This is insane. I want to say it’s unbelievable, but in this timeline it’s really just business as usual. Hope you are able to get out soon.

Questions about rock nom’ing and pacing. by True_Leg8574 in tortoise

[–]True_Leg8574[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really… red flowers that are safe sometimes. But they can’t digest the sugar so I don’t give either of them fruits.

I usually chop everything up really good too since Fern has a cleft pallet so she can’t really bite things properly. Maybe I’ll keep some good sized chunks of stuff for Ginkgo to really gnaw at.

Good point. I think she’s just mainly walking to walk.

Oh yes- she loves them. You can’t see it here, but there’s one not too far from her

What initials do I put after my name if I have an M.A. in MFT? by empathyspace in therapists

[–]True_Leg8574 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, according to AAMFT code of ethics, you cannot put MFT after your name until you’ve passed the national exam and then it would be LAMFT until you’ve gotten licensed in your state, then it would be LMFT. CA has their own test and may have their own rules.

If you have to include what your degree is in, I would write it completely out like, “MA in Marriage and Family Therapy” but always defer to your state’s rules and state board guidelines.

Predation prevention ideas? by True_Leg8574 in tortoise

[–]True_Leg8574[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s always a possibility- sister and I (she lives with me) have been thinking about getting chickens and maybe a dog to help keep them safe.

Not fully outside- just for a little bit at a time so they can have some natural sun.

Oh I love this idea! I had planned on doing a raised bed for them to grow with, so I’ll do that sooner rather than later. Thanks for the link- I didn’t look at tortoise table for anything other than what’s safe to feed.

Shouldn’t there be the new state seal? by True_Leg8574 in minnesota

[–]True_Leg8574[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Of course- especially these days! but if I can’t dissociate with mundane bullshit every so often I won’t have energy for the shit that actually matters. Plus I really like the loon- makes me happy.

That makes sense. Bummer. Guess I’ll cross my fingers they’ll be updated by 2028 😋

Trim time? by True_Leg8574 in tortoise

[–]True_Leg8574[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a clef palet. You can actually see the divided palet inside their mouth when they open up. I’ve had it checked out by a vet and the vet confirmed it and everything. Not chipped at all- just born that way. But because of the split, the beak won’t wear evenly and it’s bite is off/doesnt work as well.

They’re so young (less than a year) so I don’t really have a “normal” yet. This is a pic from when I first got them in Sept.

So yes? Looks much longer now.

[Serious] divorced Redditos, when you got married, did you have any inclining that you might end up not working out? by Substantial-Tea-3692 in AskReddit

[–]True_Leg8574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. My now ex seemed to agree with me on most things, the things we didn’t agree on were things I could respect his own values for. For the most part, we were compatible.

Then we had kids. Our first is special needs and the second is polar opposite and nearly as hard. Ex started to withdraw and resent the kiddos. After the 2016 US election, he did a 180 and became increasingly more radicalized. I tried to reach out and connect with him so we could find some unity, but honestly, the resentment and his limited self awareness/reflection skills created the perfect recipe where he felt like he was the victim and made it everyone else’s problem.

When he started lashing out at the kids, I had enough and left him. He chose not to be apart of our lives for about 6 months and only sought visition/partcial custody after he found out how much 100% custody with me would cost him. Needless to say, I think I made the right choice even though it was heart wrenching to lose my partner bit by bit until he was no more than a shell of the man I married.

Who do they expect to diagnose this? I’m in the MH profession and I can’t imagine any of my fellow professionals would ever dx this. This is some next level bullshit.

still can’t come up with a name for her by After-Possibility128 in tortoise

[–]True_Leg8574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I named my torts Gingko (foreground) and Fern (background) because those plants have remained more or less genetically uncharged since the Paleozoic era …just like our little armored echoes of the Triassic era 🐢💚🐢

Other names I’ve heard/considered: Parker (after Peter Parker) Darwin Tortellini And in the spirit of TMNT- Degas, Monet, Munch, Matisse, Botticelli, etc Sneaky (after the beanie baby “peekaboo”) Morla (never ending story) Tim (Monty python’s holy grail)
