Our vet charges you 3x the regular price, and the only pet store is 60 miles away. We just had to do it as best as we could.
There was an instance where one kitten ripped it's leg open on a barbed wire fence, we stitched it and gave it ointment, and it healed itself.

I'm no expert but I believe goats milk is good for cats...?

Update on kitten:
Visited all vet-farmacies I was aware of in the area, finally managed to get some kitten powder milk (when asked for cat milk only one farmacy had this and said it's powder, hopefully this is what I'm supposed to take) and also bought her some shampoo and flea powder. Counted 43 fleas in the tub so far. She doesn't seem to enjoy baths, but after that I took her outside and she took a nap in the sun.

However, earlier this day I noticed one of my neighbour's daughters (has ♥♥♥♥ of kids, all girls) sneak into my yard. A few hours later noticed the cat was meowing and she wasn't in my yard. Found her in the neighbours yard all wet and scared. Apparently the girls tought the cat may enjoy some water-hose fun -.-

Keep her inside. It's obvious you can't trust your neighbors to respect her, especially considering she's so small. They could have seriously injured her.

As usual, I don't notice the important topics until weeks later.

My days over the summer have gone decently well I'd say. College for me starts the 21st, and I've gone into this kind of mindset where I want to play as many video games and be as lazy as possible, because once the next phase of my life starts, that's when adulthood really begins for me. I've either read through or skimmed every post in this topic and it's interesting to see the similarities between some of us.

I think I'm in a similar situation that Blab faced with his transition to college. As an introvert I still want to be social, and I hope that I can find some other hobbies to keep me more active, or at least learn to better balance a social life with my alone time. I think college will be a good time for me; I just need to get used to being in a new environment besides my hometown. Sometimes I worry that I'm the kind of person that will be forgotten by everyone, except their family. I want to know that I have friends that care about me (thanks for making this topic Brando). I know that subconsciously I have these insecurities. If I try messaging someone and I don't get a response back, I get paranoid that they're just trying to ignore me or that they don't care about what I have to say. I don't want to be the guy who constantly seeks attention, and I know I shouldn't have to try to validate my life by making sure I have tons of friends...but people who are willing to listen are nice. Also what OJ had to say rings true: lordpat is a great guy and whenever I see him on chat he's always said hi. That's literally all it takes for me to feel good for a while. Thanks, lordpat, and to the others who always say hi.

Other random stuff I've been doing...I've been working on my Paper Mario 64 level series (which I'll probably call Paper Mario 63 just so the name is less of a rip-off) by trying to make every level look nicer and by actually finishing the few levels I have yet to do. I think that this'll give me some sense of finality, and it helps me see the changes between me as a level designer 5 years ago and me now. Oh yeah, and I've been doing some Dance Dance Revolution every day to get more active. It's better than doing nothing other than watching youtube all day. :)

Today went as usual. Stayed in my world, skipped eating for the day, and shut myself off to music again. I snapchatted with a few online friends and worked on some projects of mine, but overall I just stayed off the radar.

And I smiled.

I hate to say this but everyday I always have bad day all because of my mom and dad arguing. My sisters and me are all scared. My sister said,"I'm scared mom and dad might grab their knives and kill each other just like the news before." Mom and Dad finally got back but they argued again. I always had a feeling they would argue again.
Setun's situation is similar to me but my Mom and Dad haven't killed each other yet.

I would need a more concrete discreption to see if this extreme fear is just exaggerated or if there is indeed violence in the case. Anyways, this is a sad situation, as I can tell from my own experience.

What often happens is that kids feel that there is an interconnection between the arguings themselves and the tasks they mean for their parents, such as gaining money, education etc., or that they just feel like they have the guilt for the disharmonies. Trust me, in most cases the reasons for arguings lie by no means on your side. They still love you, even though they don't love themselves anymore. At an age of 10, you may be too young to fully understand what's going on and why it's going on, yet you can try to take some initiative. Listen more carefully to it, and ask them what's going on, because you have a ♥♥♥♥ right to know it since it also effects your mental condition. You can ask them to cool down. Is it just bagatelles, or something really serious? Maybe it's just your presence that can remind your parents about that they have you and your sibling(s) to hold themselves onto.

If the situation escalates, the same thing applies, but in practice things can sadly be else ... If it's just short things and they quickly cool down by themselves, there isn't really much to worry about (tartars and such). But if they constantly keep arguing for a longer time without getting forward in any way, and if it's a really severe case, look for yourself in the first case. If it's getting so far that you really feel the need to avoid their absence, try to contact third parties. There are indeed organizations who can give you help if your parents are violent against each other, or would have an addiction issue etc. Or try out what happens if you really approach them in a calm moment, saying that you dread them in these escalation moments. If they're also violent against you education-wise, don't tolerate this any longer, appeal the youth welfare office if it goes to far.

If it's really evident that their relation comes to an end (or has already), it's somewhat important for them to break up in peace and to put back any ♥♥♥♥ drives or negative emotions that can lead to a "rose war", for their sake of course and especially for yours. A lot of it comes from emotions. I know that divorce is a hard fate for any kid in your age, but believe me, you're not alone with this and life goes on. I've cried a lot when my dad moved out for the first night to sleep in his new home. But just one day later I've already looked ahead. Even if the parent you keep living together with is also psychically wrecked by the divorce - a strong unit is better in the long term than this ♥♥♥♥ flaring up over and over.

Also check out this topic whenever you're really upset or desparate. It makes wonders.

Thank you, FF.

Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

Worldsixthocean feels so depress on his trip in Japan with his parents now.

When we just get arrived at the airport it's just 2:00 am and the first train to Toba is 5:45 am so we have to to sleep at airport. It was tough though, but i think thing will getting better when we arrived Toba.

No it wasn't.

When we arrived Toba we found that it was a nearly 100% abandoned place and there is no any good Attractions for us to go. An attraction called "dolphin island" was just so old and and rust everywhere. Other tourists in the dolphin island seems not so happy too. And the hotel we live in is very dirty and my mom complain it all day.

And it was just the first day. Things are getting worse.

Second day. We planned to go to Ise Geku for a few hours and then we will WALK to the Ise Niku and dad don't know the distance between them is 3.8km, I suggested to go by train but my dad Adhere to go on foot. So we to there walk from 3pm to 6pm. That place was closed at that time. So we just hardly walk 3 hours FOR NOTHING. But I think things will getting better when we arrived Nagoya on the third day.

No it wasn't.

Today, when we arrived to the another hotel, we found that there's only 2ppl bed for us to sleep and we have 3 ppl and the whole room is very small(smaller than 200ft I think?) I never grumble be4 but i just cant stand it and start to arguing. And my mom said "Y don't you plan yourself?" I want to say, yes you DID give me chance to plan but you DIDNT tell me how to plan, you just told me plan plan plan plan plan but how? You are just like letting a baby who don't know anything about math to calculate 1+1. When i talking that point to my mum she just tell me to shut up. She dont have any more point to refute me so she do this. I feel so unfair.

And my trip last 14 days. 11 days to go. I don't really sure can i even get though.

EDIT:The word i underlined are places. You don't really need to care what it is. And sorry for any bad english.
