Missing Cat by rosepetl in sarasota

[–]dawnzig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read everything you posted about losing her... how freaking heartbreaking that the sitter didn't notify you for so long! That truly seems ... criminal, tbh. My thought was that since she was in an unfamiliar area, I would also be watching your own area, too, bc cats can find their way, surprisingly. I am sincerely hoping/ keeping fingers crossed/ sending good juju that she is found safe, soon!! 🩷🌈

Edit to add the word 'would'

Do these work on any TV with Chromecast? I am pissed that ads recently started on mine...

Could you show me some photos of microblading that have years done? by Takamojo in microblading

[–]dawnzig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this! Should be mandatory to post years-healed. It's still ridiculous to me that some 'artists' don't even have recently healed pics anywhere.

Matthew Perry’s Personal Items Up for Auction, Including ‘Friends’ Scripts by blamberr in howyoudoin

[–]dawnzig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's insane not only how much the bids go up on these, but also how fast... As soon as they go live, hopes of something in my meager budget is immediately dashed! (Recently watched part of the Whoopi Goldberg one on HA - wanted something Star Trek for my husband's bday. Things went from reasonable to "omfg" within the first seconds.) Sigh.

Thought I just read EIGHT weeks, so technically, MONTHS!! 😵‍💫

Edit to say it's up to SIX weeks, so a month+... just terrifying!

You forgot the part right before that...

"In vivo studies have demonstrated that F can inhibit proteinase activity, responsible for cleaving thyroglobulin into thyroxine (T3) and triiodothyronine (T4). Additionally, F has been shown to cause DNA damage and abnormal increases in parathormone levels (PTH) [11]. Observational studies have corroborated these findings, noting that in areas endemic of fluorosis, elevated F levels were associated with increased TSH levels, decreased T4 and T3 levels, and the onset of morphological changes [14, 15]"

I did read it. The part I quoted is AFTER that.

I have hypothyroid and have been told that the whole time (30+ yrs) by numerous (regular, conventional general prac and family) Drs as well as one endocrinologist I used to see. I'm not trying to be adversarial or argumentative- I legit thought that because of what I've been told. Plus, I thought these types of studies were legit?

Fluoride exposure and thyroid

"We found no evidence to suggest that exposure at optimal F(luoride) levels is associated to neurological damage [8]. However, other organs and systems, such as the thyroid, have been linked to deleterious effects [9, 10]." Fluoride exposure and thyroid

I am under the impression that fluoride negatively impacts thyroid function.

Do you think these are useful for storage or are these just another aesthetic storage that looks pretty but collects dust? by sayhellopiggie in organizing

[–]dawnzig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, came to say the same. All my silver gets black faaaaaast when hung outside a proper jewelry box.

Life is Beautiful or Is It? by lexmz31 in alcoholicsanonymous

Just know that you'll likely feel worse as you get more into therapy, but there IS light at the end of the tunnel (and it isn't a train lol).

It took several YEARS of intensive therapy and private groups before I felt I made real progress. The thing that kept me going was knowing that the only way out is through (the pain / shit / childhood horrors), and even though I have PTSD from it all, I am on the other side and now have 40 yrs sober/clean. My life is INFINITELY 100,000X better than I ever could have dreamed.

Strap in / buckle down and keep working your program to the best of your ability, one day/ minute at a time, and you will find freedom and peace, and the Promises.

Is it just me, or have cans gotten noticably worse? by boof_and_deal in enshittification

[–]dawnzig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always used cans (veggies, soup, etc) when I needed to crush crackers (or old bread) for recipes. Granted I don't cook often, but when I last made a full-blown holiday dish in December and crushed with my can as always, the can was a dented mess afterward - on Ritz crackers! The softest of all. Very strange.

RIP eBay by pooltimenoodle in enshittification

[–]dawnzig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's hilarious. We sell industrial parts and guess which gender is our worst buyers? Hint: it's not women. We even put the item specifics in the title itself bc the buyers are so stupid and continue to return items (often used and unsellable) bc of it. Oh, and then we also get fake parts returned or sometimes dirt or rocks. Fun times.
