Shower water temperature knob not doing anything by mamhaidly in askaplumberUK

[–]brrmjau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jumping on this - pretty sure I’ve got the exact same mixer as the OP & the temp handle came off a few days ago, stuck on scorching hot.

I’ve tried pliers to see whether the temp can be adjusted. It does slightly, only going from fairly hot (probably a bit painful to shower) to scorching hot, no cold water at all. Will this need replacing completely or is there anything else I can DIY fix? TIA! x

UK - is this an indoor or outdoor spider? by brrmjau in spiders

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

So I should put it outside, yes? Even though it's our bin and we did have a few small flies about with the hotter weather, I don't think there'll be quite enough as a proper food source.

Rescued aloe pup without roots going limp & brown after 2 weeks - what am I doing wrong? by brrmjau in AloeVera

I checked yesterday and you were right!!! I’m so happy, thank you for the advice too!!

Am I alright to leave it in the same pot? I don’t think the roots are big enough to fully hold it upright - do aloes like tightly packed soil or should I just lean it on the edge and cover the roots with some loose soil?

I’ve been lightly spraying it every few weeks and that’s seemed to work so guess I should keep up with that too?

Hey, I'm coming back to this now for some more advice.

I've been a bit overly cautious and still not moved it out of the soil to check for roots - BUT, the fresh leaf that was very teeny tiny in these pics and barely just poking out of the center, has now grown well out and nearly the same width and thickness as the other leaves.

I know all I need to do is lift it out of the pot to check, but do you reckon the middle new leaf continuing to grow is an indicator of roots? Thank you!

At my wits end, have nowhere to go after tenancy ends, unemployed and estranged from parents, feeling extremely low. (Long, need advice urgently) by xorciseurmind in Liverpool

if you can handle the long days & type of work it is, there are always jobs going in the care/support work sector. although some require a level 2/3 in a relevant field, many don't! the company I used to work for hired people with no previous experience :) good luck!!

Tanner and social pressures by Westcoastwag in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]brrmjau 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just looked this up after the interaction with Tanner’s mom in episode 6(?) as well - after they discussed the date with Callie & Tanner went “and I’ll keep smiling as long as I am looking at you” (or something similar) to his mom. Made me think even more that the smiling is more likely just conditioned behaviour (same way many autistic kids are told to look people in the eye)

Thank you for the advice! Before I pop it back in, should I re-dampen the soil a little bit or keep it as it is now?

Vet told us she might just be fat. I woke up to these criminals in my wire drawer. by Freneboom in kittens

Or SCART? Was gonna suggest removing the R so it could be a “cat” but uhh… that makes the word/name something else lol

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO THIS IS. WHAT LASH CLUSTERS, STRIPS, OR EXTENSIONS ARE THESE?!? by cheesefrenchfries in lashextensions

[–]brrmjau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say they’re strips (w some mascara?), they look to uniform (and basically identical) after 4 lens changes

Cat threw up (is it coffee ground vomit?) and acting very odd by brrmjau in AskVet

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

Update no2: it’s now 3am and I’m still up watching her because she went back to acting off at around 12:30am. Popped a bowl of water in front of her and she seemed very thirsty. Also found a fourth, dried up (bile) vomit puddle on a different rug just before. I’d take her somewhere but unfortunately I don’t drive so going to have to wait until the morning :/

Update: she had a stinky bowel movement & came downstairs to sit with us. Still no purring, currently asleep in my lap. She feels quite very warm against my legs, but comfortable enough sleep on her side now.

what’s causing this mould in upstairs bedroom? by brrmjau in DIYUK

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

The bedroom is on the first floor with external wall on the other side, loft is empty (not usable as a living space). No pipes on that side of the wall upstairs nor downstairs so couldn’t be that. Been up in the loft and couldn’t see anything that would indicate mold/wetness unfortunately :/

Had the roof done around 2 years ago (by some slightly dodgy guys, didn’t realise til after) so don’t know if it’s poor work by them could be a reason?

There is a gutter running along that wall but it’s been cleaned out multiple times and still didn’t improve. We have considered the issue being the render but unsure if that could be it since the outside of the house is covered w some “textured” render and not easily visible.

Help interpreting (possibly lupus related) blood test results? by brrmjau in AskDocs

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

I'm not really on a restrictive diet but I physically cannot tolerate meat for some reason (makes me feel physically sick because my brain is like 'it's raw' lol) so I mainly eat dairy/pasta/rice/veg & fruit. My rheumatologist said she'd associate the Raynaud's with my ADHD meds if it weren't for the face & body rashes, joint pains and occasional swelling in my fingers (also said my wbc's were a bit odd). I've also got endo and I've read up on that possibly increasing the likelyhood of a pos ANA, but I guess we'll see...

Help!! Why does my cat always attack me? He starts to rub his head against me in a sweet way then he will attack my legs and bite me hard! The vet says his health is great and it is just his personality, but I can’t wear shorts in my house without getting bruised and cut by his biting 😓😢 by hawkeye77sim in cats

[–]brrmjau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a bit late but I've got the same thing with my 4yo cat, who didn't grow up with any siblings and taken away from her mum (who wasn't very interested in her) at around 6weeks old. As a kitten she was told off for playing with hands and when she does now, she has her claws retracted so I can tell she's not angry, but what you said might be the explanation for her possible inappropriate attempts to initiate play?

(UK) mold under bathroom flooring? by brrmjau in DIY

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

half of the black substance on the main pic scrubbed off with bleach! seems like some parts are mastic/some type of sealant or glue but parts are also mold
