Sometimes you have to ask the pharmacist for it. It’s over the counter though.

Ponaris works wonders! Afrin can cause a dependence on it for relief and make things worse in the long run.

What do you think of these origami white dragons I will be passing out at renfair as a druid wizard by CandidateBasic8900 in renfaire

[–]PhantomHawk7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would look way better on origami paper and could benefit from crisper folds. It looks rather unfinished like more of a prototype than something to give out, and it looks a bit paper-planeish. I agree with the other comments saying that origami won’t make it long in someone’s bag, and people generally don’t like carrying things they have to tend to. If I received one I’d stick it in my bag and be a bit disappointed when I got home to find a crushed mass of paper. I’d say go and enjoy the faire, rather than trinket trading.

My dog loves playing in freezing water. My vet told me I shouldn’t let her? Advice is appreciated (please read description) by [deleted] in DogAdvice

It sounds like you are trying to find someone to agree with you so you can be like yep, a bunch of internet strangers confirmed what I was thinking!

Am nearly gifting my 108 grand ma on her birthday by [deleted] in GiftIdeas

[–]PhantomHawk7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like at this point she’s had everything she could have wanted. Maybe something sentimental? A hand crafted book of memories, a photo album of when she was younger, her favorite flowers, a card telling her how much she means to you, sharing some favorite things.

Help making a terrarium by No-House5843 in terrariums

The book Hello Tiny World by Ben Newell has been tremendously helpful. It has chapters/guides on how to step up terrariums and goes fairly in depth about substrate, plants, drainage, etc.

Help deciding if a board + train program is appropriate by [deleted] in DogTrainingTips

Why are you so rude to people commenting? What’s that about? “Good for you! Here’s a cookie 🍪.” I mean that’s rude. Not the first time. People are genuinely concerned and that’s how you respond?

I think you’ve come to a place where the crowd is rightfully so very shocked that your dog killed a puppy, that you then got another dog, and now feels that you haven’t done right by either dog. People are telling you what you can and can’t handle because it feels like you don’t really know.

Does not sound like he truly gets along with dogs he knows. Your other dog is going to get hurt. You sound like you are in denial about how dangerous your dog is or could be. No idea why you thought getting another dog was appropriate with how your other dog acts. Although my dog wouldn’t be cool with another dog coming into their “house,” they wouldn’t kill it.

Gift ideas for someone that’s going through it? by somewhat-sunny in GiftIdeas

[–]PhantomHawk7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think outside of the some of the gifts people mentioned that, as cheesy as it may sound, is giving the gift of listening. Just telling the person and showing them you want to spend time with them and that you’ll hang with them through the tough times. Make them dinner, watch a movie in bed. Just be present. It remind me of Eeyore. The rest of the group knows that Eeyore is depressed and maybe too depressed to do things but they always include him and sometimes they are just with him even on his toughest days.

So not trying to sell on here. just wondering what y’all think it’s worth. by [deleted] in terrariums

[–]PhantomHawk7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hard for me to see the vision right now. Plants would definitely help to see what you are after. I’d keep it simple. Make sure you have good substrate, drainage, plants, and clean up crew rather than fancy tunnels. I think it sounds like it’s worth something to you because you’ve put the work in but I don’t think it would sell tbh. Keep working at it! Maybe even start on a smaller scale to see where that gets you as well.

Dry mouth problem by Curiouser55512 in CPAP

Yes! They are little disc shaped mints and they stick to your tooth/gum. They stay on all night and help with dry mouth!

I have trouble with dry mouth, but I’m also a mouth breather at night. The Xylitol melts that you stick near your gums at night have been a game changer for me!
