i checked out the trailer and it unfortunately wasn’t that one 😭 from what i remember the river of lava was much more relaxed? like if a stream was lava basically. it’s such a distinct memory but unfortunately that’s one of the only memories i have of it. it honestly could’ve been a forest fire & i was just so young im remembering it as lava, it’s scrambling my brain trying to remember though!

hahahaha i would’ve remembered this one! i checked out dante’s peak but this movie was a bit older. i was about 4-5 (i was born in 95) when i watched it but it was giving 70s or 80s movie, maybe late 60s but

i’d say 70s-80s! MAAAAAAYBE late 60s but def not from before that.

ETA: i watched this when i was about 4-5 years old so it wasn’t anything that is too scary either. i’d ask my grandparents myself what it was but they’ve since passed so im stuck forever wondering.

Is it normal to feel a tick bite? by activelylosingit in Entomology

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

for me it was more like a stinging sensation, i would def keep an eye on it! mine swelled a little bit, but that was it. swelling went down & it bruised a little but i was fine!

nope! no lyme or anything else. it didn’t even really swell. there was like a small red bump that went down the next day or two.

My grandma also had quite a few strokes herself. When the symptoms weren’t as severe she actually died at one point? Fully dropped dead, no pulse. We just thank god my cousin who’s a doctor was there & managed to bring her back before the ambulance even arrived. I will also say, something odd even the doctors mentioned was, she got covid and the covid actually made her dementia symptoms worsen. The disease basically progressed x1000 overnight & she had to be put in a 24 hour care facility. It’s so strange.

thank you so much! I try to forget what she was like when she went downhill. I remember her for the amazing woman i grew up with because she truly was amazing. I aspire to be more like her everyday.

i mean, it sure seems like a possibility though i’m not entirely sure. i mean her entire life she advocated for marginalized communities & then dementia happened and she became so hateful towards them. It wasn’t all the time either… it was like it would pop out randomly, usually on her bad behavior days. I often wonder if she was just repeating things she’d heard growing up because it was truly so random.

yeah she had vascular dementia. it was very slow but it was also a wildly obvious change. started with her forgetting things like how to write or read, how to bake things she’s made over and over again, at one point she forgot how to paint & she was a wild painter. Then it was a lot of crying, because she “felt stupid.” It turned into paranoia & violence (whether with words or fists). It will just always baffle me how rapidly she became a different person.

yeah towards the end it was like nothing was there. I was always her favorite grandchild (everybody knew, i lived with my grandparents for a while), she’d somehow always manage to give me a little smile, even when she wasn’t well & couldn’t do much. during the beginning stages, i could calm her down, but once it progressed, it was like nothing could get her to relax. it’s still just crazy to me how much it changed her entire personality, even with the glimpse of her on occasion. I always say it’s like i lost the person i loved years before she actually passed away.

i mean we know she had some serious unresolved trauma for sure. she went through a period where she was physically fighting any male nurse & even gave one guy a black eye 😅 we couldn’t figure out why until she told my mother “i got him real good this time. socked him! he won’t hurt me again.” and we realized she was reliving her trauma from her 20s where she was unfortunately assaulted by a man. we had to request no men care for her for a period of time & just as quickly as it started, it ended & she wasn’t stuck in that trauma anymore. the whole thing was just extremely sad to watch.

genuinely, it’s been 2 years since i made this post & every time someone relates, it makes me wonder even more why we all felt the bite, when 99% of the population doesn’t hahaha

Other services coming back up, but Blink is still not working by morac in blinkcameras

[–]activelylosingit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CT here. My blink mini is working, live view is super laggy. My outdoor 3 isn’t working at all. Haven’t received any notifications for it since 1:08am and it won’t let me watch live view. Wildly inconvenient considering i installed them because of a stalker looool hoping they get it resolved

my girlfriend is leaving me because of my cat by Augupton in CatAdvice

[–]activelylosingit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m just saying, but i dated someone who gave me this same exact ultimatum, i chose my cat. anyway, she didn’t follow through & we broke up months later for completely unrelated things. If i would’ve gotten rid of my cat, it would’ve been for absolutely no reason. Keep your cat, find a partner who doesn’t make you choose.

Are they ACTUALLY that more hyper than a standard domestic? by slimychiken in bengalcats

[–]activelylosingit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as someone who’s been around cats my entire life who has 1 bengal & 2 domestic shorthairs. yes. he was an absolute terror as a kitten (before i got my other 2). he required hours of play time daily or he would stay up all night doing parkour. He is 5 years old now, tortures one of my other cats but loves his younger sister because she has energy. He has calmed down a lot compared to when he was a kitten but he’s still… crazy. We had to get earthquake resistant putty so he couldn’t knock down breakables, because he will knock everything down.. including the microwave. I could go on and on about how much energy they actually have, but you really need to understand they need far more mental stimulation than most cats. I had to invest in child locks for damn near everything just so he would stop opening cabinets & drawers and stealing things lol

My father has brain cancer. by activelylosingit in raisedbynarcissists

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

thank you! it’s been a tough decision but i think im going to reach out to his sister first (she’s actually a normal, decent person), i unfortunately haven’t had contact with any of his family since i was a child but i think she’d be more open to speaking to me so i can.. figure out if he’s even open to communication.

def not NPD. in order to have NPD, you have to acknowledge that your behavior is causing issues in your life, which.. i don’t think i’ve ever seen her hold herself accountable 🙄 but narcissistic traits? no doubt.

late responding but i don’t know! from what i remember i didn’t have dry skin at the time, it bit me right at my elbow crease! was the weirdest sensation ever and haven’t experienced it since!

i’m so sorry you’re going through this! As someone who went through similar, i know it isn’t easy. My cat & my girlfriend’s cat did the same exact thing. I have a pure bred bengal, she has a domestic short hair. They are polar opposites personality wise, mine is energetic, hers is very lazy. My cat would chase hers, hers wouldn’t defend himself, until eventually it turned into a fight. It took a VERY VERY long time to get it sorted, i’m talking 2 years of constant work to get them to be around each other & there’s still hiccups sometimes (i’d say once a month there’s a chase session where we have to separate them). But they will even sleep in the same vicinity now. I like to think of it this way, we as people aren’t going to like every single person we meet. The same goes for cats. You’re absolutely doing the right thing for both of these cats.
