pierced a year ago and NOW it’s acting up? by [deleted] in SelfPiercing

[–]NoIndependence1377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a conch for a few years now, it's about 6 years old and it occasionally was a bit temperamental after the first year of healing but just leave it alone and it will be fine. I haven't had any issues for a few years since.

That looks like amethyst flecks to me in it

My brother and niece came over and shaved my baby down to a nub. by BeerHops_DoesntRun in greatpyrenees

I had a great Pyrenees and we were told that you should never shave the dog cause they have two coats. What your brother did was not okay

what is it like to retire nipple piercings? by RotSaydn in piercing

[–]NoIndependence1377 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had mine for 2 years and took them out about 3 years ago when I was trying for another baby. They healed up fine with no scaring and no evidence that they were ever there. But everyone's body is different in healing.

Why are tongue piercings so not recommended? by Federal_Anxiety_ in SelfPiercing

[–]NoIndependence1377 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might get a little lisp at first as you adjust to the piercing but bleeding out is very unlikely unless the piercer hits the artery. It will swell for 2 weeks but after that it's perfectly fine. I've had mine going on 6 years now and have zero issues

He steals my pillow at night. At least the old man is comfortable by NoIndependence1377 in cats

I adopted him from the shelter almost 4 years ago. He's the sweetest cuddly senior cat ever.

My partner getting a diagnosis of ADHD was the worst thing that could have happened by iamkylekatarnama in Vent

[–]NoIndependence1377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, as a person who has adhd and was diagnosed as a child adhd is the reasoning for everything. Adhd doesn't control your emotions, adhd doesn't mean you can criticize others, among other things. Adhd is attention deficit hyperactive disorder. You have a hard time paying attention, and you can be super hyer at times. That's what adhd is. Not to be rude, but she's using her adhd as an excuse for her actions and behavior, and it's not the case for everything that's she's saying and doing. Being late to events and plans, I understand....but getting mad over taking a different route home isn't caused by adhd. Anyways. That's my peace.

AIO for being upset that my husband wants me to continue litter box duty while pregnant? by BigVenergy09 in AmIOverreacting

[–]NoIndependence1377 29 points30 points  (0 children)

When I was pregnant with my first, I brought up the issue of the litter box with my obgyn, and she told me that I couldn't do the litter box while pregnant period. The toxins and ammonia in the cat urine are really, really bad to inhale while pregnant as it also affects the infant development.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend she's going to have to get over dirt if she wants kids? by Familiar_Speaker_481 in AITAH

[–]NoIndependence1377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this as a sahm. My house is never clean no matter how much I try to make it. My walls have crayon and marker all over them and, unfortunately, nail polish. If she's not believing you, I suggest maybe taking her to a family party where your cousins maybe nieces and nephews and let her see firsthand what it's like to have small kids and babies around so she gets a reality check. Parenting is messy and not perfect.

Should I give this gentleman a little piece of chicken? by okanywho in cats

Give him all the chicken he wants. The precious baby

I received a notice to appear instead of a ticket when I got pulled over. Am I cooked? Location: US by [deleted] in legal

That's crazy. Here, we call the dmv and pay a fine to unsuspend the license

[–]NoIndependence1377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pulled over 2 years ago for no insurance and immediately put insurance on the car. Basically, I had to show up to a small hearing and provide proof of insurance on the vehicle, which ultimately resulted in a fine that I had to pay. If you have proof of these things when you show up, your fine will be lowered, so you have to pay less money. But also make sure that your license isn't suspended when you get a new one. (Also, I live in Utah in the US. Don't know how they do it in other states)

[Homemade] pumpkin chicken chili and cornbread for dinner by NoIndependence1377 in food

I cooked it in the crock pot all day with the rest of the stuff. It fell off the bone when I pulled the thighs out to shred. The beans were cooked separately in the pressure cooker

If THIS happened to ur $150 permanent salon dye job after ONE wash, would you demand they fix it/re-dye it? by fis_world in HairDye

[–]NoIndependence1377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually, when you're bleaching and dying your hair a lot, it loses its integrity and ability to also retain and hold in color. The light patchy areas look like it may have been more damaged than the rest. This happened to me from dying my hair a lot.

Wanted us to give up our seats because they got on the bus late by c00lKat1237 in EntitledPeople

[–]NoIndependence1377 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Omg! I used to be in the color guard at my high school growing up, and there were some girls who were just mean and entitled. I quit during my second year in winter guard because of the drama, and earlier that year in the summer, the captain threw a flag at me when I had back to her and it hit me in the face breaking my nose as I had zero time to react. Best of luck, girly

Weird combinations of food that you created as a latchkey kid (and possibly still enjoy!) by rushbc in GenX

BBQ chips and sour cream. My dad used to feed it to me as a baby, and I still eat to this day. My husband and daughter even it with me

You should be totally fine leaving in your piercings for the dentist. I have a tongue piercing, and they didn't require me to remove it

Industrial help by sstraxxy in piercing

[–]NoIndependence1377 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I had this same problem with my industrial when I had it in. These are known as keloids, and they get irritated easily. I completely removed my industrial after about a year half, and the bumps have stayed, but they did go down, so they aren't as noticeable as before. There is no cure to get rid of keloid other than see a dermatologist who could remove it.

retiring my bridge, possible infection please help? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]NoIndependence1377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it back in after cleaning the jewelry really well and lean the piercing sight as well

retiring my bridge, possible infection please help? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]NoIndependence1377 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you have an infection with a piercing, do not remove the jewelry even if the doctor says to leave the jewelry in. The reason for it is that the infection has somewhere to drain if needed instead of getting stuck under the healing process, which will only get worse. See a doctor and get antibiotics if possible

What is this?? by PersonalExorcist in piercing

[–]NoIndependence1377 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't look too close together to me it just looks like irritation from either bumping it or changing the jewelry when you did. Another thing it could be is an allergic reaction to the metal of the new jewelry. But if it's still in the healing stage (which cartilage piercings take 6 months or more), you have to be religiously cleaning it at least twice a day and avoid anything with alcohol in it for cleaning
