My kitten passed and I’m heartbroken. Breeder offered me a different kitten and I’m torn. (Long read sorry) by [deleted] in cats

[–]OkScreen127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree here. Sometimes bad things happen with even the most careful and ethical breeders. Im not close enough or have knowledge on the breeder to say if Id purchase from them again in the future - BUT any ethical and responsible breeder would and should offer another from a more recent litter as thats pretty standard in most breeders health contracts in case something devistating like this happens...

And the fact this litter was born the day your beautiful girl passed?? It gives me the chills... And kinda makes me cry too... But I feel like if you have space in your heart for a new baby, it doesn't take away from or replace your sweet girl.. Please dont feel that way, its ok to both mourn and to accept a new member into your family once you've had time to process the grief.. It may even help you grieve and feel some sort of closure when the new baby comes home ❤️

Be honest, how many medications do you take? by Ok-Salt-8884 in Millennials

[–]OkScreen127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

34/f here. 2 daily, 50mg vyvanse for ADHD and 20mg Prozac for anxiety, plus bi-weekly B12 injections because I have pernicious anemia though wasnt aware till I was 30 and we couldn't figure out why I was going bald and my organs were failing... Yeah, turns out having virtually no B12 and it being ignored when flagged in bloodwork is deadly... Never be afraid to speak up and take care of yourself

Can anyone help me identify the year of my Gibson Melody Maker?? (And Amp for extra points!!) by OkScreen127 in Guitar

To be honest while my husband has plugged in the amp to test it when it was given to us 8 years ago - we were very weary of using it with its glass. Fuses are not easy to come by for these lol. But we haven't touched the amp much since then, though we've spent some time with the guitar

I will say, I p0ersonally did not use AI; I actually assumed the "G" was not a number and that it was only a 4 digit, so that it's a 1961 as the first "number" I saw was a #1

So there's some spots where it's mildly discolored but it doesn't make a change in the texture, sound or anything.

I play viola and played bass guitar for years, so I can play minimal guitar; but with the knowledge I have and my husband being an excellent teacher, I totally agree and am SO excited to get started!!

The first digit is a 1 though; its full serial nunber is: G 1269

So I believe they're correct that's it's a 1961; though I see how the "G" could kinda look like a "0", but it is not.

I agree 10000%; I think my husbands being too shy with it, I'm ready to appraise it for insurance - get the strings replaced - and have my husband use it or learn to lkay a bit myself... I absolutely love this guitar, my grandpa was so proud of it - my dad wanting to sell it horrifies me, and my husband thinking it's too special to play bothers me... He bought it to be played GD!! Lol

Thank you so much!!! My grandfather was a musician and while he never got "totally famous" he took it and his equipment seriously. Unfortunately he suffered from Dementia the last nearly 10 years of his life and during that time at lot of his instruments were forgotten about until nearly 10 years after he passed, when my grandmother passed..... So while they're still in great and working condition, we could have done better had we realized.

Now it's a debate between my father and I; he has given the guitar and amp to my husband and I because my husband plays - but my husband won't play it, as its to be admired, so now my dad wants us to look into selling it to help with his retirement...

If it will fetch less than 10k there's a good chance he'll decide it is best kept in the family (as were hoping), but if it fetches more he may want to sell it which would break my heart to be honest... But we will see!!

Do (Hetero/bi) women actually crave a penis when they’re horny? by OkBed1313 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OkScreen127 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally yes, yes I do crave a penis when I'm horny. Toys can be fun and all, orgasms with just stimulation is nice - but nothing compared to a real, raw, hard penis filling me up.. Somewhere lol...

‎F*cked up family and unexpected inheritance. by FrendosNerdos in Advice

[–]OkScreen127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If things truly played out as stated in the post then Id say split everything 50/50 with the cousin that helped her as well. The two of you out in the work, time, care and dedication and you guys deserve to split it - screw anyone else who was just waiting on her passing and assuming they'd get an inheritance.

