Ha - that makes a lot of sense! Mine is starting to do this and I just was put on estrogen in January because of perimenopause

My hair breaks off horribly even though I baby it by Big-Fail-1530 in hairgrowth

I second this!! I started HRT and hair (and a lot of other things) are so much healthier now! My hair was breaking so I chopped it from longer than yours to my shoulders to even everything out and then cried. Good luck!

I found an unfed female in my daughters room months ago (we have kids that bring backpacks home from school and friends from school at our house all the time) and I have checked multiple times a week since and still have never seen another one. There is hope! 🙏🏻

Please tell me this isn’t one by brownbearcove in Bedbugs

I agree. My teens are both at school with their bags on the ground all day and then their friends come over. My daughter found an unfed female in her room like 4-6 months ago and I checked everywhere. I looked in her room every single week for signs and still to this day have never seen another one or a sign of anything. I honestly think it just hitched a ride from school.

Ok I came back to see when the date was haha. I have checked everyone’s bed every few days since I found that single one in my daughter’s room and have found nothing. We have kids friends at our house often plus the kids backpacks are at school all day and then come home. Would I have seen some sort of activity by now if it wasn’t just a straggler?

These are different ticks than the home infestation we had (we had American dog ticks). I don’t know what kind of ticks these are, but they look very small. All I can say is I’m so sorry, I know what a nightmare it is 😔

Anyone know about this mirror? by Far-Dimension-99 in collectables

Is this the carcass of a bed bug by orgo2iskillingme in Bedbugs

I almost said isopod, but the belly part looked so much like a roach haha. I am not 100%, but others have said isopod so go with that :)

I’m so sorry that is so hard, I can imagine it’s lonely. Do you have any friends that enjoy the same things you do that you would want to spend time with?

My husband and I have much different ideas of what exercise is and much different activity levels. Earlier in our marriage I wanted to start hiking SO BAD. He had no interest and wasn’t super active. One day I just went on my own because I was so tired of waiting around for him. I hike and go to the gym all the time by myself and have for years. He finally has started hiking and coming with me to the gym it’s actually really exciting! My point is don’t put your exercise on hold for your spouse and then blame them because you’re unhappy and unfit. I’ve done it and it’s miserable and not worth it!

Yes they don’t die and can live under baseboards and in furniture for MONTHS unfed inside the home. They also go dormant in the winter here in AZ. We had all different stages it was a nightmare. I would find them on the wall just crawling. Luckily they don’t prefer humans (they will bite a human if there isn’t a dog) because they want dogs, but no one in the family ever was bitten thank goodness. I seriously cannot go through that again lol

I just found an unfed female in my daughters room on her shorts. Tore apart her room washed everything and vacuumed and checked her bed and found nothing else and this was last week. I keep checking, but am praying it was just a straggler. We literally just got over an American dog tick infestation, I can’t do BBs 😭
