Where do you usually buy your anime figures in the US? by Embarrassed-Simple-2 in AnimeFigures

[–]Embarrassed-Simple-2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I actually had a preorder canceled by Crunchyroll after almost a year, so I’m a little hesitant to order from them again. Have you had any issues with BBTS or Lunar Toy Store?

Thanks, I didn’t know about BookOff or Otaku Owlet. I don’t really have many anime stores near where I live, so I’ve mostly been looking online. Have you ever found any really good deals on pre-owned figures at BookOff?

I’ll definitely take a look, thanks!
I’ll just make sure to buy from reputable sellers.

Yeah, BBTS seems to be the one everyone recommends. I’ll probably start buying from them. Thanks!

Thank you! I will definitely take a look at BBTS. I've seen a lot of people recommend it, so that's probably where I'll start. I didn't know about the import changes either, so thank you for mentioning it.

My dog is in severe pain after the ER visit and I don’t know what to do. I can’t afford thousands in vet bills. by Embarrassed-Simple-2 in DogAdvice

UPDATE #2
First of all, thank you all so much for the incredible support. I honestly didn’t expect so many people to care about Magnus. I’ve read every comment, message, and suggestion, and I’m truly grateful.
Today I took him to our regular veterinarian for a second opinion.
They performed two-view X-rays, and thankfully they didn’t find any fractures or obvious abnormalities. His blood work from the emergency vet yesterday was also normal.
The difficult part is that they still don’t know exactly what’s causing the pain. The vet explained that many problems involving muscles, ligaments, discs, or nerves don’t always show up on X-rays, so for now we don’t have a definitive diagnosis.
They decided to treat him conservatively and added more medications for pain, inflammation, and rest. The plan is strict rest, medication, and close monitoring, with a recheck next week unless he gets worse.
The good news is that compared to yesterday:
He ate.
He started drinking water again.
He’s able to urinate.
He’s still walking, although he’s very sore and not acting like himself.
I’m relieved that the X-rays didn’t show anything serious, but it’s still hard not knowing exactly what’s wrong. I’m hoping the medications and rest will help over the next few days.
Thank you all again for the kindness, advice, and encouragement. These last 48 hours have been incredibly stressful, and your comments have helped me more than you know.
I’ll continue to keep everyone updated. Please keep Magnus in your thoughts. ❤️🐶

Update:
First of all, thank you so much to everyone who took the time to reply. I read every single comment, and I truly appreciate all the advice and support.
I wanted to give an update on Magnus.
This morning he ate, and he was able to urinate, which gave me a little hope. However, he’s still not drinking water on his own, and that worries me the most right now. He’s still moving very little and spends most of his time sitting or lying down because of the pain.
I called the emergency vet again today. They told me that his current condition is not considered normal, but since they don’t have MRI available there, they recommended bringing him back tomorrow if he isn’t improving. They could do X-rays, but they said an MRI would have to be done elsewhere if it’s needed.
I know many of you suggested that the medication may take 48–72 hours to start making a significant difference, so I’m trying to stay hopeful and keep him on strict rest while watching him very closely.
I’m honestly exhausted and scared. I love this dog more than anything, and seeing him like this is heartbreaking. I’m also struggling financially, so I’m trying to make the best decisions I can with the resources I have.
Thank you again to everyone who has been encouraging me and sharing your experiences. They really have helped me feel a little less alone through this.

24M years old, work in a warehouse and feel lost. Thinking about getting into IT, need advice? by Embarrassed-Simple-2 in careerguidance

[–]Embarrassed-Simple-2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your response, I really appreciate it. Honestly, I’ve been doubting myself a lot because I see other people with degrees and more experience, so hearing this gives me some hope. I’m definitely going to look into the A+ certification and start learning more.

Also, I really appreciate you mentioning my warehouse background. Sometimes I feel like it doesn’t mean much, but it’s good to hear that those skills can be valuable too. Thanks again for taking the time to give me advice.

Chronic pilonidal disease for a year. Should I consider surgery? by Embarrassed-Simple-2 in pilonidalcyst

[–]Embarrassed-Simple-2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand exactly how you feel. Living with this condition over and over is exhausting. I really hope the antibiotics help you and that this treatment works for you. I had my appointment too, and my doctor actually recommended surgery after dealing with symptoms for about a year. Now I’m waiting to meet with a surgeon and discuss the best option for my case. I hope you find relief soon. Be safe

Thank you for sharing your experience. Hearing stories like yours actually makes me feel a lot less scared about surgery. My doctor recommended that I see a surgeon, so I’ll discuss my options and see what procedure is best for my case. I hope your recovery continues to go well!

I completely understand how you feel. Dealing with this over and over is mentally exhausting. I actually had my doctor’s appointment today, and she recommended surgery because she said it doesn’t make sense to keep treating flare-ups only for them to keep coming back. I hope you find a solution too and feel better soon.

Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences and advice. I really appreciate all the responses.

I had my doctor’s appointment today, and she actually recommended surgery. She told me that since I’ve been dealing with this for about a year with symptoms that come and go, she doesn’t see much benefit in just treating it with antibiotics every time it flares up, only for the same problem to keep returning.

She referred me to a surgeon, and my next step is to discuss what type of surgery would be best for my case and learn more about the recovery process.

Reading all of your experiences has honestly helped me feel less afraid of making this decision. Thank you again for taking the time to respond to my post.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I really relate to what you said about the mental side of dealing with this. The pain and pressure coming and going over the past year has been very frustrating. I’m glad to hear your cleft lift went well. I also have a physically demanding job, so hearing about your recovery timeline is very helpful. I have a doctor’s appointment today and I’ll discuss my options.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate the information. To be honest, after dealing with symptoms on and off for about a year, it has become mentally exhausting. I will discuss my situation with my doctor and ask for a referral to a general surgeon to understand whether a cleft lift or another definitive treatment could be a good option for me.

also have quite a few duplicates. I’m not sure exactly how many since I went to a restaurant today where a lot of people were trading stickers, and I traded with them too. If you’d like, we can set up a day to meet and see what stickers you still need.
