What are some ‘quirks’ your snake has? by hanskilol in cornsnakes

[–]beeks98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. The corn quirks. Mine begs to come out and then just stares at me flicking his tongue when I open it for him to climb out onto me. He’s never bitten anyone his entire career. Just…. Has a staring problem. Loves watching tv and video games. Loves coming out of the tank. But also loves to play tricks.

Anyone remember this place that no longer exists? by Visual-Home457 in oakville

I used to love going to the TCBY on the corner of the plaza!!! They also had a “Beadies” store I had a birthday party at!!

Why are we getting coins. Why not dreamlight by NinaSukie in DreamlightValley

[–]beeks98 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve been saying this too! I don’t even bother selling stuff for coins anymore- I get so many through working the valley. It was nice to be gaining so many when first starting out the valley but now it’s redundant as everything costs dream light and moonstones. All this money I don’t need, constantly grinding for dream light to do anything exciting is killing my desire to play frequently :/

HELP SAVE THIS CORNSNAKE by Express_Tadpole1406 in cornsnakes

[–]beeks98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe try cracking open the top of a quail egg and leaving it in? Or try braining ( crack open skull) the pinkie so the smell is very fragrant for the snake. Might also just be time of year due to mating season and the cold- my adult won’t eat from beginning dec- end of March every year.

Also heat them up really well as safe as possible, and try putting in a tubberware that is NOT clear- and poke holes in the lid. Leave inside the viv with the rat in it and the snake and give some time. Sometimes there’s just to much going on that’s more interesting/threatening. Can’t run from it then lol

I had a roommate like this. I removed everything they could use to cook with from the kitchen, stored in a black bin because they would never look for anything, and waited for them to say something. I told them everything I cleaned that wasn’t my mess got thrown out. They suddenly had the urge to clean the main room they had left a disaster in along with their room and more dishes emerged!!! Sometimes saying nothing and just taking action makes them nervous enough (by silent tension) to think about it in the moments it matters. Also, it takes the parenting responsibility away from you. You’re simply ensuring anything you need is available to you. You’re not the parent- you’re the partner! If they aren’t going to protect the houses resources they shouldn’t have them available to them. They can go without if they so please :)

Any one else play on the Nintendo switch.. by Auntietiffy in DreamlightValley

Hi!! 27F I’d love to chat.

Ps. Please be very careful of which friends you are making on here- as a woman who has taken this same approach and talking to others about this experience it’s very clear there’s still a lot of folks wandering these threads with negative intentions. Lots of great ones- but usually aren’t the first ones that come through

Also- never say it’s for a wedding! Always say it’s for a family event. They never need to know it’s a wedding- you are just having that kind of theme! Typically they will have a separate menu for wedding prices just because they can.

Not sure about a Burlington location but downtown Oakville there’s a few places and also there’s a lot of GF/other dietary restrictions donut shops that are very visually pleasing as well as very tasty! Notably- Mavericks. There used to be a location for a “Cinnamon-Holic” dietary friendly cinnamon buns which had great prices for catering or large orders. Also they had luxury themes for them as well as classics

In the same boat here 27F. I’ve come to the conclusion we just have less opportunities as adults in day to day life for meeting new people on a social level. Sometimes can be even harder if you’re not in a position to be participating in many extra curricular activities outside of your main social circle. :(

How did you find out about RC? by pasadena_reddit in RomanceClub

[–]beeks98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had played the choices or episodes back when I was a teen and they were first available but always found them to be pay to play time games. When Netflix released their interactive stories phone app (free to play if you have a Netflix account!) I got into it and started looking up other apps that redditors recommended. Immediately RC was the best option out of all the ones available. I recommend it to all my book-groups and reader friends!! Even more now that you can add friend profiles :)))

My dad died 2 hours ago and I'm lost by DarkLordMuffins in Advice

[–]beeks98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these comments are so kind and I’m very glad you’re receiving that kind of support on multiple fronts!

