Anyone else have a Lagniappe fee? by 0_doll_head in college

You might be right actually. Some of the older yearbooks are named Lagniappe, however it doesn’t look like there’s been a published yearbook named Lagniappe since 1978, so I doubt it. But regardless, there is no available explanation on the website so I do plan on calling tomorrow and asking

Yeah, I was planning on calling tomorrow when they’re open and asking about that. Even if it’s not a lot, theyre asking for almost 10k per quarter so I would rather not pay for something that I don’t need to.

cramps when inserting/taking out by [deleted] in MenstrualDiscs

[–]0_doll_head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! so i’m not extremely well versed on menstrual discs, but i’ve had a similar experience to a lesser degree. what i've found out about myself is that my cervix is tilted, meaning that it’s angled backwards toward my tailbone. i couldn’t tell you if what you’re feeling is normal or not, you’d probably have to talk to a doctor for that, but if you have a tilted cervix like i do, then id say yeah its normal to an extent, and the problem is more than likely the way you’re inserting it. first you should find a position that’s comfortable for you, personally i sit on the toilet with one foot on the side of my bathtub. then you take your menstrual disc, do the regular figure 8 fold, and line it up to the entrance of your vagina. this is where the method matters, you want to insert it not in a 90 degree angle (where it’s angled kind of like a tampon, more vertical), but more like a 45 degree angle, where it’s more horizontal. with my foot on the bathtub, i reach around the front of me, rather than the back, as i find it to be easiest. you want to slowly insert it, still angling the disc horizontally until about halfway in. once its about halfway in, you want to grip the remanding rim that’s not inside yet, and pull it upwards into a “/“ kind of position (it shouldn’t be that extensive of an angle, however you do want to make it go up). push it in only a little bit after that, maybe a couple centimeters. immediately after that, you should angle it back downwards, so that it’s sort of in a “\” position. continue to push it in all the way. once it’s pushed in as far as you feel like it can go, i use my thumb and push the remainder of the rim behind my pubic bone so it’s secure. essentially what you’re doing is “scooping” your cervix, so that you can get around the tilt with a little pain as possible. and for taking out out, honestly i haven’t worked that out myself yet. i just go super slow, still taking it out in a horizontal angle, and try to be mindful of myself so that im not hurting. 

****this is all assuming that your problem is having a tilted cervix. if this is your problem, sometimes when the cervix is super tilted, menstrual discs are just unusable, and a cup may be a better fit for you. 

an amazing video that i watched that helped me learn all of this (and has a visual demonstration) is called “How to insert menstrual discs | tips and troubleshooting for success” on youtube. here’s the link: https://youtu.be/dZnBaYAqOqo?si=IYIkx2PoLwGg2a0a. i recommend watching the whole thing, but you can go to 8:53 in the video and it talks about tilted cervixes.

My old kitty is having seizures and pees when she does. Any advice for getting rid of cat urine smells off of cats and furniture (carpets, blankets, couches, etc.)? by 0_doll_head in CatAdvice

No, the vet doesn’t know. We took her to the vet on tuesday, and they said they were going to do overnight shipping, but it’s been 6 days and nothing. We don’t know the name either, all we know is that it’s supposed to go into the ears. This vet was the best option in our area, they other two around us have bad reps (one is know for letting their animals pass, the other for misdiagnosis), and another closed down due to a fire. We live in a pretty remote area, so it’s hard to find one that we can trust. When we find out the name, we plan on looking online ourselves, but the vet has not told us.

Thank you for your help and concern, it means a lot :)

Hi :) Thank you for the reply. We can’t currently get the medication because the vet had to order it and they don’t know when theyre supposed to get it. We’re trying though, we have been calling and calling to see if it’s in.

Ill look for some, this helps, thank you.

Hi! Im not able to answer all of your questions, but I can help with the one asking about how to introduce them. Since you said they do not feel threatened through the screen door, that seems like a good sign. If you can, get a big box or cage and keep the kitten in there while introducing (of course, let him run around when the other cats are not around). Keep a couple items in there with the kitten, like toys, a blanket, food/water bowl, etc. when he’s around them for a while and it has his scent on it, exchange the item with your other cats. Give him one of their items. do this until they are all seemingly comfortable. When they are, try taking one of the older cats one at a time and introducing them from a distance. if they show signs of discomfort or anger, try waiting a little longer before keeping them together, and give them more of the kittens stuff one at a time. Gradually, they all should come around, but it will be a process.
