This is basically what I do to my cat except the college fund is the treat fund.

My weakness is when the fart bubbles back up my butt :(

Well, this is the consequence of letting it outside unfortunately- on top of risk of injury and death but I’m sure y’all know that already. There’s not really an effective way to train them against this behaviour the way you might a dog.

So long as there’s critters outside the cat is going to hunt them. Maybe you could try to give the kitty a snag safe cat collar with a bell? It might alert the wildlife so they have time to avoid being caught.

Play with it more often and don’t let it outside, that’s really the only way.

Which one? I see many.

I live close to a few safe consumption sites so without seeing a study on this, this is just my observations.

There’s an increase of homeless people around (or perhaps they are more visible?) but since they have nowhere to go they get shifted around town by the police force every now and again. There seems to be a fair amount of violence amongst themselves as well, occasionally bleeding out into the general populace when we have big events nearby. I’ve also got friends from back in HS that went to these sites to “try” a variety of drugs they were curious about and now they’re full blown addicts that I don’t hear from anymore. Maybe they would have tried this stuff anyways but the whole draw for them was that it was “easy” and nobody would stop them.

Definitely aware of the YIMBY’s, I remember seeing their signs posted around before the sites went up, hence why the site got placed in my area despite not having the better infrastructure of the higher income neighbourhood nearby.

Not against safe consumption sites by any means it just feels like a bandaid on a festering wound situation. My neighbourhood safe consumption site hasn’t seemed to improve in the many years it’s been here- worsening conditions I’m chalking up to an increase in the general homeless population. The only time familiar faces seem to disappear is if they pass away.

That only works if you have a plan in place for these people’s futures like mental/physical healthcare, affordable housing, and stable careers.

I guess it is a stockpile from medication availability now that you say that… My ability to get it has always been uncertain since I started it.

Regarding getting different meds it’s not possible for me unfortunately. My family doctor writes my prescription and they’ve been clear that they can only continue what I’ve already been given previously without adjustments.

I sought out a psychiatrist as per their referral but all have stated they do not treat ADHD and won’t entertain the idea. The psychiatrists wont even treat my anxiety because I have ADHD, it’s a pretty immediate “get out of my office” reaction I’ve gotten when trying to get assistance…

I did at one point have the opportunity to try pretty much everything on the market and concluded that Adderall XR was the best simply because it’s the most affordable on low income.

I do remember Vyvanse feeling smoother but the cost was prohibitive…

There was also a blood pressure medication I can’t remember the name of that was tried as a non-stimulant but it caused distressing side effects so that was stopped.

Thanks dad, I’m stealing this one!

Thanks dad

Outstanding move
