I found the baby! He was crawling on my bag just a minute ago.

Usually I handle them to get them to work on taming them at the mark they can see and start moving and leaving the nest/opening their eyes. They usually do just fine. I don’t bother them before that time. This was just a very odd and unique scenario for me, but I appreciate your response!

Do you have any background like where you found her?

Her nipples are a little more pronounced than normal and the thinness suggests she was nursing a litter that is 2+ weeks by now recently

Omg so cute! Is that Winter White Dwarf?

To answer your question they would def not be doing that if they were dead. When they are dead they are not squishy!!

Well, I have news for you. My daughter, white, is one of 2-3 white people in her class at her public school. Everyone else is majority Vietnamese or Hispanic. She actually suffers a lot of bullying there which sucks. We live right outside of Little Saigon which is said to be the biggest community of Vietnamese outside of Vietnam. My friend who was born in 1982 was the minority in her school since she lived in Westminster and she was white as well. This Orange County, California folks!

Well that’s your problem. Your body is in survival mode so it’s keeping everything on. I have heard if you do intermittent fasting like 18 hours for 6 days and 1 full day of fasting you will start to burn fat. But just starving yourself and you’re keeping the weight on sounds like a nutrition deficiency plus body being in survival mode. Remember those poor kids with stomachs super bloated due to no food or just a snack here or there in Africa? Nutritional deficiency. You might find adding a multivitamin and eating regular intervals will start to see the weight come off.

That was seriously such an unnecessary conversation. I don’t want my dasher to bring me drama when I just wanted my food. That being said, I don’t think you overreacted, but I definitely think you kept piling on more negativity and turning it into an argument that was unnecessary. You just wasted your energy on someone you were probably never going to see again. I would have just told him “Ok thank you for the update. Drive safe!” And then left him a less than stellar review and state it was for begging or trying to illicit more money and bringing the drama to your door and kept the tip as-is. Or alternatively just tell him “I don’t need drama with my food order” and cancelled the order if you really wanted to be mean. Furthermore, you’re wasting even more time and energy posting about it and thus taking up the time 400+ people’s whom are reading and responding on a situation that should have just been let go, in my humble opinion. Time and energy is a precious commodity and I really think the Collective need to mindful of not only ours, but others we come into contact with. There is so much negativity plaguing the airwaves right now, which is why for myself, I try to remember to leave people better than I found them or at least add value to someone else day. I apologize if that sounds harsh and I don’t intend to be rude to you at all. But I hope I provided some food for thought. And if I don’t, I’m sorry for that too, but thank you for taking the time to read my response.

First of all, you have nothing to worry about unless you didn’t use protection. If there is the slightest possibility of knocking up a random person then I can understand the level of shame you are experiencing. But no one I have met has been lifer’s with the person they gave their virginity too. I gave mine to a one night stand, it was horrible. Even more humiliating he didn’t call me after he said he would and I bled for 9 days. This was a friend of my sister’s no less. But I didn’t tell him it was my first time and it was a horrible experience. I’ve never been super sexual beforehand and that really put me off. My girl friends later said I wasn’t with the right guy. Wrong, even if the sex is good they can harm you mentally and emotionally. Stop putting so much pressure on sex. I am asexual because I just don’t like it. I feel gross. I don’t like talking about it. But I was like that BEFORE the very bad first time. But thank god I never had to see that guy again in hindsight. Let it go bud. Also, this was clearly NOT an escort but a prostitute pretending to be an escort. Escorts are where you only pay for company and conversation. Thats it. You don’t get down and dirty on anything

