another question for cat owners, can pet dander buildup cause cats to wheeze?

 

Doctissimo.fr says yes. If that' s what causing it you should comb her more often, there' s also special food to address that. That' s not the only possible cause though, if she' s having trouble gulping it means something' s stuck in her throat and that qualifies as vet emergency.

 

the reason i ask is because my allergies started to go berserk back in march even though we've had her since december. my theory is that this is due to pet dander buildup in the room she sleeps in, my room. i was trying to sleep and she was next to me and i noticed there was something that sounded like a wheeze or a whistle and after doing just a little bit of internet search i remember seeing something vaguely like pet dander ca. affect pets too, so i was curious. im also curious how a ceiling fan affects pet dander in a room because mine stopped working around the time my allergies got bad. regardless of the reason im going to heavy duty clean the **** out of my room and hope that helps. cant do much about the fan now. it didnt occur to me that there could be something in her throat. definitely going to pay attention to see if she shows signs of that.

 

So, Civil War is no award winner but it' s probably their best story so far. RdJ really sells it.
I liked this younger Spidey.

 

That's glorious.

 

my favorite thing in the video is his somber deep in thought expression

 

Already out where you live I'm assuming?

 

This is from February 1, 2015, but it still continues to send a strong message.

What an emotional video here. Personally, it didn't emotionally hit me too hard, but that's because it's not something I dealt with myself. Does that mean it makes it less sad or that I don't care? Of course not. My heart was full of compassion for them--or more specifically, Austin, the guy who had to deal with it, but it takes a lot to make me tear up in general. Ironically, seeing sad things like Riley in Girl Meets World being bullied or other things like the video below will make me tear up more than things that actually happen in my life.

Here is the video in question:

Just a warning that if you get emotional easily, you may want tissues nearby.

A lot of comments show nothing but support; however, there are unfortunately a lot hateful or mean comments. The guy's boyfriend was comforting him throughout the whole video--what an awesome boyfriend!--by basically rubbing his body all over (chest, thighs, etc.) and giving him small pecks on the cheek. Unfortunately, many people have gone and said that that was sexual and distracting from the main point of the video, and that they would feel the same if it were a straight couple, though I highly doubt that's the 100% truth for everyone. Typically speaking, yes, touching like that is usually--keyword: usually--sexual, regardless of the genders, but in a case like this, it's not. It's for comfort. The thing is, regardless of the genders and sexualities involved, touch in general is just a very common technique used to calm someone down who's going through a rough time. If comforting someone has to get physical in order to make some impact, then that's what has to happen.

Not for this video or couple in particular, but with any video or couple of similar nature, I suppose I could see an argument being made if the genitals and buttocks were being touched. But hey, even then it could necessarily not be sexual and be just for comfort. Anything is certainly possible these days.

I think this user's comment says it best:

 

Yeah, sorry to steal your thunder every time. In a way it' s a bit annoying, because I often want to talk about the movie here but I don' t want to spoil anyone either. I didn' t even know when it would be released exactly, I looked it up Tuesday. And noticed X-Men had a final trailer and would follow in a month.

 

it's been weeks and i'm just now running into the issue where i run out of munny for medal evolving in Unchained

Munny Medal missions where are you when i need you???

 

It's totally fine, makes up a kind of balance since the US gets plenty of games earlier anyway.

 

here's what storm 4 online is like
lose (frequent): "im just so bad at this and ill never be good"
win (so so rare): "im so sorry for demolishing you. please dont feel bad"

ive played maybe one or two games out of a lot that felt like good matches. every single other one is either me being absolutely hopeless or someone else being absolutely hopeless. theres almost no middle ground.

 

Anyone have ideas for what places to check for DVD/BD commentary of anime or TV shows in general? My usual venues have turned up nothing for Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.

 

this is just storm's gameplay in general tbh. it was the same way when Storm 2's online was still popular, and even in local multiplayer it just always ends up that way

 

Did you check Amazon?

 

I meant to say, somewhere to stream or download said commentary episodes.

I have the Blu-Rays for all of Brotherhood, but I'd like to watch them with people who don't have said media and can't come over.

 

I'm pretty sure that if you have a premium Funimation membership, you get to see the episode commentaries. That being said, Funimation let go of the rights to Brotherhood, so even if you wanted to go down that avenue, you're kinda SOL.

 

Yeah, that's why I'm attempting other methods. This is unfortunate; I love hearing the voice actors talk out of character about the series. They really enjoy it from the sounds of the first episode.
