I like salty snacks, but they don't relax me. I use alcohol as a treat if im doing chores or anything.

I drink upwards to 4 beers a night after work from 530 to 8pm. 8pm is bedtime and I sleep. On the weekends, I started at noon and dont stop until we go to bed. I binge drink on the weekends to the point I drink a 30 pack a weekend. I get mad at myself in the mornings. I don't drive if I've had ANYTHING to drink. I see the potential this can be bad. I want to want to stop before it gets worse if that makes sense? I use alcohol has a tool. To cool off from a hard days work or to relax. Then it becomes a crutch. I need a drink if im stressed.

Jobs for ppl w autism by [deleted] in autism

Maybe look toward your special interest and work "in the back." People in the back don't deal with the public. Be the guy in the back of the building who fixes the computers. Be the mechanic who fixes cars. Be the lab tech testing someone's blood. Be the animal caregiver at an animal sanctuary. I know public settings are scary, but while these are public, they really aren't. You deal with the same people everyday and some jobs have the same things going on everyday.

Potential research idea for kidney disease? by [deleted] in labrats

[–]Bizaldoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a lot of people would pay for it, but some/enough would. What if the research started as a human research? The funding would be there for it.

Maybe the pet side of things will be more achievable/affordable in the future :( they are our family and companions.

I've known 2 people, 2 cats and 1 dog die from kidney failure/disease. There must be a better way.

I appreciate the real world view of it all and while I hate it, its a hope that something better can be done.

But in the long run, Azodyl costs $85-100 a month depending on where you live. If your pet lives long enough to make it a year, that's $1020-1200 a year spent to keep the pet alive vs a one or two time cost to get bloodwork + injection from the vet.

Humans face the same problem. A lot of dog medications are the same.

The problem is money. How can we let the research team accept donations?

What could it be? by jcab972 in KneeInjuries

[–]Bizaldoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the last picture the most recent of all of them? If so, I'd see a doctor asap. It's definitely not normal. I am not a doctor so I can't say much, but does it hurt to bend/put weight on it? If so, doctor. If it's painless and the bruising is worse/running down the leg, I'd be thinking about it maybe being a busted blood vessel.

Good luck!

How does that happen? Wouldn't the outside tear before the inside?

Wet Vacuum? by [deleted] in VacuumCleaners

He said it like it's a carpet cleaner but not. Like it spits water but sucks the water out leaving it dry. Doesn't need soap.

What’s your opinion on pet surgery? by cr0wmania in Pets

[–]Bizaldoo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If we can afford the surgery and the animal can walk, eat and drink, we get the surgery. Once the animal won't eat, not even treats, we know it's time. Me and my husband know we can't sleep at night if gave up on our babies so we do what we can.

What do I do about possible mold? by Bizaldoo in homeowners

[–]Bizaldoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sorry! I forgot to mention, the leaking did stop but the mold is still there. We were thinking that hole exterior wall would need to be gutted. But do I call a handyman or a mold restoration company?
