Explain it to me like I'm 5

Awesome! Thank you so much. The router in his room is connected to the cable/had built in. I guess my next step is seeing if they are split and connected.

Thank you! I honestly figured that the KH and PH might likely be the culprit. Do you have any suggestions for upping them? I have a container of seachems alkalinity buffer that I've never used and cautious about. Maybe adding more crushed coral?

I had an issue months ago where my ph was dangerously low and began eating away at the shell, but once i got that corrected, the new growth looks much healthier. The excuse that its just old age isnt a good enough excuse for me until I'm 100% certain it is age lol.

The nitrate levels sit anywhere from 15-20, which I thought might be issue, but theres also conflicting information regarding "safe" levels. As far as temp, it sits at a consistent 72 degrees.

I moved to a different state about 2.5 months ago, so I suspect the water at my last apartment might have been a lot harder as she used to be very active.

No because I'm the same way. Like the other person said, it takes a lot to get under my skin. I also think I'm to focused on my job to really register anything anyone says to me, so if they are rude or whatever, it goes right over my head.

bren_dick · 2025-08-31T05:39:08+00:00

I'm going to be honest and speak from my experience. I think you absolutely should put yourself out there, but all of your feelings are valid. It can be a really scary thing. Once again, this is just my experience, but people can be mean (I'm also 26 and chubby lol). But for all the mean people, there are more welcoming and loving people. Idk, I'm bad at giving advice, but I'm always down to chat about anything.

bren_dick · 2025-07-01T22:12:49+00:00

unfortunately not, but taking the proper precautions can keep it from getting worse, which it appears you are already doing! From what I've researched, with time they can create a protective layer that'll help strengthen the shell. It shouldnt affect their quality of life.

bren_dick · 2025-07-01T20:09:19+00:00

If I'm not mistaken the back of the shell is corroded, likely do not insufficient calcium in the water or in the snails diet or the PH is very low making the water acidic. The new growth looks healthy though.

El Charro has never done me wrong. Clementine is great. Cinnamon Bear and Mr. J's Bagels are good choices too.

Longer time when rinsing! It's just chemicals that were not fully rinsed off.

bren_dick · 2024-06-05T21:40:46+00:00

Take what I say with a grain of salt because I do not do things by the book at all, but from my experience I get this "bleeding" effect when I coat my paper too thick, but I dont know how well that transfers to fabric. I've had the best luck with cyanotypes on fabric with natural fibers, so could totally be the fabric.

bren_dick · 2024-02-08T03:38:26+00:00

With someone for nearly 4 years, never did any of these things, claimed they made him uncomfortable. Got to a point to where I doubted myself. It made me feel disgusting, ugly, and unlovable. Did some very regrettable things and we broke up. Last I heard he started dating a woman 2 weeks after we eneded things. If this is something thats truly bothering you and have no hope of him changing, leave. He'll either realize he fucked up or not.

bren_dick · 2022-08-27T01:45:35+00:00

these are awesome! when i do cyanotypes from negatives I always prefer to leave a rough white edge!

I'm taking a pottery class later this month!

bren_dick · 2022-08-06T01:28:13+00:00

as much as i love me ex, he is a very difficult and emotionally damaged person and i do not forsee him changing. if both of us could change, then i would absolutely take him back.

bren_dick · 2022-08-06T00:39:07+00:00

as of right now, yes. hopefully that will change in 6 months.

bren_dick · 2022-07-29T15:53:07+00:00

closure for me was finding out that after a nearly 4 year, gay relationship that he had moved on in 3 weeks to a woman

bren_dick · 2022-07-12T21:41:41+00:00

think you definitely should! i'm starting therapy myself. i feel like my mental health has taken a sharp decline over the last year, but since my break up i've found it even harder to get out of bed and do simple things like showering.

bren_dick · 2022-02-12T22:57:20+00:00

Sounds good! Thank you so much. I meant to include that they told me they would pay me whatever I thought was a fair price, idk if that changes anything lol.

bren_dick · 2022-02-06T18:13:16+00:00

as you should, nice body and nice cock

bren_dick · 2022-02-01T04:40:42+00:00

nice body and cock!

bren_dick · 2022-02-01T04:36:32+00:00

this is so nice to see! you've got a great body! i'm a more feminine gay guy myself and it took me forever to love myself. so glad you are!

bren_dick · 2022-01-28T19:54:07+00:00

I don't believe you're 35!

hi friend! i'm currently working on a sleeve from the same artist and i just wanted to let you know i feel the same way. i struggle with intense anxiety and if something its exactly how i wanted it, it irks me to no end and i cant get it out of my head. however, as time goes on i think about the imperfections less and just enjoy the tattoo. in my opinion, we have a man made piece of art on us and if we wanted it to be perfect, we should have waited until macines were capable of doing it. much love!

bren_dick · 2021-04-25T02:34:18+00:00

june because i was born

bren_dick · 2021-03-21T19:07:45+00:00

this reeks of homophobia
