I loathe nutella.

But I love TJ's crunchy speculoos cookie butter. Can I substitute?

Why not give it a try and see? If you are willing to eat cool whip.

Meh - I'm a follower, not a leader.

When your parents are really having trouble with their marriage and are thinking about divorce, and one complains they won't get anything for mothers day, then gets mad when they do. I give up. I think you should be happy you got anything, because you thought you wouldn't. What has this world come to?

I hate nutella as well.

I don't know. It just has a weird taste to it. But if you like it...

My mom is now in the bathroom, yelling at my dad over the phone. Or I think that's who she's talking too. Sigh. It never ends.
I wonder what was in the card?

The worst thing that can happen is you don't like it and throw them out. Give it a shot.
I want to try making bomb pops myself. The kind with lemonade, cherry and blue raspberry. Mine never freeze together right.

That is so true. I'm curious to see if whoever tries it likes it. Let me know if you try it, Atisketatasket!

Dreamed last night that t and I said goodbye. It was not a sad dream like I would have thought it would be, but one where I woke up feeling absolutely empowered and ready to take on the world. Rather an unusual feeling for me, I must admit!

Need to get my day started, heading out to buy a new swiffer mop cuz my current one won't spray anymore and I need to mop the whole house (we have tile and laminate floors, no carpet). And I think I'm gonna look for one of those pet drinking fountain things again as mine always beg for the bathroom sink to be turned on so they can have fresh water. Yes, they are all spoiled! 😃

Have a good day, couch.

Well, dad says he will tell my mom in two days if he will divorce her or not. Want to talk to t, but can't until the 16th.

Art, my cats have this fountain, which I purchased on Amazon:

Amazon.com : PetSafe Drinkwell Stainless Multi-Pet Fountain : Pet Self Waterers : Pet Supplies

My oldest cat really loves it...I think the reflections on the stainless steel provide added entertainment! Stainless steel is easy to clean, too.

Junior cat loves to have a couple ice cubes put in his water dish - not to chill the water, but so he can watch them float around and melt and bat them with his paw.

And on Mother's Day too. What a fantastic douche. I'm sorry DF Tell your mom she should stop letting him f- with her and divorce him first.
Yeah, I know that's easier said than done... But it feels soooo gooood. Especially when they come crawling back begging and you get to tell them to go screw themselves. Ah, Freedom!

I know it's hard DF, but try to remember that these are your parent's problems. It's really not about you, even though it unfortunately affects you directly. Try not to take on their pain. Focus on you

My cats used to have a nice water bowl with a tank, until boy cat decided that slopping water all over the floor was much more fun than drinking it. So now they have a plastic dish duct-taped to the floor.

Thank you, JustShakey. I'm trying. I am surprisingly calm in the fact that it is not my fault. I think me and my siblings might have caused tension, but I know the problems were already there before we had these problems. It's just hard to see my mom in pain. I just wish I could take it away from here. And, at this point, my mom says she just wants him to figure it out so she can get on with her life. It hurts, but this way, she can heal.

Oh, the messes! Our youngest dog, when we put ice in the bowl outside, sticks his whole head in the bowl to get a piece of ice!

It's perfectly normal for kids to cause tension - it's part of growing up, and becoming an emotionally healthy adult, and something that most parents expect when they choose to have children. Don't ever feel bad for being a kid
It's very sweet of you to want to take away your mom's pain, but as a mom I can tell you that the best way to do that is to focus on 'doing you'. You can't make your mom's problems go away (only she can do that), but you can make her proud of you by doing the very best you can for yourself. Watching your child thrive might just be the best feeling in the world

That is what she tries to tell me. To get my degree, get married and have kids. Hard to do, but I try. And I think me and my siblings have caused more tension that other kids, with me having OCD, Generalized anxiety disorder, and social phobia, and my sister with depression, and ADHD, and my brother refusing to get help he needs (not only for his ADHD, but other things as well). We are just a bad mixture of mental and physical problems. And my mom continually tells me how she thinks she did something wrong on raising us to cause these problems. But it's not here. Honestly. And I keep trying to tell her that. But my parents have always had problems. It's just worse now. Thank you, by the way. I love the responses. They really make me think about things.

Hmmm..it seems my cat is in the minority. I had to rush him to the vet ER awhile back because it seemed he had an UTI. A million dollars later, they never got him to pee despite the fluids, so it resulted in taking him to the vet and them holding him until he pee'd (very stubborn, kitty!)

I had to switch him to all wet food to increase his water intake, and also i pour water in with his food when i feed him. I rarely saw him drink out of his water bowl when it was separate, now he laps it up like a good boy

Yes. It is. Plus my 3-5 hours if therapy a week on top of that. I think I'm avoiding my life.
