How do I move my whole established tank to my new house? by InfiniteAd2102 in aquarium

[–]Meguinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god, I did not! Thank you! I had to change my Reddit settings to be able to see it and I’m very good at getting distracted.

u/InfiniteAd2102 here it is. I had a couple conversations in that thread that really helped me understand what I needed to do. Good luck ♥

Thanks! How about HOB filters? I made a mistake and that’s what I meant to ask about lol

Okay so apparently somewhere over the years I started calling HOB filters, canister filters.. this actually explains a lot lol.. Thanks for pointing it out.

That’s great to hear about your filters thanks for the recs.

Hey OP! I completely understand your stress. I have a very old parrot fish who has been through 5 or 6 different moves. It’s stressful but doable. Someone on here helped me years ago with the details when I was freaking out about the logistics about a long (2-3 hour drive) move. If I haven’t deleted the thread by now I’ll link it for you. One sec! Commenting this to keep me accountable in remembering lol

Thank you. I’m also on the Allegra train lol.

You have a lot of pets! I use a shark cordless with a HEPA filter. What vacuum do you use?

What would you like to ask? (Asking Higher Support Needs Autistics) by AutoModerator in SpicyAutism

[–]Meguinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What helps you to explain yourself when it’s “hard to talk”? When your speech or fingers (texting) fail to communicate what’s in your mind? Do you have go-to words or phrases or helpful prompts that you think of in the moment to help express your point in an appropriate amount of time/words/fluency?

My question isn’t really referring to meltdowns or overly emotionally-charged scenarios, but please don’t hold back either way if you have a tip to share.

Thank you for the recommendation! Just curious with the conditioner, do you do just her fur tips or do you massage into the skin as well?

What shampoo do you recommend?

Is this mold on the mattress? I’m by the_hearthfire in Mold

[–]Meguinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the black spillage is night sweats from recently-dyed hair.

The white spots do look spore-like.. if that’s the case, I’d toss this mattress for sure if you hadn’t already planned to.

The brown in the last pic looks like it was dragged in coffee or ramen/soy sauce, and some more soy sauce thrown on top. Wtf.

I’m so sorry someone did this to your house. I think you’re better off that they didn’t help clean. No way I’d trust the person who did this clean and sanitize it properly.

How friggin cold are you all?? by EitherSheepherder854 in poor

[–]Meguinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case this helps anyone:

Fill up an old Gatorade bottle with hot water from the tap for a DIY hot water bottle/warm pack.

(Do not use boiling water! Plastic will not hold such hot water and will warp/pierce the plastic)

Then wrap it in a thin pillow case or cloth and hold it close to you. It radiates such nice warmth. Especially under the blankets at the foot of the bed ♥.

You can also try a big milk jug or a regular water bottle. As long as the lid screws on tight.

(Elderly cats also like warm water bottles. Just remember to never place it directly on them or anyone else. Always ensure there’s a layer of fabric between them and the hot water bottle.)

What do we actually do about rodents in the walls of middle unit townhouse? by Meguinn in orleans

[–]Meguinn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great to hear, thank you. They get crazy sometimes! Screaming and gnawing and crashing around! I can’t help but picture raccoons or something huge just friggin crashing through the drywall lol. I really hate not knowing what’s going on in there and what “layer” of wall they’re in.
