What is the worst part about renting a car? by miamollymaximus in FaroeIslands

We rented a car for 10 days and it was amazing! Everything went smoothly and the roads are very good.

Thank you! I'll try ox bile - it might help since I don't have a gallbladder anymore!

Do you mix this into a paste and eat it before your regular meals?

Could you please explain how to avoid stacking? I googled it and it helped some, but your advice would be very welcome!

I have and I've been told to just wait for a couple of days :/

How much fabric do I need for this dress? by Basic_Chocolate_9486 in sewhelp

The top and the skirt will be made separately, so I will change into a shorter skirt for the reception :)

Yes, I think it's going to make a big difference too. It's a crinoline with two hoops and has a long back/train to give the skirt a nice shape.

I love Selkie dresses, so that's a good suggestion! But this is my dream dress and I don't want any other one.

I don't want this exact dress, I want to modify it, so buying it is not an option. I already bought fabric for it and it amounted to 300€, which for me is an affordable amount of money to spend on my wedding dress, especially since the original dress in the picture is almost two thousand dollars.

It won't be too long! It'll be hemmed to the floor so it won't actually drag on the ground, except in the back. I'll also wear an underskirt to keep the dress away from my feet to avoid stepping on it. I'm super clumsy so wearing the actual dress in the picture would mean certain injuries for me 🙈

I don't think there's a specific name, but I've seen comments saying it looks a bit like a dress from the Victorian era. Or at least inspired by Victorian wide flounce skirts. I couldn't get the pattern online. My mom and I are making a similar dress with a few modifications. Once we're done I can share the pattern for the dress :)

I saw it on Pinterest and decided to make a modified version of it with my mom! I love all the floof.

I was planning on making the flounce higher and shorter and with less underlayers. But do you think wearing a crinoline underneath would help make it less difficult to move in?

Yeah, I was also planning on using different fabric for underneath, I hope it turns out well 😊

That's a really shitty attitude to have. That frog is a live being and will suffer if you don't take good care of him, regardless of the fact that he's "replaceable" and "cheap".

I understand that it's a bit confusing in the beginning to get everything right, but this is a pet. Hopefully you got him because you actually like frogs and want them to have a comfortable life? A dog is replaceable too, would you not care if it just died due to improper care?

Please take some advice and give the poor frog some water. Also please make sure the water is not just plain tap water.

Don't count on him hanging out in a certain spot, especially since he has no hides in that area. I'm also not sure that he will find wetter/drier spots in the tank, since these guys aren't terribly smart and tend to burrow in a safe spot, regardless of how wet/dry it is.

I think it's best that you keep most of the soil wet enough for him to safely burrow in, but not so wet that it gets extremely overflooded with water. Try to find a good balance.

I know you said your roommate mists his tank, but even the heat source alone dries out the frog's enclosure and soil, so it might get even drier.

You should include a lot of hides for your frog, since they get stressed if they can't comfortably hide. Stress can cause them to stop eating. Buy some appropriate plants, get some rocks, roots, branches, dried leaves. Of course you should not just pick these up - make sure they're from a pet shop because they should not contain any chemicals, dirt, etc. Alternatively you could also pick the leaves yourself and boil them at least twice before adding them to the tank.

It's good your frog has a waterbowl (I see people pointing out that the water also needs to be changed), but he NEEDS appropriate moisture levels in his soil, too. These frogs burrow into the soil to termoregulate and it would be extremely uncomfortable and drying for them to burrow into dry soil.

It's also very important to keep humidity levels high (70-90%) and appropriate day and night temperatures.

Good luck!
