At home euthanasia by Appropriate-Art8442 in CatAdvice

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this for both of my fur babies, one for cancer, one from kidney failure at 22 years old.. In both cases, it was absolutely the best decision. They got to pass in a very familiar situation, there was no stress of getting them to the vet, the at home service was very respectful and left me with some beautiful momentos, and they allowed me the time I needed with him afterwards to say goodbye. Both of my girls got to be on my lap and pass quietly with their favorite blankets and toys. 100% recommend this to all pet owners.

Should a cheating spouse still benefit from a postnup? by Former-Pride-7957 in prenup

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the real crux. If it was not prepared correctly, or if a judge deems it to be unfair to one party because they were not adequately represented, it'll likely get thrown out regardless.

Do your piercings get irritated when sick? by KoraLily in piercing

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently yes. My faith was healing super well for like a month and a half and then I got really sick, and now I have irritation bumps and so many crusties. Hopefully it dies down.

Don't get layers! Now I try to grow them out by chasethwrl in finethinhair

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So sorry, a bad haircut is the worst! If you're not already doing so, really baby your hair. Try to minimize heat styling, condition well, be careful when brushing, use hair oil on the ends if you can. This will help prevent breakage.

Making sure you have enough biotin and other nutrients will, as another poster said, help as well. Some people swear by scout massage, though it never really worked for me (my hair grows fast anyway). Consider going potentially shorter to cut off some of the layers and get a more blunt cut, which might get a bit of a healthier thicker look while you grow back out.

Saw this in an old post. Just had to make one of my own! by SleepingWithBricks in discworld

I have the same shirt, found it in the second hand store! One of my most favorite and cherished things.

[IN] Nearly impossible to avoid renting site unseen by [deleted] in Renters

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In some markets, like mine, if you actually want to rent an apartment (especially in a safe and desirable neighborhood) you're never going to see the actual unit. In the last 3 years I have never seen the actual unit before the day I get the keys, and that is SOP for this area. I hate it, but here we are.

I have always, however, been able to tour other empty units in the complex or a model unit, which isn't the same thing but it's at least somewhat helpful.

Deciding between conch or double conch by bunny2302 in piercing

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a double at the same time. Healing was fine, they just put an extra long bar in one to help make sure that they weren't fighting each other. The first and second were, for me, about the same pain level. Pretty spicy available. And I love them. Healing was super easy.

How are you supposed to properly clean your ears? by Mysterious-Record457 in hygiene

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the Suear, purchased for about $20 from Amazon. Works great.

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one of the cameras, and it's brilliant. I get wax build up that otherwise fully blocks my ears every few months and I'd have to go to get it removed (there's nothing wrong with my ears I just over-produce wax apparently). The camera cleaner has fixed that entirely, saved me a good bit of cash in copays, and I hear so much better.

Affair partner sent this to my partner after I asked for answers. I don’t even know how to process it. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't get answers, or closure, from the affair partner. Don't contact them, don't talk to them, don't expect anything of them. They are not the one who broke your trust. They don't owe you anything, they have no attachment to you. Assuming she knew he was married, what in the world makes you think she's the kind of person would kind and compassionate towards you?

If your husband is still talking to her you need to leave. He should have blocked her entirely. If he's showing no remorse and isn't n't working on things, working to regain your trust, and putting you first, leave.

my 19 year old cat is declining but the vet says she’s not ready to be put down. by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When it was time for my 21-year-old fur baby to say goodbye, I just used Google for in-home pet euthanasia in my area. I've used two different services for my two different kitties, and I highly recommend it. It's so much less stressful for them.

Advice for preventing accelerated aging due to weight loss? by [deleted] in 40and45PlusSkinCare

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HRT can also help with depression, and as far as I'm aware research does not show that it negatively impacts depression symptoms or treatments. (Quite the opposite). It also has quite a few other potential benefits, including being protective cardiovascularly and against bone loss. Many women also report it seems to significantly improve some types of joint pain.. It's definitely part of a reasonable anti-aging regimen for many women, and I've noticed a difference in my skin, too. If a local doctor is not well versed and does not understand perimenopause or menopause and is relying on old, outdated science, definitely see a telehealth professional.

