My poor baby kittens have to be boarded today because the exterminator is coming and one of them was spayed yesterday so she's recovering and her little fluffy tummy is shaved and I feel so bad for them
27
Did she get the little dress thing so that she doesn't lick the stitches?
12
The Cone Of Shame!
15
My favorite movie :) though I'm always sobbing by 5 minutes in
9
oh, it's a beautiful movie but yeah that opening makes me bawl.
It's the only movie with talking dogs where it's like yeah, these are talking dogs, not humans talking that look like dogs.
9
I prefer the little dress, because it looks like they're trying to be fancy
6
my cat is ALWAYS fancy
12
my best friend has a cat that's allergic to, like, everything. including herself. she wears a cone full-time, she's such a tragic little fuzzball. Sweet though. and fat.
10
No and I dunno why? They might be incompetent? But she is acting totally normal and not bothering her stitches but if she starts we'll shame cone her
12
My cats never really needed it. When they managed to slip the dress off, they still didn't lick them
7
ok cool. the people at the boarding place were like "what? she was spayed yesterday and she's not in a cone?" and I was like I DUNNO???? I'M BAD AT THIS???
13
Should have just left them at my house!
8
oh damn, if you mean it I will totally do so in the future lol. All my friends who would be willing to have a couple crazy cats in their house already have cats so you can't just throw them together
8
Yeah, I'd need to check with my roommates (they're pretty chill), but I'd fucking love to borrow some cuddly cat friends!
2
Today I woke up and contemplated driving across the country to start a new life.
24
Man I've been thinking about that a lot. I really need a fresh start somewhere else. When I'm done with school it's happening.
13
The weather is nice here in fl
9
I'm getting the hell away from the east coast.
6
I love where I live. Its got a beach and everything. Fucking windy though.
12

10
North East (Sunderland) Lovely beachers here!

If you have to ask this question, you aren't the person I'm looking for answers from.
7
Where would you go?
9

10
Wisconsin is not the cure for a lonely and robotic life.
14
[deleted]
6
What
9
Hey that's my plan! I'll be moving to Milwaukee in about 3 and a half months. I've spent a total of 24 hours in the state of Wisconsin in my entire life. Yay for new life experiences

You'll never escape murdercat, don't even bother
6
why?
5
[deleted]
8
I think if you change locations, you will realize that you're still the same lonely robotic person with the same lonely robotic life you are now. Maybe you can approach life where you are now with the same approach you'd take as if you had moved far away. Go to different grocery store locations, or guest pass at other gyms and try to meet people and just change your routine up as much as possible.
8
So much this!
6
Like location has anything to do with that.
Dude everyone is lonely and everyone's whole life feels robotic.
Embrace it
6
[deleted]
8
I recommend it. I just moved across the country two and a half months ago, from a place where I was lonely and depressed. Now I'm still lonely but I'm pretty fuckin happy. Every morning I wake up and feel lucky. It's great.

