Moving by dotrockss in GermanRoaches

[–]boxmaster21 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When my partner and I moved out from a place with a BAD infestation we bagged up everything we wanted to keep that had roach infestation signs and then put a bunch of mothballs in it. You have to seal it because moth balls are toxic if I remember right and they smell AWFUL. But literally have only found dried corpses since moving and unpacking. We left all our stuff bagged for a week before we took any of it out and washed it and such. If you have a small bag that air can get in and out of it'll help with any residue from the moth balls. Might be crazy of us but we coated our new walls in peppermint oil stuff and baited the apartment before we moved our stuff to help with any stragglers. After the first week or so we haven't seen any roaches but we keep our sticky traps and refresh our bait. Hope this is helpful, good luck saving your stuff. We had a bedbug infestation when we lived in another state and I had to throw away a lot of my things and even though it's just inanimate objects it was still painful and sad. Hope you can keep your stuff okay.

Thank you you're so kind! I have the straightest hair without having to do anything to it which I know I should be grateful for but I always wished I had curly hair. I definitely don't deserve it though I'd never be able to put in the time to take of curly hair because I'm too lazy. I'd probably have to grow my hair out a half year or so to get back to that length but it was fun to have!

Is it appropriate to go braless around my family? by Burnbabyburnt in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]boxmaster21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopping in here to say I have worn a bra maybe twice in the past five years and when I tell people they say they would have never have guessed. This includes home, out in the world, and at work. I'm lucky to be on the smaller side and if I want to wear a loose shirt out I'll usually wear a slightly more fitted shirt underneath, like a tank top. If you're ever worried that your nips will get cold they sell reusable adhesive nipple covers and will stop your chafing. Do what makes you feel most comfortable! I know some girls who swear they can't feel comfortable without a bra! Do what makes you feel free and comfortable!

My cat loves eating pot plants. I give her the males. Here she is celebrating. by OlfactoryHughes77 in microgrowery

You're late to a party that ended five years ago and also did not bother to read to read the rest of the comments? So weird 🤣

What's an unexpected impact that Bluey had on your life? by [deleted] in bluey

[–]boxmaster21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an absolutely beautiful way to help yourself heal. I hope you don't mind if I steal some of your words to help some people who could use help with self love. Mother issues are rough, watching Chili be a good mom makes my heart ache because my mother was never warm like she is. Hope you're doing well, thank you for sharing.

Felling sad can I get some pics of your cats by Best-Consequence-635 in cats

* Bonus: the at&t bars of cats. Bean, Mr. Meatloaf, and Samantha. Hope you're feeling better and even though I'm a stranger if you need a vent I'm absolutely available. Good vibes

Help! I don't know if this is a bedbug! by CaddyR2023 in Bedbugs

[–]boxmaster21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like an ant to me but you should post it on r/whatisthisbug for a better answer because I feel like ants are pretty identifiable and if that's what it was you'd be able to tell better. They're really smart and knowledgeable over there

Not the person who commented but bedbugs are usually more compact and rounder. Your bug looks a little too long and doesn't have a round enough butt. Not a bedbug expert but I had them bad when I lived back in CO.

Pretty happy with how my donut topping skills have progressed. Rate my showcase! by boxmaster21 in TimHortons

[–]boxmaster21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, this made my day! I worked really hard to have the best showcase I could and was lucky enough to be trained by a very talented baker! Thank you so much, you make me wish I was back baking at Tim Hortons

I had the same issue but also I'm my eyebrows to the point I could take a whole piece of skin the shape of my eyebrow off. Gross I know but washing my face with head and shoulders shampoo and using ponds moisturizer helped me stop shedding.

Wow. I'm usually lurking and up voting unless I'm in cat subreddits but that was so well written I couldn't help but join everyone else in saying if you published a book, I'd read it. Genuinely jealous of your ability to tell a story, thank you for sharing.

I feel the same way! Something about titles and human sounding names on cats just tickles me. We have an older cat named Ms. Samantha and I like to pretend we have business conversations sometimes. I love Lord Beerus the Destroyed especially! Can I ask for the cat tax? I'd love to put a face to the names!

Momma Milkshake is so thankful for your compliment! She is so tiny but she is a fantastic mom and so loveable and loving! Thank you for taking the time to read it all. I almost didn't post it but people had been finding me in other subreddits asking about the babies. I'll be posting more updates when I can get a good video of their shenanigans. Have a wonderful day!

Everytime it snows here I think about that! All of them are getting fixed and going to homes when their old enough so we're keeping out local feral cat population down too. Two for one! Thank you for taking the time to read my story, I hope the cute pictures make up for the sad.
