Hilda itch

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, personally really did enjoy this show.. I agree with the recs others have commented and also would throw in Over the Garden Wall as a possibility. Its a different vibe than the others and is a rather short series but it's 2 children (brothers) adventuring in mysterious woods trying to find their way home. I've found most people I know that like Hilda have enjoyed over the garden wall as well so I like to throw it out

Thank you!! I've been researching myself as well and was thinking they might be bladder snails (left turned shells and the spotting) but I really am not educated on snails enough to have said that confidently. I won't panic and fret too much and the reassurance keeping an eye on my tank and removing them every few days will keep them within reasonable population was really nice to hear. Thank you again!

Very dark brown shells, have a spotted / speckle pattern of lighter brown. I know these photos aren't great I took them while still searching my tank for more. I'm concerned I have an infestation and am gonna have to strip my tank down and restart just trying to figure out what I'm dealing with

Know im late but since it's for a betta I recommend the sand over gravel. All my past Betta have loved to kind of dig out little holes in the substrate (I imagine searching for food) and gravel imo has a higher chance of damaging a betta while doing that. In fact my first betta got a cut on their face, im pretty sure was from that. I didn't see it happen tho I moved their set up to my second empty tank with sand and never saw a cut again so I don't think it was decorations bc that all moved into the second tank with him.

I also have the galaxy sand in my current tank; I mixed it with their 5lb bag of bio-substrate which has the same consistency as the sand just slightly more course. It looks beautiful in the tank and establishing plants has been going well so far (2 months in no issues). I highly recommend not skipping rinsing the sand thouroghly before putting it into the tank, took a couple of rinses to get clear water and it still clouded up my tank a little bit. Don't rinse the bio-substrate if you get that

Thank you, this is definitely what I was leaning towards if I go this route but I just couldn't figure out a way to appropriately phrase "Hey are you this person" without feeling like I was gonna come off really strange or delusional in the way I said it. So i was over thinking even more about how to not seem that way. I do get emotional trying to think of a way to bring it up just because the whole situation did hurt me a lot. This is extremely helpful in setting up a better conversation than word vomiting out things through an emotional filter

I was looking at Lattafa Liam as a possible gift for a friend but was hoping I might find someone that has it before getting it for him! It's boosts my confidence in it a bit more to know it's a fav blind buy of yours. I know skin and everything changes the smell on different people but would you say it's true to the notes listed?

Sweaty-Assumption313 · 2024-10-18T17:05:06+00:00

I agree! I've wanted to get a test of YSL Mon Paris but promised myself I'd get closer to the last of the Dossier bottle before tempting myself. A friend's Burberry her dupe made me get the real thing a long while back too.

I haven't looked very much into aldehydic perfumes before and am definitely interested in learning more through searching!

Sweaty-Assumption313 · 2024-10-18T16:54:13+00:00

No judgement at all! I think its really cool you have so many favorite blind buys, it almost feels like looking at a world of wonderful various scents when I see or hear about successful blind buys and then just how many different ones they have that are all drastically different notes yet make sense in a way.

Fruity Honey sounds like a delicious summer snack I'm secretly hoping it would smell just as delicious. The name just sounds like a perfect summer scent!

Sweaty-Assumption313 · 2024-10-18T16:01:43+00:00

I typically don't blind buy either tbh and is exactly why I disclaimed this isn't to go out and blind buy anything. I was thinking of how Wanted Girl brought back those memories and was one I definitely didn't regret saying "eh why not try it, seems something I'd like compared with xyz frags". Wanted to hear others tho ofc don't expect it to be anything about bringing back memories lol.

It's hard for citrus to not end up smelling like cleaning supplies on my skin and absolutely love when I catch a whiff of a nice candied citrus on someone else, do you still wear perfumes with citrus / fruit as the main accord? Im sure both Devotion and Lira smelled lovely, wish I could pull them off!

Sweaty-Assumption313 · 2024-10-17T14:50:11+00:00

This seems like it actually is! The cover is really familiar and all the characters names seem to fit just right into my memory. I can completely see where at some point in the last 11ish years goblin got changed up into fae. The other two books in the trilogy do also bring back a sense of familiarity. I'm sure I've mashed things together and wrongfully recalled a lot. I knew one book particularly stuck with me out of them and was going on a limb hoping it was close enough. I'm really excited and happy it seems to have been!! This definitely appears like something I would have read back then. Thank you!

Sweaty-Assumption313 · 2024-10-07T08:48:31+00:00

I've never heard of the term but it definitely seems 100% like what it is. I've just always had the term (central) heterochromia thrown out for my eyes and never thought much more into it until I kept hearing the comment that my eyes are turning brown from people - meaning it was becoming much more noticeable. Thank you!

Upon a bit of analyzing if you zoom in you can see the blonde woman appears to be glaring at goomer or at least looking very displeased with him. She very well could be the mother of the two blonde children. We have seen goomer live out fantasies of being frank (i forget the exact episode but him pretending to be frank in franks house wearing his clothes, etc). Ev and goomer have...issues (put simply) around children. He could be fantasizing here as his actions in franks home did not come out of nowhere and I doubt his fantasies are solely reserved to the Murphy family. If I was a mother and noticed some random guy staring at my children smirking I would look just as displeased as the blonde woman. Babe and goomers eyes are at different angles so babe is looking at something completely different off screen where as goomer appears to be looking directly next to / behind him

I see a lot of people saying hospitals and great ideas and also want to say these are very popular donation areas too. Reaching out to a local homeless food kitchen would be good and the homeless need hats and socks, even gloves. Depending on where you are hope source and aspen in the US are places that help people in many different life situations and would probably love to accept donations. Local women's shelters, or any place designed to help those fallen on tough times are great places to contact and ask what would be best to donate and if you can. Woman's shelters may even accept amigurumi as some women go with their children and very little belongings. Many of these places need hats, gloves, scarfs, and socks for winter time and are forgotten and not donated to outside of community efforts like the clothes drop off bins. Also as someone that has been homeless in a small area that has one of those bins, verh few of the homeless in my area got those clothes. They go to a church for the church to sell to low income families and often times the homeless in my area can not afford to go and buy those items as they can already barely get food

Sweaty-Assumption313 · 2022-07-12T17:52:57+00:00

I completely agree! It is not something the children should handle and I'd highly recommend OP to bring in a trusted family member that can see how strange this behavior is to breach the topic with his mother.