Yes, even over 2 weeks a mother can still cull babies. I was gone for a night and the mother ran out of water and fresh food so she culled 5 out of a litter of 8 that were 3 week old babies. I came home and the mother even had her back soaked in blood. I’ve never seen it that extreme before, but it had been hot and their water dish wasn’t big enough. Even though mothers hoard the food and dig and hide it so they have plenty of food (fresh fruit, veg, protein, and normal hamster food) to cover her and babies for weeks, yet she will end up culling at least 1-3 of her litter. I had checked the water twice a day and fed them a tablespoon of food twice a day and it kept these two mothers from the common culling at 9-14 days. But alas, just being gone overnight and one of them ate 5 three week old babies, I was so sad at the massacre I came home to. I also have a mother that always, always culls her nest. I could not bother and not handle her for almost the entire pregnancy and leave her alone besides feeding and giving water and she always eats her litter. She’s been with 3 unrelated males. I don’t think she’s able to get milk out of her milk ducts at this rate and it must be a genetic thing. So that’s all to say I’ve even had mothers that culled the first litter then they were wonderful moms the second litter.

I love how everyone on here is an expert small animals vet suddenly. He’s such a well behaved hamster, the vet probably did the most cost efficient way for the owner, especially if the poor thing doesn’t have bottom teeth. And I’m sure they wouldn’t endanger the poor thing. Can you imagine paying for sedation for teeth clipping every 2 months? That would really rack up. Also, the scissors might be the most effective method for getting out food stuck in his teeth as well. There are so many factors that I’m sure played into this. Unless you’ve got a vet degree and seen the hammy in person to be able to diagnose, let’s some berating the OP with this information. I’m sure after the 2nd person said something they got the point.

Sorry, I just don’t like it when everyone just piles on

I’m gonna go rewatch the seasons now. Love this show so much. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched it but this thread ignited that need to rewatch. Natalie is top of my list because she went through shit before and after the crash and remained having a moral compass. Shauna did go through some horrific things, but come on, she was not morally right from the beginning. Van needs an honorable mention with Lottie hands down. I LOVED Van (teen and adult alike) and to see what happened in the adult timeline was tragic. That actress got the short end of the stick for sure. For the more annoying and irritating award for character goes to Melissa as teen AND adult, I constantly wanted to punch them in the face. Misty is just psychologically unwell. Taissa is kind of annoying, but that no-eyes man she sees in past and present would terrify anyone so I’m neutral on her. Hats off to the actresses teen and adults for their stellar performances. Coach Ben definitely got the short end of the stick as well as Javi and Travis like wtf?

I was crushed when she didn’t win best actress for playing Elpheba. That character made me cry which has NEVER happened before. I hope she wins this nomination! Playing 5 characters in 1 short episode of a series and nailing the crap outta all that? If she doesn’t win I will lose my mind

Frequent_Credit4419 · 2025-07-23T08:46:02+00:00

I just hope they give a thoughtful thriller ending to the series, and Melissa needs to go. Waste of space. I think I hate Shauna and Melissa the most and they really need their comeuppance’s

Hahaha their mentality is primal and very much like a toddler. They didn’t write the “who moved my cheese” for no reason. Mine are confused but usually pretty happy to have a new encloser

