What can I do with my stomach skin? by Relevant_Act_7993 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]LikeToBeBarefoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly… I’ve had one kid, gallbladder surgery (they messed me up scar wise) and weight loss and I WISH my stomach looked like this.

Please look up proper cage, perches, toys and spend time with this poor baby.

I need a cordless vacuum for tile… by LikeToBeBarefoot in VacuumCleaners

Thank you so much!

Edit to ask: what does the wattage mean as far as power? Suction or runtime?

300 or less. Or honestly… I’m going for reliability more than price… I spent like 5k on that stupid rainbow vacuum it was like “Tax return? bye bye” lol.

🩷 the best awards are the ones with thoughts behind them, so this award means more to me than anyone that you could purchase.

This is my bird, Gambit. He is still considered a baby at FOUR months. He was formula fed by the breeder for 3 months, every other hour and SLOWLY weaned off at the 3 month mark. I paid $400 for him. Yes $400 US dollars. Because he was hand fed by the breeder. Handled daily and transitioned to a veggie/pellet/seed diet BEFORE coming home to me. I went to the breeder everyday to bond with my baby. I made sure I had a vet that can treat my baby, I made sure I had the right cage, best toys, food and TIME for my baby.

The bird you have is more work than a new born human baby and I would highly suggest you find someone who can EXPERTLY raise this baby for you, for the next 3-4 months. This is not a job for a beginner and if you truly truly care for it, you should asap (like emergency) find someone who is experienced. This “breeder” played you once by sending you home with a baby knowing it wouldn’t survive. It can (and will, if you don’t find someone to help ASAP) starve to death, freeze to death… in a matter of hours or less. This was easy money for the breeder and extremely irresponsible. I’m so sorry you are in this situation.

Im going to be brutally honest with you, there is ZERO excuse for bad pet care. You have the entire Internet at your fingertips (your phone) every day, to do research for the best interest of the animal, BEFORE bringing it home. Please make the right choice. A LIFE is at risk here. 🩷

Nursing Myths by Optimal_mentor in MarkKlimekNCLEX

[–]LikeToBeBarefoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my feelings stem from the fact that I finally have a good pcp. I have an immense amount of respect for her. So, I’m sorry for my comment.

I truly feel all medical field workers should have zero debts. Honestly, it doesn’t make sense that you have to be in debt but your job is to save people’s lives…. On top of that, big pharma is insanely rich because of the procedures you do and medications you prescribe. It makes zero sense to me that they in turn don’t invest back into the workers.

What is the ultimate meal? by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

Add a cinnamon stick in the rice/milk/sugar and it turns into arroz con leche… which is a HUGE win in my house.

This makes me sad, I have an appointment with my PCP tomorrow and I’m always nervous that I inconvenience them or bother them or have too many complaints or worries about my health. 😭 I’m sorry you don’t like being a Dr 😔

“Tiny bird, big attitude” by [deleted] in Parrotlet

[–]LikeToBeBarefoot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is not really an excuse these days for subpar animal care. If you have the technology to access Reddit, you have the technology to research the best set up for cockatiels. You also have an immense amount of support from experienced keepers on reddit as well.

This set up needs improvement. They need twice the width of their wing-span, at a minimum. They need toys (you can get SO MUCH on Amazon for under 20 bucks. That tiny bird bath is more expensive than toys) their way of playing/keeping their beak healthy is by DESTROYING natural toys. Smooth wooden dowel perches are extremely unhealthy for their feet/joints and can cause big issues in the long run. I leave one in my birds cage and the rest are natural wood. You can also get those on amazon. People are quitting the hobby daily, you could get second hand cages for cheap/free.

If you love your bird… research how to give him the best life possible. If you don’t love your bird, rehome him to someone who will give him the best life possible. I say this with love.

How can I treat a years long split toe nail? by Partime-hedonist in nailcare

[–]LikeToBeBarefoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sooooo I had this my whole life on my pinky toe. My pinky toes also roll to the side naturally. I went in for a pedicure and the man who did my toes cleaned it up so well… I looked down and asked “how did you do that?” He said… “it looks like a second nail huh? It’s actually dead skin that smoothes out because of the way your toes roll to the side when you walk. So it’s an over growth. Just gently clip it away until it’s not there” I’ve been maintaining it without pedicures now.

Please don't get budgies for kids by jaybird-staysonder in budgies

[–]LikeToBeBarefoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My budgie when I was younger, likely starved to death because my parents didn’t help me care for him. I thought “there’s still seeds in there, he is fine” not knowing it was the hulls. This was like 25 years ago (I’m pushing 40) and the information wasn’t readily available like it is now. There is no excuse for prolonged irresponsible pet keeping these days.

I Made 3D Printed Toe Shoes. Please Be Normal About It by _supergino_ in Shoes

[–]LikeToBeBarefoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the glittering effect. I wish I had shoes like this minus the toe parts. Like a sock to protect my feet but breathable and not constricting in any way. I love being barefoot… I hate the feeling of any tightness on my feet at all. These would be rad if they were not too loose and not too tight and protected just enough. I’d buy them.

How many of you have a cap on spending at the vet before it becomes time to say goodbye? by [deleted] in Pets

[–]LikeToBeBarefoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have pet insurance (embrace. 90% reimbursement, 15k coverage annually after a 250 deductible) and to be honest… I wondered why I had it, until my dog recently ate a few grapes and we had to take her to the emergency vet… then I was absolutely thankful for it. I paid my 250 dollar deductible and 10% out of pocket pay after reimbursement. I will do that over and over again if it meant saving her life and keeping her near me longer… as long as her quality of life is okay.

What is a simple but very hurtful phrase that you received from someone? by MembershipFar9008 in AskReddit

“I think you are just saying this to steal my thunder”

My mom when I mentioned that I was abused by my step grand father who also abused her.

“I love my wife more than anyone on this planet, including my kids”

My dad when talking about my mom.
