14 to 16 hour shifts, seven days a week. One picture is the last time she said I love you to me on her deathbed and the other is us holding hands. I don't like the backgrounds on either.

Could someone either blur the background, black it out, or do some kind of Greek Orthodox related background such as beautiful Greek orthodox stained glass or something with the "Greek key" or even the beautiful colors of the waters/blue & white buildings in Santorini Greece? I just want something special to remember her by that doesn't have that messed up lamp or the washcloth I was using to cool off her forehead before passing. TIA and you can ask any questions that may be helpful! Means a lot to me.

Peptides and "double" Retinol. Anyone tried? It's a really watery consistency, which I'm not huge on. Some derm posted she liked it / reviewed ingredients. Wondering if anyone else can weigh in? TIA!

I used to be able to get the box that had a quesadilla, a spicy potato taco, cheesy fiesta potatoes, and a drink and now it's just gone (I think it was the $9 box). As a vegetarian, it was a perfect box and now it's just gone. Why would they do that? Just to change it up?

I don't know, but I know that I'm gonna order Taco Bell way less often than I used to. Which is probably good for my "summer body" cuz at this point my summer body is looking like, "I have a good personality." 😂

I took pictures at night for the ambience and a picture during the day to see what my lofted bedroom window looks like. 🫶🏻 I bought this condo about 6 years ago. Any idea of what it gives off/says about me? 🙂 (no judgments to criticism). Just interested to hear feedback, thanks in advance!

Did a day pic for the view & night pics for the ambiance 🫶🏻(my condo bedroom is lofted)

So today is a rough day for me..it’s the anniversary of my dad dying of ALS & the day my 7 yr old cat died 😔 had some short conversation w my dasher. He said something like, “man it’s been a day!” (It’s been storming , dark, and ugly all day). I said I feel ya, it’s a rough day for me and perfect weather for my mood and said the aforementioned info and that I appreciate his patience (it was a bit of a wait at the restaurant).

He dropped my food off and messaged saying it was dropped off. He said, “I also gotta you boba tea, hope it makes your day little better.”

Although I feel that our country is a dumpster fire, this reminded me that there are good people out there. I praised him and he was just very kind about it. Just wanted to share.

PS-before knowing about the boba tea, I had already given him an extra $1, after him sharing what he did, I called DD to add an extra $6 and praise him for going above & beyond, a kind gesture I wasn’t expecting. Just thought I’d share.

I’ve inherited a ton of dollhouse furniture and some sets come w the paper that give measurements. This says 6”L x 3 1/2”W x 2”H

**Is that 1:12 scale???**

I don’t understand any of these measurement guides, they all confuse me. I have probably 100 sets and know it’s best to sell in lots, in so overwhelmed! I’ve been using Google reverse image but want to double check. Most are resin, I know that much.

There is another set that has a clock that is 4” tall, is that 1:12?

Here’s original set I gave as an example (with the exact measurements).

I have three cats and one currently does not have any medical issues other than miliary dermatitis on her skin. She is 13-15 years old, I don’t know the approximate age but that’s what the vet estimates based on her teeth, she had 10 extractions.

I have two cats that have stage one kidney disease. I have a feeling that this cat may have something too, but I’m not sure what. I have heard that Trupanion is fantastic and I know Chewy has insurance as well. I’ve heard that the older they are the more expensive it is. Also, does anyone know when the insurance actually kicks in? I want to get her to the vet soon because I wanna get bloodwork and get a diagnosis if there is something to be diagnosed. But I didn’t know if it was like a 30 day post insurance purchase or something like that? If that makes sense?

I have spent an arm and a leg on my two senior stage one kidney disease cats, and prior to that I had a diabetic who was seven years old when she passed from diabetic ketoacidosis and pancreatitis, which cost me almost $5000 at the ICU and she died… on my dad‘s birthday… my dad died of ALS… So the day is already really hard for me…

I want to be proactive, but I am not sure which direction to go in. I don’t have a lot of money because I’m currently unemployed, but I have unemployment $ and I’m willing to spend a reasonable amount of money if I have to.

I just wanted to hear from anyone who has a senior pet that has benefited from pet insurance:

-which company

-average cost per month

-when it actually kicked in/started letting you use it.

-if it is a papers and then be reimbursed later type of insurance.

I kick myself for not having enrolled in insurance sooner bc the kidney disease bills would be less, but hindsight is 20/20.

Thank you so much in advance.
