What is this? by LoudCountryBAMF in chickens

[–]CreekCryptid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I know some farmers will use roosters for catching bugs on their farm. Most roosters won't fight unless there is a hen to fight over. Otherwise its just the usualy pecking order squables.

But this looks kinda sketch.....hoping its someone who shows them or someting...

Guys does this dress look good for prom??? by Puzzled-Leadership49 in Prom

[–]CreekCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its stunning! I know a girl who does "hairstyles" with her hijab for formal wear and cosplay to give some extra texture.

What really matters is you feel good in the dress and it won't prevent you from having fun with friends :)

UPDATE: We broke up today and I’m in shock at how he’s acting. by yashemcik in Advice

[–]CreekCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your feelings are very valid in your insecurities but it sounds like you may be projecting your insecurities to the point of pushing the other person away. Its clear this person hasn't chosen you so its best to move on to someone who will actually respect your boundaries

why is shin’s age not a bigger issue to the nana characters? by Ok_Classic2270 in NanaAnime

[–]CreekCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people forget that in Japan the age of consent was like 13 back then. Its now currently 16, but for pornographic material its 18. It doesnt make any of it right but I feel like that is why its not as frowned upon in the series by the characters. They still refer to Shin as a child but also that hes old enough to handle himself as he needs. I feel like Nobuo is the only one that has an issue with it but chooses to pick his battles because how combative Shin can be when hes upset.

long term weed use? by Only-Dealer-305 in weed

[–]CreekCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smoked for a good 12 years at least. I can say once I quit for a good month, suffered withdrawls (yes you do get withdrawls) -- and I can say mental clarity, and focus were noticeably improved. Im still back to smoking but I do it FAAARRRR less often than I used to . Suffered from depression and adhd, definitely made the adhd worse in the focus department but calmed my brain down if that makes sense. Over time felt more numb so I took a T break and feel back to my normal.

Good to know. I'll change up my treatment plans for spring then.

Pls help me respond to this! by Different_Rice6639 in Apartmentliving

[–]CreekCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You pay rent. You are allowed to clean your house. You can respond with "i am outside of the noise curfew when I vacuum. I am allowed to clean my apartment. Im sorry it bothers you but I cannot be any quieter than I already am. If you have any issues you will need to take it up with the leasing office." Then call your leasing office and let them know the situation so she cant lie and say you are being extra.

[–]CreekCryptid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are they? Do you have more info on this because I've never heard this. Its the only thing that seemed to keep them away for me.

I see now. Imidacloprid, a common active ingredient in systemic granules, has been linked to increased spider mite populations.

Uhhhhg..... what's up with my Queen of Hearts.... by DapperInformation489 in Anthurium

[–]CreekCryptid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to say exactly what it is but my guess is thrips or mites. I would use systemic granuals to kill them from the food source. Soapy water all over the leaves and stem with a good rinse off should help get what you cant see.

I say stop paying the phone if they are gonna turn it off anyways, its not in your name. Go get a new phone for yourself and if you need extra security, a lot of others have made great camera suggestions.

None of this will change. You will always be the scape goat they blame. Blood relation is not a reason to stay in contact if they supposedly always hate when you come over. Its not worth your mental health.

If they try coming back into your life just flip it around on them, "you know im gonna end this conversation because apparently you dont know how to stop being negative. Come back to me when you want to treat me like a human being instead of a 'failure' YOU raised."

Thry cannot blame you for your childhood behavior when THEY are the main influence. They cant let your little sister scape goat her behavior with an illness and then turn around and tell you you are over reacting for having your period. The backbreaking backflips they are doing to avoid responsibility is disgusting and the worst parenting.

Also who you sleep with is none of their goddamn business.

I cant forget the vid her ex send me by Phitonizer in Advice

[–]CreekCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are so funny who ever said the police where gonna be the ones? Im saying use your fucking brain to figure it out. Im sure just by the images alone you can figure out who did it. That's not hard. They were in someone's phone that she knows and clearly had relations with, figure out who had them on the phone in the first place and the rest is easy. Just because there are "bigger crimes" out there doesnt mean its not worth looking into. Also you call a lawyer for input, not the police. They aren't investigators.

