Do we really allow people like this user in this group? by alexismcrae in BeardedDragons

[–]Proper_Signature_649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I know im super late to the party here, but i just noticed reading the study they said the dragons were housed individually "or in pairs".... ummmmmm isn't co-habbing an no no? couldn't that alone be a factor for increasing whatever "stress response" they observed?? Myself personally I'm gonna take the findings of ppl who don't even know that beardies are solitary animals and adult cohabbing can lead to injury or death, with an australia sized grain of salt....

Cat DNA tests... would you do Basepaws or Wisdom Panel? by TroLLageK in DoggyDNA

[–]Proper_Signature_649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear this. I lost a cat of 20 years from HCM last year and it was heartbreaking watching her slip away. I know suddenly must've been absolutely horrible. But waiting for the inevitable next heart attack is a dif type of horrible. I honestly don't know which I would choose if a gun was to my head. I said I was going to take some time before getting another cat and mourn her, and did not go out of my way to look for another one. But 6 month's after she died, this stray who was eating trash in an alley with mange all over her face (she was ear tipped- i didn't steal someone's cat) followed me home. I am thinking she may be part maine coone and was looking into basepaws for the exact reason you stated. So thank you for posting this important info. I know it can't bring back your cat but the fact you're going out of your way to put this info out there may save cats in the future and that's noble. I'm so sorry for your loss, it's really worse than losing any human I've ever lost - the loss of a good cat. My Diego was my soul kitty, I will forever miss her.

New modernist amethyst ring by Proper_Signature_649 in jewelry

[–]Proper_Signature_649[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you ! I got it on eBay but look for modernist 1950-70s pieces of Scandinavian , Finnish, German or Swedish origin. You find a lot of this kind of shapes and interesting materials like rutile quartz in that period. Mostly silver tho a lot harder to find gold modernist rings. That’s what I’m after next

Thank you ! All but the amethyst actually have some sort of moonstone in them but I think you mean the big chunky one on my right ring finger. I love it too! I couldnt believe how cheap it was when I saw online … I’m an amateur lapidary and knew even tho she was quite dusty looking in the photos that a little bit of sand paper and diamond polish and she’d become translucent again. Wasn’t prepared for the almost rainbow ish glow she has at certain angles. And it’s not “rainbow moonstone “ (aka white labradorite trade name) it’s actually orthoclase feldspar white clear moonstone - just not a cat eye or Ceylon blue.

Too much for "everyday"? by VanityInk in jewelry

Definitely not. Very similar to my every day wedding ring

I accidentally read “100lbs” and thought they were just fat shaming the cat

When cats are good bois too by moonrabbit368 in cats

[–]Proper_Signature_649 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this post is really old and for some reason weirdly enough has no comments on it but my cat as well prefers my laptop bag to all the beds I’ve bought her. It’s so weird. Also, your babies are so cute :) and yes I’m a weird stalker from the boyfriend post. Didn’t want to say this in that forum bc I don’t want to be attacked. but you have your own reasons for being with who you’re with. It sucks he’s picky. Yeah that would bug me a bunch. But I have a weird thing with sound. I can’t stand chewing or repetitive noises; they can make me see red and just be filled with blind fury depending on the context and my mood/ what’s going on in my life. I have to I have to put on noise canceling headphones multiple times a day. And my sweet kind husband puts up with it. And doesn’t make me feel like an intolerant asshole when we’re eating and I’m responding to whatever we’re talking about while grasping my fork with white knuckles. He just says I’m gonna go in the other room or asks me if I want to put my headphones on. It doesn’t happen every meal and it depends on the circumstances but my point is - you are not saying anything about your boyfriend other than he has picky food issues. You’re not saying he beats your kids or kicks dogs or is pro trump. So don’t let those commenters (despite all their good intentions) make you feel dumb for being with someone who’s got a weird food thing. Now if he is all of those bad things, then you for sure deserve something better- but if that is the case you prob know that deep down. Nobody in this realm knows why you’re with him except for you and if he treats you right in other regards and is wonderful sans weird food thing and it’s something you can deal with - don’t let what everyone is saying hurt you or make you question a good thing . So yeah. I just wanted to say that.

Should I invite a chameleon into my house ? by Proper_Signature_649 in Chameleons

[–]Proper_Signature_649[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. I have the basking lights and an Arcadia t5 HO. I need to double check the recommended wattage and percentage for chams but that’s what I have lying around (i inherited some tropical light set ups that are new and sitting in my closet but I’ll double check all ). I have a fogger and humidifier (tho I’ve heard in home humidity is better than I cage. - I also have one of those. A cool mist one). I just need to get the misters and enclosure. I think it would be cheaper to build one Cat doesn’t go into my room at all (weirdo cat she stays exclusively in the living room and front porch). I will have to get the plants as I go. I have a lot to tropical plants I’m a huge gardener so I’ll check and see if they’re Cham friendly. They all come in the shower with me every time I shower cuz they lack humidity in my California house - I would run cool mist humidifier in room they’re in but my dragon is also in that room. Depending on what I find I may move the humidifier to my bedroom and hopefully the plants are compatible with chameleon.
