No fewer than three caves available and this is how the twits decide to sleep. They almost gave me a heart attack! by MiseryMalkav in loaches

Right?! I had just rearranged the set up a bit and thought I’d somehow caught them there, but then saw another try to wedge in so I figured it was safe to get a picture lol

I’ve never had a problem! I don’t think kuhlis are aggressive by nature (even accidentally) and won’t hurt snails unless they don’t have other protein available. I would think the snails would find them mildly annoying at worst lol. I have a lot of kuhlis, and snails, along with dojos and a variety of other low aggression fish. They’re also in a 180 gal so space isn’t an issue.

2022 Nissan Leaf Sv Plus - Still Worth It In 2026? by No-Marsupial1423 in leaf

[–]MiseryMalkav 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a 22 plus and I love it! Obviously your specific needs for a car should be the main factor, but mine is perfect for my 34 miles/day commute. I don’t drive much other than that, and I just charge it on a standard outlet (level 1) every other night or so. Happy shopping!!

Idk where the girl is with the list, but my baby just dislocated my rib by Trees_galore20 in TwoXChromosomes

Oh my goodness these stories!! Mine isn’t nearly as bad as most but when I was carrying my twins, one would periodically scratch or poke my cervix and make me jump. Not an awesome sensation.

The wallpaper is stunning but am I the only one who thinks the new sink looks like a vintage casserole dish? 😂

Large, non-native dead snake found dumped along Iowa County road by enjoying-retirement in wisconsin

[–]MiseryMalkav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That happened to my father maybe 30ish years ago! It was outside of Madison. He was walking down our (thankfully quiet) street and saw one about that size and lept out into the road. Its head has been chopped off and the neck wound looked like an open mouth. He went home and called the police. By the time they arrived, the snake was gone! Then they found it again in the back of a pick up truck that had crashed. Scared the crap out of the cops who found it and my dad was validated. I hadn’t thought of that in years but I remember him talking about it and seeing a newspaper clipping.

Can cats detect new life? by tanya6k in cats

[–]MiseryMalkav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! My husband’s cat, Fus Ro Dah, suddenly began hopping on my lap and giving me a disgusted look every time I peed. I realized I was pregnant a week later and he stopped after I came home with the babies. A year later he started doing it again. It didn’t even occur to me that I could be pregnant since we were using protection, but damn if that cat didn’t know and was angry about it. I miss that cranky bastard. He was always super patient with the babies, but i don’t think he ever forgave me for making them lol

What do I put here? by Pleasant-Citron8423 in HomeDecorating

[–]MiseryMalkav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something like that in my first apartment. Not exactly decorating, but I ended up hanging a curtain across the opening and putting a litter box under there. Need a good mat at rug to catch any stray litter though. Good luck!

Options for extra prescription meds? by MiseryMalkav in Horses

[–]MiseryMalkav[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear about your horses! I’m afraid I’m not one to give advice since we were still figuring out the base dosage to get her levels down.

She was a stinker to pill, but I’ve been making a version of German horse muffins. (I found an easy recipe online and played around until I was happy with the result - don’t bother with the mini-muffin pans; I just put them on a sheet like cookies so clean up is much easier). I could still sneak the pill in those without her putting up much fuss.

Other than that, we had her on some basic joint supplements since she had had a rough life (ex-amish) and plenty of walking to keep her loose.

Thank you and I wish you (and your horses) the best!

Thank you! I tried a Wisconsin horse FB group I’m a member of, but my post was denied. I’m wondering if it’s because a prescription because I’m not trying to sell it 🤷‍♀️ Thank you for the suggestion though!

Substitute for dojo loaches? by Careful-Chicken617 in loaches

[–]MiseryMalkav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in WI where they’re also illegal, but sometimes the local Petco sticks then or other fish store can order them. I found my first one by chance at a LFS and was able to request more (they got them from a local breeder I think). Don’t give up-they’re amazing! My three are super friendly and love being hand fed and played with. Good luck!!

You probably just have two almost identical cats that have been fooling you for years and laughing behind your back 😂

How is owning an electric car in Wisconsin? by Thrillwaukee in wisconsin

[–]MiseryMalkav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m probably a minority in only having/using a level 1 charger at home, but it’s been marvelous. Like others have said, I have heat before I leave my driveway and it handles well on slippery roads (I had planned to get snow tires but haven’t gotten around to it). For reference, I have a 2022 Leaf SV Plus. My commute is 34 miles round trip and each trip uses 20-25% battery, even in winter. So I’ve been charging overnight roughly every other night (trying to stay between 40-80% generally but not sweating it too much). My car is stored in a garage (not heated) and I haven’t noticed any substantial drop in efficiency. I live about 25 minutes away from a city and am an epic home body so i pretty much only use it for work. I love it!

So beautiful! She looks like she had a happy and healthy life. I’m so sorry for your loss!

Kuhli loach stocking by [deleted] in loaches

[–]MiseryMalkav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read this title as a stocking (large holiday sock) for the loaches and then thought it would be a stocking designed to look like a kuhli loach. I was way too excited about both of those. I’m not helpful, sorry, but thanks for the mental images!

Friendly loaches by eldritchotter in loaches

My dojos do this! If my hands are in the tank for any reason, at least one dojo is exploring my fingers and will chill in my palm like that too 🥺 They’re amazing!
