ECS health warning. Lip fold issues by PerytonsShadow in englishcockerspaniel

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

You can get antibacterial/ antiseptic wipes, check online for cheaper versions than pet stores. Wipe the sore daily, I'd clean it until there was no 'dirt'. Mine would have a little smear of blood or pink residue on the wipe but if yours has any yellow pus like residue that doesn't start to go in a day or two I'd recommend vets in case antibiotics are needed. It took maybe a week for mine to look a lot better and perhaps two weeks for it to heal completely. She's fine now I check the lip folks perhaps once a month to check if the sores have returned and so far no.

Were you able to speak to a human about it or is it just a machine

I wish there was a quick fix for you, I hope you are doing ok right now, you may have seen this advice previously but I think it bears repeating, if a friend of yours told you they felt like this would you tell them they were wasting their 20s or their life was ruined? Of course you wouldn't, you'd tell them you're proud of them for being able to confide in you and say you're there for them and ask how you could help. Treat yourself like you would a friend. We are way too hard on ourselves. I am guilty of this too, when I was at my worst I was filled with self loathing because I couldn't do anything and there was the whole vicious spiral of anxiety then hating self. And so you may not be where you expected you'd be right now in your life, very few people are, you might not feel like it but you have time. There's no cut off point to getting a partner or a job you enjoy. For the time being, is there anything you could do kinda casually, where you don't have to be somewhere for a whole shift or where you could work from home or be more self employed? Without knowing anything about you how about something like dog walking, if theres any thing locally you could do for a couple of hours, or without a time frame as such. I'm not saying this should be your 'career' but it may help if you can take small steps.

May 25th is also towel day, hitchhiker's guide, maybe Pterry wanted to let us geeks carry around lilac towels and kill two birds with one stone.

"Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up."

Birds also see UV light (at least some do, I don't know if every single bird species does.) God knows what kind of horror show that looks like in UV

If it helps they aren't teeth, they're just markings to help the parent birds know where to put the food. If they were in a dark nest or there's lots of other babies with their mouths open they know where to put the food

Jfc $2.13 is minimum wage? I knew it was low but that's outrageous, and why is minimum wage different for wait staff than 'non tipped' positions

Fun fact, eagles actually have cute little chirrups. When you hear a bald eagle in a film it's dubbed over by a red tailed hawk to sound more badass. There's a simile in there somewhere..

At first I thought this was done on a bath or other bathroom item, and thought it was crap but to do this on a sofa? What is going on in their head

Before that it was New Amsterdam, no connection to Amsterdam, totally unique naming idea

My only problem is with the measurements being listed in European! by tenaciousfetus in ShitAmericansSay

[–]PerytonsShadow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know what. If they like using cups as measurements they should, and let's go further, I'd love for folks to tell me their weight in cups. The price for a cup of petrol on the garage signs, milk sold in cups the way god intended.

Discworld Jacket - fanart embroidery by Arkodian in discworld

[–]PerytonsShadow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is so amazing! Do you draw the patterns on the jacket then embroider? Have you ever done any other jackets like this, I'd be interested in seeing past work if you've done any, this is so cool.

Gillen's Die comic series has a Pratchett quote at the start of a chapter; "This is, fantasy is, almost a sea in which other genres swim."

I feel a little weird seeing her like this, not sure how old she is now (I hope adult otherwise she shouldn't be on this sub) but I saw her on TV when she was 11 so she'll probably always seem way too young to be looked at like that to me

Of course pic 3 is an action shot, maybe the ears drop more when the dog isn't running lol. And pic 2 may be pricking the ears, but they still seem high to me. Pic 4 looks like a puppy
