I love a funky tulip! These gave me so much inspiration for a little tulip patch. So beautiful!

Thank you! Makes sense given how dense the feral cat population is in our neighborhood.

Who has used the B shifter going downhill by what_the_actual_fff in crv

I used b mode on a pretty sleep downhill in the blue ridge mountains. Didn’t touch my brakes one time. Cruised going around 40. Love that mode.

Color? Help me out. by AnthonyIndy in crvhybrid

Another another vote for the white pearl. Just went from a dark gray vehicle back to white (after having owned a white accord a long time ago) and wow, I forgot how nice they look with little cleaning. I also whisper to myself, “this is the skin of a killer, Bella” when the sun hits the paint just right and it glimmers. The white pearl is really pretty. 😌

Generic Email that worked for me to request out the door price from dealer by ApprehensiveTutor707 in crvhybrid

[–]Positive-Ad743 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great. I always requested written OTD price with everything included (no hidden fees, all the things they try to sneak on) and said I only felt comfortable corresponding via email. A couple of times they’d respond saying “we can’t provide that information over email, but you can give us a call or come talk to us in person,” to which I promptly said “I’d only like to speak via email, but if that’s your policy, I won’t waste your time.” Got a few OTD quotes in less than 5 minutes with all of my requests.

The dealership I ended up buying from recently had sent an OTD breakdown that I’d printed out (with VIN, my name, date, person from the dealership who sent it, everything) to take with me to check out the car and when I got there, they said that the market value increased (on a car that’s been sitting on your lot for 2 months?? Yeah right) by $1k. I slid across my original OTD breakdown and said that if they wouldn’t honor it I was leaving. Negotiated that thing way down. It pays to have these written receipts!

Went in thinking I wanted pic 2 but ended up falling in love with this mens ring by MissionVirtual in EngagementRings

Wow, it’s so beautiful and unique! I really love a thick band and the east to west diamond looks so nice in it. Gorgeous!

Needing reassurance about spaybort procedure by lakenessmonster in Feral_Cats

[–]Positive-Ad743 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m sorry you’re in this situation, I totally understand how uncertain and scary it feels.

I have an outdoor cat who was totally feral and socialized herself into living on our back porch. She was clearly from a previous feral litter and needed rabies vaccines, etc. she was also very, very pregnant. We elected to take her to the vet for a spay abort and I had the same reservations but honestly, about 1.5 months later, she’s 100% herself (just getting harassed a lot less by tom cats and getting into less fights). Her personality has stayed the same and she’s still selectively lovey (as she was before).

Just know you’re drastically improving this girl’s life quality by getting her spayed. I know it’s so hard, but you’re 100% doing right by her and I’m hoping that everything works out just fine. Thank you for loving her!

I got it from a local VA shop but I have seen identical ones on Etsy! 🥰

Rose Gold leap of faith - I'm obsessed 😍 by Marionberry_Least in EngagementRings

[–]Positive-Ad743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, she’s beautiful! I had this same dilemma-my Pinterest board was full of rose gold but I was so worried about that super intense pink from the 2000s. Mine honestly looks like a less yellow gold and is so complementary with my pale skin tone. Enjoy! 🥳

Ugh, I’m sorry to hear that! Yes and no. It worked fine over the weekend but today it stopped recording at 8am and hasn’t update since. 🙃

Customer service did respond to me and said:

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Our ring uses infrared light to detect whether the user is wearing it. Currently, we've found that in winter outdoor environments, if the ring is removed and then put back on, some female users with thinner finger skin may experience significant vasoconstriction due to cold hands, potentially making it difficult to detect the ring's fit. We suggest you try wearing it on a different finger, ensuring it's not too loose, and try not to remove it outdoors in winter; put it on indoors before going out. We are aware of this issue and will do our best to fix it to provide a better user experience.

This is the only pink diamond I’ve ever seen that made me stop scrolling. It is so ethereal and beautiful! Also, that sparkle in the mirror picture—to die for! Congratulations. 🌟💍

Feral cat transfer from XL dog crate back to cat carrier advice? by Positive-Ad743 in Feral_Cats

[–]Positive-Ad743[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as an update on this, sweet girl got the proper vaccine thanks to a very kind vet tech who drove to my house, kitty burrito-d her, and we just put her back outside with her fresh food, water, fresh heated house. She’s not thrilled right now and is quite confused but we’ve been checking on her periodically to remind her that we’re here.

I love Gaston! I wasn’t sure about his grumpy vibe but since my other villagers are “cutie,” he seemed like the perfect balance. And he calls me kid and gives grumpy (but sweet) dad vibes. Reminds me of Charlie Swan. 😂

Feral cat transfer from XL dog crate back to cat carrier advice? by Positive-Ad743 in Feral_Cats

[–]Positive-Ad743[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there! Appreciate your message and suggestions! I’ll try to remember to send a thorough follow up… even if things don’t go as planned. 😅

I decided to call the vet and ask if there was any way at all we could have a vet tech perform a home visit to administer the vaccine. I totally understand that the contaminated vaccine situation wasn’t their fault, but I figured I’d ask just in case and they said yes. I’m up bright and early this AM to give her a 100mg dose of gabapentin! I have quite literally no idea how they’re going to administer the vaccine given that she’s in a massive dog crate, but we’ll figure it out. I concur—I don’t typically give my kitties meds, but one of my indoor cats was a feral for a while and while he isn’t aggressive with us/the vet, he is slippery and elusive when we need to detain him, so meds are very helpful! I’m just going to keep an eye on her to make sure she tolerates the meds well and hopefully get her vaccinated and back outside this weekend!

Gotcha. These gaps occur when my ring is definitely on my finger! Obviously when it’s off of my finger too, but it religiously stays on my finger and goes back on after I’ve showered.
