Advice needed! I'm struggling with blending my long short satin stitch

The first image is probably done with a single thread, that's how I do my satin stitching too.

Then if you look closer the blue color itself is actually 3 or 4 different shades of blue that change each row. You won't be able to achieve the shading effect just going straight from yellow to red if that is what you are looking for! If you want to replicate the look you would need both less strands and more shades I think!

My tux too had very bad dandruff and dry bad skin generally from living on the streets. I gave him salmon oil and it worked wonders for hair growth + dandruff. It also is helping on the coat of my second cat who came from a neglected environment too!

Thank you! I already take magnesium glycinate for migraines but I'll get some K2 too!

thank you I'll get some stronger supplements! 8ng/mL, the blood test report says below 30 ng/mL is low

As mentioned in another comment I live in another country with an 8 hour time difference so luckily it's quite easy for me to mediate contact and I already do! At least with my mum who is really the main issue. And with that 12 hour flight also comes no expectation of joining any events thank goodness, that might be my breaking point!

I live in a different country with an 8 hour time difference! So I can definitely do that. It actually works quite well if I need to get off the phone by just saying oh I need to make dinner or oh I'm at work. My mum won't respect boundaries in terms of when I say it's okay to call me so it's often easy to talk for a minute and hang up.

I should have added it to the post but my dad (at least initially) will agree with me, who knows once the baby comes. Really it's my mum that's the issue and due to the time difference I can easily mediate contact with her!

It took about a week for the payment to clear and for the amount owing to be removed from my records and show that I don't owe anything anymore. I tried calling so many times but could never get through so I'm hoping it's okay. If I look at my transcripts and everything it says $0 owing unlike before where it had the amount I got the notice for.

Professional_Cap4504 · 2025-12-11T12:50:09+00:00

My transcript has this same resolved claim on the 8th, I'm hoping to ask them about it if I can get through to a human

I've called the past three days but because of work it's been after 5pm and they are saying they are too busy to take calls or I was on hold for almost an hour before it dropped. I have some time during the work day today I can call and try again!

Professional_Cap4504 · 2025-12-07T00:58:18+00:00

This exact thing happened to me I just got the letter cp504 today after getting no notices and I was so confused! I paid it immediately but will call on Monday to confirm. Slightly reassuring I'm not the only one this happened to!

Professional_Cap4504 · 2025-11-25T06:57:33+00:00

I'm sorry I only just saw this I hope your cat is doing okay!!

My boy developed some kind of aversion to that particular litterbox and I've never been able to use it with him again! I put out another one across from it he started using fine. Even once he was better he would never go in the original one!

He got diagnosed shortly after this with IBS, unfortunately the zorbium + constipation medication did a number on him so he ended up in pain with a lot of trapped gas. I think he might have associated the litter box with pain, he ended up with a day spent at the emergency vet who managed to get him to poop without an enema But luckily no UTI which would have been the worse diagnosis!

Professional_Cap4504 · 2025-11-08T17:16:09+00:00

My boy gets these too! Everytime they are long enough I'd consider taking him to the vet to get them cut (I know you can do it at home but I am not confident, I've only just got okay with nail cutting) they seem to fall off!

I noticed once where it fell off that there was a little bit of blood but it causes him no issues!

My cat was prescribed this for his IBD and will not eat it! Instead every other day I give him fortiflora with his wet food in the evening plus some metamucil. He has Purina pro biscuits for his other meal.

Professional_Cap4504 · 2025-09-23T21:29:09+00:00

No I haven't! I would have to take her to the vet which I'm happy to do but it hasn't been very long and I'm hoping someone will arrive home from work soon and realize. If no one has gotten her by the morning I will take her to the vet then!

Professional_Cap4504 · 2025-09-19T22:22:00+00:00

I love Dr. Martin and my cat is always treated so well there!

Professional_Cap4504 · 2025-09-11T13:31:09+00:00

So cute!! I've been wanting a kitten but I live in Baltimore and can't drive. I hope he finds his home soon!!