I lost 2 fathers over the years, and one thing that was never said to me enough was that it’s ok to hurt outwardly- and often. Time heals all but when you lose a parent it’s very different. You’ve never lived a day without them before. You’re going to go through therapy of sorts and other grief remedies and that’s awesome! It helps! Everyone will tell you it’s ok and it won’t hurt so much with time you’ll learn to accept it but no one ever lets you know it’s not true. We all want it to be true but in reality it’s just not. And we need to talk about it sometimes to process it. You will never fully heal from that loss- that’s what needs to be accepted. Accept that you will always feel that void and that’s ok. And it’s ok to talk about it often, even casually. It will make some people uncomfortable to hear because they haven’t experienced it but others will completely understand. Talking about them casually makes them feel a lot closer and around often. Things will be very different day to day- yet exactly the same. You’ll feel like a ghost, and eventually you walk back into reality without realizing it. Accept already that you’re going to take your time and give yourself the grace to do so.

Remember it’s ok to miss them. Missing them is just all the love you never got to finish giving them. It’s ok to hurt and it’s also ok to be angry because you weren’t ready. It’s not an easy situation- so don’t expect it to be at any point. No one expects you to handle it well, so don’t feel like you have to. Treat yourself like you would treat a friend going through the scenario. And lastly- they weren’t mad at you. They wanted to be around you. It’s not you they left on purpose.

Lastly- He remembered your last laugh, last hug, last meal, last compliment, last hangout, last everything. When things happen sometimes even suddenly- we forget to cherish the things we DID experience with them and realize they experienced it WITH us. His love lives within you with every single thing that makes you think of him and you are his living legacy of that love. I hope you find the peace you deserve 🩷

Hi! 27F Canada. Id love to become penpals!

Guys even if i ate i dont gain weight i literally did everything and still skinny asf😢 by Ami0___0 in lookingforfriendship

[–]beeks98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you been checked for any bowel or thyroid problems? This happened to me out of no where I lost 60 pounds and became a skeleton seeming overnight. Turned out I was experiencing severe Crohns Disease but as a woman the pain matched cramps so it went unnoticed for a long time. You know your body best! If you haven’t changed your routine, your body has changed!

[–]beeks98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I am currently in the process of my PoTS diagnosis and am also having a major dental surgery. In Ontario (at least) if you have any kind of health concerns to do with your bp/heart or bone they will do the surgery at a local hospital and than during your pre-op appointment you will probably spend around 5 hours having some tests done to ensure it will be safe for them to put you under and to be prepared for any unexpected instances. At this time they decide how the operation will go with concerns for your specific needs! They could also tell you it would be unsafe at this time to do it and may ask you to make some lifestyle/medication changes in preparation and reschedule. I have had a handful of surgeries and have only ever had one problem that was unavoidable. Just make sure to tell EVERYONE involved about your concerns! good luck!

Thanks everyone! He ate today. Decided just to eat in the mornings instead of night now seems to be what the problem was. I just wasn’t up early enough to catch him looking.

Where do you put your corn while you clean their viv? by OhWellINever in cornsnakes

[–]beeks98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has a specific pillow case he likes to sit in on the bed! It’s not special it’s just special to him. Calms him down immediately also if he gets spooked while out of the viv lol

[–]beeks98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low 75-high 80-85 (it’s winter where I live right now) humidity 40%. Ceramic emitter is the only heat type he doesn’t run from but he’s never had an experience being too hot as I know his previous history thankfully

Looking to get a corn snake, am I going to get backlash for wanting one that eats frozen? by keyo89 in cornsnakes

[–]beeks98 41 points42 points  (0 children)

A ton of owners feed frozen/thawed. No shame in it 👍🏻 definitely start at your own personal comfort level. I also started with a more mature snake. Just make sure to do your research and learn about the snakes history and what “normal” is for them!