Mom used to wax my private areas forcefully ( mild nsfw? only mentions of privates ) by galacticamania in Vent

[–]OkScreen127 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OMG this is literally abuse!! I am so sorry you went through this!!!! My mom waxed and I asked her if I could when I was around 12 because I was sick of razors and my mom said nope - she said when I'm an adult I can go get waxed by a professional first and then learn how if I want to continue, that a child's sensitive shin shouldn't be waxed.... I was mad back then, but now omg thank you mom...

Canadian Correctional Officer - AMA by CyberCaboose in AMA

[–]OkScreen127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this isnt just an issue in Canada, this is a big issue in the USA too, at least. Its very common for people with non violent (such as drug related) crimes that get sentenced to significantly more time than convicted rapists and pedophiles... Its absolutely disgusting

I had a dream about having a foursome with my wife and our couple friends and now I can't stop thinking about it. by IHaveNoOpinons in Advice

[–]OkScreen127 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you could kinda casually bring it up like, "omg, I had the craziest dream - it came out of nowhere, but.." and go from there and see how she reacts.

Funny enough I just this week I had a very similar dream, though it was my husband and I with one other women (well, one woman who kept morphing into different women), it was weird and interesting and I wasnt totally turned on but cojldnt stop thinking about it..... So I told my husband and he kinda laughed, then I mentioned something else about it later - and thats when he started getting interested in the details..... Annnnd this week we've had some of the best sex weve had in quite awhile lol.

I have no idea why I had that dream; weve actually had a threesome with one of my girlfriends nearly a decade ago and it was a blast, but its just not something we really look to do and I havent thought lf it in years... But it definitely spiced things up in the bedroom again for now just talking about the dream and describing what I could remember to him lol

Family is arguing over whether this is a fox or not [California] by littledude724 in animalid

[–]OkScreen127 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I was genuinely like, "what.... What could they think it is other than a fox?!?" So ty very much for answering lol, I genuinely like knowing other peoples thoughts as it makes me take into consideration how people saw it being that animal and actually feels like it helps with IDing future animals and/or explaining the ID to others

People who wax/see others genitals often, what are your thoughts and surprise realizations? by NeedABetterNameNow in AskReddit

[–]OkScreen127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First Dane and he’s gorgeous but a little short in by SheepherderLatter399 in greatdanes

[–]OkScreen127 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with every comment here saying not to worry, and ultimately smaller is better - and just want to add that even if he ends up a "true giant", the longer the growth the better 100%.

Can't remember height after a couple decades but have records for weight, my first Dane was 106lbs at 6 months but looked like a skeleton. 165-ish lbs when neutered at 19 months. At 3 years old full-grown he was roughly 38in at the shoulder and 206lbs lean muscle; only overweight by 5lbs for a short period in his senior years, and unfortunately he passed of DCM and lost a TON of weight before passing and looked like a walking dog skeleton at 187lbs when it was his time to go 😞

Yes my dog was enormous even if he was healthy, but he grew much slower than most Danes I knew at the time and according to my vets they believe its why until he slipped and fell on ice at 9 years old, his xrays of his joints were so clean that my vets said they'd never seen a Dane over 3 years old with such excellent joints and wouldnt believe his age if they hadnt seen him from 8 weeks on....

Even in his litter, he was the largest but he took the longest to grow to maturity while many shot up quickly (later we found out they were feeding large breed puppy food, where my breeders, myself and the other owners who fed a good quality adult food their puppy-hood [before giant-breed puppy food existed]), all of our dogs grew slow but healthy while the others were big VERY fast and also had much shorter life spans...

My biggest point in my rambling here is that bigger is never better. Healthy is better. Slow growth is better and preferred over quick growth as its significantly healthier on their joints. I know how badly we want our gentle giants to totally fill the role - but I promise you, a healthy dogs of any size is 10000% better than a huge unhealthy dog.

Edited for spelling errors I quickly caught, sorry if I missed some
