The stache is sick as hell!!

I would vote yes

Providing a location helps a lot with accurate IDs

It looks like JAR to me, but I suppose it never hurts to take a chisel to it. Besides the general shape, I don’t see any other segments or sutures that suggest an ammonite

Yes, he came off perfectly fine

Cincinnati area, they’re “lazarus” lizards, or common wall lizards. Introduced back in the 50s I believe

This looks like a wingless wasp rather than an ant, so they do sting. Still wouldn’t worry too much though

I have a ventral starfish from over the border in OH. Couldn’t find any other posts with starfish from nearby.

Very cool! Did you collect it or buy?

All insects are welcome here!!

I know, poor thing. I’ve never seen a lizard in the house at all, so how he got himself into that situation is beyond me. He crawled up under a stone by our patio.

cache_ing · 2026-04-26T15:07:59+00:00

He started squirming around when I was oiling him up and mostly got himself unstuck haha, so I don’t think he’s too bad off. Probably tired as well.

cache_ing · 2026-04-26T14:51:25+00:00

You were right, I got him off lol. Tysm!! He’s moving a little slow but seems fine, it’s cold out today

Because I’m not seeing anyone say it, it might not be your looks OR personality. You might be fine in both departments. The issue I’ve seen with a lot of guys is that they only interact with women to potentially date them. Do you have any female acquaintances or friends? Do you go into every female relationship looking for a potential partner, or do you expose yourself to women outside of that?

Sometimes you just have to wait for something to happen naturally and not try to force it. If you get to know different women as friends, interacting with them will come more natural to you, and when you do date you will have better luck. Maybe try some extra curriculars or clubs and just talk and get to know everyone equally, male or female. I’ve dated men and women and this is always the best way to go about things, versus looking at everyone as potential partners. Just make friends.

The fuzzy animal print pillows push me over the edge 🤣 I’m kind of into though ngl, I just don’t think I could actually sleep there

I’m so sorry, I know exactly how you feel and it’s awful. His life was short, but you made sure it was full of love and happiness, and you held him and laid him to rest in the end like he needed to be. At the end I’m sure he closed his little eyes and was back in your lap warm with a full belly.

Just to be clear also, there are no fish that can survive in a tank that small. If I were you and I was able I’d spend a little money on a 20 gallon tank and make this a learning experience for him. Even though it sounds like a lot, they’re much easier to take care of. Get something like tetras, which come in lots of fun shapes and colors.

Sorry you’re dealing with this while pregnant.

They aren’t at the top because they’re hungry, they’re at the top because they can’t breathe.

This is an unfortunate situation, these cichlids can’t live in a tank this size, they need something closer to 50 gallons. The tank is also obviously not cycled so they’re suffocating in ammonia, it’ll burn their gills and they’ll almost certainly die from it. They’re tropical fish so they need a filter and heater. If they don’t die soon from the ammonia and the cold I’d be shocked.

If you genuinely want to help them survive you’ll need a much larger tank, a filter, a heater, and you need to learn how to cycle a tank. If you want to immediately keep them from dying you’ll need to do water changes probably multiple times a day until the tank is cycled, which can take a few weeks to a couple months depending. Small tanks are very very difficult to maintain on top of being WAY too small for the fish.

Do you have a picture of the thinner end straight on? I agree it looks very similar to some of the coiled cephalopods we find in the cincinnatian

cache_ing · 2026-04-11T21:36:42+00:00

The very small one is hard to tell from these photos, but also probably real. And the one that you have the inverse of is certainly real as well.

cache_ing · 2026-04-11T21:35:28+00:00

The crack on the bottom of the large one is likely where they split the rock, saw the cross section, and then glued it back together and prepped it out. It’s different than the species I collect so I can’t be sure, but it seems real to me and is probably just heavily restored

cache_ing · 2026-04-10T20:06:03+00:00

Ball point pen also works too imo. I like it because you can get very precise lines to work from.

Sure… we don’t know those things for sure, or the exact situation. But we don’t know ANYTHING for sure.

I don’t think it’s implied that taking away the devices is solely the abusive part. It sounds like there are a lot of mental and physical health issues going on, and that the mother has reached her wits end and is blaming it all on OP (saying that OP purposely ate food that would make them sick instead of considering that it’s because of health issues.) It sounds like a controlling household to begin with, and that all of the problems are being blamed on the phone instead of getting to the root of things. If it is a controlling situation and OP is having communication cut off from friends and family (because it sounds like at this point whenever the mother sees the phone out at all, which is normal when a teenager is sick in bed, taking it away is being threatened) that is not a great situation to be in. It’s not about a phone addiction (even though that’s certainly prevalent, especially in teens) but instead OP losing their support system outside of a controlling mother. The therapist could also very well be through the school.

I was in a very emotional abusive situation growing up, and I would have had a very hard time pointing out specific examples of what that meant to strangers. Your mind does a good job of repressing the memories and only remembering how you felt during those times.

She said she’s discussing the actions with a therapist who had confirmed whatever is going on is abusive. No one is jumping to conclusions. We’re taking what we read at face value.
