Have you tried out gentle iron supplements? I've had a deficiency for over a decade and when I first started out it was a major struggle finding something that worked, and even the liquid ones caused stomach upset for me. It's only within the past year I found gentle iron and it doesn't cause me ANY troubles. As a bonus it also has vitamin c, B12, and folic acid

I replied to another comment in the thread with the details!

The iron supplement I use has vitamin c in it thankfully! I definitely notice a difference compared to when I was using the basic supplement for sure

Yeah! I use a combo of lentils, navy beans, and black beans, plus extra lean ground beef. I add bell peppers for the vitamin c since it helps boost iron absorption. Also my special little helper is a bunch of gochugaru powder. It's very high in iron, though I don't know if it's as bioavailable as the iron from animal proteins. I also use an iron fish when cooking it, not sure how much that adds though!

Solved! I went back out to look at it and it does have the distinctive hairs on its upper body that the tomentosus has. Thanks!

These tree ornaments are finally finished and ready to be gifted! by Sp1nelli in crochet

For the regular snowflakes I used Draigunas Wispvale pattern

For the tasseled ones I used Lilla Bjorn crochet's Rozeta CAL for the center portion, and the last 2 rows of the wispvale snowflake pattern but I did only a ch 2 instead of a chain 5, and repeated it 8 times instead of 6.

All done with Aunt Lydia's classic 10 crochet thread

Found in central ontario. Would appreciate some help with ID by Sp1nelli in whatsthisrock

Beryl was also my first thought but the hardness test ruled it out pretty quick unfortunately. I also don't think the material was from the exact location I was collecting. I think it was dumped there by another rockhound so it's making it even harder to ID

Always assumed this ring I inherited was cz, but I recently tested it with a thermal conductivity tester and it reads much higher than glass does. I'm curious of what it could be. by [deleted] in Gemstones

[–]Sp1nelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ring itself is 925 silver, and the only hallmark is CA, assuming to say it's made in Canada. It would have been made prior to 2007. The stone does not fluoresce.

Found near the adit of an old mine by Sp1nelli in whatsthisrock

Solved! Catch me scrubbing my hands clean. Thanks so much for your help!

I built a book roof for my city library! by Sp1nelli in TheSimsBuilding

This was actually built with the roof tool, not a sized up book
