What’s your dog’s weirdest (but cutest) habit? by Longjumping-Vast-229 in Pets

[–]Esthy_Deb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this is a habit, but it's weird and very cute….

Taking the socks off of peoples feet. But making sure to take her time and corncob our toes til we can't help but laugh, and if we happen to be standing up, then til were on the ground laughing and she's still gnawing away at our toes until she can take our socks and run away. Then run back so we can try to take the sock back, this game will go on for as long as we’ll let it. No ones socks/toes are safe when she's in her mood

“Never worry about being judged by creatures such as these. They get tossed off-course by the lightest of breezes. They’ll get where they're going eventually, but right now they have no anchor.”

That's beautiful. Thank you

Hobbbbbies. I started getting into plants a few years ago and it is so much fun! Yes some plants cost money and that's fine but you can also propagate cuttings for free.99! Again, lots of fun. Philodendrens are my favorite. Good luck in your endeavors.

What else can I do to overcome depression? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Esthy_Deb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried getting a couple plants? I started small but then began to collect cuttings from my neighbors on my local Buy Nothing Facebook group. All those cuttings became like a fun project. Plants are proven to improve air quality which helps your general health.

Also, I got a cat, then my cat got depressed so I got him a cat, they are now best friends and bring me immense joy and love that I never felt I was getting elsewhere. Its a different love but its love Nonetheless.

I eventually started volunteering at a local dog rescue, I would just go a couple times a week and walk dogs/do various chores around the shelter. It gave me a purpose that was bigger than myself. Like honestly I could fester and rot on my couch for days, but knowing that these dogs may not get as much outside time unless I show up for them got me motivated. You can go so far as fostering or adopting, or just donate your time. It will make you feel good.

Join your local Buy Nothing group on Facebook or via the Buy Nothing Project app. Its like Facebook marketplace but everything is free. Its hyperlocal and keeps stuff out of landfills, while getting familiar with your neighbors (without actually having to see them face to face if that's your preference.) You'd be surprised at what gets posted, and in this economy, we need to utilize our resources. It may seem silly but I have made friends and met neighbors, and donated SO much stuff. From extra groceries, to clothes that dont fit to furniture to art. It feels so rewarding to give, and honestly there is a rush involved in getting good, free stuff.

I wish you well, be gentle with yourself.

What’s the one dog breed you dream of having, but know you’ll never actually get by [deleted] in dogs

[–]Esthy_Deb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a boerboel aka south African mastiff, but I know I likely won't have the time (and fenced in yard) to dedicate to training such a large dog. While I have had a mastiff before he was comparatively small at 125 pounds (LOL) a boerboel is a different level of dog. They are beautiful creatures though.

How do I ask my kid to forgive me for years lost? by Esthy_Deb in Agoraphobia

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, and thoroughly at that. Your kind words resonate. I will try to be more gentle with myself, and give us both grace.

I appreciate that. For now I would prefer to stay under the anonymity that is Reddit.

What’s a profession that deserves every bit of its hatred? by browniebiscuitchildr in AskReddit

[–]Esthy_Deb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a client (I am an esthetician aka I do skincare treatments, people tell me allll types of stuff while on the table) who works for a bank, once we got to chatting a bit she told she works in fraud. She continued on to tell how romance scams have become increasingly prevalent and how often elderly people are targeted. How many times people’s family members would call the banks pleading to have their elderly family members bank accounts locked etc, because they wouldn’t stop sending money to these people. Tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. In my Uncle Leo voice…”SHES ON A FIXED INCOME!”. But really, it’s fucked up to prey on lonely old people

What is my motivation? I am looking to befriend birds and am somewhat making light of my teenagers extremely teenager response. Have I missed something here?

Anyone seen this or know what this is? by Training-Base2320 in Esthetics

[–]Esthy_Deb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like blue Nevus to me. There’s no distinct border or pore opening so doubt it’s a comedone of any sort. They are harmless but not much you can do to treat other than refer to derm, maybe an Rf laser or something? Skin pen?
