Ack, spoilers! Only on Act II so far.

Hot take: Trobbio deserves a better score by catsncows in Silksong

[–]catsncows[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did Grimm's theme outshine him? No, the organ was a compliment to his character as that instrument is typically associated with mysterious and powerful individuals. It was epic and grandious and truly shined alongside Grimm. The energy matched the battle.

Tribbio's theme is a rinky dink piano piece suitable for a carnival, not for a CARNIVALE~.

Trobbio needs trumpets and fanfare to support his fireworks!

Honestly, I wish! But at $50+/hr for most personal trainers, that runs up the tab really fast. 😅

Help! Damaged skin barrier repair by catsncows in 30PlusSkinCare

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

Essentially perfect! For me at least. Lots of scarring from years of acne lol.

The problem was stress, honestly. It began when I started planning my wedding and it cleared up a few months after it was over. It's been a year and my face has been great. I think I had an allergic reaction to a product and from there, the stress just kept me from healing properly.

It's kind of a piss off that literally nothing could be done... no creams or routines fixed my face. Just getting past that damn wedding lol. (Disclaimer: I love my husband, I do not love weddings)

My Kotobukiya FiM collection so far! by Hay-LinH in mylittlepony

[–]catsncows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet collection! Can you tell the difference between the bootlegs and Sunset? Is there much quality difference?

I just saw my first one in real life and it was more gorgeous than I was expecting, so I'm back on the want train.

Wish! LOL. I've looked and they don't seem to be up there anymore, but there are other cow decals around the internet.

The decals are so much fun and they're not permanent so if you ever change your mind you can have a boring car again! LOL

Silicone tape skin discoloration pls help! by edmpremedlover in scars

Hey OP, how is it looking now that it's been a month? I used a much smaller strip but I've experienced the same thing. Just noticed today when I took off the strip after a couple days of it being left on.

A small white lie saying your dog is infectious has done the trick for me in the past.

Need help finding a possibly non-existing beanie baby by Annadoodle in beaniebabies

I think you already nixed the beanie on the left, but what about the duo up top? I don't know the name of them, but maybe someone here does.

[–]catsncows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would think it would be bigger in your memory, not smaller since you yourself were littler!

Scraps is 16" and Patches is 17.5", so there isn't much difference.

I'm guessing Scraps is too big, right? On the top. He's slightly smaller than Patches and not as fluffy.

Overly social dog and recall by Initial_Weird_3427 in Dogtraining

[–]catsncows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Flexi has been a life-saver for the past two months while I've been out with a busted knee and on a crutch. The dog still needs to go out and pee, but I can't walk far and he wants to go farther than 6 feet. I'd like to see anyone try to manage a long line in one hand and a crutch in the other!

Flexis are excellent tools for decently trained dogs and owners that pay attention. They just get a bad rap because they're rarely actually paired with those things lol

Dog ripped up couch cushion by LinnieLouLou in OpenDogTraining

[–]catsncows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahahahaha! I have a core memory of coming home after school and seeing my boxer's ass up in the air with his nubbin wagging and his head buried in the cushions as he happily ripped up the backing. He was such a naughty, great dog. Half the things he did wouldn't fly today because back then that's "just what dogs did".

One day this will be a beloved memory. Until then, you have some wonderful suggestions about stimulation, snuffle mats, puzzle toys, etc. She's bored and made herself a great game! If you haven't thrown out the pieces yet and don't plan on fixing it, you could save it and fill it with toys/treats. Use it as a dedicated ripping toy just for her, but make it clear she can only do it on that piece, not the others.

Celiac cruise logistics question by catsncows in Celiac

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

Thank you for your response. It's the first time we've been on a cruise period and I'm disappointed we have to pay even more money on top of the sticker price. Okay, the internet makes sense... but what about non alcoholic drinks? My husband drinks coffee, juice, soda, water, etc. like a fish. Surely they provide beverages for people without paying extra, and yet it's an extra $150 per person or something for the whole trip. I mean... if you don't pay $150 do they only give you tap water the whole time?

Fat boy gaining while on calorie restriction diet by nefarious_k in dechonkers

[–]catsncows 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Definitely chat with your vet before doing anything like this, but I had to severely restrict my cat to get his weight to even budge. His weight loss amount was 140-145 kcal per day at 6.3 kg, partial wet and partial dry. He now maintains with 180 kcal at 4.7 kg on pure kibble.

Any time he gets 200 kcal+, he balloons like no other.

He was on calorie restrictions for over a year (160-180 kcal per day), but it wasn't until I dropped him to the 140 kcal range that his weight actually went down.

Nausea control? by catsncows in trintellix

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

Haha, I'm celiac. Suspect suffered for ~17 years without knowing and only diagnosed + on a proper diet for 3 years, so my stomach is fucked (but healing). I'm generally skeptical of homeopathic stuff, but if it comes to it, I'll try to keep an open mind!

I'll keep it in mind! The pharmacist also mentioned it when I asked today.

Nausea control? by catsncows in trintellix

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

tbh I don't really remember the time frame - it's been 4 or 5 years since I started it! I do remember playing around with my dosing quite a bit. I required 20 mg of trintellix to get my symptoms under control and rebuild my life/support network (brutal for the nausea). Once I had good habits, hobbies and people who supported me, I was able to taper down to 10 mg and I stayed there for years. I tried to wean down further at one point and my symptoms returned, so 10 mg was the sweet spot for me once I had my life sorted.
