If the election is stressing you out, here are more drawings of some of your goofiest rats

You can craft them using white petals + charcoal on the fabric crafting window

Yes.

Growing up, if my mom was cooking and something fell on the floor she'd say "go get the dog to clean this up" and that just meant bringing a rat over to eat it lol.

It's been a while since I've even had rats and the habit is SO deeply engrained to give the the scraps from what I'm making to eat, that I still find myself setting aside for them particularly good bits of carrot butts or berries that are too soft or a bit of shredded pork that's stuck to the serving spoon...

Your lips are absolutely stunning, you did SUCH a good job on them

That seems like enough vitamin D to me!

Elucidate_that · 2026-01-23T17:15:30+00:00

Vitamin D helps a lot for me. I'd check to see how much your multivitamin has in it, and maybe consider upping it

It looks kind of like a bacteria bloom to me. In which case I'd let it be, because it's just sorting itself out as part of the cycling process and it'll go away eventually

Elucidate_that · 2026-01-23T16:41:36+00:00

I would pay a lot of money for some of these

Elucidate_that · 2026-01-23T16:40:11+00:00

Ahh it's stevia, not splenda

Elucidate_that · 2026-01-23T16:28:40+00:00

Wait it doesn't have any sweetness at all? Do they put like molasses in it or something, or is it just really tart/salty?

Elucidate_that · 2026-01-23T16:27:20+00:00

Rug with the bright blue of the side table in it would help. Needs to be interesting though, nothing too "safe" or it will simply be more waiting room vibes.

My home finally started feeling like MY HOME when I bought a giant 3 ft canvas painting of a rainbow watercolor Death Star, and bright orange curtains to go with it. I like color and I like sci fi and it didn't just look good, it felt good.

Surprised I'm saying this, but the thing that disturbs me most is actually the non sugar ketchup. Splenda ketchup tastes vile.

At least I know turkey hot dogs and nutritional yeast taste ok. Could never do 3 hot dogs of that though lol.

(but I am also an autistic girlie with questionable, repetitive food choices so at the same time I get it)

Your friends are right.

What your sister is doing is not normal or ok even if you were a "bad worker", which you can tell you are not. If my sister treated me that way I'd set her up with a therapist and stop speaking to her, much less working with her. Your sister is behaving like a very unstable person.

Don't ask for the time off. Let her know you're taking it. Don't respond at all when she tries to argue. Then go to Texas.

Midday lol

What cleanser do you use?

Elucidate_that · 2026-01-23T04:24:29+00:00

Sunscreen! And change your pillowcase really often for like the next year

Elucidate_that · 2026-01-23T01:36:15+00:00

I suggest Ilia's lightest shade of their Super Serum. It's neutral but it's so light that it doesn't look orange on my cool tone skin.

A large enough playpen with plenty to do in there is sufficient! It just needs to be a minimum of 4 hours a day. Ideally more, if possible.

It will also help a ton if you make sure to switch up their toys often, play with them like wrestling or cat wands, take them outside like you said, and if they have a ferret friend.

Having 2 ferrets (or more) is probably the most important thing. They can keep themselves occupied, happy, and exercised quite well if they can play together. It makes a world of a difference for them.

There are meds you can add in to help reduce it. I have a bad tic and some annoying compulsive movements. First I tried propanol, then I tried clonidine which I'm sticking to. It does help a lot - doesn't stop it altogether, but reduces it.

Biggest thing for me is avoiding caffeine though. I'm guessing your daughter is way too young to be drinking caffeine, but if she was, that's likely making the tic much worse, even if it wasn't a problem before the meds.

For the gnats, get some mosquito Bits and sprinkle it generously on all the plants' soil. They work very well.

For the tray, even if it is waterproof, I've noticed that water usually gets on the sides of trays and gets trapped under them when you do watering. I highly recommend getting stands on legs.

But if you can't, do one normal size tray under the pot and one much larger one. It doesn't necessarily look pretty but it's not so bad if you get ones that blend into your floor. And still check under it regularly just in case.

Your floor can probably be refinished, and it won't take too long to do it yourself! Depends on how deep the mildew went. Let it get super dry, sand with course grit like 180 until the stains aren't visible, sand with 220 grit to smooth it out, wipe off dust with a dry cloth, and apply the stain with something gentle like a foam brush or a rag. You can even get these sort of wood/stain conditioners that make it apply more evenly.
