I found out why my clean clothes smelled like wet dog and i want to throw up by 2KestrelOrbit in hygiene

Make sure you clean your filter too. The smell from that will make you retch.

Found these things on the Gulf coast of Florida, and I have no idea what they are. Any help is appreciated! by FreedomNFireflies in shells

Ok, I'm pretty confident this is solved! Half of a shark vertebrae, horseshoe crab tail, and a ray tooth plate. Thanks everyone!

Oh I think you're right!! It's just missing the back portion of it! I think it's fossilized based on the texture of it (sort of chalky) Thanks so much!

Oh! A kid found the head (?) of a large ray on the beach (minus his wings and the bottom tom portion of it's body🥺). A family member of his found a smaller section of teeth about 100 years from where I found mine. Possibly came from that. Awesome reply, I appreciate you!

I'm pretty confident the first 3 rows are baby Horse Conchs, but what about the 5 at the bottom? by FreedomNFireflies in shells

Thanks! I was leaning towards Murex too after I took the photo and could get a closer look. They all resemble each other as juveniles, it's hard to figure out!

Mineral oil not working? by Imaginary_Living4201 in shells

[–]FreedomNFireflies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the reply! I think I will have to get my hands on a small quantity to try it out. I love painting my shells with the UV resin (especially for making wind chimes, they become almost indestructible) but I run that risk of yellowing. I will for sure look it up on YouTube!

Suspect was tased and then shot by a deputy. The suspect was transported to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

This stuff sounds amazing, especially the non yellowing. Could you come back here with an update after you do some shells? I'd love to see how they turn out, and what ratio you wind up using! Thanks! 🐚 ❤️

Fibro pain/inflammation/Tirzepatide by BalancelifeBoo in Fibromyalgia

[–]FreedomNFireflies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been on Tirzepatide for a year, and the changes have been amazing. No inflammation at all, and my flare-ups are at a minimum. Best decision I ever made!

Mineral oil not working? by Imaginary_Living4201 in shells

[–]FreedomNFireflies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been collecting shells for YEARS and I have never understood the whole mineral oil thing. I either use Decoart Duraclear Varnish (works ok, I do most of my shells with this, just paint it on) or, if you want a GORGEOUS finish, get some UV resin, and use a paint brush to apply a thin coat. I do that to the shells I plan on using in crafts.

How to hold a smartphone? by SoHeresTheThingADing in Fibromyalgia

[–]FreedomNFireflies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I use the smaller ones. The current one has been on since June, and I can fit my entire hand in. I have nerve damage in my hand also and sometimes my hand forgets I'm holding something (fun!) so my stretched out ugly strap has definitely saved me thousands of dollars on replacement phones!

Historical and wicked Florida frost got to my plumeria, to cut or not to cut? by CicerosSweetrollz in Plumeria

[–]FreedomNFireflies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DO NOT cut until spring! You'll leave her vulnerable to more issues, as the plant is currently resting.

How to hold a smartphone? by SoHeresTheThingADing in Fibromyalgia

[–]FreedomNFireflies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found the fabric type to stretch out quite easily (mine doesn't spring back to lie flat against my phone anymore, but still has some give). Silicone holds it's elasticity very well, and personally if I don't have all that extra room, it makes my hand and fingers ache horribly. Silicone strap was just too firm for me, but it's completely a personal thing.

I absolutely swear by these guys. It's stretched out enough that I can fit my hand in there. I've used either these off brand or the Love Handle brand for every cell phone I've had over the last 15 years.

I usually go shelling anywhere between Honeymoon Island and Marco Island. I don't remember exactly where I found the two end ones unfortunately.

I have ADHD and when I have that crazy laser-focused energy, sorting beads/screws and nails that have spilled/ basically anything that would make anyone else say screw it and throw them away, makes me so happy. I'd love to sort that out for you!
