The first thing I discovered on waking up this morning was that most recently acquired cat died outside, in the road 

Farewell, Luke. You were sweet tempered and had funny habits, and played fetch. No cat I've met enjoyed anything that crinkled or rustled as much as you. Or jam, or grapes, or red straws

Oh no, that's awful.
Sorry for your loss. Sounds like an adorable fella. I imagine kitty heaven is filled with crinkly and chaseable objects.

I live in fear that one of my mother's cats is going to wind up being hit by a car one of these days, since in the past he's made a habit of crossing the multi-lane road nearby. Don't know how he manages to do it, or how many of his nine lives he has left. Apparently the other outside cat has been spotted at least once on the other side, too. For a while I wishfully believed that he was traversing the road via storm drain or something, but then one night I'm pretty sure I saw him sprinting across the road in the distance. Scary.

Just 'cause I'm an alcoholic doesn't mean I have a supply of high proof, cleaning-grade liquor on hand.
I doubt pouring this cheap swill I'm drinking into the sea of pus that is my knee would help matters much... 

Oh shit, sorry didn't mean it that way.  It was just curiosity as to whether alcohol was actually effective as a disinfectant.

Would applying lemon juice help?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Good god Bork, just because something stings doesn't mean it's a valid disinfectant.

N-no, do not put lemon juice in wounds.

Thanks
It's just hard to believe he's gone, we only had him about a year but he made such a big impression on us. We couldn't really stop him from getting out since the dog keeps opening the door but I hadn't worried too much since he never seemed to leave the yard.

I very much hope this never happens to the cats you know. It pains me greatly to think of how he died alone outside, wounded. When we had our first kitty death in the family, it happened in my arms, and though it broke my heart, it's at least comforting to know I was there for him in the end. But this time...

Use whichever school services are at hand that are for helping students with their concerns--please do not judge yourself as 'not good enough' especially given the early age in life; how you judge yourself in this time is something that you'll carry on into the future. Just because low self-esteem presents an unideal picture of your own skills and capabilities, it doesn't define them however. :O You're worth a lot more than the meager credit you may give yourself in your low times. Just because performance is a bit down these days, doesn't mean you will never be good enough.

Cheers to you, tech :3 It's nice to hear from you again--despite this being in a sad thread post.

I did not suggest using it as a disinfectant. And why did you think I thought pain=medical value anyway?

...I sorta believed that, about the stinging...
Though I've never tried that, and lemons rot so it can't be true of course.  I guess the acid isn't enough to sterilize.  That would probably be way too much acid to eat

There's different levels of sterilization, though. You might be able to kill off most of the nastier pathogens with the low pH, or at least inhibit their growth. They're a picky lot, pathogens. Can't even survive a few seconds of 70 degrees Celsius sometimes.

my mother's dog died of cancer too and it sucks:( were here for you *hugs* but take a break if you need too. I'm doing the same thing here too, so don't feel down about requesting a break. And yes school services have helped me in the past and I highly recommend going to see them especially with a parent (if at all possible) sometimes people need a break and I can empathize because I'm in the same position

Speaking of which, what made me sad today is that I feel too far behind in my school and I'm only 19 but I beat myself up over not having done it and having messed up my life by doing stupid things but I'm on a path to recovery it just takes time and like my mother said it's baby steps and there's nothing wrong with that but I myself feel inadequate about my own self due to those things among others.

Fuck em. They're just trying to fulfill their vicarious regrets in you without actually doing anything, and getting upset that you aren't the superstar doctor opera singer lawyer who graduated sumo come with me and read graduation speeches about dictionary definitions that they wanted to be.

You're in high school. You don't have anything going on because you aren't supposed to have anything going on, aside from being in high school.