6
I did the same thing after college. Now I'm just a sadpot in a different time zone.
4
I moved across the province alone last year August
It's good but I rarely have friends here at 18 feelsbadman
5
[deleted]
4
Do it then!!
5
Got an interview in half an hour. Utterly terrified.
Edit: I sort of survived. You guys are all awesome.
23
Whenever I have an interview in 30 mins I'm already outside the building pacing around for the first 20
14
Also pooping every 15 minutes.
13
And sweat, so much sweat. Why did I drink so much coffee?
12
Good luck!
13
IT'S TO LATE THEY ALREADY GOT HIM
16
shit
7
GOOD LUCK
9
Good feels: After being out of town last week, most of trainers and staff at my gym have come up to me (even between sets - the nerve!) to say they noticed I was gone and they're glad I'm back. Guys, this is adorable!
Bad feels: I ate something that did not agree with me. It feels like my known food intolerance but on a smaller scale which still feels painful and bloaty. I have no idea what it was, but I've already given up peanuts and I'm not looking to give up anything else.
22
GL on becoming fittit nazi mod, btw.
13
Application: I'm already here doing modstuff during work hours anyway. Competent desk jockey for mod!
11
[deleted]
13
I'm hoping this is just a blip because I don't remember eating anything too different. Definitely not as complex as your food stuffs so it will hopefully pass soon. I need my belt to fit again.
11
Awww you have gym peeps!! <3
Sorry about the bloaties
9
Thank you, at least my girth is now hard and less squish.
9
Oh wow, look at little miss silver lining here!! Nice!!
5
already given up peanuts
is that possible? i cant see myself doing that
9
Possible and terrible because I clearly remember how amazing peanut butter is
5
not possible for me http://i.imgur.com/rh0Q8O0.jpg
6
I'm gonna go cry into a jar of cashew butter, thanks.
5
My son is allergic to peanuts. Every once and while, I look longingly at a jar of Skippy in the grocery store.
3
I need to stop posting videos of my bench to the gram.
My coach has decided that the programmed weight is too light, so it will be increased by 5%.
RIP my nice lovely bench volume day :(
19
I'm making gains, woe is me.
24
We kinda still don't know where my bench 1RM is, so we are programming off a meet PR instead. The new volume work will be at 87.5% of this.
9
Just post fake videos of you failing weights.
13
He knows. He knows.
I fail enough close-grip work to not have to do this.
11
Well I'm sure there's a bright side somewhere. I just don't know what it is.
9
The bright side is I get to have massive boobs.
12
First time doing snatch grip deadlifts today, hopefully they will help my shitty deadlift.
Also, 4th day of benching this week, love this new program!
18
[deleted]
14
QUIT YOUR EVANGELICALISM, WEIRDO.
15
Yikes I don't even know if my arms are that long
9
I need to try that, but the weights will be dictated by the grip strength right?
7
Yea kinda, if you have plates with handles in them like this it's pretty easy on the grip
But with normal plates like mine, your fingers and forearms will definitely feel it
8
We only have eleiko plates and bumpers so I figure that it'll be pretty hard haha.
8
I love the feeling you get in your upper back from those.
12
do these from a deficit and you can actually hear your upper back cry.
10
I might do that, mostly doing them for the legs though as the hip position is lower.
8
Ouch.
8
YUS.
7
I have many feels. Waiting for my blood work to come back feels, accidentally (it's a long story) won a 15k research grant feels, bathroom renovation is going to be more expensive than we thought feels, feel like I might be coming down with a cold but really really don't want to miss the gym tonight feels
I think kitty cat can sense this and is parked in my lap purring while I peck out this message (one hand is trapped)
18
easy, just use the research grant to renovate your bathroom, I just fixed like half your problems!
14
This is best plan!! Fraud schmaud
8
oh no its totally legit, how can do research if you have no where to shit?
11
Or if you can't properly vent poop smells. I am excited about that part. I love my husband but his poop is stinky
11
I think my pain sort of peaked last night. I really hope that means things get better from here, but it also means I didn't get the most sleep.
17
Hoping you're on the up and up :)
11
Due to rapid changes in weather I have some kind of throat infection due to all the mucus rapidly draining while I sleep. I can't wait to move once I'm done with school in 3 years. :(
My birfday is today and I might post another creative picture tonight but it will be even messier and involve more food products.
17
Happy buttday!
12
Happy birthday
10
Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

i slept 16 hrs after staying awake for like 40 hrs ama
17
How much caffeine did you consume and on what schedule?
7
All of it all the time
10
Did you take any showers during the 40 hours?
8
i showered 4 times because i was bored
8
[deleted]
15
Have you tried eating more?
13
u/SLDeviant pls respond.
13
[deleted]
7
This is what I do. I'm 3kg down this year, over an inch off my waist, and lifting heavier/more. I will genuinely commit to a cut on my rest days soon. I just couldn't eat any less of lifting days.
7
Being on a business trip and lifting at a sick gym has proven to be pretty awesome! Had an amazing bench day last night, which is something you never hear me say.
However, I have knee AIDS and I hope it doesn't stop me from squatting today.

6
My dog is at the vet for some weird vertigo thing, he may never walk again. I hope he's okay
15
:( be safe pupper
10
Apparently a stroke is a low possibility, to there's a good chance he'll recover a bit
7
Nooooo puppyyyy. Hope he feels better
8
Apparently it's unlikely to be a stroke, which he would not be able to recover from, so that's good news
7
Poor guy. :/ Spoil him extra hard when he gets home.
6
I will
5
Dogs are resilient. He's gonna walk it off like it was no big deal.
5
Thanks
4
THEN HE WILL FLY! BUILD HIM WIIIIINGS!
5
Fuck the ground. Literally. And figuratively. And other ways
6
YIKES I hope he's OK too!
4
I have lots of feels, but I'm keeping them to myself and posting this instead
15
thank you for this
13
[deleted]
13
The right thing to do
9
Works for me since 1989.
9
Beautiful.
7
when u die of heart complications while sitting on the toilet in ur mid fifties when no one is around
6
Was that an Elvis reference?
5
was thinking of bill burr on how to be a man
5
Cats are a perfectly adequate substitution for feels
10
yeah if you ever have a feel just get more cats, foolproof solution
12
[deleted]
15
:-/ sorry to hear that, that's a hard situation. It took us a really long time to get engaged because he definitely wanted kids and I wasn't sure what I wanted and I was scared I would do it just for him and resent him/them. I don't have any advice, just sympathy feels
11
[deleted]
7
nah it's not your fault or anything to feel terrible about (not that that makes you feel less terrible anyway). People grow and change and all that. it would be terrible if you changed your mind and then expected her to just do what you want, and resented her. But you didn't, you were honest and talked about it and stuff. And it really sucks that one big thing can fuck it up, but it is a big thing.
9
it's quite possibly the biggest thing.
12
It's a thing that happens in life, you experience things and think about things and grow and change and stuff. It's awful that in this case it may be causing a breakup.
It's really really good that you're being honest about it. Does it necessarily have to be the end of the relationship though, like right now? Did you already spend a little time mulling over whether you think your and/or her feelings might shift still?
6
[deleted]
6
Confirmed coming to an end? Sorry to hear :( The kids situation is tricky, and I hope you guys have talked it through enough to know what the right decision is.

