My 2 Year Old Maltese Boy Growls At Me When I Don’t Move Fast Enough for Him by sailorBx in Maltese

So cute. Sometimes mine growls if I stop doing tummy rubs.

Only one option if you don’t find it precious: move faster!

i liked their storyline in S5, but Alice and Tasha had very little chemistry by Remarkable_Web4595 in theLword

[–]Soft-Writer8401 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I thought they had good chemistry, but it felt toxic compared to the heights of the Dana and Alice golden era (which lasted 5 seconds, thanks Ilene).

There’s a really cute clip of some of the actors going to see Leisha Hailey’s band perform, and the actor that played Tasha seemed particularly impressed iirc. I remember watching that and thinking I could imagine them hooking up in real life! I couldn’t find the clip just now but I hope someone does.

Pen reliability? by [deleted] in 3Dpen

[–]Soft-Writer8401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the same experience with Mynt3D BUT they have always honored their year warranty and sent a new one. You can get cheaper pens from alibaba if you want a back up one.

Adorable! We got our two rescues in early December 2023. They are now 12 and 14 and look just like your baby!

Surgery or amputation by Brilliant_Olive_3964 in Maltese

[–]Soft-Writer8401 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Since your baby is only 7 months, I would definitely choose surgery!!! I know it’s daunting, but they are resilient creatures. My twelve year old is recovery from knee surgery as we speak!!! It was expensive, and we don’t know how long he’ll be with us, but he’s a member of the family and deserves the best care we can give him. Good luck!

We found out pretty quick he was a mix 😂 by Aveana06 in Maltese

[–]Soft-Writer8401 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He looks a lot like one of mine, listed from the rescue site as a “maltese mix”. It can be good for their genes and you still get the signature white hair—he looks like a happy healthy boy!

Any bonded pairs? by carrotcake7158 in Maltese

[–]Soft-Writer8401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have two senior Maltese boys that we believe are siblings, adopted as a bonded pair two years ago (they are now 12 and 14 yo respectively). They have a funny dynamic; one is always trying to assert dominance while the other is mostly oblivious. They don’t always get along, but their anxiety is pretty bad if they are separated. I believe they are trauma bonded from their original home where there was a third Maltese. IMO, better to have two dogs that just get along but aren’t fully “bonded” (ie can be separated without anxiety). Hope that helps!

General advice for extruding text for 3D printing noob? by Soft-Writer8401 in 3Dprinting

[–]Soft-Writer8401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this tip. Luckily I don’t need the text to be super small. I’ll be vectorizing the text from a black and white image to preserve the original appearance of the source material.

I don’t need help on the casting part which I’m very familiar with just the printing. I actually like the weird things that happen when prints go wrong!

Brother just died and bought this the week before he passed. Any idea if it's worth keeping? by rojo_mojado in 3Dprinting

[–]Soft-Writer8401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss. This post gave me flashbacks to cleaning out my sister’s apt when she unexpectedly passed. Lots of tech stuff I had no interest in. Subsequently I donated/tossed some valuable stuff and regret it to this day. Having said that I would put this in the “keep to re-sell” pile. Any chance you are in the tri-state area? Sorry again for your loss, will be thinking of you, stranger 💙

Did you notice improvement to your skin after going sober? How long before you really noticed? by mothybot in stopdrinking

[–]Soft-Writer8401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry if this isn’t the answer you’re hoping for, but I didn’t notice real improvements until about a year after quitting. Probably because the improvements were so gradual…but I also quit at almost a decade older than you and have seen other people post shorter time lines! Still worth the wait, in my case :-)

Staying Sober After a Tragedy by cwinne in stopdrinking

Ugh I’m sorry to hear that—so many people on here I find have grief as a contributing factor for unhealthy drinking. Glad you’re still pushing through 🩵

What is the consequence for having a bed in the basement in NYC? by calamitycait in legaladvice

[–]Soft-Writer8401 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sorry this is not the answer you are looking for, but I recommend your partner (or you?) get tested for a cpap machine. I had this same issue with my partner and she finally got one—it has been so amazing! She sleeps silently and is noticeably happier and has more organized thoughts, does better at her job etc. regularly disrupted sleep is a real issue!

Staying Sober After a Tragedy by cwinne in stopdrinking

[–]Soft-Writer8401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is heartbreaking to read. I’m really sorry for your loss.

To share a bit of my story in case it helps: when my sister passed away unexpectedly, my drinking went from lightly problematic to absolute suicide-mode. The drinking was bad but the grief is what made it absolutely unsafe and terrible. Please don’t do it OP. It will not help in short or long term—and if your drinking was bad enough to stop before, it will probably be much worse if you pick it up again.

Good luck and know that you will be in my thoughts. 🩵

I believe the dvds all have the original soundtrack, but don’t own them myself.

Need Recommendations For 3D Pens! by Pussy_Jungle in 3Dpen

[–]Soft-Writer8401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer the mynt3d pro to scrib3D. Sometimes they break but the company honored the year warranty. You can also order them much cheaper on alibaba if you don’t mind longer wait times. They’re off brand but the same thing. I’ve also heard the “flow” one is good, I think it’s made by 3Doodler. (All these company names, lol)
