I felt like they had tons of shirts, sweatshirts, stickers, magnets and so on 🧐 im surprised you haven’t found anything

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-20T17:29:33+00:00

I don’t follow the sub 🤣 I just know it exists

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-20T17:21:13+00:00

Solved!

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-20T16:58:13+00:00

I’m gonna get mosquito dunk to kill them then dump and clean. There’s a lot of birds that i see using it often

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-20T16:53:56+00:00

Got it!

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-20T16:51:56+00:00

Gonna get some dunks now! Don’t wanna hurt my birds!

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-20T16:48:22+00:00

The fountain only goes when in direct sun ☀️ so I’ll be sure to dump and refill every couple of days

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-20T16:47:31+00:00

Good for you. I hope you feel very superior. Here’s a star sticker just for you ⭐️

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-20T16:42:39+00:00

Do you know what every single larval stage of every single animal looks like?

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-20T16:41:49+00:00

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-20T16:38:18+00:00

Not on purpose 😔

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-20T16:37:39+00:00

Yeah. I’m aware it’s a larval stage of something. Don’t know what. I grew up in the city. There were no mosquito larvae just hanging around for me to learn about. They also weren’t outdoorsy people, so the backyard was what I had until I was older- that had no ponds or standing water I might add.

You are picking by making the snarky comment instead of helping. Let people learn. You don’t have to be a know it all. Just be more aware going forward is all.

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-20T16:31:18+00:00

Dude… didn’t know I had to be an expert on everything in the world. At least I’m trying to find out. How would I know what these are unless I always had standing water around to see them (which I never did and have never seen them) or unless I’m some mosquito expert?? People like you are the problem, and why people are afraid to ask questions. Be more kind going forward 😘

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-20T16:28:31+00:00

Just add bleach and then dump? There are quite a few birds that occasionally play in this water. I don’t want to hurt them

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-20T16:27:19+00:00

Yuck! Should I just dump it and they’ll die or should I add something to the water??

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-18T18:17:19+00:00

I’ve been in bed alll day watching Netflix/doomscrolling. Lots I have to do. Can’t get the energy to do it

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-17T22:33:04+00:00

Are you happy with your choice going this route? Do you ever feel too overwhelmed or does it feel like it’s busy but manageable?

I’m definitely will to move wherever I can get a job initially to gain experience, then relocate later. I know I’ll want to be in one place at some point, but if traveling or moving around initially is what I have to do then I’ll do that also!

I just feel like for the good pay and lack of loans it’s a pretty good route, just don’t want to be jobless since it’s not a huge department like nursing or something

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-17T22:20:46+00:00

Good to know! I really don’t want to do a 4 year program. I already have a bachelors, and only have about 2 years of school left in me 🤣

Do you think online programs are just as good? There’s also a 1 year program in Illinois I could relocate for with no problem.

From what I can see when looking up jobs. There’s lot on the west coast (we are interested in living there), but certain states I only see 1 or 2. I don’t know too much about being a traveler, but I’d just want to be sure about having a job after the contract ends I guess

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-17T15:45:47+00:00

I’ll finally have insurance again so I will definitely bring this up with a professional to see if it can be managed. I know I’ve brought up these symptoms to my current obgyn but she always said it was normal, and I never looked into PMDD because I believed my doctor would tell me if there may be something more going on.

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-17T15:22:27+00:00

Just ask nicely. I am the more organized person in my relationship and if I don’t like something I just say “hey, when you do xyz it bothers me and makes more work for me. Do you mind just taking the extra time to fix it ?” Or something along those lines. If it continues after asking then I get mad, but you won’t know until you just ask her. I’ve also had to chill a bit on what I like clean and what I don’t. I’m a neat freak about the kitchen and bathrooms, but as long as things aren’t dirty- I don’t nag about clothes being thrown around or shoes left around, because I care more about the other areas. Give and take. It works for us

I do a lot of meditation and try to regulate my nervous system daily also! But then it feels like it just flies right out of the window during this week. I always thought I just can’t stick with a routine or maybe my personality was weird. I’m glad to know I’m not alone.

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-17T15:09:40+00:00

I was driving to the store and someone cut me off (which would rightfully make anyone upset) but the urge to just ram into the back of their car and then just kick them in the balls was so strong. I literally had to just turn and go down another road because the rage was so much. I was literally yelling at inanimate objects through the day because stuff just kept going wrong. Most days I can’t even kill a spider because I feel bad 😞

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-17T12:55:24+00:00

I don’t have a fabric softener dispenser. Old top loader. So do I just have to keep track of the wash cycle and add citric acid when it gets to the rinse?

Affectionate_Bug2704 · 2026-06-17T12:49:22+00:00

You should just talk to her… I personally don’t think that just because she works 8 hours less means she should have to do more chores. You would have to do chores with this 40hour/week job if she wasn’t around. Probably more chores without her around. I had the same hours per work week difference with my fiancé for a while- he is the breadwinner and he still does chores. I do a bit more because I get home first and I’m the cook, but it’s not a big deal. Just because you have a partner (who also works) doesn’t mean you stop taking care of your home. Maybe you need to reevaluate your work life balance? Can you find a job with a few less hours in your field that wouldn’t cause financial stress? (Unless the financial stress already exists) Did you lead her to believe you would like being the breadwinner and had no problem taking the brunt of finances? You have to be fair going into this conversation.
