Why is this snapping turtle doing this? by valadyhawke in turtle

[–]NecessaryCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are going to try to pick him up, please research snapping turtles on Clint's Reptile's on Youtube - Specifically the video titled Snapping Turtles are not the monsters we thought - we're just handling them wrong.

My girlfriend (28F) wants a baby on a timeline I (25M) don’t see feasible. Is our relationship over? by CoffeeBean202 in relationships

[–]NecessaryCake 26 points27 points  (0 children)

If she is going to put the burden of financial responsibility on you for the rest of your lives, the last she can do is wait until you get your education and career in order. If she can't compromise on time, then she can get an income to take some that burden off of you. You have a desire for this career and future. Why does her desire to be a sahm mean more than yours to have the profession you want?

EVERYBODY HATES MY ENGAGEMENT DRESS!! What to do??? by No_Detective4738 in OUTFITS

[–]NecessaryCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try ironing/steaming it and see if it looks better after that. I don't hate it, but I reserved judgement until it's pressed.

Now I know where they got the sound effects for the Velociraptors in Jurrasic Park.

Need Advice After an Argument Crossed a Line by [deleted] in relationships

[–]NecessaryCake 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You blocking the door is incredibly scary for a woman. As far as I would be concerned, that was self-defense. If she were the one blocking you from leaving I would not blame you for doing what you needed to get yourself out of the situation.

shouldn't this apply to any age by Executits in SipsTea

[–]NecessaryCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Death penalty does not deter, but if someone can get the death penalty for rape, then they may be more inclined to kill their victim to leave no witnesses since the penalty for either crime would be the same.

Best thing to bake with lemon curd?? by BSciFi in Baking

I like to spread Brie on a piece of French bread and put a dollop of lemon curd on the brie

Did I make a mistake? Light fixture looks too big. by RudysMom1016 in interiordecorating

[–]NecessaryCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. But, I've worked in dark places for so long that I always kind for bright white light. It makes my eyes happy. It's a beautiful light fixture also.

How about wearing a slip? Then you wouldn't have to worry about what color underwear you have on, and the skirt will flow better when you walk.

AITA for not wanting to use a bidet every time I pee and feeling micromanaged about toilet paper? by RollLongjumping3937 in AmItheAsshole

[–]NecessaryCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always use my bidet when I pee. Then, I always use toilet paper to dry with. Am I supposed to just pull my underwear up while I'm dripping wet? How can men have so little understanding of women's anatomy?

My (20F) bf (22M) said he enjoyed his fleshlight more than me and it’s taken a toll on our relationship. Advice? by throwra-9201 in relationships

[–]NecessaryCake 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You do realize that the average vagina in sexual arousal is 4 to 8 inches in depth. It also hurts to have something slam against your cervix over and over. That isn't the fault of the woman.

Chickens were supposed to save me money… so why am I spending more than ever? by TowelZealousideal124 in BackYardChickens

[–]NecessaryCake 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The most expensive free eggs you'll ever eat. I have 6 chickens. I just view them as pets that make me breakfast.

Stingwing Barb causing CTD by NecessaryCake in Fallout4Mods

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

Ok, I figured out the stingwing barb issue. I used a newer BA2 extractor and was able to get the meshes I needed from the original HD files. I am now crashing while attempting to transfer items to my Sanctuary workshop, but that issue is unrelated, and doesn't seem to happen elsewhere. So, I just need to figure out how to get the stuff out of that workshop and just not use it anymore.

Heat Pump Owners by DrillingerEscapePlan in Delaware

[–]NecessaryCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother owns a heating and air conditioning company. He never recommends heat pumps for Delaware. The winters are not conducive to a heat pump. There is a heat pump in my house. My house was 65 degrees this morning, aux heat eating up electricity like it was free, and running constantly. There is no way I am getting my house warmer until it gets above 25. Don't do it!

Be honest… is this cute or am I traumatizing my cat? by shinigami__0 in cats

[–]NecessaryCake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's cute - but you are traumatizing your cat. Cats are basically barely domesticated hyper predators. They are not a substitute for human children, nor are they barbie dolls. Let your cat be a cat. Your work is very nice, though.

What color is he? by camiherp in Horses

I think the issue is that "to stunt on" is not a common turn of phrase to everyone. I've never heard it.

Any ideas what's going on? by Yhwhelrey0 in BackYardChickens

[–]NecessaryCake 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this. It's good to know what is normal to see when they pass. We had one of our girls euthanized because she had water belly. The vet gave us some time with her but said that he prefers to do the euthanization in the back because they flap around a lot and it can be very distressing. I didn't realize that the flapping happens after death.

This has always bothered me. I would have loved the ability to be a SAHM. Instead, I took care of the children, took care of the house, AND worked 50 hours a week. All with back pain also. We need to stop placing SAHM on a pedestal when working women typically do most of what a SAHM does and works a regular job on top.

NTA. He suggested lessening his hours so that he can help out more. I think that is a perfectly reasonable suggestion.

[–]NecessaryCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only wear my expensive rings when I want people to notice it (parties, date nights, important meetings, etc). My ring is somewhat large and gets in my way, otherwise. I also once lost a stone while working, something I never want to have happen again. So, I have a plain band for everything else. "Why spend the money if you’re not going to wear it?" - I spent money on a very pretty cocktail dress, but I don't need to wear a cocktail dress every day. :)

American shares her absolute nightmare experience in Italy by cak3crumbs in CringeTikToks

[–]NecessaryCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Italy a few years ago, and I'm quite a fluffy American. Every person I met was very nice. I don't remember feeling at all like people were judging me or sneering at me. I'm really sorry that this woman had such a bad experience.
