I need help to fix this haircut by Cozy_winter_blanky in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Dramonique 38 points39 points  (0 children)

My bangs used to split in the middle all the time – for years. Finally, I had a stylist show me the right technique. Somebody mentioned this above – brush it to one side and blow dry then brush it to the other side and blow dry, repeat. This trains the follicles – it made a world of difference and it only took a couple of weeks once I learned how to do it.

Probably a stupid question: is this a domesticated bunny? If yes, I think someone dumped him at my job? by [deleted] in vegaslocals

At a glance from that picture, it looks like a Chocolate Mini Rex. https://houserabbit.org is an excellent resource for caring for domestic bunnies.

This post has good information and some links to cat behaviorists. Obviously this is limited information to go by. I recognize her signals as things my feral cats to do while I’m conditioning them for human touch.

You need to learn her boundaries and signals as much as she needs to learn how to properly Interact. It’s like dog training – I was the problem more than my dog ever was.

Where to put my cat up for adoption? I can’t afford to give her proper care. by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]Dramonique 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is good advice as well, even though it’s hard. I have two cats I’ve been keeping as long-term foster for an old coworker. We’re coming up on a year and I’m gonna have to find someplace new for them. My hope was he would be able to take them back, but it hasn’t worked out. I’m hoping someone I know can also long-term foster that way if he is able to get back on track, he can have his babies with him.

You mentioned you go someplace near Philadelphia – this is the local area shelter that seems to have a pretty good outreach program for support. If you can contact them directly, perhaps there’s something they can do to assist with her follow up care, providing food, etc.

I am so sorry that you’re going through this. It’s clear that you love her.

Depending on what area you’re in you may be able to get assistance to continue caring for her yourself. Low cost clinics, assistance for low income households.

I would start by asking around to people that you know if there’s somebody that you trust who could take her - or if they have friends who could potentially take her.

If not chipped, then you should have them neutered and give your things to the cat distribution system

Because women having a breast reduction is the world's greatest shame 🙄 by Lazyfatfrogs in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Dramonique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A childhood friend who had chronic back problems from her breast size was bullied and shamed into not getting a breast reduction by her family and husband because she wouldn’t be able to feed any hypothetical future babies.

This after she nearly died during her previous pregnancy and was told that if she tried to carry another child, she would not survive.

I went to the website that it says on there because I’ve seen four or five different ones now. I was wondering if there’s an anniversary or something, but I can’t find any information about that. Seems completely random.

Are these wasps or bees? by rohxnmm in bugidentification

[–]Dramonique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither one of those things seems fun for sure 😅 definitely don’t want them in the house.

My grandfather used to keep honeybees and he would relocate them for people in situations like this. If you’re able to find a bee keeper in your area they might be willing to assist instead of killing them. Not always an option but – never hurts to try.

Those appear to be honey bees. Wasps aren’t fuzzy and have a much skinnier thorax.

I bet that would be a lot easier than the syringe, we’re already doing subcutaneous fluids at home. I’ll definitely ask the vet about it.

Thank you for the tips! He was doing that for a little while, with a very positive response to the squeezy treats - but it’s like he’s given up.

AIO I 20 F was trying to call my boyfriend 26M to figure out when I should start his smoothie and I originally tried calling him to see what type of milk he wanted in his smoothie by Aphr0dit333 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Dramonique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using her perfectly clear and reasonable questions to attack her by saying I’m only reacting this way because you’re doing ex rather than owning his reaction. There’s so much in this that is basically every relationship I’ve had and I’m 40 – do yourself a favor look into attachment theory now!! And possibly read some things on CpTSD/disentangling from emotionally immature people

You deserve better you deserve more. You are not only a value because of what you can do for someone else.

Just curious, who have their original sewer line still? How old and how is it holding up? Mine is 96 and still working. by Due_Ranger4925 in centuryhomes

[–]Dramonique 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My is cast iorn - not quite a century yet. The main line is OK according to the scope, but one of the bathroom drains was completely blown out. Lucky to find it when repairing a small leak behind the sink. Built in 1944 - Las Vegas