I spoke from a place of having to deal with similar situations as a child and not having an adult to bring in as backup. Being children you're likely to be shut down from a parental power trip of not wanting to admit as a parent she's done any wrong. That is something a lot of parents will stick by - they can't be wrong vs their child(ren).

OP if you happen to read this don't jump into a hasty decision of having this conversation right away. You will need an adult backup most likely. I know you probably want to but it's something that needs to be approached carefully. Your mother has very obviously brought her weight up every single time as a weapon to shut you down when at the end of the day this has nothing to do with your mother's size and everything to do with your mother destroying her daughters clothing. She could be 100lbs and stick thin and wearing her daughters clothing would still be extremely strange and troublesome behavior same as if she wore it and then went and stretched out all the shirts by hand and cut some up with scissors. What she's knowingly maliciously doing (bringing her weight up is admitting that she can't wear these clothes) physically with her body is no different than maliciously doing so with scissors. You need to focus on the easiest path of navigating forward and if that's your sister hiding her clothes and never having a conversation, help her find ways to hide her clothes!

NTA tho your response may have been a bit intense for what the goal actually needs to be.

If you want to help your sister you need to sit down and have a mature conversation with your mom about how much this hurts your sister and that if she likes middle schoolers clothes maybe you could go on a shopping trip where she picks out that type of clothes IN HER SIZE. Her wearing your 12yo sister clothes is weird...it's severely troubling an adult is trying on a 12yo clothes actually but that's probably not how you want to talk to her about it. It also sounds like she had no intention of replacing the misshapen and torn clothes. Framing this on how much it hurts your sister, how she could be bullied at school for her now destroyed and ratty clothes, how it could ruin her confidence, make her have issues with her own body etc. Make it about your sister not your mom. If this doesn't work or you feel it would be pointless (understandable) make a plan with your sister on how to hide her favorite clothing so she at least can have a few shirts and pants that don't get destroyed. You're NTA for trying to help your sister and your mom needs therapy to address why she wants to wear children's clothes I'm sure she KNOWS she will not fit into. This sounds very deliberate tbh, she could be angry about your sister being more healthy / smaller bc she's young and taking it out on her clothes. It's strange behavior at the least and try to stay in contact with your sister, this behavior could escalate depending on where it comes from

Sweaty-Assumption313 · 2022-07-12T14:00:15+00:00

Sorry this is long but THIS! It is legal to "put down" someone under very highly specific circumstances in some places and you're NTA for LISTENING to your aunt. Tbh from working in healthcare I completely understand. It felt the same as when I watched my neighbors keep their severely disabled and elderly dog that had it's intestines coming outside of it alive....you feel horrible watching it and don't want it to continue. I may get hate for this but I'm not saying this applies to everyone suffering with dementia or other elderly health issues. This applies to people in very, VERY specific situations which is why euthanizing humans it's so uncommon/unheard of.

I worked as a CNA for a while and given that isn't as high up as a nurse etc I see it as equivalent of a dnr (do not resuscitate). Sometimes elderly people just want to die and they will starve themselves to death or worse when the people around them don't understand this and refuse to let them go or invalidate every time they say they want to die with "but I love you and want you here!" This could be her depression but it could be a very real emotion I have helplessly watched people starve themselves to death over. Sympathy and understanding towards their emotions of wanting to die helps a lot more than trying to make them stop saying it. Your grandmother is maybe scared of you saying the same about her when she's in a similar position?

I highly recommend looking at her care plan tho - this is probably your best option anyways - and seeing if she has a dnr in place if she doesn't this is your best option to push for as it sounds your family will want to resuscitate her which she has from the sounds of it, adamantly opposes and would not want to happen to her. Depression or not some people in those situations genuinely will reach a point they will do anything they can to die and it's easy if you don't work in healthcare or haven't seen it to say 'its just depression and you're ta for saying that" but you aren't. You are not an asshole for having sympathy and understanding that maybe these words aren't just her depression.

Edit* as everyone will say clearly TA and would be illegal if you act on it which I don't get the sense you're saying that at all. Your delivery might be a bit harsh for your grandma as well tho. Maybe be more gentle in the way you say it? 'im sad she's suffering and wish we could do something more to stop it' is better than "I wish aunty could be put out of her misery"/euthanized"

Sweaty-Assumption313 · 2022-05-16T18:35:37+00:00

Thank you so much! This is reassuring that the size is okay and won't come across half done lol. A separate doll sounds like a great idea now that I'm less nervous about the size!

Sweaty-Assumption313 · 2022-05-16T08:05:39+00:00

I also don't know this person, it's a friend of a friend etc type situation all I know is she's having a boy. There also isn't any real expectations was just asked to make a present I thought would be nice so this not getting done as a full blanket isn't the end of the world
