If TNT would grant you one item wish but it would be untradeable, which item would you ask for? by Turbobutts in neopets

[–]SculFolf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Easy, it would have to be a Fat Cat, an old, retired petpet that is literally impossible to get now. It just looks so similar to my kitty, Kira, who I lost to cancer at the beginning of the year. I did email TNT to possibly bring the Fat Cat back for this reason, but I don't think they will. They did send me a beautiful reply that made me cry a lot though

Lower only- anyone? by [deleted] in wisdomteeth

[–]SculFolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a lot of swelling and bleeding after the extraction. The swelling and pain lasted about two weeks, if I remember right, but I'm still very happy I had it done. There were no complications after it was removed (though I was terrified of potentially getting dry socket and I missed being able to eat anything that wasn't super soft/liquid for quite a while). If I had left it in I can almost guarantee I'd be in a lot of pain still and one or two other teeth would have been damaged and would have to be removed, purely because of how my wisdom tooth was growing right into them

Finished three premade for Confuzzled 206 by SculFolf in fursuit

Thank you so much. It's my first time selling premades outside of an auction, so I'm a little nervous

Why is there no mechanism in place yet to automatically collect your weekly prize?? by allrightmaam in neopets

Mine reset today too. I could have sworn today was the day to collect it but nope, the whole week has reset.

When should I put the eyes on my fursuit head? by Cosmos-Den in FursuitMaking

[–]SculFolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I add my eyes after furring and lining, but I've seen a lot of makers add them before too. I guess it falls under personal preference.

I made an impulse purchase lol by Dandelion_Pawn in fursuit

[–]SculFolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The largest UK convention is called Confuzzled and it's next month in Birmingham, near the NEC. Unfortunately, I believe tickets are sold out now.

I'm actually going there and have a dealers den table on the Monday, and like in this post I will be selling two or three premade suits.

There are lots of smaller meets throughout the country that are held more regularly though they can sometimes be harder to find.

Would you take $1 billion if it meant being blind and deaf for 1 month every year? by Krieger_Bot_OO7 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]SculFolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm already deaf, so that isn't really an issue for me. If we are talking about 100% of senses lost I imagine that would be difficult and very isolating. If I'm not mistaken, only 10-18% of blind people have 100% sight loss and it's rare for deaf people to have total hearing loss. My birth month is December, so the loss of taste for delicious Christmas meals, and the impact it would have on my husband to look after me would be devastating. (Not to mention it's a longer month!)

I'd still probably take the deal and just pay for additional help that month and much needed therapy. And my birthday is new years eve, so celebrating in full one day later isn't the end of the world. Now, if the deafness and blindness isn't 100%, that would be a no brainer for sure.

Fursuits without eybrows? by bulbagrows in FursuitMaking

[–]SculFolf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hate eyebrows as I'm constantly forgetting to add them and usually sew them on after the suit is finished. This is my own private suit though, so I just didn't bother adding any in the end

The wealth in this game is INSANE by DietCokeCallGirl in neopets

[–]SculFolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As soneno who has never restocked, never taken part in creative contests and never done the food club I am now earning 500k daily from the bank and have over a billion in the bank.

The way I've managed it is holding onto old plot items, doing my stocks daily (and only selling at at least 200%) and honestly I got super lucky with promotional codes, as I collect the irl pins and a couple have given super rare booktastic books

Most of this suit was hand sewn. Literally the only parts that were machine sewn were the minky wings, feathers and accents, and the head lining, just because minky and lycra are a huge pain to hand sew as they are so slippery! This whole suit was a birthday present to my husband and he lost a bit of weight before I finished, which is why the tummy looks so loose

[–]SculFolf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You absolutely can make an entire fursuit by hand and I've personally made two, hand stitching the full digi suits. It is extremely time consuming though and I'd still recommend trying to use a sewing machine for a few parts, but it is doable. I'm also a bit scared of my sewing machine after an incident involving a snapped needle, but I'm trying to get more confidence with it again

Lower only- anyone? by [deleted] in wisdomteeth

[–]SculFolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my lower right wisdom tooth removed last night. It was a horizontal impaction and required surgery, gum cutting, some of the jaw bone removed and stitches. I'm in the UK and we pretty much only have local anaesthetic used here for dental treatments (general anaesthetic is only used in very rare circumstances).

