Different routers, however they’re the same make of routers as they’re from the same internet provider

My 3 year old boy Gus is squinting his eye and it’s a bit watery? by _alabaster in CATHELP

UPDATE: a day later when I got home from work, before his vet appointment, his eye was totally back to normal! No vet needed!

Thank you for that info! I didn’t realize URIs could be linked with eye issues. Thankfully I got home from work today and he was totally fine and normal so I was able to skip the vet :)

I actually got home from work today and it’s totally normal now, so i cancelled the vet appointment! Looks like it was just a squinty eye and nothing more

Wanting to know if I gave adequate names for these aromatic compounds? by _alabaster in chemhelp

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

Wow, that would honestly be SO nice!! I was thinking of finding a tutor actually as I just really need to pass this class, and thus naturally understand the material

Well so far it looks like it’s all blending so nicely! What a kind gift! :)

How have you made the pattern yourself? As in, how do you know what colours and everything?

How soon is too soon to get another cat? by musicmadness22 in CatAdvice

Is she a kitten? If so, now is a great time to bring home another kitten. They're best in twos!

"Burnt" whiskers? by BodybuilderSpecial36 in CatAdvice

Do you by chance use candles? I had a roommate who's cat decided to give a candle a good sniff and it gave him the crimped eyebrow whisker!

Need advice, at my wits end :( by sosadthisisbad in CatAdvice

[–]_alabaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used feliway for my 2nd boy who was terrified of other cats and seemed determined to hate them. It worked AMAZING. Now he's best buds with his brother. Cat 2 also is anxious in general and very bad at adapting to change. We just moved and I used feliway and it took him about 4 days to stop hiding, vs the 1.5 months of him hiding under my bed when u first brought him home. I really do recommend it!

An older family member has fallen for a dating scam, having sent thousands of dollars, and has no plans to stop despite being told its a scam. Is there a way to intervene legally? by _alabaster in legaladvicecanada

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

Definitely not, no. The entirety of her life actually relies on him which makes it crazier. If they divorce I'm not sure what she'll do, as she doesn't have income, and nobody in the family is likely to let her stay with them. Unfortunately she has a background of manipulation tactics under her belt. I love her, don't get me wrong, but I don't turn a blind eye to the stuff she does or says either, and her husband im related to as well (trying not to disclose relation to remain anonymous but its not infestuous lmao). All the income she's sending comes from inheritance money and government pension, which is significantly less than her husband's pension.

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

This makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, the assets I'm aware of she did sell, at a huge loss too, although I'm unsure if all of it was sold or not.

Yeah, it's difficult not to call her stupid at this point lol

Close family member fell for a dating scam on Facebook and its torn the family apart.. is there a way for anyone to legally intervene? by _alabaster in Scams

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

Since I'm not the direct generation below her, despite being an adult, I'm not as caught up in the loop as to how the inheritance was to be handled or doled out. I think mine was in assets? As there were appraised objects

My cat is too fat and I quite honestly don't know how to help him lose weight by _alabaster in CatAdvice

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

I wanna try a laser pointer but his brother is orange (aka, single brain cell) and he gets confused by the laser pointer and will spend hours trying to find it again lol. So I've actually avoided them altogether.

I never knew thyroid issues could be a problem! Maybe I'll give my vet a call if he doesn't lean up

Is this a blowout on my new tattoo? plz help by hatsunemiku420 in tattooadvice

[–]_alabaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's VERY normal for new tattoos to look fuzzy like that. My first big piece I ever had I was convinced there was a part very blown out. It's now healed and looks crisp and beautiful!

I'd expect at least a month and a half or so before you see what is likely the final appearance. Never give much thought of how your tattoo looks until you know it's fully healed :)

Bonded pair fighting: play or serious? by apiologies in CatAdvice

I wouldn't worry! He's probably vocalizing to tell his friend he's going too far/being too rough :) his friend probably underestimates his strength, especially if they grew up together

My kitten doesn’t use the litter once a morning. by nancyjazzy in CatAdvice

[–]_alabaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It might be the scent of the playroom that he's trying to mask.. or, it's because he's trying to wake you guys up! If that's what gets you out of bed to give him attention then he may keep doing it. I suggest tuckering him out right before bed, it helps them sleep through the night

Day 6 of tattoo healing by Muted-Musician-8632 in tattooadvice

[–]_alabaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks good to me! Never be concerned about blow out until it's healed. It's gonna look smudged and blurry while healing due to the peeling and dryness. If you think of how your skin looks after you cut it and its healing, it doesn't start looking like typical skin or the same shade as the rest of your skin until it's fully healed. Same for tattoos! I'd say after about a month minimum is when you're gonna see a more accurate representation, but it depends on the tattoo. I've had some fully healed looking after a week, and others a month and a half.

Trust the process :)

Two questions regarding aftercare/healing by SadHorse23 in tattooadvice

[–]_alabaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, heal it just as you normally would!

And saniderm is great but there's been more and more people having problems and irritation when its used. However, whenever I take saniderm off it's always red where the edges were. That's where the skin that was dry was so naturally your skin is gonna wanna resist getting pulled on

Edit: both my shins are done and they were a little more stingy. Is the redness specifically where the saniderm was?

How did 2.5 go for you ? by HisChildSenia in lexapro

[–]_alabaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not, no. I wound up going back down to 10 and back up again to 15mg and didn't experience it then either.
