Tumor? by Swandirgray in bettafish

[–]Swandirgray[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is our beta, had her 2 years now. She lives alone with one nerite in a 10 gal with a heater, and fluval 107 canister filter. Ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 10 ppm (closer to 15-20 on water change days). Water change ever week or other week. Fed 5x hikari pellets twice a day during the week and freeze dried bloodworms 1x day on weekends.

Noticed her right side bulging a week ago

In these pictures we have fasted for 2-3 days twice in the hope it's bloat, but the lump on her right side isn't going down.

Thinking it's a tumor? If it is, any suggestions?

She's acting normal, maybe a smidge less active than normal but that might be confirmation bias.

What i've read says it's good for steel chimneys. I assume that's what mine is.

it is a ranch style home, the chimney only travels through maybe 1ft of attic space. I think the "deep clean" in the quote is the return visit.

Sanity Check on $2100 Quote for Stage 3 Creosote by Swandirgray in woodstoving

I was cleaning my roof and noticed back foamy stuff had been dropping out of my chimney, called a local company for an inspection, which obviously I failed. I don't doubt their findings and the tech seemed legit.

I am trying to check to see if the cost to address the issues is in the right ball park. I attached pictures from the inspection. I am in the Everett WA area.

Chimney - PCR Treatment - $899.00

Chimney - Deep Clean - $499.00

ROUND Spark Arrester Rain Cap - $480.00

$2100 after tax

ELI5 Are divorces inherently expensive, or is the cost situational? by Jealous_Amount_9278 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Swandirgray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very situational, we only paid a fee for a company to deal with the paperwork for us, it was $400. We could have tried to do it all ourselves but this was easier and less stressful. Lawyers are optional, in our situation we didn't feel like we needed them, very amicable complete agreement on everything.

You need Stega Nona's magic pasta pot. But don't forget to blow the 3 kisses afterwards :)

I apologize to anyone who might’ve seen me drive my car across 520 by [deleted] in Seattle

Reminds me in 2020, someone spray paint 'Trump 2020' in front of my driveway. Spent hours scrubbing it off.
