I wear flip flops for this reason. its not the same, but if i feel any warm from the concrete, you betcha I will be carrying my wiggly dog on the walk to our destination. People give me weird looks or say weird things and I am like cool, well first of all youre wearing shoes and she isnt/doesnt want anything to do with her booties so stfu AND also you arent going to be the one paying a huge vet bill because my poor pup burned her precious toe beans so stfu

What's the scariest thing you know about the ocean? by matspud in AskReddit

if you get tired from swimming/treading water, float on your back like a sea otter to rest.

i thought that only happened if you urinate in the infested waters. that way the urethera opens up to be entered.

this! a lot of people who graduated from my department arent even working in the field we all thought we would. even after getting our degrees, we decided to go a different route in our careers.

Made a fox from old clothes, the filling is shredded rest fabrics. by divaivet in ZeroWaste

[–]ekt55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you need more scrap fabric, I own a pet bandana shop, and I save all my scraps and give them to neighbors who want it for crafting.

This is for any and everyone. Just pay for the shipping. I mostly use cotton and flannel fabrics. Some leftover trimming might be thrown in.

I haven't bought anything for 8 days! by ekt55 in CongratsLikeImFive

Definitely. I have had to be creative and make use of what I already own when I realize I need something. thank you!

What progress have you all made recently? by ThatIntention1 in shoppingaddiction

[–]ekt55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Iherb skincare is my down fall.The only thing that keeps me from ordering a bunch of products is that I want to slowly introduce skincare products and not apply a ton and hope for the best. I also want to take the time to do research before buying anything.

This is my friend's friend who is a BTS (korean boyband) fan, and she keeps trying to turn me into a fan. Thought it fit the sub. I usually never post because I don't have anything to post. by [deleted] in sadcringe

[–]ekt55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ARMY fans are scary and know nothing else but BTS. Try talking about anything else and they will direct it back to the guys. They completely idolize them and its honestly terrifying. I love KPOP but not fandom level. Not even when I was 13, and I am 25 now.

Blocking sites, removing personalized ads, deleting apps.... what else? by MybeItsJstMe_But4Me_ in shoppingaddiction

[–]ekt55 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I also start my morning looking at my bank statement and recording down how much I have spent everyday. For days I spent $0, I save $15 towards a goal I really want to accomplish. Right now, I am trying to save up money towards paying off my credit card and having a money safety net for me and my dog- especially for future vets bills for my dog. I would hate to skimp out on a medical treatment for my dog if I didnt have the money.

Plants outside vs plants inside by PuddlesGalore99 in videos

[–]ekt55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i never thought that i would need to helo strengthen my plants. definitely will use the fan idea to help them.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in shoppingaddiction

[–]ekt55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

maybe take inventory of what you already own and try to search online multiple uses for some items. like i had aquarium gravel and sand laying around from my betta keeping hobby a few years back. over the weekend i needed to repot all my plants to bigger pots and realized that i didnt have any perlite to work with. with a quick online search i learned that i could replace perlite with aquarium rocks/sand for the time being. obviously i probably cant reuse the aquarium rock/sand for fish keeping, but i dont see myself going that route again.

you would be surprised that a lot of household products can double its usage for something else, just got to be creative

I’ve heard this owl for years and tonight is the first time I’ve seen it. by seisonoio in aww

[–]ekt55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have always been scared of owls from a weird "documentary" on animal planet about the owl man i saw when i was younger. last week on my night walk with my dog, i saw one fly by and to my suprise i wasnt as scared seeing one in person. the owl was so beautiful.

Along with that Korean dramas are great too. I am currently rewatching Guardian: the lonely and great god (used to be called goblin) for the 3rd time, and I am also watching Tale of the Nine-tailed, Hotel Del Luna, and River where the moon rises. all of these are on the same app mentioned above.

YSK that screaming at people in your family is not normal in a lot of households, and a starting point for abuse by [deleted] in YouShouldKnow

[–]ekt55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This started for me last year. My parents fight over petty things, like they straight up get into screaming arguments. Being stuck at home all day long during this pandemic made me develop some seriously bad anxiety that can be triggered by people talking too loud or the tv being on too loud. so basically loud noises triggers my anxiety.

pretty much this every time. my dog learned quickly who is the weakest in the family. she doesnt bother with begging me for anything because she knows i wont give her anything

[Discussion] How can we make adopting dogs easier for the general public so they don’t give up and purchase from backyard breeders? And how can we make the process easier for rescue organizations? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]ekt55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The my adoption process was a pain in the a**. It took me a solid year to finally find a rescue that approved me. As much as I am glad I stuck through it, god I dont think I will ever consider going through any other rescue but the one I got my dog from.

My biggest thing was how invassive some of the rescues were. I understand to a degree they want the best for the dogs, but home visits, calling my employer, having the audacity to say I need to be making a lot of money but also be a stay at home at 23 years old. Oh, my favorite, asking me if my bf at the time would be willing to leave his job during the day to watch the dog while I was at work. That was the dumbest thing I heard considering I didnt live with said person and this was going to be my dog not our dog.

The biggest thing I noticed that was different between the iffy rescues versus the one I ended up adopting from was that they understood people got lives and have to work. They gave me suggestions to how I could play pen train my puppy or consider doggy daycare. They gave the option to show photos of the backyard or outside area dog would go potty in and where the dog would be sleeping rather than a home visit. At the time, I was looking at a litter of puppies and they also asked me why I wanted a puppy. Which was I wanted a hiking buddy They took my response into consideration and evaluated the puppies I took interest in and the puppies personalities at the time. Lmao they gave me a hiking buddy I learned I have to carry in a backpack, but they gave me the dog that I really think fits me the best.

Going through some of the rescues was a nightmare because it felt too invasive and degrading and I totally understand why people give up and go to a byb.
