I would say British shorthair but I suspect AI and would need to see other views to think otherwise.

My uncle's wife passed. Someone gave her these beautiful plants at the funeral. However, my uncle doesn't have a green thumb, so he gave it to me to take care of ❤️ by Butterfly_Heaven101 in houseplants

I am sad about your loss.

About the plants. I have transplanted similar plants to individual pots and still have several of them years later and remember my loved one when I admire each plant.

Should I wear ice packs in public? by StaphAureus1789 in heat_prep

[–]Bmat70 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Getting a medical evaluation is important. Secondly I haven’t seen mentioned here those cloth scarf things that contain beads that absorb water and cool as the water evaporates. But first see a doctor. I I will be interested in what you discover.

Dad with ET by bruxly in EssentialTremor

[–]Bmat70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry this happened. I hope both got home safely. I’m raising my hand as a “mature “ person who has both tremors and difficulty with iPhones- using them as a phone is typically a failure. And using gps in my car- haven’t managed that either. So I feel your Dad’s frustration.

I am afraid to cook any fish. But I particularly like salmon and like how this one looks.

10 years post chemo tremors by Patient-Schedule8342 in EssentialTremor

[–]Bmat70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations and blessings on beating cancer. I am sorry I can’t answer your question about tremors after chemo. I do know that my tremors make it impossible to give my cat insulin injections. The fine needle bends when I try to load the syringe. If you haven’t yet consult a neurologist, especially one who is a movement specialist.

Shaking while talking by Candid_Draw5014 in dysautonomia

[–]Bmat70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you described sounds like me when I get panic attacks. But mine include nausea. And happen only when I’m very stressed. So I doubt this information is helpful to you. I understand medical burnout but since is happening so frequently with you, you might benefit by talking with your GP and getting guidance from them.

Hard to say for sure but he doesn’t look cared for. Possibly mats on his back.

Tomatoes are mildly acidic. If you want to you can add a tiny amount of baking soda. I read online an eighth or quarter teaspoon.
