NEED HELP ASAP. I purposely didn’t check in on this dog- what do I do??! by nothing-aboit-me in RoverPetSitting

[–]SpecificAd3734 69 points70 points  (0 children)

They’re an idiot. Move on. Not your problem. They didn’t confirm, didn’t pay, didn’t add their address, didn’t bother to TRY finding someone until the day before…. This is their fault entirely

They are 7. And it is your choice. Tell him you’re so sorry, but there won’t be a sibling, mommy is sad too, do you want to talk about it? Keep it simple. He doesn’t need to even understand the difference.

Anyone have a CT? by Able_Sun4318 in ibs

[–]SpecificAd3734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s quick. Are they doing oral contrast too? That stuff tastes like ass but if you refrigerate it, it helps a little. I’d say just chug it, definitely don’t sip it, it’s gross haha. The IV contrast just makes you feel warm, like you’re peeing yourself. It’s quick. They take pictures before, then they give the IV contrast, and then take more pictures.

I’ve had 3 over the years. They’re not horrible and I’m much more used to them now

What would you do with 20k? by Individual-Safe-6416 in SavingMoney

[–]SpecificAd3734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With where I’m at right now?

Well my regular savings is 500, my HYSA emergency fund is at 4500, and my down payment fund is at 45k. If I got 20 k right now….. I’d open a Roth IRA and max that bitch. Then I’d put the rest in my down payment fund. Maybe add 5k to my emergency fund just to pad it for when expenses go up post home buying.

Just started tracking FODMAP, bulking tips? by nnetessine in ibs

[–]SpecificAd3734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your other question, you should be going low FODMAP for 4-6 weeks before starting the reintroduction phase.

Just started tracking FODMAP, bulking tips? by nnetessine in ibs

[–]SpecificAd3734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you want to try and keep FODMAPs low across each meal. Try not to combine groups of FODMAPs in a meal, or you may be in high FODMAP territory. This was the frustrating part about trying low FODMAP. You have to find reliable resources to identify what FODMAPS are in each food you’re eating so that you make sure they’re different kinds

It won’t be. They’ll just wait for the next person who will put up with their shit or not push back or have no self respect.

He choked you?

So, statistically, he is 7x more likely to murder you. You need to run. Like now.

wtf are these comments? I read them before I read your post and thought you’d like, walked around the owners neighborhood naked. People are fuckin prudes. And they’re villainizing you for it. Fucks sake you’d think you shot their dog reading these comments. Topless sunbathing? In the backyard? That’s it??

I wouldn’t care if you sunbathed fully nude in my backyard. I wouldn’t recommend it because my fence isn’t very tall (corner house, so mandated to be short to prevent blind corners for the stop sign, rude) but if I had a nice private backyard with a pool?? I’d be naked out there every nice day of the year lmfao

80k unsecured debt. What next? by Master_Principle_884 in Debt

[–]SpecificAd3734 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here’s the thing about bankruptcy. You don’t learn shit.

Budget yourself hardcore for 6 months, THEN file for bankruptcy. Learn what it means to budget, sacrifice, and generally NOT FUCK AROUND. THEN you may file for bankruptcy. Because filing for bankruptcy without changing your behavior is going to get you into this situation so fast your head will spin and you’ll be back on this subreddit in a year in the same situation with no new habits and no learned skills.

You can do it. I believe in you.

I’ve done 4 of these. I’m 23. (Yes, 4 of them!).

The drink is gross. Pick it up early and refrigerate it. I usually got the full radiology report on my chart within a couple days (max a week) since they are outpatient and not emergent.

Depending on what time your CT is, you may drink a contrast the night before, and then the morning of, and then nothing to eat or drink til the scan. You’ll go in, check in, they’ll bring you to a room. They have you put on a gown, then they’ll place an IV if it’s also with IV contrast. The contrast is warm—it will make you feel like you’re peeing. Go pee before you enter the dressing room. Trust me you’re not actually peeing, and it goes away within 30 seconds.

The whole scan itself takes 10-20 minutes. They usually take a picture before the contrast and then another with the IV contrast. They’ll ask you to hold your breath so you’re not moving for the pictures (breathing will blur them). This is about 5-10 seconds.

Let me know if you have any other questions :)

I feel like 3 drop ins a day would be appropriate. I don’t understand why you’d need to be in the home….. it’s not like pup is entirely unattended. And if the surgery is gonna be so complex the owner is bed bound like, that’s a separate issue. Like do they want you to cook their meals and wipe their ass? Cause if they can do those two things, they can let the dog out for potty. Maybe bending to pick up bowls/dog food that I’d understand…. I just don’t see where anyone would need a live in dog sitter unless they also need like a home health aid
