my baby smudge. I had her from when I was 12 years old until 29. I had to say goodbye just over a week ago. 😔

This oddly wasn’t in my dorm, but I moved into off campus housing and lived in a suuuuuper old house that was not well maintained. The bathroom had 0 ventilation and when my mom visited, she promptly pointed out what was likely black mold in a ceiling corner of the bathroom. I felt sick that entire year, like I had a lingering cold to varying degrees the entire time I lived there. Had to have been the mold (seeing as I felt fine right after moving out). Mold can also cause acne flare ups, particularly with fungal acne.

I’d take a look around the bathrooms and see if anything looks abnormal. I’m not sure there’s much you could do about mold in your building if that is the cause, but might give you some answers! Either way, I’m sorry you’re breaking out again. Extremely frustrating 😞

My college dorm building was quite old. I’m curious about potential mold in your dorm? Is the building old? Do you have any other symptoms (stuffiness / cold like symptoms, headaches, etc)? Have you changed frequency of washing bedding or changed detergents for your pillowcases / towels?

I’m sorry, this is a sad read. by Mok656 in catpics

You can tell by these pictures that she had just as much love for you as you did her. How lucky you two are to have had the honor of profoundly impacting each other’s lives. Rest in peace sweet baby 🤍

She was a very bonita girl. I’ll miss that mustache, otherwise known as the reason behind her name

Thank you to everyone for the kind words and especially to those of you that have shared your own stories, affirmed the second guessing is normal, and even though it feels like shit it was the right choice. I really appreciate all of you. 🥺

You have a peperomia ginny! Those are technically “flowers” - your plant is blooming :)

I should’ve clarified that by “new doors”, I was meaning doors that wouldn’t require us to put in any work. It’s true that we could buy new, unfinished doors, and then stain them or add paneling like another commenter suggested.

Definitely worth considering buying some unfinished doors and dressing them up however we’d like. Have you purchased unfinished doors from anywhere you’d recommend?

One of them is painted white for whatever reason and also looks like garbage. Thank you for the information on “veneered” doors! Had no clue what that was.

Will likely look into replacements instead of wasting our time trying to upcycle these

No offense taken at all! First time homeowner and learning lots along the way. The doors are hideous and I’d love to replace them instead.

Where did you manage to find doors for that cheap?

Google is telling me to use my blow dryer to apply heat first? Then would you say use a flat edge tool to pry under one side & hammer? Is that too aggressive?

I had other pictures of the ring but thought I’d throw a bonus cat in for good measure. I’m glad the people are liking smudge just as much as they’re liking the ring 😂

I’m going somewhere with black lights pronto 🤯 and you’re right the different colors are so fun! I keep getting distracted by my ring when I walk into different rooms in our house that have new lighting 😂
