I got an ad for a pregnancy crisis center on this website. Took a screen shot, but tapatalk won't let me upload. Who should I page about this?
Unfortunately at the current time we have no way to control the ads displayed on the forums- which is one of the reasons we're looking forward to upgrading to the paid version- we can approve and deny ads with the paid version.

Best suggestion- clear your browser history, cache, and cookies.
Thanks. I Googled and they're one of those adoption agencies that pretends to be a clinic. They must have fucked up, because I got the "unplanned pregnancy?" one instead of the "adopt a baby?" one.
My nana is 92 years old and has been in poor health over the past couple of years. She has fallen a lot and had major back surgery. She was finally on the path to recovery, but then her memory really started going. There have been a couple of times she has fallen recently and forgotten. On Saturday, two of my brothers and I spent about 4 hours with her at our mom's house. Our oldest brother, who would not visit her last weekend and hasn't been working because he supposedly has vertigo, went ice fishing instead of coming over to see her. After she left, she fell and broke her hip. She was rushed to the hospital and today is having surgery. Our oldest brother sent us all a text that we needed to visit her in the hospital before surgery because he googled general anesthesia for the elderly and it said she probably won't remember us after.
It is his MO to miss big family events, feel guilty afterwards, and then find a way to throw his guilt on others. I kind of flipped out on him last night because I spend tons of time with my nana and if something does happen, I don't want my final memories of her to be in a hospital bed in pain. These are the final memories that I have of my other grandmother before she passed and I hate that. He still doesn't get it and tried to tell me that I am being selfish.
Thoughts for your nana's quick recovery from surgery! And big hugs to you. I am sorry your brother isn't being the best support for you all!

My bitch is toward my mom.
She sent me a FB message this morning that said "Hey, call me- we need to chat". My husband and I lost our dog unexpectedly last week, so with a vague message like that I IMMEDIATELY assume one of her cats (my childhood cats) died and I call her from work freaking out.
Nope. She was just calling to tell me that my second cousin and her daughter are road-tripping at the end of march and will be in our hometown on 3/30 and that mom is hosting a dinner, and then proceeded to start talking about how the roads should be fine by then.

JFC woman. That could have waited.
I'm sorry about the loss of your dog. ((Hugs))
Thanks. It was super sudden and unexpected (as best we can tell it was a stroke) and he was only 7

(pet death in a movie mentioned - ETA: I feel horrible that my post ended up right after Naria's. I'm sorry!)
My bitch today is the movie John Wick. This can also serve as a "heads up" for anyone who loves dogs that plans to watch it.
MH and I watched it last night. And even though I actually ended up loving it, it's still my bitch today. Early in the movie, the main character's adorable puppy is killed. Not accidentally, but purposefully and in a violent/brutal manner. Obviously I know it's not real, but I wish they hadn't shown it. It was heartbreaking and I almost didn't finish watching the movie because of it. There were some tears, then had to give my own dog a hug. I'm glad I finished the movie, but I really didn't think showing the dogs death was necessary.
I put the same warning on FB last night, and someone replied telling me about this website "Does the Dog Die". Wish I knew about it before watching last night. I just had a bad feeling about the dog from the moment he was added to the movie and would have loved to been able to look away.
ETA: I hadn't read both pages of the thread before posting my bitch, so I didn't realize my post was going to end up right after yours. I just wanted to say I wasn't trying to be insensitive, and I'm sorry if it comes across that way at all based on how our posts ended up lining up. Sorry again about your pup.

Im so sorry about the loss of your dog. It's so hard to deal with, especially unexpectedly. Hugs!

My bitch: Cats and smoke detectors. The battery in one of our many smoke detectors went off at 3:30 this morning. It took us forever to find it, and it happened to be in one of the upstairs bedrooms. I had to get on the 8 foot ladder to get to it because H wasn't tall enough. I almost told him we were sleeping through it. Why do they always start chirping in the middle of the night?
Since we had all the lights on in the house trying to find the stupid alarm, the cats thought it was time to be up. Layla hunted and played for the next 3 hours or so. I just wanted to sleep. I love my cats and I love it when they play and realize that it is natural behavior, but I like my sleep.

Ugh, I am so sorry about your dog. And unexpectedly too is the worst.
Also, my mom does the same thing to me. So much so that I have taken to texting her back and asking if this is a "call me immediately" thing or a "it can wait until I get off work" thing. Usually it is the latter.

For two nights now my cats have decided that the time to play is quite literally as soon as we get into bed. They have been running around and being nuts. What is worst is that the kitten has taken to attacking the older cat and then they end up fighting, which is seriously annoying to me. They are friendly with each other all day and then decide they need to fight to the death once everyone goes to bed. Needless to say, the kitten got locked out of the bedroom last night.

