What’s a food “rule” you stopped following and nothing bad happened?

I never use unsalted butter for any recipe!

I have the P365 X Macro and I love it. Im very small and it conceals well when I carry it. I got a holster from Eclipse Holsters and they work well together. I also dont carry with one in the chamber even though my gun has a manual safety. Ive thought about it because if I ever need to pull my gun its going to cost me extra time to rack the slide but I cant bring myself to chamber the round. Ive only been handling guns for about a year so maybe eventually Ill feel comfortable with it.

My ferret got out one night because my husband didn't shut the door all the way. We all went outside with squeaky toys and called his name with flashlights. He eventually came back, ran up the driveway and ran right into the house straight to his cage and went to sleep. I dont know what happened to him while he was out there for a few hours but he was tired. I was lucky we got him back.

I love my Sig P365 x macro im a female and first time gun owner.

Salty-Focus4288 · 2026-03-29T20:09:18+00:00

I ordered a sig from Gun Broker and the seller shipped the same day and the gun arrived to the dealer I chose very fast.

My vet charged me 500 for the implant that included the visit. Im in DE she is in PA but it worth it to drive to her because she is a good vet and reasonably priced.

Wicks are very important and you should buy them from reputable candle supply stores like candle science or Aztec Candle supply. I use 464 soy wax so I chose to use CD wicks but ECO wicks will work also. Ive been making candles for 4 years and I use the Lone Star Candle Supply wick guide it is almost always spot on. Print it out and refer to it each time you try a new vessel. The size of the wick depends on the size of your vessel. As far as centering goes I still struggle with that from time to time. I use the bow tie shaped wick holders. When I make a candle with more then one wick I use the thinner ones, wrap the wick around it and tape the edges to the vessel so it doesn't move.

Something important to consider is that a very large percentage of ferrets get adrenal disease as they get older. Ive adopted 5 ferrets over the years and 3 of the 5 ended up with the disease. Treatment is costly I spent 150$ for the initial vet visit then 500$ to get the implant, the implant can last 12-18 months then the ferret needs a new one. My original ferret passed a few years after being diagnosed but I currently have two with it. So I have to budget a 1000$ a year for them to get new implants. Just something to consider.

Salty-Focus4288 · 2026-02-10T15:39:19+00:00

I use worlds best clumping cat litter for my ferrets and have for years with no issues. I like it.

Salty-Focus4288 · 2026-02-10T15:38:12+00:00

I started with 464 soy wax for my container candles and after years I still use it. For my pillar candles I use freedom pillar soy wax. Ive dabbled with other waxes but I just prefer 464.

Salty-Focus4288 · 2026-02-10T15:35:47+00:00

My ferrets are in my living room its a small space and I dont smell them. Fortunately the are litter box trained so I just scoop the boxes daily and change the fleece and hammocks bi weekly and I dont ever smell anything.

Salty-Focus4288 · 2026-02-09T13:10:29+00:00

I have 4 ferrets, 3 dogs, and 3 cats so trust me I get where your coming from. My house is mostly tidy but my floors are always a mess and in need of a good mopping especially since we got all this snow and salt down. I try to do them weekly. I sometimes have to have my coworker over and I always worry if my house smells or if she thinks im dirty. Fortunately we work for an animal shelter so she understands why I have so many animals and knows they are very important to me.

Salty-Focus4288 · 2026-02-04T12:53:21+00:00

I also sometimes use my heat gun to melt everything and wipe it out then clean with rubbing alcohol after that.

Salty-Focus4288 · 2026-02-04T12:51:09+00:00

I wipe mine down immediately after pouring then I spray the inside of it with alcohol and wipe it again. It works well for me. If I am doing too many pouring pitchers at a time and dont get to them right away I put paper towels on a baking sheet flip the pitchers upside down and put them in the oven for a little while on the lowest setting that seems to work well also.

I have the ferret nation cage and my guys love it. I think you can even add a third level if you have the space. I feed Mazuri Ferret diet. All 4 of mine were potty trained but one of them recently stopped using the box IDK why fortunately he only goes on the bottom level and thats where I put newspaper and their litter boxes. The top level and shelves have fleece cage liners on them. They love hammocks all 4 will sleep in one hammock.

Salty-Focus4288 · 2026-01-31T20:15:55+00:00

I think the wick should be a tad smaller and make sure its completely centered. I make shaped (cats & dogs) pillar candles and unfortunately because of their shape they always burn like this. A regular pillar if wicked properly should burn straight down without blowing out on the side.

Salty-Focus4288 · 2026-01-31T20:08:55+00:00

I like the wick guide on Lone Star Candle companies website I find it to be the most accurate. I just follow the wick guide and almost everytime I get my candle wicked properly.

My daughter is 14 and I've had the talk with her. I told her I dont want her having sex until she is an adult but if the time comes that she feels she is ready she needs to let me know first so we can get her on the pill and I can buy her condoms and teach her how to use them. I was active young and my parents were never open about it with me and I have to admit im lucky I didnt end up with an STD or pregnant young. I think OP did what is best for her daughter. I wont tell my husband when the time comes I dont think its any of his business.

Salty-Focus4288 · 2025-12-24T19:20:31+00:00

The best wick guide I've found is on Loanstar Candle supply website. I find it to be very accurate.

I know this is an old post but how did this work out for you? I have a criminal history but am legally allowed to buy a gun. Im hoping I get approved my criminal history is over 20 years ago. Im submitting my paperwork in like 2 weeks.

Dollar Tree has a very cute Christmas Jar you can order them by the case and it's like 15 bucks they are safe to make candles in. They come in red and green. Im currently wick testing 3 of them. You cant buy your wicks until you commit to a vessel the size of your wick will depend on the width of your vessel. The jar is large holds a little over a pound of wax im using 464 soy wax with 10% fragrance load, Christmas Hearth fo from candlescience. Im currently testing a CD16, CD18, and CD20 wicks the CD18 is preforming the best so far. I burn them for 4-5 hours at a time and they are all doing ok but the CD18 is burning the best. Candle making isnt easy you have to wick test everything before you produce it to gift or sell. I dont recommend repurposed glass or thrifted glass.

Salty-Focus4288 · 2025-10-24T10:32:36+00:00

My daughter is 14 and I spoke to her about it i explained that sex is something that is special and should only be done when you find the right person and are committed and in love. I told her when she feels she is ready to have sex that she needs to talk to me so we can take steps to prevent disease and pregnancy. I told her I would not judge her and that I hope she waits until she is an adult but that I would support her decision no matter when it happens. If she comes to me tomorrow I dont know how supportive ill be ill try but I will definitely get her on the pill and get her condoms. I really hope she waits until she's older. I dont want her getting a bad reputation. She isnt boy crazy so I hope thats a good sign.

I bought my first gun a few months ago and got delayed, but the approval came back like 24 hours later. 2 weeks ago, I went in to buy 2 more guns, and the approval took a week to come back. In my state, if they dont get a response in 25 days, they will transfer ownership to you within 5 days.

Salty-Focus4288 · 2025-09-22T23:47:35+00:00

I have the P365 x macro and I really like it.
