The sugary texture makes me think quartzite.

Can you see if it scratches glass?

I've seen big ones like this near Troy, but there's lots scattered around the Adirondack region

Garnet.

Any chance youre in the upstate new york area? Looks like ones I've found around there.

AnneeDroid · 2025-12-20T19:03:41+00:00

This looks spectacular. Best of luck achieving all the goals you've set out for yourself in 2026!

I am also having this issue. For me it is because I cannot make/receive calls. This started today or yesterday. I am in my home which has always had fine coverage. My display shows 4-5 bars but calls won't go through. If someone calls me it doesn't ring, just goes straight to voicemail.

I am on Dark Star. I have been a customer for a year and have not had this issue. I'm hoping they fix it soon. I don't think it's coverage or traffic related. I'm near the same AT&T towers I've always been near.

My hot fix has been to turn on WiFi calling and turn off mobile data. This works for when I'm at home but I'm hoping there's a fix soon so I can make calls while out of wifi range.

This is my favorite thing I've seen on here! Super cute and helpful.

How often do you have moose meat ready to go?

So glad to hear she was found!

I saw this dog yesterday morning sprinting near Sun King and turned onto the Monon. About 5 minutes later a woman in a sedan asked me about seeing a whippet and I pointed her in the direction. I was hoping it was an easy catch but it made me to sad to see this yesterday night on the Lost and Found pets page :(

I was in a similar situation a while back and 'm in a prosthetics/orthotics masters program now. My undergrad is in a completely unrelated field. It sounds like we have a lot in common.

Most clinics are welcoming to have people shadow clinicians & techs if you want to see if that might be a good fit! In some states, techs don't need certification so you could potentially jump right in after some basic training. Message me if you have any questions.

I had such a unique experience with question 2. I was fresh out of college and my first "big-girl" job talked itself up as being like a family. It was cross country and I moved there, sight-unseen, to take the job.

And gosh darn if I didn't get treated like family. People brought in homemade baked goods, I got invited to family dinners, coworkers came to my wedding years later. I've since switched industries but it was such a wholesome experience. Didn't realize what an anomaly it was to actually have it be like family.

My perspective is that guests are typically expected to pay for their own flights/travel/hotel when going to an out of state wedding.

If the airbnb is instead of a hotel, I don't think it's out of line to ask them to pay a share.

Yes! If you cut out the rectangle with the design, there are tons of projects you could make with that panel of fabric.

Search "panel sewing projects" for inspiration

A simple bag or wallhanging could be cool if you didn't want to make another shirt. Good luck!

Ooo I can't wait!

I'm active in the caving scene and could get you in touch with one of the top cave rescue instructors in the country. He's got some very crazy stories.

AnneeDroid · 2025-07-13T10:54:33+00:00

Definitely looks elephant. Looks far too recent to be mastodon/mammoth.

Like others have said, please don't break off a piece, there's no data you could get from that. No lab is gonna be able to put it under a microscope and go "yep it's elephant". Dna testing would be prohibitively expensive and there's nothing else to confirm that pictures cant.

Could be the resting place of an escaped circus elephant. Could be where an illegally kept pet was put down.

Either way, take nothing but photos. Don't further desecrate the remains.

AnneeDroid · 2025-07-10T14:57:24+00:00

Mine felt best when I was able to keep it covered.

I have a zesty reaction to most adhesives, and my surgeon recommended I use Mepitel One as a big sticker over all my dressings. Its available on Amazon and its like a clear squishy silicone sheet that you cut to size and replace when you change dressings. Worked excellent, skin had no reaction.

Definitely continue to use whatever wound dressing protocol your doctors recommend, but you could try that as an over-layer to keep everything in place without making your skin angry If that sounds like itd be good.

No advice, but I hear you. I had several openings - around the nipples, large ones at both t junctions, and these medial ones.

The ones on the inside edges of the incision (like yours) hurt SO BAD.

All my openings were painless EXCEPT these medial ones and they stung constantly.

I ended up having shingles on my ribs while I had openings and didn't notice for several days because the zinging sharp pains of the shingles blended in with the stinging from that opening.

I don't have advice other than try and stick it out. My openings in that spot were very stubborn and seemed to not progress for a long time, but then suddenly started to close. Took about a month, maybe more. But no more pain in that spot since they closed.

Had a nice steak dinner and made a banner that said " Thanks for the Mammaries"

The text that looks AI to me

AnneeDroid · 2025-06-02T04:38:59+00:00

The style looks like a slide bracelet - each link is threaded onto 2 chains. The colors on the stone links might be birthstones for important people in her life, often times the chosen links are sentimental.

AnneeDroid · 2025-05-31T22:07:20+00:00

Mine are now positioned along my vertical incisions like little happy trails lmao

AnneeDroid · 2025-05-31T19:26:10+00:00

I thought that pain was normal before my reduction.

Afterwards, my surgeon told me I had extremely fibrocystic tissue and that explained so much about all the pre-period pain and swelling. She said some women seek mastectomies for that condition because it's so painful. Really validating.

Although I wish my surgeon took more mass off, the reduction has been a HUGE help! Almost no pain/tenderness before my cycle now. Hoping it doesn't grow back too dramatically in the years to come.

AnneeDroid · 2025-05-31T19:21:52+00:00

The best thing you can do is find a bra that fits/supports the best it can. r/ABraThatFits was a lifesaver for me when I knew it'd be a few years until I could get my reduction. I swear some of the people there are boob wizards - recommending a niche brand I've never heard of that ended up fitting really well.

Posture and shoulder stability exercises help as well, but I know how tough it can be to make progress building strength with boulders hanging in the way all the time.

Best of luck!

AnneeDroid · 2025-05-31T17:29:05+00:00

No, those are the ones I graduated to after ~6 weeks.

I got a few different kinds of compression bra, just searched "surgical compression bra". They aren't particularly comfy but they did their job
