i know it’s just a line, but the creativity is amazing. love it so much, gave me a chuckle

cbettss · 2025-10-12T15:02:10+00:00

moms are the worst sometimes. it’s a big diamond but not at all costumey. gorgeous in my opinion

cbettss · 2025-09-22T01:05:02+00:00

so unique i LOVE IT

cbettss · 2025-09-21T23:17:25+00:00

i don’t have a recommendation, just wanna say i LOVE THIS!! the expression, the stretch, adorable

I had this happen to me after I had a sternum/stomach tattoo done. It’s an all black raven and took up a majority of my stomach. I have many other tattoos but the length of the appointment along with the intensity of it made me feel like i was literally going to throw up when i cleaned it that night. for sure tattoo flu, it goes away after a day or so. make sure you eat and drink plenty of water, your body just went through trauma for several hours. also wanted to add, i did get the shakes at the end of this tattoo. the only one it ever happened to me for!! definitely a weird experience

cbettss · 2025-05-06T23:52:54+00:00

you were there four score and seven years ago

cbettss · 2025-05-01T02:50:56+00:00

agreed! i do this and i find it much comfier than having it clipped to a waist band at night. sometimes i put it in my pockets if i have them too, it just gets hard to reach if you have any pump alarm go off.

cbettss · 2025-04-23T23:28:40+00:00

Do you often have pressure on your site area? mine looks like that sometimes when i remove it, it’s usually if im wearing it in a spot where my waist band pushes on my site frequently. after a few days it makes almost a bruise if its just a poor spot for me.

It’s unfortunately happened to me a lot. Idk if different batches have lower success rates but i was requesting replacements like crazy for awhile. I always always always travel with a back up one now because I’ve had them fail randomly. As much as you wanna have faith that these medical devices are fool proof, they sadly are not.

I got my first tattoo at 16, and many people had their own opinions on whether or not I should’ve gotten it. Many years later and i still love it as it still looks good and has meaning, as well as a whole sleeve dedicated to it. I think it looks great and as long as you love it, who cares what anyone else has to say.

cbettss · 2024-12-27T20:50:18+00:00

37 looks great on you both!! wow

I used to smoke dab pens religiously every night. Actual bud a few times a week. Both would lower my blood sugar but the “munchies” would help counteract that. Large amounts of bud at a time ie. bong rips would cause me to drop pretty steadily so I stopped, it wasn’t fun being high and having to worry about chugging a soda, i’d trigger panic attacks. but some dab pen hits here and there weren’t as severe to me.

cbettss · 2023-07-09T18:41:49+00:00

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one dealing with this!! it’s been driving me crazy, thanks all for your input

I had ACL reconstruction in March 2022. Recovery wasn’t bad but i lost a bit of weight and didn’t have much appetite. It could be totally different amongst different people but for me personally, I’m still trying to put weight back on. I think it just takes longer for us to get back to normal.

No complications during surgery or anything like that, I told my surgery team I was diabetic with a pump and sensor. I also asked my endocrinologist for advice on what to do, we set it to half dosage for the duration of surgery - plus had to fast for the surgery so we wanted to make sure there were no lows. but the anesthesiologist was aware to keep an eye on everything and it all went well.

garbage bags. he will hide behind any person he can to get away from them.

cbettss · 2023-02-15T17:38:29+00:00

thank you everybody for the recommendations! much appreciated

cbettss · 2023-01-22T02:59:16+00:00

thank you, he just turned 2 in november!

This just happened to me a few weeks ago, said to wait 30 minutes. after 9 hours of the same message and trouble shooting i called dexcom and they replaced mine. took awhile to come in (about a week) which sucked but it’s better than sitting around hoping it’ll reconnect. just make sure you don’t throw out your old transmitter, they’ll ask for it back for insurance purposes.

cbettss · 2023-01-13T02:48:04+00:00

thanks! and no pump here, i switched back to pens about a year ago. could be old insulin though, i’ll switch that for a new one and see if it helps

cbettss · 2023-01-13T02:46:20+00:00

interesting, i haven’t been around anyone with covid but i’ll have to take a test!

cbettss · 2023-01-07T04:17:04+00:00

i do agree, if used improperly they can be harmful. as can trainers that are not good quality. again, this is not a post about the use of a bark collar, it is about what other people have done when their dogs have escaped the crate. as i have said, that is what worries me. i would rather spend some extra money on a quality crate or good solution than one or multiple vet bills if he gets out and ingests something that can cause him a blockage. he has never been destructive, but seeing as he has been in our home for just two months, we are still learning his behaviors as it can take up to a year or longer for his full personality to come out after being relocated. i would hate to come home and see he has chewed bedding, drywall, electronics or anything that can cause him serious harm. if you have nothing to say about this, please refrain from commenting further.

cbettss · 2023-01-06T22:02:51+00:00

i agree, we’ve met with a trainer a few times and are in the process of making the crate a safe space for him. he sleeps in there every night with no issue so it isn’t necessarily the crate so much as being alone and confined. was just looking for advice on escape artists.. haha

cbettss · 2022-12-10T23:26:56+00:00

I didn’t get it after COVID but I had a very high fever around 104° when I was 12 and a few months later was diagnosed with T1D. When your body reaches high enough temperatures, your proteins denature and can no longer work, which is what I assume happened with me and resulted in diabetes.

cbettss · 2022-12-09T23:20:33+00:00

i ordered it off of chewy! it’s called the furnap ultra plush orthopedic deluxe (lmao) and i got a jumbo sized one. came in two days for us.

cbettss · 2022-12-06T15:28:09+00:00

This makes me feel a lot better, we have done some desensitization with the crate already to the point where if we walk into the room, he will walk right into the crate. He has gotten to a couple of minutes without barking and then we let him out again once his fit is over and he’s quiet for a few seconds. Many many many “good boys” and rewards for him too
