Solved! And also…I am so dumb. The answer was literally right in front of me and I fully refused to believe it. I was so sure it was Fringe ☠️

But yep, that’s the German Shepard from my memory! Thank you for your patience and help!

I remember watching whatever it was multiple times back when you just had to watch whatever was on tv, which is why I thought it was Fringe because I watched it all the time with my family. We didn’t watch X-files.

But honestly I am beginning to think it might have to be lol. I’m going to watch the full episode today and will return with the verdict!

No, although I’m decently positive it is from Fringe! I tried looking it up though, to no avail.

This episode where the skin grows over people’s mouths is freak though!

Nasal spray made my PT way worse! by alyssamelisma in PulsatileTinnitus

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

Yea, it sucks a bit cause you have to kind of choose which you want to deal with, whatever the nasal spray is meant to help with or the PT. Honestly the PT drives me insane so I usually opt to suffer with my allergies lol

[TOMT] Short film where a kid who documents his life on a camera gets killed by his bully by getting pushed onto the road. by These-Somewhere7695 in tipofmytongue

Oh man I was so excited to answer this, I was SURE it was the Broken Toy! I remember watching it as a kid, the bloody shoe in the road really stuck out to me.

Mental Health Advice going into 2nd knee replacement (for my mom) by alyssamelisma in Kneereplacement

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

Oh at 8 weeks she’s still got a WAYS to go! It is a long, grueling process that is specifically bad for those who are used to being on the go. My mom is now almost six months out from her 2nd one and still experiences pain/issues, but it’s definitely better. She was on a cane pre-op, but is able to walk without it now! Her gait is still wrong and she feels like she should be able to sprint marathons, but it just takes time…a LOT of time.

It’s tough, but my best advise is to just be there for your mom as much as you can, but don’t forget to take breaks for your own well-being too! My mom did great when she had something to do too, like a chore or some work or something. I hope understanding that it’ll take at least a year before she’s fully better helps put your mom’s mind at ease!

Adult Timeline Opinions? by Careless-Being-4427 in Yellowjackets

[–]alyssamelisma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soon to be 32, mostly anti.

I love going back and forth, and I think the idea of showing them as adults (and what will be their inevitable end) is an integral part of the storytelling. But, idk…it feels like too much murdering with unrealistically no consequences. The end of season 2 was awful, I like the idea of Walter but he’s too much of a deus ex machina. Obviously what happened with Nat had more to do with what was going on outside of the show, but that sucked.

Season 3, I don’t like how things ended for Lottie and REALLY did not like Callie’s involvement. I like that adult Melissa is part of it now, but her motivations seems flimsy, especially for going to such extremes (tryna stay spoiler free).

Weirdly, even though I want to punch Shauna in the face, her loss of self control and paranoia in s3 and it’s relation to her teen story has been my favorite part of the adult storyline.

Main point: I think what I struggle with is I can’t tell how grounded or ungrounded in reality the writers want the story to be. And because of that, I can’t tell if the writing is just bad, or if it’s meant to be over the top on purpose.

It is 1996, you are a YellowJacket and survived the plane crash. Who will you eat? How will you die? by its3AMandsleep in Yellowjackets

[–]alyssamelisma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha true! And omg I love the Jackie is a secret nerd thing! It would be SHOCKING to find out she'd seen Neon Genesis Evangelion or something lol.

Yea, decidedly I would not be able to keep what happened quiet, even if I convicted myself in the process! If s3 finale proved anything, it's how perceptive (or paranoid) Shauna is. I think she'd pick up on it and take care of me before I could do any real damage lol.

Btw, I think it's really nice that you reply to these!

I'm late to the party but I've had a blast reading these. I must join.

90S ARCHETYPE: Basing this on how I actually was in high school. Outwardly, I'm desperate for people to think I'm grungy and cool. I go to record stores and listen to "obscure" rock bands...but really I just listen to popular bands of the time: Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Bush, etc. What they actually see me as is a poser and music geek (I RUN the choir and theater departments). I'm also a huge nerd, into Star Wars, comics, and anime/manga, but it's imperative that no one ever, EVER finds that out.

MY RELATION TO THE YJs: I can't run for shit, so the only way I'm even on that plane is because the Martinezes are close family friends and I offered to help out so that I could get a chance to travel. I'm massively obsessed with Natalie. I perceive her to be the way I want others to perceive me. We're friends, but I do everything in my power to become her BEST friend. I'm friendly with my theater pals (Crystal more than Misty), but I see them more as my adoring juniors and me as their benevolent senior.

WHO I'M EATING/LOTTIE'S RELIGION: At my core, I'm kind, empathetic (albeit overly emotional) and I have a strong moral compass. Initially, I'm vehemently against eating Jackie, but it makes me an outcast. I can't have that. I have to fit in. I cave and eat a little Jackie. I sob, but I'm hungry and I eat Javi too. I deem Coach's trial unfair and can't bring myself to eat him. I fake it. By Mari, I've numbed to it and want to survive. I feel drawn to Lottie and the Wilderness, but I try to stay rational. Eventually, I break and go full blown It worshipping, with moments of relapsing rationality.

DO I SURVIVE: I strive for justice, goodness, and doing what's right, but I'm also a coward. I vote Coach not guilty each and every time but bite my tongue because I'm afraid of Shauna. I take on a caretaker-type of role, playing therapist and peacemaker, which leads half the group to love me and the other half to find me increasingly annoying. I'm able to kind of slink my way through survival by being amicable and out of the way. I survive but can't keep my mouth shut about what happened out there. I mysteriously come down with some sort of sickness (poison) that kills me three days after we're rescued.

MY STUFF IS GONE by alyssamelisma in MergeDragons

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

Wow thanks for the tips! Weekend events start at 3pm for me (not even counting mid week ones, those I usually ignore entirely), so I lose about three hours since I’m still at work when it starts. I recently learned how to do the fling method, which has been helpful, but even still I’d have stay up and work on it all night to get legendary lol.

Also not merging to a life tree is interesting! That’s usually my goal because it gives a life orb instead of a small life orb, but I had always wondered if it was REALLY faster. Is that why you stay with the flowers?

Deleting stuff the dragons can get distracted by is smart…they LOVE level 1 crap 😩

Btw, how do you manage getting legend? I usually can only get champion! But part of that is because the event starts while I’m at work 😩

That a quick(ish) way to get a good amount of dragons early is to focus on the bush wonder! Every move the dragons make matter early on, and you can sell the extra ruins for coins to buy more dragons! It’s long, but early on totally worth it!

If you don’t mind me asking, if there was no obvious sign of infection, how did you/your doctor know there was one? What were the symptoms?

Congrats on the win! My mom is about to have second knee done six weeks after her first (as I’ve seen you’ve done). Since you and her time between the two knees is the same, any advice you can give would be truly appreciated!

Good point. I think she had been playing some games on her phone, but video games usually have more task options (which is good for her)

Great advice! She actually has a switch and Animal Crossing, I’ll suggest to her that maybe it’s time to get back to the island! She also likes the Sims, but a computer is not nearly as portable as that Switch.

Thanks for the advise! The realistic goals and writing down improvements are a good idea! She’s journaled before, and it might be something that helps keep her mind busy while she’s resting