One thing that helped me was realizing even though I still don't really like kids, I want a family in the long-run and they're only young temporarily. It's like training: I don't like front squats but I want a bigger back squat.
I'm not saying this is a tool to "convince" her or anything, but something to talk about because for me at least when I thought about whether I wanted kids I was way too fixated on the birth+5 years or so part of it. But I like being part of a family and I wanna keep that up even after mine is dead.
caveat: I haven't had kids yet and I could be horrible and dumb.
8
caveat: I haven't had kids yet and I could be horrible and dumb.
Nah, definitely not horrible or dumb :)
That was an interesting perspective, it's cool that you know that really only a certain phase freaks you out and that you've thought it through that that phase won't last forever.
8
suddenly I don't want to waste any more of our time if we can't both be 100% certain about this.I think I want to have kids some day
Some of this could be biology. If you're in a good place and feel safe and comfortable, your body could be telling you it's time to reproduce. You hear this a lot with women and their hormones but less with men. If this feeling is sudden, it might not last or it might mellow.
which I don't want her to do just for me
Which is nice and why I asked if you guys have talked it out. A month is a drop compared to spending years and years together. She might be thinking about the possibility for you but she's not knocked up yet, two dirty kids under her arms and nagging you from the porch about how you ruined her life, right?
I don't want kids, but past relationships have taught me that there are things worth compromising on. Kids are a huge fucking deal, and I still don't want them, but if there were someone or some thing to make that compromise worth even considering, that changes the game a bit. Talk about the future with and without them, if you change your minds or don't. What's your backup plan? How do you avoid resentment if you stay together but remain on different pages?
I don't want to waste any more of our time if we can't both be 100% certain about this
Ahh, but if you think being together while you figure this stuff out is a waste of your time, what does that say?

5
I always want kids. I HAVE SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE, AND SO MANY LOOMS THAT NEED TINY LABORERS.
5
Wow that's a tough one :'(
7
Someone appears to have turned up the gravity this morning. Send help
14
Do deficit deadlifts to get further away from Earth's core where gravity will be weaker
11
FALSE I tried them today and they were fucking horrible
7
I should mention it was fucking horrible... but I fucking loved it and would totally hit that again <3
6
Sick DBZ gains tho.
10
It's Bagel Friday! Food time.
I've spent the last week switching between feeling perfectly fine and incredibly bloated and shitting my brains out. This is fun.
13
I feel good. Life is good. Next time I take an extended break from the gym, remind me what it does for my mental health and then slap me.
Also, finally got the guts to post my snap in that snap thread. That's been fun.
12
I recently realized that no matter what goals I have like a certain total or getting to nationals, ultimately lifting is about mental health for me
6
yup. I may not compete in powerlifting forever, but I will always, always lift. It just makes me better at life.
11
> 2016
> Not competing in powerlifting forever
4
I mean I intend to win IPF World's Masters IV in 2059, but I'll probably need to take a break somewhere along the way to get knocked up or something.
edit: just kidding I'll probably compete pregnant.
9
Same
6
Agreed. It's something my mind and body need to find stability.
6
Really? So actual people (as in, besides me) noticed it? Sweet! You gon get so many butts!
6
Mostly you and one other guy, but still fun!
5
Woooo! Don't worry more pots will probably trickle in
7
jiff you snapchat me more than any of my irl friends <3
3
Noticed my first, second, and even third unmistakably grey chest hairs this morning. I'm not sure who I am anymore
11
An olds?
10
feels intensifies. must move through denial phase and onto acceptance.
9
'sok fam, my chest hairs are almost salt and pepper now.
7
And you said you weren't good looking! WTF don't you even know what chicks dig
4
At least now the other gorillas will respect you
9
I've decided the grey hairs appearing in my beard make me appear dignified
8
agreed. But we won't talk about the hairs that my ears are starting to grow.
6
You mean the little Asimovs? I definitely have no idea what you're talking about
5
my dad has these grey eyebrow hairs that are so long they stick out from behind his giant glasses. something to look forward to.
8
You think that until they multiply enough so that you just look ooooooold.
Trust me I'm an expert.
