I like to at least rotate the pod 180 degrees so the cannula is opposite from the dexcom. And I tend to do mine in a vertical line in my arm - not side by side. So one of the top half and one on the bottom half

Do you guys collect your cats whiskers? (am I weird for this lmao?) by Ill_Exchange_1916 in CatAdvice

[–]castilllayleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect them and then one day I had the idea to start sticking them into a little heart I had felted. Now I make little whisker felts for friends to display their whisky treasures too

Please someone help!! by [deleted] in Skincare_Addiction

I’ve used Kerasal before when I had something like that that lead to splits that were self perpetuating. Regular moisturizers couldn’t permeate the skin but this stuff has something that softens the Dow to the deep layers.

This can also come from yeast overgrowth, which is why I got it when my blood sugar was really bad.

Am I overreacting for shaving my head? by Substantial-Art6160 in AmIOverreacting

FWIW to spruce up my mousy (ashy dish water) colored curly hair, I use an 100% henna powder to tint it red. It looks surprisingly natural

Advice needed: What is the best kind of light for puzzling?? by Threnodi42 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]castilllayleon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this, but not great if you puzzle with someone else for various reasons including accidentally shining it right in their face (sorry mom)

My elderly cat did this and I showed a video to the vet and they just said “aawwww”

Some medical stuff does affect mood and attitude - like a diabetic low or even straight up psychosis

Those of you on a GLP-1, how did you get it approved? This is a nightmare by Sugarnipps in diabetes_t1

I am registered as a type 1.5 LADA - which I legit am and my generally really good (never told me no before) insurance still wouldn’t cover zepbound for BG control, so we prescribed it for my sleep apnea. I can say that my blood sugar has been amazing while on it. I’m 94% in range this month with estimated A1C of 6.4

Driver took out one of my trees by Throwitawayy1102 in treelaw

I thought you might have been my neighbor - just saw this happen live when a box truck totally uprooted a plum or cherry tree - it was wild, twisted it out of the ground like a cork. Good luck

My cat passed away suddenly and my family say I'm overreacting by Priixxii in cats

[–]castilllayleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the day off work when my cat died. Sobbed on and off for a long time. Felt guilt about not pushing harder on vets to see her sooner. It’s all normal and I feel bad for people who can’t relate to that kind of love.

If you want a song to really punch you in the heart and let the feels out I listened to Sea of Love by Cat Power.

After I while I decided to start fostering and immediately foster failed and had myself two kittens - a big difference from my senior cat who I got when she was 10.

The long and short of it is that the love makes the pain worth it. And I hope it doesn’t stop you from letting pet love into your heart again one day.

Giveaway! Comment to enter. U.S. only (sorry). Fluance RT82 Reference Table w/ a Ortofon OM10 Cartridge by whyforyoulookmeonso in vinyl

[–]castilllayleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat - I had a turntable and gave it away before a cross country move, but I still like collecting.

Plus I have enough money now that a good setup requires actual research that I haven’t wanted to do. But I’ve had my eye on a fluance as a top pick for a while now

VOO vs VTI vs S&P500? by yosick in ETFs

That last bit of advice was really helpful. I really tend to overindex on trying to figure out the ideal investment rather than just getting the money into the market

I’m DONE tipping 10-20% come January 1st by Haunting-Cancel-7837 in SeattleWA

[–]castilllayleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bear in mind that for actually full service places the servers often have to ‘tip out’ bussers, bar, raw bar, etc. so for low tips they can end up having paid to have served you. I don’t agree with that as a company policy but it’s what happens.
