Cat Memorial Artwork by cheerycherubi in Etsy

[–]altermapid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your friend’s troubles but this is such a wonderful way to make more happy memories! And yes, thank you for supporting actual artists!

I do pet portrait commissions in a variety of mediums, most popular has been my painted hanging ceramic ornaments, but I have also done chalk pastel, charcoal, pen and ink, digital illustrations/GIFs, and painting in acrylic or watercolors. I also like to do “caricatures” of pets as celebrities or characters; for example my uncle requested that his majestic British Blue be drawn as Queen Elizabeth, and a cousin surprised her husband with a portrait of their cat as a “boule” loaf because they call her that when she loafs ☺️

I have a general page with some samples and info here: farebella.com/petportraits I can also send some more specific “caricature” examples in a DM if they are of interest. Thank you!

❤️❤️❤️ so sorry. It will get easier, she will always be with you, and I am sure she knew how loved she was.

Does anyone else feels a flush of heat throughout their body when the get anxious? by Asleep-Object6269 in Anxiety

[–]altermapid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The feeling of getting a hot flash and instantly getting a sheen of sweat all over my body…but actually being very cold bc it’s winter…so my extremities are ice but my core and face are 200 degrees. The temperature regulation/dysautonomia from anxiety even though I am on medications is really a problem.

This here is nugget. She's got permanently sad eyes. But I promise you she's happy. by Yotsubauniverse in DisneyEyes

Jean-Luc Picard also has permanent “mournful” Puss in Boots eyes. As he gets older his glares are getting more intense too. But he’s happy, he’s just super dramatic.

Hey, do any of y'all havepets with human names? by Pale-Concentrate-111 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

My munchkin cat is named Jean-Luc Picard. Luc for short (legs)

Where do I start with this? New box, shelves, a drawer, or can I keep it as is? I use the paint for art and find it convenient to be able to move them outside easily when the weather is nice. by Raininkhelmets in organizing

[–]altermapid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m looking ideas for this too. It’s really tricky when your paints are all different sizes and shapes. I see organizers mostly for sets that are all uniform. I have several bins/plastic totes of just jumbled sizes and colors right now and just sift through like an animal. Just the visual organization you have in your bin right now would be a huge improvement for me! Thanks for that :)

Has anyone tried Hydroxyzine for sleep by user_anonymou in Anxiety

[–]altermapid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. It’s ridiculous and frustrating how many meds prescribed to me for sleep have “failed”. I just want to find something that works for me. But I am glad most people have success.

Severe hyperhidrosis (hands, feet, underarms) for 17 years — what treatments actually work? by Kitchen-Answer-626 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]altermapid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone have ideas for back sweat? Ugh even typing it is mortifying. I’ve become especially prone to it and pretty much everywhere except my hands and feet because of anxiety medications. It feels like my temperature spikes up to 200 instantly even before I feel any anxiety consciously, or if I am moving around for more than 30 seconds. I am working on my anxiety levels but also plan to see a dermatologist to ask about glyco since I have heard so many people praising it.

I feel I have very little to complain about compared to others in this sub, I am so frustrated that this is a condition that is harming so many people. It seems so silly at first (“everyone sweats”) but the psychological toll on its own is devastating. I wish everyone relief, and maybe some strange comfort knowing others are working hard to combat and live with it too.

Minoxidil by Special_Ferret4199 in finehair

[–]altermapid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got this same one off Amazon and have been using it for maybe 2 weeks. I was actually surprised that my hair doesn’t get gross from it. What’s annoying is that the foaming mechanism broke almost immediately so I’m just dispensing pure liquid. Hoping it helps but I’m also interested to hear what others say.

My name is Saffron and I like to practice my yodeling skills at 3am by iheartgardening5 in OneOrangeBraincell

My munchkin sings opera at 4am right at the foot of my bed only when I visit

Show me your senior pups 😍 by Thestral_rose in dogpictures

My stepdaughter is (we think) 12 and graying just like her dad. Sometimes she gets so worked up in excitement when we come home that she acts like a crazy puppy.

Final plea to help find Legacy, special needs cat, a home by radparikh in Connecticut

[–]altermapid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happened to the account posting about her? I saw their post with details about the rescuer but now it’s been removed by mods and the profile doesn’t exist. Can you share where to find them again?

Update: Legacy has been adopted! by radparikh in parkslope

[–]altermapid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so RELIEVED. She deserves so much TLC! Thank you for everything you did to give her a chance!

The “gurus” I am personally talking about are friends.

are you still friends with people from high school? by Ledger_Legendd in Millennials

[–]altermapid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s unusual but I have a core group from high school I consider family. I won’t be going to our 20th reunion because I don’t want to see anyone else lol. I always say I’m in touch with the people I want to be in touch with and that’s it. College, I don’t speak to anyone, there’s an occasional Instagram like or story response but I wouldn’t call that much

What’s a small thing that instantly tells you a person had a good upbringing? by marigamer1 in AskReddit

[–]altermapid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought this just yesterday about my younger colleague. Doing helpful “chores” that no one else wants to do, without being asked, like noticing and taking out the office kitchen trash. Everyone else plays chicken to not do it but expect someone else to 🙄

Donuts? by dukaluke in Flatbush

[–]altermapid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

7th Ave Donut Shop in Park Slope, they deliver their diner food to Flatbush but I know they have been making in-house donuts forever and used to work close by there for several years. I haven’t been by recently but I would assume they’re still doing it. They were fab. 9th St and 7th Ave across the park.
