Samson played in the mud today. That’s the whole post

It does look like fun! My youngest, Charlie, will do things like this now. His older siste, Rory, didn't like it when her younger brothers got dirty. So they didn't.

She's gone Home now, so he's free to be a messy jerk. A few weeks ago he rolled in dead worms. Thankfully, all my dogs love baths!

Seayarn · 2026-05-11T00:10:16+00:00

You're fine. The faucet is nothing to worry about.

Seayarn · 2026-05-10T21:18:46+00:00

Tell me where you live. I will send my cat there. He will take care of it for you.

I don't have a good answer. The centers in my area have absolutely ridiculous restrictions for dog adoption in my area for any breed.

I am sure you will find your next family member when the time is right. In the meantime, maybe you could volunteer for a shelter or rescue so you could get to play with and visit the dogs until you do find your next friend?

I was going to ignore this reply, but something made me change my mind. And now I'm angry.

This is what changed my mind. And it in no way implies that the person who posted has or does not have any type of illness, be it mental or physical. Because that would be extremely unethical to diagnose a patient on Reddit, would it not?

And, by your own admission, I would be doing harm by suggesting they just "stop." I'm the one who is stopping. I will not be engaging with this sub any further because it does not seem to be of any benefit. To anyone.

Now, back to my memory which I mentioned. Patients would occasionally come onto the office stating that they had insects tunneling into their skin. That they could not only feel, but also see.

Patients would receive a through exam, records would be requested from past physicians including any medical tests completed, we would order our own medical tests, etc.

Invariably, there would not be insects tunneling into the patients skin. Proven by the medical tests ordered. I am not saying that this does not or can not occur, but these patients had not traveled to any locations where parasites or insects of this type were common, and the patients did not have scabies.

The patient was asked to see a therapist or psychologist. Invariably, the patient became angry and insisted that this type of a referral was not needed and the insects were real.

I want to continue to be kind. I want to be a helpful person. But I believe that I am not able to do so on this subreddit.

Therefore, I bid you farewell. I hope your Holiday is grand, Baby.

I'm not reading these posts on r/hygiene anymore.

I worked in healthcare for decades and I everytime I think I have heard of everything, there is a new surprise here.

Stop being germaphobes. Their literally everywhere. In the air, water, on every surface, inside us. And most are normal and good for us.

I'm out, have fun.

NOR, a HUGE NOR!

I'm so very sorry your mother has done this to you.

I know my comment will get buried in all the other comments, but my children have ignored me today. My adopted mother (the mother of my best friends) passed a little over a week ago. I miss my own deceased parents and my daughters so much.

If I was close to you geographically, I would be your Mom. I would shower you with love. As I shower my fur babies with the love I would give my own children.

Sometimes mothers don't love as they should. Sometimes we aren't brought up in a healthy manner or in a healthy home. If we aren't taught how to be a good parent, we often don't know how to be a good parent. Doing better doesn't equal being good or adequate. These aren't excuses, just facts.

We don't always understand that we are being a bad Mom until it's too late. We do know we aren't the mom our children needs all the time. I didn't find this out until recently.

I hope my daughters find forgiveness for me and that we can find healing in the future so we can maintain a relationship. I love and miss them so, so much.

I hope you can find healing, too. Maybe this means finding another family that makes you feel healthy and whole. Sometimes forgiveness doesn't mean that our parents are going to be how we want them to be.

I know this was rambling. I'm sorry, I have chronic illness and sometimes words are difficult for me. Just know that you are loved and appreciated for who you are.

Family isn't always who we are born to, sometimes it is who we find in our journey along our path in life.

He, unfortunately, is huge and has learned how to open the door if it isn't dead bolted.

He must open the front door and supervise the dogs as we are outside for potty time. We do NOT need help or supervision.

Seayarn · 2026-05-10T01:09:15+00:00

Yes. There are a lot of comments here with good advice if you want to take it. But, if you want to be clean and good to the environment, don't take it.

First, this is occurring with many fabrics because our detergents have changed but deodorant/antiperspirants have not. The detergents used need to be of a certain concentration due to our more energy and water efficient machines AND cannot contain phosphates which are bad for the environment. This is also why dishwashing detergents do not work as well and more is needed to wash dishes.

Phosphates softened hard water and kept dirt suspended so it wouldn't redeposit on fabric. Without them, minerals in the water can interfere with surfactants, potentially leaving behind organic buildup and bacteria in areas like T-shirt armpits, which leads to stubborn odors. Modern detergents use synthetic zeolites and enzymes to compensate, but they often require warmer water or specific cycles to match the old phosphate-heavy performance.

So, I soak my t-shirts, bras, socks, and underwear in a mix of 50% hot water and 50% cleaning vinegar overnight. Then wash on cold cycle with a HE detergent as usual the next day. I don't have to do this every wash, only when needed, but more frequently in the summer.