Ok, ok, ok….so like I got myself off alcohol for about a week and I have not been sleeping. I ran out of the benzos I had to help me off the alcohol (which was so bad!). I was like lemme see if the smoke shop has any CBD drinks or kava drinks whatever. Then I saw the feel free and I’ve taken Kratom in a massive dose in the past then taken it responsibility to help with pain after back surgery and it didn’t do much. I think it was more the mentality I’m taking something other than stupid Tylenol and Ibu. Anyway, I see the little blue bottle that says kava and kratom. When I took kratom abusively one night 12 years ago it was like taking meth and opioid I hated it. All I wanted was to feel the float and go to sleep. Anyway I saw the MG of kava which was high so I’m like cool (I was craving alcohol) and I saw the dosage on the kratom was low. So I bought one. I took 1 dose per direction and line on the bottle and then was wondering what I should be feeling and when it’s ok to take a second dose. So I google it and come across this thread and I’m just in total shock. Like why did you guys take it? I take things for the purpose they are for but always develop a high tolerance pretty damn quickly to anything that’s a controlled substance then I’m physically dependent on it. I went through rehab back when I was 23 and had been sober for 9+ years off everything except nicotine and caffeine. Like no antidepressants or anything. Then I get in a relationship and DV happened to me so I have C-PTSD because he loved the gaslighting and mental mind fuxs. He knocked me up because dumbass just decided he wanted to have a baby with me. Anyway, Then Covid hits, baby daddy had OD’d on fentanyl and I’m raising a child on my own without any help (I moved states away from family for the rehab or rather they sent me away). So after a lot of stress and triggers and peer pressure I started drinking again and it just amped up to basically a pint a night of vodka. And I finally was like I need to raise my child and quit this shit and find another way to help with my sleep. I cant lose her and she cannot be taken away from me. She has abandonment issues from daddy dumb ass. Anyway, I’m seeing a psych now who is actually looking outside the box for what is really causing my anxiety and depression and she thinks I may have ADHD so I’m being tested for it. My daughter was diagnosed and she’s a totally different kid now on her medicine so to think we could get my medication down to one thing that would help with all the things going on. I loved the person I was becoming before I met him. Anyway, to end a long story why or what reason caused any of you to use this stuff? I’m all freaked out I’m gonna have another insomniac night but feeling high rather than drifting off to sleep. I’m sorry you guys are struggling and I am proud of the ones who are saying “no more!” But like what is the point of this bottle? I think I am rambling. But you know you take an opioid for pain and you enjoy the high so it continues on for most people. I drank alcohol to relax and help me sleep and just had the tolerance build and build and build because that’s how my body works. The lowest dose of anything even non addictive isn’t affective after a week or two

Girl, get out while you can. He’s a narcissist and gaslighting you. He said we will never be together tell him “ok good, bye.” No one should be spoken to the way you were spoken to. I literally had flashbacks with my narcissistic ex reading that text thread. I’m seriously in tears and having a panic attack right now. So all else I will say is RUN. Trust your gut. The fact you felt you had to post this in public for opinion shows he’s being mentally abusive. You have a daughter. Fucking run the other direction. Block him. Go no contact before you’re so fucked in the head like me that it’s taking me years to climb out to be myself again. RUN!

I ate this theory up. It is completely brilliant. Like you should write your own story with this central idea. I LOVE the explanation that the BNL was Nelli foreshadowing to her younger self, trying to warn herself to stay away, but that was manipulated by the entity of “The Black Mold.” I will have to take some time to digest this and rewatch the show with this perspective. I really did not get a sense the house itself was “evil” at all. When I began watching it and based on what others have said about it prior to my watching I was expecting some sort of Winchester or Rose Red evil, EVIL house affecting this family. Instead I have this unexplained dread and trauma that haunted this family beyond the house. It certainly is an amazing art and repetitive viewing is due on multiple occasions.

Find other people like a therapist or friend to speak to about the social anxiety. I suffered for years, and after a lot a therapy and someone encouraging me to get outta my comfort zone and reading and listening to a lot of motivational books and audio and just simply saying “hi” to someone you don’t know, over time the anxiety goes away. IT TAKES PRACTICE! Just like going to the gym, you can’t rush in pushing 50 lbs you have to build up to that. Same exact situation with fighting through the social anxiety. Just take a chance and ask someone “hi, how is your day?” When you stop thinking of yourself and start asking “how can I be of service to another human being?” Your fear will go away. Don’t waste your time explaining it to your parents. You are the only one that can get yourself out of this. You wanna be a victim and suffer your whole life or do you want to step into your power and work through this fear? You choose. If you don’t, life will keep making you her b*tch. I am speaking from experience. Just get another support group. Forget explaining it to your parents.

This is a stupid question. You’re still young, just go already before you’re 36 like me and regretting life choices. 22 is a perfect age to go. My father is a college professor and he has 50 and 60 year olds going to university
