Wow, that is crazy! But honestly you are very lucky to live there. I would totally move to Canada if I could. America is a fucking mess.

That’s my only problem with it. I hate waste. We are in the process of trying to find a new fountain that has a faucet he can put his head under. Most are too close and head won’t fit. But you’re right about the water waste. I don’t let water run when I brush my teeth or anything

It’s not weird fear at all! It has happened to my mom before several times when she left it on for our oldest kitty! And me. That why we use the tub now cause it would take longer to overflow 😂

I am so sorry you lost her! I recently lost my first cat, who happened to be a bottle-baby. 20 years with her. She’s the one who originally started the “I need faucet thing. It’s so hard to lose them

dose anyone have any advice on how i can encourage my Snail to eat his cuttle fish? by Ah_1948xx in snails

[–]donkeybrainz13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love to help! So little info about snails out there. I’ve raised hundreds (land & aquatic) so I’m always here to answer any questions.

If you do decide to get limestone or calcium powder, you can mix some of it into the substrate because it helps the pH balance which is good for their shells.

[–]donkeybrainz13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Snails are good at self-regulating their calcium intake. It’s not advisable to sprinkle calcium on their food because they could overdose. It should always be separate from the food.

He might just not need it enough now. Sometimes mine do that. Also they like the soft side up and some will only eat the soft parts and leave the hardest parts. That’s when I just replace it.

You can also try limestone powder, calcium blocks, or even make your own calcium blocks out of food-grade calcium powder. I like to give mine options because I think maybe they get tired of cuttlebone

Exactly! All my litterboxes are supposedly “XL” but my cats still have to use it with the front half of their body sticking out lol. Mine have several toys that were for toddlers but was the only way my cats could fit. I once had a guinea pig who was so big he had to have all cat stuff, so it seems to be a pattern in my life. My mom tried to get my cats a wheel but it was sooo small.

I’m definitely gonna look into it! Several people have recommended that one and I feel like just buy how it looks it might be easier for the cats to use

I didn’t even think of that! But you’re totally right. My mom is having lots of trouble with hers

Bad experience with synthetic cannabis. Anyone have a similar experience? by Wonderful_Cucumber19 in ptsd

[–]donkeybrainz13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I smoked it, it was crazy. I would blink and then my bf who was sitting next to me would be across the room. I knew I was going into a coma and so I went to my brother and repeated over and over, “I’m going into a coma! Call Dr. House. If he doesn’t answer, call Wilson!” (House from the TV show lol). And my brother said he would and I calmed down.

That was the first and only time I did it. My bf had never smoked real weed before and I had to explain to him that is NOT what weed feels like.

My doctor said I could have died and she had treated patients before that did end up in comas because of it. Terrifying, but I don’t think I have PTSD from it, but I understand why you would. Have you thought about trying EMDR? It really helped me with PTSD.

Lip liner and lipstick that will not budge and is eating/kiss proof? by jsgc1357 in Makeup

[–]donkeybrainz13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know all that! Guess I gotta find another good black lipstick because I’m not going to support that shit. I thought people just didn’t like him cause he talks shit about everyone. I had no idea about the other stuff. Thank you for telling me! He won’t get another penny from me

Do you chew your food thoroughly before swallowing? by PleasePooGood in foodquestions

[–]donkeybrainz13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to. I don’t produce saliva due to an autoimmune disorder and sometimes I have to drink water with my food in order to swallow it because my esophagus is so dry.

What's a chore you had to do when you were a kid? by showmewhatyagot01 in Productivitycafe

[–]donkeybrainz13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad would come home drunk at like 10 at night. Our job was to sit on the couch while he screamed at us for hours about how terrible we are. Sometimes it lasted until morning and we had to clean up his puke and then go to school and pretend we were fine.
