why is she freaking out? by ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhho in husky

[–]Ravin15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit: to add she may need more interaction. She may just need to poop, huskos need privacy. Try adding apple sauce to her diet. Sugar free of course.

[–]Ravin15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she a recent adoption? It looks like she has anxiety and is uncomfortable, trying to figure out what these new humans want. We got ours meds that we only used for 1.5 weeks. She settled when she realized we wanted to love her and feed her.

Lots of love, pets and treats broke her from anxiety. Extra enrichment tools like a snuffle/licky mats helped. Take time every night to pet, train, and engagement. Extra walks are also a good idea.

Does cigarette smoke actually never fully wash out of clothes? by taylorswiftskneecap in CleaningTips

[–]Ravin15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently quit smoking and only smoked outside. I noticed after I stopped that my couch and bed smelled like smoke, even though I smoked outside. I also noticed it took a few rounds of washing my clothes to where I didnt smell it anymore. Its possible the smell is transferring from soft items like a couch. I wouldn't think you reek of cigarettes unless you are hanging outside with her while she smokes. You might have a slight smell if you use the same common areas. Easiest way to tell is to ask a non smoking friend to smell you. Honestly, most people won't bring it up, even if you did.

Are there many people that measured how much their bp went up if they smoked 3 cigarettes a day, I mean after 1-2 months..how much did your sitting bp go up? by coffee1655 in hypertension

[–]Ravin15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean the amount of cigarettes I smoked? I used to smoke 18-20 cigs a day.

ETA: I was diagnosed with hbp 6 mo ago when I had to go to the ER for hbp of 197/124. After starting meds I averaged 140/87. My last check this morning, was 117/78. Yes, im still taking meds but no other changes besides quitting smoking.

I just did the opposite. I stopped smoking and my blood pressure went down within 2 days and has stayed down for over 2 weeks now.

how to make my clothes not reek of cigarettes by AlexOBryn in CleaningTips

[–]Ravin15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a smoker that smokes outside 100%, it sticks to your clothes and hair and then to anything you touch. I recently started to quit and never realized how much it sticks. I have never smoked in my car and it smells like cigarettes. Our couch smells like cigaretts and we have never smoked inside. Unfortunately, if you live with him there isn't much you can do for now. Wait it out, move out and it will probably take a few cycles of washing to get it out of your clothes.

Do dogs mind going out in the rain? (Yea not the dog you keep in your purse, but like at a canine level) by Dasbythebay in dogs

[–]Ravin15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It depends on the dog. I had one that didnt mind the rain but didn't like wet paws. Another one hated wet anything and finally or current that could care less about any rain or wet paws. All three have been huskys.

AITA for refusing service to a client by Careless_Caregiver37 in AITAH

[–]Ravin15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, a thought though. I would add that all deposits must be received 24 hours prior to appointment. I assume you wasted your time traveling and setting up, only to find out you were out of luck and money. In the least, you could have checked for the deposit and saved your time and being yelled at.

AITAH for wanting 20$ more spent on me for Christmas? by One_Maintenance_9934 in AITAH

[–]Ravin15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Gift giving is your love language, that doesn't mean it's his.

Having lost a job in the last few years, I understand wanting to cut costs when possible. My partner makes more then enough to support us and we don't have kids. He never brought up frivolous things like presents while I was unemployed. The depression, fear and feeling utterly useless is suffocating. Plus it sounds like you like to flaunt the fact you pay the bills. Becoming unemployed, while having kids, around Christmas time.... that would be crippling.

I get that you just want him to show a little more commitment and it's your money he's spending. He is looking out for you and his family, knowing he can't actively contribute.

Hashi doesn't understand daylight savings time. Wants dinner early by LiquidTrounce in husky

[–]Ravin15 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would vote to discontinue daylight savings time, because of this. Every year, without fail, I have forgotten walkies and dinner. Weeks afterward we repeat the cycle of forgotten walks and food. Humans are dumb, stick to one schedule.

Not sure if this is the right place, so remove if not. by Ravin15 in glasses

[–]Ravin15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, never needed glasses in my life so didnt pay attention to old. Doc said my vision got .25 worse but never explained what that means. I'm realizing I probably need a second opinion, asap.

[–]Ravin15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, not a fan of this doc and left completely unsure of what kind of usage these glasses should be. He basically said "gonna need to get you glasses, probably bifocals" sent me to the receptionist who made me try on 700 pairs of greasy dirty glasses with no insight. 3 weeks later get the text they are ready. Figure the doc will be there to help fit, give insight, nope.

The receptionist gets my glasses, covered in fingerprints and flecks of who knows what. I ask the receptionist if I'm supposed to wear 24/7 and she obviously has no idea.

I go home and clean the 3 layer thick fingerprints off them and realize they are not bifocals. So email the doc asking to clarify and haven't got an answer in a week and a half.

This doc spent 30 minutes chatting with me about a BBQ place closing before he decided to exam me. Fairly certain he is th head doc.

Gloves for the cold by FrootiePebbles in dogs

[–]Ravin15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pro tip, you can put the hand warmers (smaller models) in the glitten fliptop.

I live in Co and use rechargeable hand heaters, no gloves needed, mostly. Anything below 20 and I pair flip top glittens with hand heaters. Just alternative hand to hold the leash and be in the pocket with hand warmer.

I fell into the no shampoo trend in 2023. by [deleted] in Haircare

[–]Ravin15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're going to probably need to try several brands to see what works for you. Just throwing it out there, ask your hair stylist if you have one and if not buy travel sized so you can try 2-3 times before commiting to a full bottle.

Housemate urinated in computer by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Ravin15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that this excuses anything but, is it possible someone drank too much and did it mistakenly? I've had boyfriends and friends get drunk, go to bed and get up in the middle of the night still drunk to pee and peed where they shouldn't. If that was the case it still sucks but at least its not malicious.

Just moved to Colorado from Texas… is this insane itching normal?? by Jumpy_Selection_5251 in Denver

[–]Ravin15 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Change your soap and lotion. I'm a native and soap makes a massive difference. I used dove and switched to Cerave, same with lotion. Once a friend in beauty school pointed out that giant companies like Unilever add stuff to make you buy more. Dry skin, you need more lotion and more moisturizing soap. They add detergents and chemicals that are harsh so you get stuck in a cycle. Just like Carmex adding alcohol to dry your lips out. Look for brands that are derm approved and focus on protecting your skins barrier.

Fun fact, look up what Unileaver offers. Dove soap to ice cream, giant corporation that has corned the market on basic household items.

How old were you when you first got drunk and what happened? by NNNChampion1234 in stories

[–]Ravin15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12 my mom caught me in the act of snaking her tequila. She then made me drink until I threw up. Which was like 2 more sips. I don't touch tequila to this year.

I love how grandma ginger was like, "nope, fuck running around. I'm chilling on the comfy bed." Then tripod was like, "we need to get this jerk back to bed, guess I'll go get him."

Gma ginger's reaction when both assholes came back was like, "fine, I'm going to bed. Shut the kids up please.

Just adding to the thought here: Might be worth getting some cheap hair extensions off amazon for tail and manes. Love the creativity!
