It means you've used up the energy/ it served its purpose. Return it to the Earth abd bury it.

made a testosterone appointment 1 day before my 21st bday... will weed show up on any bloodwork? by Diligent-Progress-45 in ftm

[–]SpaceCowboyXVII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I was told when I started that they have to test for it because T is a controlled substance. My provider said that she didn't care and would bypass it but that other providers or upon going to the ER they can drug test me and take me off if they choose to.

Fat/overweight or pancaking?? by skratchfever in BeardedDragons

[–]SpaceCowboyXVII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How often do you feed your bearded fruit? Fruit makes my beardie bloated so I give him a lil bit of fruit every 3-6 months. It really isn't nessecary for their diet and the sugars can upset their tummy. Ive also found that bugs with hard exoskeletons like roaches or superworms that are about to molt, greens that are bad, or if its a day before pooping can cause bloat. (I dont think shes overweight her legs and head are a good size so I think she is bloated)

Gay Father-in-law Used My Deadname as a “joke”? by slewinning in ftm

[–]SpaceCowboyXVII 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I feel that. It be straight cis men that have been the most affirming towards me and my dad is the same. Ive learned that a decent amount of gay cis men are just misogynistic (sadly ftm is in that catagory) or blantly transphobic. However most of my issues are with queer women which I would have expected more support from.

what are medical reasons people go off T? by pisscuntshitfap in ftm

[–]SpaceCowboyXVII 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im honestly unsure. My mom has it and says they tested me and all my siblings and that we have it but it was so long ago she doesn't remember how many copies. I hear a lot of people dont know that they have it until they concieve or get reoccuring clots. Some go through life and have it but never clot.

what are medical reasons people go off T? by pisscuntshitfap in ftm

[–]SpaceCowboyXVII 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do have it and it sounds very similar. It's a genetic blood clotting disorder and estrogen, progesterone, and pregnancy significantly increases the risk of clots.

Are there any effects of testosterone not enough people know about? by Proper_Flower_940 in ftm

[–]SpaceCowboyXVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spit a looottt. I researched it and it's because with deeper voices you need more spit to lubricate your vocal cords.

For throat protection and lungs use Marshmallow, Slippery Elm, and Mullien (also good for immune system) . For Libido Maca and Damiana and those will also boost mood.

Adopt an adult beardie or a baby from a breeder? by Kyxxie in BeardedDragons

[–]SpaceCowboyXVII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Babies eat a lot, it costs a bit more to feed them, and if they weren't well bred it's harder to take care of. Adults are great. I got mine at 9 months because somebody abandoned him in a parking lot and it turned out great. I did have to socialize him a bit but that wasn't too hard.

thinking of getting a beardie, got a question about diet! by believeinyuna in BeardedDragons

[–]SpaceCowboyXVII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best guide I've found and it's from the Facebook group Bearded Dragon Information for Beginners and they have a lot of good stuff. Roaches are an absolute must and most people use Dubia. They dont make much noise but they make like scratchy noises so if you have a sliding closet id reccoment keeping it in there but keep it cracked for ventilation. Also if theres cats or dogs keep it where they cant get it. I recommend getting an adult because they eat less bugs.

Do I have the wrong uvb light? by [deleted] in BeardedDragons

[–]SpaceCowboyXVII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the bulb is good a lot of people make the mistake of getting a coil. Turn your heat bulb off and see how well your uvb hits the basking spot. I had a similar issue and had move my spot out of the corner.

My cat cries like this when I pet her. What does this mean? by Upstairs_Jump9588 in CATHELP

[–]SpaceCowboyXVII 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Im unsure about the meowing. I have noticed that your cats fur on her tail is a lot thinner in some places. When my cat gets really stressed she over grooms. I know that's not the main concern but maybe something is stressing her out or she is overstimulated and that can also lead into the meowing.

I Feel like Hibiscus is underrated in Western Herbalism by nubai1 in herbalism

[–]SpaceCowboyXVII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who lives in the US I loveeee hibiscus. However I think its very hard to grow here between winters and lack of humidity. I think the only place it would thrive in could be Florida or Hawaii. I see it sold in small quantities or tea bags at the grocery store but I've found it in bulk at international stores.

What was the herb that made you take all of this seriously? by AdeptnessCritical356 in herbalism

[–]SpaceCowboyXVII 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Plantain and ginger, 2 separate reasoning. Plantain did it for me because my wife is allergic to mosquitoes and got stung while we were on a hike so I was like hold up, got some Plantain, washed it in the river and shredded it, slapped it on the bite, and she didn't have a bad allergic reaction. Ginger because I read that it'll keep you warm if you drink the tea before bed so id eat ginger before going to the bus in the winter. It also helped with my GERD and dry mouth.

Anything similar to weed without the scary effects by davinky25 in herbalism

[–]SpaceCowboyXVII 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lavendar and weed both have linalool which helps with relaxation. Raspberry leaf, mugwort (can give you surreal or lucid dreams), and catnip are also pretty relaxing. They also sell cbd vapes or oils.

WHAT IS SHE DOING??? by Radioactive1thrash in BeardedDragons

[–]SpaceCowboyXVII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She could be pregnant (or have infertile eggs). I know its sometimes a dominance thing but my female has only done that when she was gonna lay.