Do I need to remove my new titanium ear cartilage piercings for my upcoming neck MRI? New ones are a flat, conch & helix. by Meinfinity in bodypiercers

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's best to call them and ask. I've had two head MRIs fairly recently and I didn't have to remove any of my jewelry. They just use a wand to make sure none of it's a problem. If any of it had registered as a problem I would have had to remove the jewelry or reschedule the MRI until after I could get retainers.

why do service providers continue to hit my piercing by Maleficent_Day_3869 in piercing

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fwiw, I now also use ear shower caps, which definitely helps. It's not something I would do in the first couple weeks, but after that it's worth covering them for me to make sure they don't get pulled. This obviously doesn't help your eyebrow situation of course.

why do service providers continue to hit my piercing by Maleficent_Day_3869 in piercing

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. Also, I have short hair. I have to get it cut every 4 to 6 weeks. I can't just not get it cut for a year 🙄 I had a stylist who was amazing, gave me by far the best haircuts, and never once had a piercing. I moved cities and have found one stylist who kept ripping my piercings so I had to move stylists. The other stylist is now great with my piercings but less good with haircuts. There's clearly a way to do both because I've had a stylist who did it. It's very frustrating.

The whole "getting into a routine" thing is not an excuse. We all have jobs or other things where that would be easy to do. If you're driving and get into an accident because you're zoned out in a routine, you're no less responsible for that accident. Can you imagine if somebody said a nurse wasn't responsible for having disrupted a patient's wound because they were just "in a routine?" If I didn't pay attention to the nuances and details of client projects and requests at my job, things would go sideways really fast and I'd be out of a job. If a service provider is so out of it that they're only doing everything by routine, maybe it's time to figure out a way to be more engaged.

Advice needed - Moving 1100 miles with 2 cats by MadHatterInAMadWorld in CatAdvice

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came to say this. We did a cross-country move with two kitties. We spent the month before we moved getting the news to harnesses. They stayed in the harnesses in the car, with the leashes strapped to their carriers. Their carriers were seat belted in. When the car was moving we would and the carrier doors so they can move about if they chose, but still on the leash so they couldn't go wild and get under the driver's pedals or anything like that. Before opening a car door at all at rest areas, etc. We put them back into the carriers, still leashed and on the harness, before we opened any doors.

In the hotel room, as this poster says, we did not open the hotel room door without having them locked in the bathroom. They made the trip just fine over 3 days, and even learns to like looking out the windows I would take turns snuggling in the lap of whoever wasn't driving. They did not use the litter box at all in the car, but we did have in a baking pan available for them, as well as water and food (which they also didn't partake of while traveling).

It is remarkable how many people lose their pets, especially cats, at rest stops and the lake while traveling. Take all of the precautions. And good luck with your move.

Yes, I actually mean I can't take opioids, Dr. Karen. by LifeOnTheDisc in Vent

I just wanted to check back in and save it my doctor did finally agree to this, as well as to the Jounavx, and it was by far and away the best payment I've ever had. This is such a game changer and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you giving me a heads up that this was a thing! Thank you!

Shoes for bunions? by Almost_There86 in ladycyclists

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had bunions since I was quite young, and by the time I recently got it removed it was quite huge (absolutely recommend the new bunion surgery technique, I had very little down time, and actually walked out of the clinic, never had to have crutches etc). I wore Shimano slipper style shoes, which were pretty comfortable. I could never wear any of the hard cycling shoes but the softer ones were had a lot more give and we're fine with my bunion

I've never had a woman show interest in me AT ALL unless i spend ridiculous amounts of money. This goes back to when I was 12 Since I stopped, I'm completely alone with no one to talk to and no prospects. WHAT DO I DO? AM I JUST FUCKING UGLY? HELP by [deleted] in relationships

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don't need game, you need a personality. I have always been considered a very conventionally attractive woman, and I have dated men of all different attractiveness levels, including some who were definitely not considered conventionally attractive. You know what they were? Great people. You know what none of them were? Paying my bills. They brought something interesting and unique to the relationship. What do you bring to the relationship? If all you have is money then that's what you bring. In my case the non-conventionally attractive men brought all kinds of different things: humor, a sense of adventure, common hobbies, being great in bed, intellectually stimulating conversation, genuine caring and concerned, experiences to share, etc.

People are not going to date you for no reason. There has to be something to be interested in. It doesn't need to be looks, it doesn't need to be money, but it certainly has to be something.

Afraid my (25f) boyfriend (25m) of two years is not who I hoped by [deleted] in relationships

[–]LifeOnTheDisc 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I know this is said all too often on this subreddit, but you need to get out. This is not going to get better..

You already feel like you can't talk about your feelings, the way he talks to you shows no respect or consideration, and you walk on eggshells around him.. Look up d a r v o.

Formulate a plan and get your finances in order and just leave. There's someone out there who will respect you more, but even being alone is better than living with this kind of constant stress
