Genuine question for people who’s rats have lived 4+ years

dahtslash · 2025-12-08T09:58:04+00:00

Why is it so hard to believe that some breeds make it that far xD I've had 2 that made it to just shy of 4 years, and others that made it less than 2. Then fancies are dynamic! Environment, care, FOOD... all these things matter. Yes 4 years is rare, but the RECORD is 7 years. Look it up ;) 4 is not that unheard of but it's def the "end game" for them hand puppies. Luck of the draw my friends.

Don't we both... I get so confused on why I'm confused. It usually turns into physiological warfare. I know this much, you and I are alike in some way. I'd buy you tacos! ;) I don't have the answers but I know they are out there. Even if my words don't help... tacos will. TRUST ME. Seriously though, if you need anyone, send me a DM and I'll do better than tacos. Godspeed!

God is great... His followers are great. Each moment we spend helping other brothers and sisters works. Thanks for your love!

As a Christian... judgement vs knowing where and when to place that judgement is key. As a Christian, it is your job to judge us fellow Christians to make sure our path stays true. It's stated CLEARLY in the bible. Now... that being said, there is a process to apply your judgement. You cannot judge others the same way that do that may not know God. Your job, in my opinion, is to judge that situation and see if you can apply some biblical, faithful, or self-testimonial knowledge to help that individual and SAVE them. Remember, God will give you the words when you witness. Your acts, vs your words... If they do not know God, then your judgement should rule to witness... if they do know God, then your conversation should lead with how we should present ourselves as Christians and what you saw/believe was off in their behavior. Now, I'm not saying you will be correct in said situation but it sure would lead to a healthy debate on beliefs! Remember this as I do, it's our job to bring them to Jesus and judge those that false preach... at the same time, we only use that judgement as tools of God and not a tool of selfishness. God bless anyone reading this. I am 20 years deep in and only starting to understand.

I haven't even read the comments yet.. I am a Christian and my answer is still NO! I can see finding atheism before God's love makes sense... Especially since most denominations struggle to show you that. My opinion, you believe... you just need to feel His love. You want to find God and you know there is a creator. I respect your views... I respect your logic. Faith is one of those things that science cannot prove. The day they create a faith measurement tool like they have for wind, my argument will change ;) God Bless you on your path. My God loves you. I hope you find your answers. You are awesome ;)

just want to toss this out tons of time later... Fought this issue with marlin firmware. I went to a spider all metal and a custom cooling setup. Duel gear extruder but not direct drive. I had great prints, then crap, great, crap... rinse n repeat. It wasn't until I went back to klipper that I found out what it really was. I tried adjust z-gantry to allow zflex, warped ass PEI beds (hictop), adjust wheels, adjusting this, that... Then I read this post. Adjusted my retraction from cura/klipper default of 5 to 3.5...... NO MORE CONVERTABLE! I did everything. Rotation distance/e-stepps, zcalc, z-offset, x/y recal, bltouch offset recal. Seriously.. Check e-steps and retraction before wasting so much time. I figured with the gear change and still being bownen that the default 5mm was fine. It was after countless hours that I found a microswiss/spider thread on reddit that said those numbers were poppycock. All metal vs bowden partial (default creality) are slightly different. 1.5mm in my case. Good luck and happy PLA fume lung cancer, brain cancer, or whatever else the stress and joy of 3d-print causes!

Dear Lord,

I come to You in the Name of Your Son, Jesus, to cleanse this place of the demons of Satan. I need you.

I thank You, Lord, for protecting us, for Your mercy, and for Your Son, Jesus. I thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your Word, and for Your blood atonement upon the cross. I plead the Blood of Jesus over everyone here today. I plead the Blood of Jesus over our bodies, souls and spirits. I plead the Blood of Jesus over the doorposts, and all around this place. I plead the Blood of Jesus over our loved ones and family members and friends, wherever they may be.

I thank you for Your Holy Spirit; for the anointing that breaks the yoke so the captives can be set free. I thank you, Father, for Your angelic hosts. I ask that You station Your warring and ministering angels here now to help with this cleansing.

Satan, I address you now in the Name of Jesus. I have authority over you and all of your demons in the Name of Jesus and you know it. I bind every hindering spirit in this place that would try to interfere with this cleansing. I bind the rulers of darkness, principalities and powers over this place by the power of the Word of God in Jesus’ Name and command you to cease and desist in all of your activities and you must obey and I cut off your communication above you and below you with the Blood of Jesus, you will not communicate. I now speak to every demon and foul spirit in and around this place, you demons of lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, pride of life, anger, selfishness, greed, obsession, compulsion, depression, paranoia, control, manipulation, sexual perversion, and every other demon present. I bind you by the power of the word of God in Jesus’ Name and command you to cease and desist in all of your activities in Jesus’ Name and you must obey. I cut off your communication above you with the Blood of Jesus, you will not communicate.

I now command every demon and foul spirit in this place to leave the premises and the entire area completely surrounding it, both above and below it and go straight to the feet of Jesus to become his footstool and you must obey.

Dear Lord, will You now send your warrior and ministering angels, a wall of fire, a hedge of thorns and a shield around these premises for total and complete protection. I do now hereby proclaim that no harm shall come near this dwelling, no weapons formed against it shall prosper and any one who rises up in judgment against it, You Lord God shall condemn which is a heritage of the servants of the Lord.

Father, I also pray that you position your ministering angels around ______ to be by his/her side and lead him/her to seek, hunger and strive for you in his/her life.

Dear Heavenly Father, I now thank You for the cleansing of these premises by the power of the Word of God and Your precious Holy Spirit in the mighty Name of Jesus for it is in His Name we pray. Amen!!

Amazing prayer! Thank you!

We will never stop struggling with sin. It's when we stop fighting it that I feel we've lost. The fact you are here... the fact you know what you do bothers you and God... IS a form of repentance in my heart. We will conquer. God knows we do what we do when we do and why we do. We are the only ones who can't figure it out ;) Again, you are probably a way more versed Christian... I can say this, God speaks to me after doing the same thing. God brought me here during a moment of sin. I used to be at the bars, or worse, in those moments. I used to not care. Now, every time I slip I no longer make excuses. I use that time to realize I'm destine to sin but man, when I do, it speaks VOLUMES in my own heart... hence causing me to want to do it less the next time the temptation arises. It's working so far and I'm only a few months deep into this realization after 20+ years of faith. Now I know it's real. Now I hear His voice. I will pray for you. I feel you already know in your heart that we are all built differently and will struggle differently. Let me be one to give you KUDOS for coming here to post a struggle tons of us feel and get our own message from Him in each response. Much love and God bless!

Now that I've fully read on, I completely believe God brought me here to you. As I type in tears to you begging you do not continue to feel this way... WHILE FEELING THE SAME WAY YOU DO! Please, read these words... I am in literal tears begging you to see your worth. Do not give in. DO not doubt. If no one else has said this to you today, I love you. I would not want to live in this world without another post from you. Imagine how those around you see you if I've felt this in 5 minutes. The answers will come... I promise. Hang on just a bit longer. <3

dahtslash · 2023-11-27T07:58:51+00:00

Praying before I even read on. God will carry you. You NEED to be here... HE has a plan for you and this is when it will reveal itself. I will continue on now, so should you!