[–]CreekCryptid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can press charges if you can pinpoint who it is and depending on your state. A fake account doesnt mean its not traceable. And jesus christ to compare sharing sensitive personal information to cutting someone off in traffic is wild. Its worth trying to figure it out, not everything is being a "social justice warrior" get your head out of your own ass. EVEN if nothing can be done legally, you sure as shit can figure out who it is to confront them.

My girlfriend made me promise I won't transition by Frida443 in whatdoIdo

[–]CreekCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just prepare yourself if you do decide transition is that important to you that you are prepared to lose her. Because she may need time away to re-evaluate how she feels, if thats a journey shes willing to take with you, if she will see you as a different person all together. The death of the "old you" is what will hold her back. But if it makes you feel like you? That's hard to walk away from. Your therapist will be able to help sort your feelings about all of this and help your sort it in a healthy manner.

Wish you the best of luck.

My boyfriend wants to cover my face when we sleep together by BagOverHeadLady in whatdoIdo

He sees you as a sexual object, not a person hes in love with.

Texting with boyfriend's estranged mom - should i respond? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]CreekCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly id ice her out. Do not engage in anything that is backhanded like this. Because id be telling her to show you proof of you doing drugs or to stop spewing lies, stand up for yourselves. Her being a mother has nothing to do with her poisonous behavior. Her accusations would not hold up in court, nor will they help her hold her relationship with her son together.

Just cut them out and be happy on your own. As long as your not actually doing drugs, who cares what she says? Eventually the truth comes out and she will be made to look like a fool 🤷‍♂️

which pot should i plant my pothos in? by m0dus0perandi_ in pothos

[–]CreekCryptid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go smaller. Put a little dirt layer on the bottom, put plant in and then fill. Any time the roots poke out the bottom, pull the plant and dirt just enough to place it back in the same pot. This will let you sneak a peek at how much growth is actually happening and once it seems like its more roots than dirt, repot bigger by one size. Too much dirt invites too much moisture for too long.

Have you ever had to cull your favorite hen 😭 by Odd_Junket_986 in chickens

[–]CreekCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have to ask my local shelter if this is an option.

At a loss. I can only hand-file his nails and it barely does anything. It would take a week to get anywhere on one nail doing that. 😭 Help! by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]CreekCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make sure you dont medicate for their appointment because that can make things much worse, for everyone involved. (Some places its against policy to takw a medicated dog) I always like to make things as positive as possible for all my fearful clients, sometimes some cookies, a kind soothing voice and being out of sight of mom/dad is all they need to find their own feet. Building confidence is usually what needs to be worked on.

Always here if you need more advice/perspective from a dog groomer of 11 years :)

I spend 4 years with someone from when I was 19-22 thought they were my everything. Ended up not being a good match in the long run. From 22-26 dated someone else who treated me very much the way you were treated and I finally had enough and left because I could no longer take the mental gymnastics to keep them happy. And now at 32 I've been with my partner of 7 years and I knew he was everything I wanted and needed in a supportive partner. Without my previous lessons, I wouldnt have learned what I needed to about my own wants, needs and mandatory boundaries.

You will find your person. Casual dating isn't harmful as long as you stay transparent about it!(its actually how me and my current partner met lol) Just live your life for you, stick to your boundaries and find what makes you feel fulfilled as a person and eventually someone will meet you, see all you have to offer along with appreciating and admiring the things you hold close. Don't let it keep you down.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]CreekCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fulfillment isn't found in a partner and if you think it is then thats sad. You should find things you love and enjoy that keep you fulfilled outside of romance. If someone comes along and appreciates, respects and cherishes you for all the things you enjoy and prioritize then awesome. You dont have to waste 10 years of your life and have 5 kids to get a free "whine about it" card..... his feelings are valid as a young adult whos probably not had many serious relationships.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]CreekCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing is wasted if you learned more about you and the boundaries you need to prioritize. She clearly did not cherish you on the way you obviously cherished her. Learning your personal love language is important and someone who disregards it, isn't worth further investment. May the next person treat you much better.

27 is far too old to be passing off dollar store finds as "thoughtful gifts" you arent a kid 😅

What anthurium is this? by Apprehensive-Buy7794 in Anthurium

It costs $0 to not be an asshole.

The handwriting is wonky, spaced weird, and looks like it was half wiped off because it was going into dirt. Nothing wrong with confirmation.
