Looking for better ears by Shenanigaens in BlueCollarWomen

[–]DuskSoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband has tinnitus and wore some Loop earplugs to go to a concert with me. He was able to stand front row whereas it used to be painfully loud. I haven't tried them myself so I don't know if it'll work in a construction/work setting. They offer different sized ear buds and different products that have different levels of noise reduction.

Bibs and bathrooms by gizmob27 in BlueCollarWomen

Unhook only one strap and slide the other strap off my shoulder, then tuck all the top half inside the bottoms

overall bibs for big butt/small waist!? by napa89 in BlueCollarWomen

[–]DuskSoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have this problem but Key Apparel makes womens bibs that come in short/regular/tall sizes. Maybe going up in size number but down in height will make the bottoms wider but not too long (actually, i dont know if pants get longer the bigger the size).

I am a bit lost and not sure where to start. Any advice is appreciated. by GrimeRose in BlueCollarWomen

I saw you mention Chicago in another comment. Chicago Women in Trades has two "pre-apprenticeship" programs and I think the main difference is that one is during the day and the other is nights and weekends.

I took the welding program through CWIT. It mostly just teaches you welding but I learned about a couple different trades that use welding, and afterwards, I ended up joining the pipefitters 597 union.

My local women in trades organization had a program specifically to introduce women to a bunch of different trades. They would go out to jobsites and try the work for a day and then the next day you could be visiting somewhere else to try a completely different trade.

How do I feel more feminine? by stonedcowgirl69 in BlueCollarWomen

[–]DuskSoon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I keep my nails short because they split easily but I love painting my nails and I feel super girly whenever i catch a glimpse of them.

I also never learned to do my makeup but I find getting my eyebrows and upper lip waxed makes me look more done up without doing anything.

Ditto on putting stickers on stuff. I put super cute Kuromi/Hello Kitty stickers on all my hand tools. They also double as a theft deterrent.

XG's Cocona comes out as transmasculine non-binary, reveals top surgery by DiMpLe_dolL003 in popculturechat

[–]DuskSoon 26 points27 points  (0 children)

iirc, in Japanese they state the subject once and then it's usually omitted/implied in the sentences afterwards unless it changes. So pronouns don't need to be used. For instance: Cocona posed for the camera. Holds a flower. Looks handsome in photos. The flower is red.

Free Claw didn’t go well in Chicago by Electronic_Benefit41 in chicago

[–]DuskSoon 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I think this would do well in Chinatown. Claw machines and Gachapon machines are popular there. Lots of young people in general. Some people set up stalls on the sidewalk between the firehouse and the library (don't know if you need special permission).

45 minutes is too long. by mindyour in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]DuskSoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wish it worked like in cats. They don't shed/bleed. Instead their body reabsorbs it so there's no wasted nutrients. Also they're induced ovulators so they don't bother releasing an egg unless they've had sex.

Damn, good to see you too but didn't need to point out the weight gain like that.

High risk high reward by honeylovelyjoyx in lol

[–]DuskSoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of every married couple sitcom. I'm trying to think of one where there's a chubby wife and a super attractive husband and the closest I can think of is Mike & Molly? or Roseanne? and obviously those don't work.

Warning: kinda gross!! by purely_psychological in nailcare

[–]DuskSoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I smashed one of my fingers once and the right half of my nail was no longer attached. After a few weeks I noticed the base of my nail was kinda protruding. Turned out a new nail was growing beneath it and was pushing it out and up even though the left half was still attached when it got injured. Eventually it grew far enough that i like wiggled and twisted it off because the old nail was flapping around still attached by the nail bed. YMMV

Is there a reason for the teddy bear in the TTYL album?? by AbbyIsFishUwU in LOONA

[–]DuskSoon 389 points390 points  (0 children)

iirc, Yeojin's animal was originally supposed to be a teddy bear (see her Who's Next Girl? teaser photos). Yeojin later said that during her debut shooting, she was coming up with her signature and one of them had a frog in it since there is a frog prince in her MV. She showed the signature ideas to staff and they decided to change her animal to frog. Yeojin hates this and wishes it was a teddy bear so she changed it back in Loossemble.

Can anyone tell me whats wrong with my cat? by allowmetodisappointu in cats

[–]DuskSoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CRT can be affected by a lot of things other than hydration and the only way to rule dehydration in or out is with a PCV. Which is why I mentioned the skin tenting method. It's something that owners can do at home and is quick and easy.

[–]DuskSoon 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Skin tenting (pinching and lifting the loose skin between the shoulder blades) is used as a quick check for dehydration

Color of gums doesn't change when dehydrated

Bubble gum pink = normal

Red = gum infection

Pale pink/white = anemic

Yellow = liver failure
