What are some of the best shelters to adopt an adult cat? (NYC if that matters) & how was the adoption process ? Last time I had a pet, it was my childhood bestie so this would be my first time going through the adoption process. Any tips, feedback or any firsthand stories would be extremely appreciated

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.

Thoughts on having a baby 👶🏾 with a surrogate in West Africa or the Caribbean ? Also looking towards Mexico.

We are updating our maternity leave policy. Can you please share how your company/firms pay your employees for their leave?

In case anyone would like to spare themselves a heart attack stroke and possibly spreading Covid to a large group of people as you run around screaming for help. If you child goes missing and doesn’t respond to you calling her name despite screaming it at the top of your lungs 50 times check under the blankets her room. She could be a very sound sleeper and entirely huddled under the blanket on the floor. Also don’t trust your 12 year old to check under the blanket either before calling 911.

I know it’s a couple of weeks but my husband and I are hosting my mom for Christmas and I’ll be 25 weeks.

What are some pregnancy safe holiday meals?

I work for a CPA firm, 45-50 employees, and we're looking at expanding our benefits package. Right now, we only offer 2 or 3 weeks vacation, 1 week paid sick time, healthcare, 401(k) with profit sharing, and Life/Long-term disability coverage. No dental, no parental leave, no ST disability, no EAP etc.

Could anyone else in this industry, or in another professional services industry, weigh in on what benefits you offer and which ones are most popular?

Thanks all!!

Someone please tell me that I can get a rear facing child seat in the back of a mustang… otherwise it looks like I’ll have to buy a new family car to drive the little one around (wife doesn’t drive unfortunately).

Could be a good excuse to get a Taycan but was hoping I could just stick with my mustang. We said next car will be an EV didn’t think it would be so soon though!

Real estate advice please! I bought a $400K house in a HCOL area (DMV) in April 2021 at 3.125% interest rate. Unexpectedly, I need to move to a LCOL area (small city in Pennsylvania) this summer 2023. I don’t have enough for a 20% down payment on next home… do I:
-Sell HCOL home and buy LCOL home with high interest rate
-Rent HCOL home and buy LCOL home with high interest rate and PMI (since <20% down payment)
-Rent HCOL home and rent in LCOL for a year or more before reassigning/buying

How on earth do I get my cat to stop licking blankets?! She is about 15 months and if I leave a blanket out she will totally lick it up! It ruins the blanket by making it all crust, but more importantly I am concerned with her ingesting lose fibers while she is licking. It drives me insane!
