I would suggest feeding wet food exclusively if you can. One of the biggest issue with cats are kidney problems from eating dry foods, especially as the cat ages. Fancy feast original pate are somewhat affordable and decently nutritious, but if you can't afford that, even canned friskies is good, try to stick to original pates, they have less fillers.

One of my cats refuses to eat wet food, so I feed her Wysong Epigen 90 dog/cat food. It's a very good food, and not horribly expensive.

I play multiple woodwinds, including recorder. Kids aren't taught how to play it right and the recorders they give the kids are kinda junky so they sound bad. The recorder is a quiet instrument, one doesn't "blow" through it, they touch it to their lips and exhale, least amount of air to sound the note is always the right way to play it, it fell out of favor because it's dynamic range is so limited.

This one is one of the best, and I've tried nearly all of them since they are so cheap:

Recorder is a gateway to other woodwinds, flute, saxophone, and clarinet, in particular.

When I was young, boxelder bugs used to come stick to the houses in the fall seeking a warm spot--hundreds of them. Haven't seen them in over 20 years. Also, used to have tons of milkweed, grasshoppers of all species, crickets and other insects all night long, and butterflies and bees galore.

Now it seems, all we have is mosquitos and flies.

When I retire, I'm moving North so I can try to live in a similar climate as my youth, maybe eastern Montana or western North Dakota.

She's an NP, get a physician to diagnose you. Insist upon it. Board certified psychologist, with an M.D. (not a D.O.), graduated from an american school, and find out where they went to Residency and ask them how much time they've spent in the inpatient psych. NPs probably never had to spend time with inpatient psych. Trust me on this, it makes all the difference on being assured your diagnoses is accurate.

Nah, no splurges, just dried beans and rice from the bulk bins. Sometimes you gotta pick up small stones, but that's the cost of freedumb. Oh yeah, canned corn was 3 for a dollar with a coupon, so I got some of that the other day, makes a decent addition to my rice and bean soup.

He's wrong. The U.S. was full of genocidal maniacs in the military leadership and Presidency throughout the cold war. In fact, War criminal Eisenhower threatened to nuke China in the first Taiwan Straight Crises, which led to China building their own nuclear weapons to avoid being pushed around, making the world that much less safe. If you really want to know how bad things were, the leaked Pentagon papers is a good place to start.

It's a miracle that we didn't have a world-ending nuclear holocaust.

This is animal abuse. That poor cat, torn from it's lovely farm life and all its family, to be thrust into a high stress living situation with those abusive dogs. Just terrible. kitty-cri-texas

This is really good, because it might open the door to additional lawsuits against public officials.

Conspiracy to advance US interests: It was a cyber attack by state actors that led to the ship malfunction.

Conspiracy to blame Captain of the Port as a scapegoat so US won't admit fault: Captain of the Port didn't mandate use of harbor tugs for moving past the bridge (it should be a regulation, that its not is ridiculous).

Conspiracy theory to advance private economic interests: Like 9-11, it's better to take out skyscrapers and critical infrastructure using accidents so the public bears the costs rather than the owners.

I feel like the truss bridge design using rigid steel support structure was a bad one. For such a long span, it seems cable support is the safest because cables allow for some movement and the structure isn't as rigid. If it weren't the ship, an earthquake may have eventually cause the same outcome. That thing fell like a wet noodle upon impact of just one support column, seems like a really bad design. Should have built something like golden gate bridge.

Stay safe. I hope posting here doesn't put you in any danger.

U.S. will give billions of dollars to support genocide, but won't feed it's own children. We've surpassed biblical levels of evil.

 

What the actual fuck? They moved the outlook search bar to the top of the window (the blue top box) and I can't move my sidebar to the left side of the screen to free up vertical real-estate. Fuck everything about this. Burn this software down.
