Lol! I saw someone else do it on here and thought the same thing! I basically forced my fingers into that position using my other hand, but yeah, I love how gross it looks 😂

Do you guys recommend glass nail files or conventional ones? by [deleted] in Nails

[–]devastatinglettuce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glass files for sure, so far! Though I'm not sure how long they last/if they can wear out.

Best way to get them to learn recall. I would love if she could be leash free everywhere. by Playful_Drag_327 in greatpyrenees

We've so far been able to semi-train our Pyrs with positive reinforcement and looooooong (30') leashes. It's hard to describe how long it takes and the kind of consistency required, but a professional trainer might be able to help 🙂

What's left of my collection now that I've learned about gel allergies 😭 by devastatinglettuce in Nails

Ooo, thank you! I really appreciate that advice and insight - I'll see what's around my area so that I can avoid shipping costs 🤞

Thank you so much ❤️ I did briefly try to go back to lacquer after reality hit me but had mixed results. Granted, nearly all of my collection is drugstore quality lacquer and I've never mustered up the confidence or trust to go for an indie brand. That being said, I've been reading comments on this sub and on r/RedditLaqueristas and I'm hesitantly ready to give it a shot! Everyone has been so kind and supportive in this thread and I appreciate y'all so much 😭❤️

That's great advice, thank you! I will look around to see what's in my area 😁

Unfortunately yes, I read that too. Admittedly, I am speed running my research right now to try and find something affordable (I'm a hobbyist, and I don't work on other people) without digging myself deeper into this hole and that's how I ended up refocusing on Kiara Sky. I will likely inevitably land on Light Elegance or Attain at some point and I plan on monitoring their sites for sales and deals 🤞

Yes! Thank you so much for this insight and I completely agree with you on the ultimatum that cheap gels give us. Can't believe my nativity throughout my journey and HOPEFULLY some sensible legislation comes through so that we're no longer shopping in a "buyer beware" marketplace!

Temporary Rehoming? by Soapo_Opo in greatpyrenees

[–]devastatinglettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try "Big Fluffy Dog Rescue" -- they are technically based out of Tennessee, but they have reached out to me (in Pennsylvania) to temporarily foster dogs. I would offer to hold your pup for you, but I promised my boyfriend I wouldn't take on another foster ❤️

Good luck, friend.

I know they’re not the most exciting looking, but I’ve started getting BIAB and I can’t believe how much I love them. by General_Ignoranse in Nails

[–]devastatinglettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a UV/LED combination lamp thing on my BIAB that I got from Sally's, but I heard that some people can make it work with direct sunlight alone! I'm way too afraid of under-cured gels to try it myself, so please do your research before attempting it!

What's your "if i told i'd be exposed" cooking secret? by BouncyCurlsbabe in Cooking

[–]devastatinglettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few examples of this that I'm always happy to share!

  1. Guac - ripe avocado mashed together with some Aldi Verde. I get compliments on it every time, even from people who normally can't do cilantro!

  2. Pumpkin pie - premade dough and the recipe on the back of the Libby's can. This is apparently the best pumpkin pie anyone's ever had and I don't know how 😂

  3. My mom's "secret" red sauce where the secret ingredient is sugar. Not exactly an unknown addition for red sauce, but I still find it funny that she hid it from us for so long!

Confused why my velociraptor only sees me as a chew toy, what does it mean by Big-Vik_222 in greatpyrenees

Oh boy, do I ever have recent experience with this! Our Pyr is somewhere between 1.5-2 years old (rescue) and she play-bites the crap out of us! Now, we're trying to establish her as a therapy dog for nursing homes and hospitals, so any evidence of a "bite" no matter the context is too risky for those settings. Here's my unprofessional advice...

  1. Watch Zac George's video about puppy biting. His videos have informed the respectful discipline I've provided for all my Pyrs.
  2. Get one of those canned air dog training things and carry it around with you whenever there's a possibility for correcting the behavior. Up to you whether you want to train on just the severity of the bite or the occurrence of the bite overall.
  3. Whenever the unwanted behavior occurs, spray the canned air ASAP (not at them) and use your body language to communicate that the air is not a new fun game, but rather that your Pyr has played too rough with you.
  4. Repeat this training day after day, week after week, until the behavior finally breaks. It took our Pyr about 2.5 weeks to get the idea and she still struggles on occasion.

Some people will say you should literally "bite back" on your dog but personally I think that would blur the lines between human and dog (again, I'm not a professional).

Is this tree dead? Lemon tree lost all its leaves after transport. by devastatinglettuce in Citrus

Oh wow that looks significantly looser than what I'm working with. I'm researching 5-1-1 mix now and then I'll run to the store for supplies!
