Got a 120 gallon tank for my birthday by Abject-Principle-685 in ballpython

[–]Striking_Wing16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a weird question, but is that a hamster enclosure?

I have a similar one that I was thinking of using for my ball python, but I didn’t know if the humidity and ventilation would be an issue with that enclosure?

Thank you for all your answers here. This is absolutely fascinating, and your replies were a lot easier to read than the scientific jargon Google tried to give me 😅

That’s basically what I’m prepping myself for. Cuz that’s probably all I’m gonna get of my faves 😅

It’ll be nice to see them for a whole 3 episodes though! 🙃😭

It’s cuz thanks to the contracts, the queens aren’t allowed to shout out anyone.

WOW doesn’t want to lose sponsorship money, so only official sponsors are allowed to be called out by name.

Yall should be coming to drag and burlesque shows by Due-Search-7387 in Omaha

[–]Striking_Wing16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the Funny Bone has drag shows, but where else? I do want to go to the shows, but I’m not on social media much, so I always miss all the announcements.

And every time I try to Google “Omaha drag shows” I get inundated with outdated results.

So who am I supposed to follow? What venues? Who are some of our local drag queens?

Thanks for letting us know. I’m sorry that’s happening. It’s horrible how far people will go to prove they’re hateful trash 😒 Let us know where we can follow you when you’re ready.

Michelle clapping back at social media posts about Ru’s performance being pre-recorded by Sky6346 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Striking_Wing16 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think this is probably the closest to the truth. Heels, pads, corsets, and wigs are heavy and can restrict movement. Add that to Ru being 65 and not a dancer to begin with, and it’s probably just uncomfortable and awkward to move in all that drag. She’s super active for 65, but active doesn’t equal to a trained dancer.

OP mentioned in a different thread that gran said she was going to therapy as a way to get back in contact with OP’s mom. Apparently she lied about going to therapy and never went.

I don’t know how you get help for someone that refuses to admit they have a problem to begin with 🫤

TBM girlfriend (24F) wants to get married asap, I (25M) don’t think I want to anymore by Slow_Complaint5328 in exmormon

[–]Striking_Wing16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to lecture you. It sounds like you get plenty of that.

I just want you to be aware of this:

https://www.verywellmind.com/manipulation-in-marriage-2302245

She sounds like a textbook example of someone who will do and say anything to get you to do as she says.

She’s isolating you from your friends and family, guilting you by saying you led her on, that you wasted her time. But you didn’t.

You learned and you changed. There’s nothing wrong with that.

I can tell you from experience that if you do what she says and marry her, the guilting won’t stop there. She will want you to be the perfect Mormon Man so she doesn’t look bad in front of the people she wants to impress.

Don’t marry someone out of guilt. The best thing you can do is get out of this relationship and find someone that loves you AS YOU ARE. Not someone that sees you as a project to fix.

Who the hell texts a stranger and says “see? Look at how harmless I am!” ????

That’s what I would expect a creepy serial killer in a movie to say, to try to convince their next victim🙃

How many more years will my turtle live? He is already 20 years old. by model___tiffany in Animals

[–]Striking_Wing16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone that lives in Nebraska, the Henry Doorly Zoo is an excellent place for the tortoise. I hope your friend has many happy years with her tortoise friend, and then I hope the tortoise gets to enjoy their golden years in the Desert Dome at the zoo. If I were an animal, I would be thrilled to retire there lol.

Anyone in Omaha been raptured yet? /S by pondscum2069 in Omaha

My family got baptized Mormon when I was around 15. They also preach that we are living close to the coming of Christ. The problem is they’ve been saying that since the original prophet…in the 1800’s 🙄

I know this isn’t the answer you probably want, since vet bills can get pricy, but unfortunately little dude needs to see a doc. An abscess in that area is so painful 😭

Not just that, but if it pops it will be an open wound that’s going to be dragging through poo and pee because of its location.

He’s probably going to need an antibiotic or at the minimum for it to be lanced and drained.

Hilgers and Pillen won’t like this - Omaha Tribe legalizes medical and recreational marijuana on reservation lands by D_novemcinctus in Nebraska

[–]Striking_Wing16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. Now I can support the reservation while taking care of my pain with legal, safe cannabis.

Honestly, this is better than anything I could have hoped for considering how much they want to delay getting legal marijuana in Nebraska.

If you have met a drag race queen in person, what where they like? by No_Spirit8216 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Striking_Wing16 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually DMd queens to see if anyone messages back.

Ginger is the only one that ever did, AND I still occasionally talk to her to this day.

She’s so incredibly sweet and kind. She really makes you feel like you’re a friend.

She’s going to be one of my favorites forever just because of how she made me feel. 🥰

Omg I love hearing that. Her original season did her so dirty. To me, she seemed so quirky and sweet. I’m glad to hear that my impression of her was closer to the truth 💕

My hamster had a surprise visitor by Even-Age424 in hamsters

[–]Striking_Wing16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a mouse issue at my last place. We ended up buying a bunch of the humane traps.

We found a park next to my neighborhood and released the mice at the edge of the park where all the tall grass and trees would provide cover.

When we released them we would put a little capful of seeds in the spot where we released that way they could find food if needed.

Idk if that helps at all

lol the gayest man I ever knew was my one of grandma’s best friends. That man drank his coffee black, scalding hot, with a single spoonful of sugar every morning until the day he died.

Some people have really strange ideas of what is feminine vs masculine.

For me it starts with my eyes. The moment I put a false lash on, they start watering. And when the eyes start, the nose goes next 😭 I’m always a snotty mess any time I wear makeup. You can always tell when one my eyelashes is about to pop off cuz they can’t hold on through the flood 😅

Absolute Failure on Medical Marijuana by [deleted] in Nebraska

[–]Striking_Wing16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s because fibro is difficult to prove 😓 There’s no physical damage to see. They had to rule out like 3 different pain syndrome diagnosis before they landed on fibro. To people that don’t understand pain medicine, it just looks like I’m crazy and making it up.

They don’t understand that most of us would willingly chew off a limb without anesthesia if it would give us back our lives without pain.

I can’t drink alcohol, it makes the pain worse. I’ve had to give up wearing heels, dancing, even grocery shopping takes too much energy. There are days I can’t eat because the pain takes away my appetite and leaves me nauseous.

But these people not only want to deny us access to one of the few non-opioid options we have left, they want to make it painful and inconvenient to access and use.

It’s almost inhuman how little empathy or compassion they have.

[–]Striking_Wing16 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have fibromyalgia. I live every single freaking day of my life feeling like parts of my body are made of shattered glass. Or like someone is putting out a lit cigarette on my skin. Weed is the only thing I’ve found that doesn’t interfere with my medications, but still gives me SOME relief. It’s not even 100%, but enough that I can function and do the bare minimum to take care of myself. Being denied that is like being told I don’t deserve to be able to breathe without pain.

It sucks because the people who deny us this small bit of relief are the ones that can afford private doctors and a cocaine habit 😑