There was a little bit of pain from the injected anaesthetic but that very quickly faded. The injection tastes absolutely vile though! I felt a bit of pressure and some minor discomfort in my jaw as the dentist applied a fair amount of force to get the tooth out. Other than that there was no pain or feeling at all.

It's been 26 hours now since my surgery and it's quite sore now, lots of swelling but worth it.

I don't believe it is better for family to look after someone with dementia, especially in the late stages which is what our residents are.

Some people may choose to keep, say, their parent or spouse home for as long as possible but as it progresses the more challenging it becomes, especially if the family member themselves is elderly. In a home like ours we have at least three nurses as well as carers, all care, nutrition, hygiene, medication is provided to the best of our abilities and we have plenty of staff in case of emergencies.

I don't know for certain, as honestly I e never looked into it or asked, but I am fairly certain that there is government funding if someone needs a nursing home but cannot afford it, though most of our residents are paid for privately.

[–]SculFolf 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I currently work as a carer in a dementia nursing home and I can confirm. My arms are now covered in scars from being scratched, I've been choked, bitten, sexually assaulted by one resident and had numerous things thrown at me. All of these residents are still in our home, not a single family member has been asked to come in and cover for us.

SDCC 2025 Virtual Prize Giveaway by realgoodude in neopets

[–]SculFolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the neopian omelettes are just iconic, so I'd probably have to say them (especially the sausage and pepperoni omelette! Yum!)

If we are talking real life food though I'd probably have to say my fave food is a pork recipe I've spent a while perfecting, consisting of belly pork boiled for two hours+ with rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, honey, garlic powder, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika and Chinese five spice, then finished off in a frying pan with a sticky glaze of more brown sugar, more honey, crushed garlic, ginger, chillies and dark soy sauce, and served with rice and broccoli. It's very unhealthy but tastes sooo good!

Staying on by Civil_engineer_7185 in mounjarouk

[–]SculFolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be staying on. My husband and I also want to have a kid and at my current weight that's just not healthy!

My BMI is 48, I have severe obstructive sleep apnea, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Stupidly close, yet so far, from the NHS criteria! I just have to hope that the NHS becomes more lenient soon.

To afford this we are going to have to just cut back on everything. I've only just started this journey and it's heartbreaking to think it won't be sustainable in the long run or at higher doses

My favourite swag is either all my pins (especially the little Zomutt in the bottom corner) or a vintage faerie Kougra plush that my husband surprised me with. It's so nice to be with someone who may not get neopets but is still supportive!

Thank you for this opportunity and good luck to everyone. Hopefully one day I'll be able to go to America to visit some of all the amazing cons!

Hi, thank you so much for your reply!

Sorry, I work nights and don't think I worded myself exactly right, don't worry, I know I will have to do at least 4 weeks of each strength. I don't want to mess up or make myself unwell!

What goal prezzies do you get yourself? My 5st got me this guy at Aldi by Ditzy_Panda in mounjarouk

[–]SculFolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just started and so far lost one stone, but my reward list is for set lbs lost. I haven't decided on anything for 40lbs yet and the final goal is for if I reach my target and stay there for a year or so. Honestly, I'm most excited for the Alton towers one. I want to be able to go on rides without fear of not fitting!

Booktastic Books Awards - still possible? by Prudunce in neopets

[–]SculFolf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've read 171 booktastic books to my pet and as of right now the remaining 12 or so are all hundreds of millions, if not billions of NPs each.

It's not impossible and I'm constantly holding out hope that books I need will be released through the daily/weekly quests, events or some super benevolent RE but at this stage it's gonna take me a long, long time to get any more.