My MIL does this to me ALL OF THE TIME. She'll text me out of the blue with "call me when you have a minute," or something semi-urgent sounding, so of course I'll drop everything to call her and she'll just want to gossip or ask me about something stupid (her favorite subject is my husband - so it will be like "has Husband found a dentist near you guys yet?!?!" or "did Husband get his prescription refilled?!?!?") - like, holy crap lady, send me a text. You know I'm working, and you know I don't have time in the middle of the day to just shoot the shit with you. Also, your son is a grown ass man, he'll figure it out.
My bitch this morning.. which sucked at the time but is also sort of a funny story.
I have my alarm set on my phone for 5am to take my temp. Somehow this morning in trying to turn it off/reaching for my BBT it got knocked off my mattress down and stuck between my headboard and the frame my mattress sits on. It didn't fall all the way through to the floor because there is another board sitting horizontally on the headboard (We built our bed frame/headboard/footboard so it is configured differently and I am not 100% how to describe it).
So basically my phone is stuck just out of reach and the alarm WILL NOT STOP GOING OFF! It took us like 20 minutes to get the stupid thing out using a screwdriver, needle nose pliers, and a skinny ruler thing. DH had an allen wrench at one point but then he also lost that to the bed, lol. The worst part is that my brother is sleeping (maybe not at this point) in the room right next to ours and I've got the phone set to read out the name of the alarm. So every few minutes it is saying "It is 0500, wake up and take your temp nuggetRN!!" He hasn't said anything so far but I've got to wonder what he was thinking if he did ear the commotion.
I haven't had running water since Saturday because of all the main breaks from the cold. Fuckity fuck. Although I live in WV where we had the do-not-use water crisis from a chemical leak last year, so I've become fairly adept at the watering can shower. But still - I feel gross today. And last night I went to an Oscar party charity function - nothing says classy like a sponge bath and then putting on a cocktail dress.
our pipes all froze at school today and so the school is shut down
my bitch is on behalf of the teachers who have over an hour commute. admin knew of the problem at 7:10 and didn't start calling people until 8:55. the teachers had to drive in and turn around, some kids got dropped off and we had to call everyone's parents. it was a bit of a mess.

My dad does this all the time to me. He will call and instead of saying Hi or hello, he immediately says my name. And I think "OMG what's wrong!" and it's usually a "hey I bought extra donuts, want some?"

I can usually handle them trying to kill each other when we first climb into bed, but this was one cat who sounded like two trying to kill each other. If we could actually lock them out of the bedroom and sleep, we would. One of our cats learned from MIL's cat to beat on the door until someone opens it (kind of like a dog signaling to go out) and does it for any door he wants to go through. For that matter, I probably would have slept through playtime if H hadn't woken me up for the stupid alarm.
Are you sure the kitten isn't trying to play? Play at our house sounds like they're trying to kill each other. My mom's cat had to put Muon in his place when he was a baby. After a few well-placed pops to the nose, he finally figured out that she was in charge. I would just throw the two out of the bedroom and let them fight it out.
Thanks. It was super sudden and unexpected (as best we can tell it was a stroke) and he was only 7
Oh, NariaDreaming,, I am so sorry We lost our pup unexpectedly, as well. She was only three. It really is like losing a family member. Keeping you all in my thoughts.
My lab. For the past two months he has inexplicably forgotten that he needs to sleep in until 6AM. He starts barking/crying around 4. Nothing has really changed... vet says he's fine (I wondered if maybe he had an infection or something that was making him feel icky). I could even handle that if he would go out do his business and go back to sleep. But he just barks and cries.
I have tried taking him out for his last walk a little later at night. I have tried restricting fluids after 8 PM (which I haven't had to do since he was a puppy). I have tried playing with him more. I've tried being obnoxious and trying to keep him from sleeping in the evening.
Tonight we're going to try the last thing my vet suggested, which is move his food time. We had originally moved his food time early based on her idea that maybe he wouldn't be hyper because he ate earlier. Her other suggestion was we feed him at 8 or 9 so that way after he gets his hyperness out, he'll sleep off his full belly. Hopefully through the night.
I love him to pieces, I just want him to stop waking us up. Or figure out what's up with him.

Probably using that term a little too loosely, they just sound like it sometimes. The kitten is definitely playing but the older cat wants nothing to do with her playing sometimes. He's really the only noisy one. There are times during the day when they bat at each other and are just playing around, but sometimes I think the kitten takes it too far and our older cat just isn't having it. I think it gets worse when we go to bed because we aren't immediately there to put an end to it. She has gotten bopped on the nose for that a few times and she'll usually leave him be when we are right there. Snapping your fingers at the two of them will usually get her to stop from pouncing on him.
I am also trying to keep the aggression to a minimum at this moment because her incision is still healing from getting spayed. I don't really need them kicking each other in the stomach at the moment. It had started to dehisce and is now finally closing up properly.
She meowed at the door for maybe ten minutes and then took full advantage of her free roam of the house and all the cats toys. We found her asleep on the dog bed this morning. So I don't think she suffered too much, lol. Right now they are sitting on top of the couch together in a sunny spot and she is playing with his tail, friendly as can be.
I think some people need to be taught some throat clearing etiquette.
I get that we all have colds and the weather sucks, etc... but if you are clearing your throat louder than the presenter and at a frequency of greater than once a minute, you are disruptive to everyone in that room trying to listen. I'm sorry, but it's the truth.
My bitch today is MH. He always wants to buy crap and spend his money on crap he doesn't need but come end of the paycheck he wants to know where all of his money went. It's not that hard dude, you buy shit, your money disappears. He also doesn't get that just because he's only buying small things here and there that those add up and still drain his account. UGH. Quit being dumb!
MH woke up at 1am to throw up. He's rarely sick, but he was up on and off all night to puke. MH is such a loud puker that I'm sure everyone in a 3 block radius heard him.
When he came back to bed, he would whimper everytime he moved. Then he'd apologize. Then he'd turn over and whimper some more. Then more apologies. STOP TALKING TO ME WHILE I'M TRYING TO SLEEP. So needless to say, I got zero sleep last night and I'm dead tired. I'm not mad that he's sick, it happens. I just wish I could have gotten some sleep.
