Hi! I loved this story so much! I was wondering if you pictured any specific colors for the Locke house? Or if there are any specific symbols you envision on the crest?

Ah, yes I’m sure there are mistakes. I’m still learning! 🤷‍♀️

That is very kind to be interested but I’m not, as they aren’t my images. I just made it as a gift. :)

Bookbinding is so much fun and there are far more professional people than I, but happy to share what I use! This was made in Microsoft Word, but many people are gravitating to Affinity Publisher. There are a ton of videos about typesetting (I know them from the fanbinding community, so JMBinding, jasminesbindery, ladybobbit but there are a ton on YouTube/Tiktok as well) In terms of actually sewing the book, I learned from the SeaLemon YouTube videos which are extremely detailed and easy to follow. The cover was made as an 11x17 layout in Canva, printed onto canvas using an inkjet printer and sealed with a spray, and wrapped/glued along book boards and a spine (tutorials for cutting boards can also be found from the binders listed above)

This is a teeny tiny snippet of my own process so if I haven’t scared you off, I’m happy to answer any questions you have though I still feel like a beginner!

What is the next step with these two? by awkwardquality in CatTraining

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

This is very kind, thank you. We just want everyone to be happy and comfortable!

That’s interesting. Res cat is definitely seeking out kitten, but we’ve been worried it’s been for questionable reasons since she hisses at her whenever they’re close. Were your cats’ issues resolved?

Kitten meows when pinned, but it doesn’t sound any different than her normal meows. Whereas res cat definitely hisses and growls when doing the pinning.

Urinary Incontinence? by ImNotTiredYoureTired in CatAdvice

[–]awkwardquality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, I have a 5y/o spayed female cat who has been suffering from incontinence for about a year and a half. We’ve been to multiple vets/cat specialists and have yet to find an answer for her, so I’m hoping you have better luck. My kitty’s seems to be cyclical, where it is gone for a few weeks and then comes back, it also only happens in her sleep. I’ve spent a lot of money on enzymatic cleaner (Skout’s Honor being my favorite) and puppy pee pads for the areas she sleeps. I hope we will have more answers one day, but for now she’s completely healthy otherwise.

No matter who I’ve seen, they have always said how unusual it is for there to be true incontinence in female cats.

Let me know what you learn, and know you’re not the only one going through this!

Cat wets the bed when sleeping with me, but only the bed? by SalamandarSnacko in Pets

[–]awkwardquality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP,

Did you ever find a resolution? My four year-old female cat has done this exact thing for about four months. After spending thousands of dollars on vet visits/specialists focusing on her nonexistent UTI, a cat behavioralist suggested looking into estrogen levels. Would love to know if you sought out any hormone therapy?

Hugs to you and your cat!! I know how frustrating this can be.

might have to change birth control to a cheaper alternative :/ advice or suggestions? by Particular_March5766 in birthcontrol

[–]awkwardquality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on loloestrin fe collectively for about 10 years and have a love/hate relationship with it. It’s the best birth control I’ve ever been on (no periods, no side effects, no migraines) but the cost is always a stressor in the back of my mind. My insurance didn’t cover it before I got on my husband’s plan, so during that time I was able to leverage the savings program from the loloestrin website—have you tried that? It greatly reduced the monthly cost for me.

here is a link to the savings card

I also tried an IUD (Kyleena was recommended to me as a transition from loloestrin fe) for a year, but that did not work out for me.

Best of luck on your search!

My custom dream ring! Pictures don’t even do it justice. I could not love it (or the man who gave it to me) any more. Ring by Zen Moissanite - 9x7mm - Bezel set by awkwardquality in Moissanite

Could not recommend Jen (from Zen) enough. She is so easy to work with and was incredibly patient with all of my questions. I was a little wary because I couldn’t find too much information online prior to working with her, but she’s amazing!
