Cat parents - have you discovered spots around your cat’s nipples? I adopted my cat recently—she was cleared healthy by previous owner’s vet, a vet in my area within 8 days of new home, and is in Revolution. No pets in my place, indoor cat, and hasn’t been anywhere since vet visit. She’s spayed but had litters before adoption.

Happy New Year to all members.

May all your goals this year be realized & may you be imbued with the wisdom, understanding, strength, courage, and perseverance to make them come to life.

Anyone else here irritated by the ghost kitchens and “virtual kitchens” flooding seamless, making it harder for us to find the legit physical restaurants? I got excited to see all these new Chinese places listed, only to discover they’re all the same place listed under 10 different names!

I would love some advice or a different perspective. I’m an attorney with less than one year of experience. I’m about to lose my job soon because the only two senior attorneys in my department are fed up of the firm we work for and leaving soon. After they leave, I don’t think my firm will keep me. They hired me to work specifically for this department. I’m trying to look for jobs but I’m not finding any in my specific area of law. Should I look into a new area of practice? I’m just scared.

Any designers wanna help me out with my portfolio? Everything is done, I just need some feedback to know how to improve it. I'd be very happy if you could help out!

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out? The sheer volume of work is exhausting and I haven’t taken a true vacation as we are a small company so if something urgent comes to my email I feel like I must respond. I was given an additional title and more responsibilities last year as well but only a 3% raise for it.

Christmas gift idea for a 5/6 year old boy? I'm googling stuff and it all seems to be articles that are Ads. Really need some input here, as I only stare at excel sheets 24/7. 😂 TIA

External Wholesalers here? Any chances I can break in with 5 YOE in M&A Advisory (supporting PE clients) from a Big4? Pay is stupidly low for the amount of work, and even partners in our group work 60hr/week at least. I thought about PE but the path is closed for me due to lack of IB experience.

I need help navigating this. One of my girlfriends is going through a hard time. I feel like she’s using my life in some ways as a distraction. I’m talking to this guy and she keeps asking me for updates. I met up with him last night and afterwards o called her and I told her about it. This morning she’s texting me is he messaged me and what did he say. It’s uncomfortable for me. I don’t want to give out every little detail

Both of my partners were diagnosed with cancer yesterday. BOTH of them. The diagnosis is not good for either, but particularly bad for my dad. My mom is starting chemo but my dad is unfortunately not a candidate due to concerns if he can handle it. I am traveling tomorrow to be with them and show support. What are some care packages I can bring (that do not involve food due to their restricted diets). Normally I’d be able to put these together but my mind doesn’t work currently. Much appreciated

What’s a nicer gift: Ferrero Rocher or Ghiradhelli chocolates? I like both but curious if one is considered better than the other? (Part of a holiday gift for a friend) TIA!

Do most people return items or just keep? My SO infuriates me. He would rather keep an item that he bought than return it even if it’s damaged/dislikes, etc. I said that most people return items that aren’t a good fit and he started going off on how I don’t have data to back that assertion. It seems obvious to me.

Any book recos for dating someone with anxiety? Also open to tips as well? In an LTR and my partner falls into deep periods of anxiety and takes sometime to get him back. Weighs on me sometimes but I love him so here we are. I’m in therapy myself so that helps but interested in understanding anxiety more.

I feel horrible. I fell asleep during a meeting for nearly an hour in a two hour meeting. It’s not like me but I was having a head time keeping my head up and focusing. There were 50 people on the call and I was jus there for information. No one asked me a question and no one will know (though I obviously won’t bill for it. I just feel bad about it.

Anyone regret eloping? I’m seriously considering it…

Feeling like a doormat right now. My boyfriend was laid off from his job in November but recently started working for the last few weeks. I have been mostly taking care of the bill when we go out...

Bit of an embarrassing topic, but here goes. I'm dependent on laxatives; not due to an eating disorder, but bc I would have hard to pass BMs that resulted in tears & hemorrhoids. Over the years, I've used everything from dulcolax tablets, miralax, trulance (which is the absolute best for me but $1800/mo bc ins doesn't cover), & daily use of mini enemas. Has anyone been able to wean themselves off laxatives in a situation like this? Yes, I know, talk to a dr; I'm not ready yet... shame is high

I absolutely hate this job and dread every Monday. Any suggestions on exit opportunities?
