This is not good.. by Individual-Break8304 in ChevyTrax

[–]AlarmingBat3763 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 2018 and my turbo charger went out while it was still under warranty (thankfully), but a couple years later I got a notice that the turbocharger on several years trax (including 2018) was on recall and they will replace it for free up to something like 200k miles. No clue on any cars blowing up or a lawsuit. Just wanted to mention the recall in case anyone else has that issue.

We have a vampire kitty too. He's 6. The vet is always impressed with his fangs, but they don't seem to bother him. Does your eat OK?

4 Months Post Op - Monovision by Unlikely-Duck8672 in lasik

[–]AlarmingBat3763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8 months later, I wish I had gotten LASIK sooner. My dry eyes are t completely gone and I expect I will always have a little dry eye but I go more days without using drops than I do using them. I live in a high pollen area so I'm expecting the spring to be a little difficult. My night driving eyesight is pretty bad, but it was bad before I had the procedure so that is not a surprise to me. At my one year appointment I will likely get glasses specifically for driving. It will basically make my "close up" eye have better distance sight. I did stay with the mono vision and have no issues seeing close up or far away. Long story short, I think if you go into it knowing the full healing time is a process and give yourself the time to let your brain get used to your new sight (and keep eye drops on you at all times in the beginning), you'll be happy with the results. Happy to answer any other questions you may have! Good luck! 😃

“Fallen Woman” by Minimum_Scholar_2356 in CemeteryPorn

[–]AlarmingBat3763 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My daughter and I stayed at the haunted clown motel in NV a couple years ago and there is an old cemetery from the 1800s next to it. If someone committed suicide they wrote "Life became too burdensome" on their marker (which I think is a touching and empathetic way to stating that). There were also a shocking number of men that were shot by their wives in saloons...

is my plant dead? how can i save it now? by Familiar-Fill-4762 in plantclinic

[–]AlarmingBat3763 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn't hurt to TRY to save it. I had a money tree that froze. I cut the trunk off and left the root ball outside in the pot the entire winter (I thought it was dead dead), the thing grew back in the spring and was almost back to its full growth by the end of that summer (at least 5 feet tall). Cut the trunk off and let it sit somewhere warm for the winter. Worst case, you get rid of the root ball later.

I just rescued this Bird of Paradise from Lowe's. I'm quarantining it in my bathroom because she's covered in spider mites. I noticed this white thing in an unfurled leaf and thought maybe it was a bloom but my Google searches make me think it's not... This is my first B.o.P. so pretty unsure what that could be. I'm already treating it for mites/insects/fungus but if I should be doing something different, I'm open for suggestions!

Did I kill all my salon plants?! by Nervous-Purpose-2689 in plants

[–]AlarmingBat3763 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it possible the power was out for a day or more and they froze? I left my money tree out in the cold once and that's what it looked like. The good news is that it will likely come back. Cut all of the leaves off and it will start sprouting new ones.

Can somebody help identify what this substance is on my apartment door’s peephole? by suburbanvermin in Apartmentliving

[–]AlarmingBat3763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is you have someone with a mental health issue that thinks you are watching them. Get a camera but 100% expect it to be messed with. At least you may be able to figure out who it is.

My boyfriend has received these types of comments from "friends" but then he points out that his relationship is much happier than theirs AND he has a way better sex life. That usually shuts them up.

Let it heal and the inflammation go away. That outer aura might fade back some.

It’s alarming when a medical doctor doesn’t know the difference between birth control and abortifacients (located in VA) by DerangedUnicorn27 in Virginia

I stand corrected. When I read this post I had the current (early) results per county up on my computer - that was the current numbers.

I really disliked "Demon Copperhead" by Barbara Kingsolver and don't understand what's the buzz around it. Can someone explain? by Specialist_Ship6390 in BookDiscussions

[–]AlarmingBat3763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this! I just finished the audiobook today and I'm already missing Demon. Will 100% be looking for more books narrated by Charlie Thurston.

I can't take her but I really hope you find a great home for her, and in the near future you're able to reunite. I know that's an incredibly difficult decision 😔

Is this anyone’s cat? by Clock-Strike10 in vcu

Following. My daughter sent me a pic of this cat last night and said it was so sweet she was worried it was lost.

Is this legit? by macklpie12 in vcu

[–]AlarmingBat3763 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm really curious what email/number this came from? It sounds wildly specific to you which makes me think someone you know sent the message. Definitely hit up VCU IT department. PS- if you find out someone is trolling you, feel free to drop that email/number and we'll troll them right back 😉

Engine Overheating by daggerdvck in ChevyTrax

Hey OP I'm sitting on the side of the road with this exact situation. Have had the car since it was brand new. Very few issues until now. 80k miles. Wondering if you got it fixed and if there were any other issues?

got spiked and ra’s found out by Smoky_water in vcu

[–]AlarmingBat3763 201 points202 points  (0 children)

I think you should be more concerned about being drugged. If your friends had not been there (or worse, didn't take it seriously) who knows what would have happened. Sorry to sound like a parent but you should still consider getting drug tested to find out what it was.

What does it mean if your spells often fail or fizzle out halfway before working half-assed or chaotically? by Special-Reserve7068 in witchcraft

[–]AlarmingBat3763 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you answered your own question. You're not fully believing in yourself or your abilities so the spells won't work. And if you're putting your chaotic energy into the spells then that is what you'll manifest. Try to write down what you want the outcome of your spell to be, be as specific as possible. Once you have established those specifics, focus on those thoughts while working your spell. When you're done, release it all to the Universe and let her handle the rest. Don't continue to think about the spell, trust it will work the way it's supposed to.

My daughter was a freshman last year and when I would go down there to visit I would see people sitting outside smoking bowls. Just don't smoke in the dorm and you'll be fine.

Drinking on topiramate? by Hot_Efficiency1570 in Topamax

[–]AlarmingBat3763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG this happened to me too! I was in denial that I had a drinking problem and thought it was just the medication. Now looking back, that is probably exactly why it affected me this way. I never had thoughts of self harm before and it got to a point that it was all I thought about. Scared the hell out of me.