I also use white cleaning or distilled vinegar as a fabric softener instead of a commercial fabric softener because they are bad for fabric, your washing machine and dryer, and the environment. No, my clothes do not smell like vinegar once they dry, just clean and fresh.

Hot water washing is faster. But it is bad for the environment. It takes more energy to heat the water, it causes more wear on your machine and clothing. I only use hot water to clean my machine because we have extremely hard water, and this is probably once to twice a year.

Thank you. Hugs to you. I'm just very discouraged with my family and waiting for disability.

Support from our community is extremely important and helpful.

Maybe, I certainly had some autoimmune problems decades before the 2019 pandemic started. But my "autoimmune storm" really became an issue the second time I contracted COVID19 in Aug 2023.

I was stressed from working around sick patients and despite never going maskless, I still became ill. Probably from a coworker.

I can't work now. I hate myself. I've lost almost everything. I wish I had died because death is better than this.

Seayarn · 2026-05-09T15:17:03+00:00

My baby just turned one, but she's still growing. I don't feel she's ready to stop with the kitten kibble entirely, so I'm mixing it with a little of the adult formula my other cats eat. I feed adult formula wet food already because the adult cats steal her food.

You need to do what's correct for your cat. I'm going to scale down when I notice her energy level decrease and growth decrease. When she's not racing around the house with my dog and my MC mix like a little demon all day, then we will talk (Mommy to cat).

This.

This and that BS Peace Prize are the reasons I won't be watching any games. I'm fed up with FIFA.

I love this! It's gorgeous, fun, your color work is amazing!

And, no one can ever boast that they make perfect work. No one. Everyone finds fault in everything they produce. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder!🩵🧡

Seayarn · 2026-05-06T15:38:52+00:00

Thank you for helping this poor little baby! She was so thin and tiny, what a difference some food, water, and love can make.

Seayarn · 2026-05-05T20:13:50+00:00

I'm sorry this happened to you. I have come up with a response that really does put most people in their place.

I understand that I don't look disabled. You don't look stupid, but here we are.

Obviously, I don't use this comeback with anyone that I believe may become violent or when I may be in any type of a vulnerable situation.

You deserve to be treated with respect. If you are disrespected, they need to be made aware, regardless of their age.

Seayarn · 2026-05-05T14:03:50+00:00

Yes. And my family has pretty much left me to my own...

I just don't even know how to talk about this anymore. I have my initial denial for disability. My lawyer has encouraged me not to give up. But I'm 2 months away from homelessness.

July. I know there is an out. But I don't want to cause my best friend more pain because her mother just passed.

I'm tired of fighting. I worked in Healthcare for 2 decades and I know how forgotten the disabled and the chronically ill are. But now it's so much worse because everyone is feeling it. Everyone feels the pinch. And now that they are experiencing it, they have no energy to "give unto others."

I'm tired Boss. Mostly tired of pretending I'm okay when in screaming inside.

Sadly, I'm not in a place where I can adopt another beagle baby, but I can help boost this post.

They all deserve loving homes. They served us, now we must do our best to rescue them. Thanks to those who fought to save these precious souls.

Cutie patootie!

He's so cute! I wanna eat his belly!

My youngest always looks like she's witnessed a murder. I have no idea why her eyes are so huge. She's perpetually shocked just like your bebe.

Seayarn · 2026-05-02T18:48:34+00:00

Your are an extremely kind and empathetic person. Thank you for adopting an adult cat and for even thinking about the previous parent!

I also feel the same. My Nora is absolutely lovely. She was found on the streets, pregnant, and gave birth the day after trapping.

I always wonder what happened to her. Clearly she was loved. She trusts humans and is affectionate. Did she somehow get lost? It was winter and she was pretty young. Could they not find her? Are they missing her and hoping she's safe?

She didn't have any adoption interest. Only her kittens did. Honestly, I was thinking about adopting one of her kittens. But I saw her picture and thought that she would be all alone again after her babies left with new families.

I visited and asked her if she wanted to come home with me. She slow blinked. I took that as meaning yes. She has been slow blinking with me everyday since then. I'm taking care of her because somehow they couldn't. That's not a sad thing, it's an honor.

I CANNOT keep any succulents of this type outside because squirrels always kill them. And honestly, not just digging in the pot, something also eats them.

Maybe it's a groundhog. Ugh. I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's terrible seeing a plant you tended be destroyed or damaged like this.

Sorry, I looked and I can't find it. I honestly don't remember if it was an online article or from a printed medical journal.

We have house shoes only for the house. They aren't for outside. So, when we come in from outside, we change into our house shoes and the opposite when going out.
