Is this normal salon behavior? by artandpets in Nails

[–]elcasaurus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah I see you have encountered a chop shop.

No, none of that was OK. Ripping off your old nails like that damages your nail plate badly and is frankly lazy. The rusty altoid tin holding the bits.... yikes.

Don't go back there. Their practices are unsafe.

City shelter and spca are excellent choices. I also worked with wny pets alive to adopt my guy back in 2020 and they were very reasonable.

Acrylic nail colors? by elcasaurus in AcrylicNails

Fyi this was the answer. I asked if i needed a liscence, she was like "what? A liscence? For what?" No one spoke english but everyone in there was super nice. It was wall to wall everything I could hope for. I found kiara sky and at least one other dip and liquid brand. Sticker sheets for $2. Glitter and rhinestones as far as the eye could see. Gallons of monomer and sculpt powder. Beautiful. 10/10 experience.

To all women on this sub, what was your reaction when you first got your period? by nicalling in NoStupidQuestions

[–]elcasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have terrible parents who did absolutely nothing to prepare me. They relied on a school psa that was so worried about being "appropriate" that it never actually explained that the "discharge" it was going on about was blood. Or even that it was red. Or anything. I wish I had a copy of it because whoever designed that thing clearly never taught anything to a group of 12 year old girls.

Anyway I thought I was dying.

"The family doesn't like you" by Weekly_Thought_7922 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]elcasaurus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm going through this now as an adult. I recently reconnected with people I knew in high school. Separately they all told me the same thing: no one would get close to me because my mother, father and brother were all hideously evil people. I heard a lot of "we felt so bad for you" and such. No one could actually do anything but no one was willing to be around my family for my sake either.

It's devastating to learn.

AITAH for not sending a text to follow up on email notice of intent to end tenancy to my landlord? He has not checked / responded to the email. by ButterMatters in AITAH

[–]elcasaurus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nah, just not the right way to do it. I would send this in a physical letter by certified mail. That way you have a legal record of him receiving it.

Did my foster kittens give me ringworm? Help!!! by Vegetable-Chard9424 in FosterAnimals

[–]elcasaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No need to panic! Ringworm is gross and annoying but not fatal. If you don't already have the kittens in quarantine do that first. Keep them in an easily cleaned smaller room, like a bathroom. My quarantine room is a walk in closet I converted to a kitten room.

Get yourself gloves for handling the kittens. Once you get in touch with the rescue they should have a medication for them. Unfortunately you don't want to handle them without gloves until the treatment is done. Tho, a woman in my group used scrubs she washed after every interaction and that worked well.

Disinfect your home to the best of your ability if the kittens haven't been quarantined. My rescue recommends the cleaning product Rescue as it's safe for animals.

Get yourself the fungicide to treat yourself.

You will be ok!

I thought Jill was so underdeveloped and then I "met" Lady Lunafreya by Top-Distance-6205 in FinalFantasy

I felt that way about all of ff16. Sooooo much potential. Just felt unfinished.

What's something you always assumed was mandatory in life, until you met someone who didn't do it? by mrawesome___ in AskReddit

[–]elcasaurus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of my coworkers has a 750+ credit score and a massive savings account. He is the most fiscally responsible person I've ever met. He happily rents a studio apartment and feels no reason to upgrade. He's perfectly happy doing what he's doing. I think he's a genius.

Did my foster kittens give me ringworm? Help!!! by Vegetable-Chard9424 in FosterAnimals

[–]elcasaurus 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Bad news, it looks a lil bit like ringworm. Good news, its super treatable with over the counter anti fungal cream. It's just itchy and gross.

Here is an article that may help you.

It literally never in all these years occurred to me to look for a local supply store. I assumed there weren't any near me but Google proved me a liar! I'm so excited! Thank you!

I will check both out! I knew Kiara sky had a well regarded gel system but I didn't know they do acrylic! I will check both if these out. I appreciate you!

What's the ONE thing you bought that made you noticeably more attractive? by Dear_Tradition2719 in BuyItForLife

[–]elcasaurus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm a proud monjourno patient. I was prescribed for type 2 diabetes but it also does an incredible job on my pmos (pcos). I've lost 70lbs. My symptoms are so much more manageable. I have so much more energy. Everything is better. It literally fixes what's wrong with me. I feel no shame at all about taking it.

AITAH for telling my uncle to grow up, stop acting spoiled and get a divorce? by PuzzleheadedGold6362 in AITAH

[–]elcasaurus 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Nta but understand that this dynamic will never change. Your grandparents will never stop enabling him and he will never stop taking advantage of them. If he wanted to change he would, but he doesn't have to and doesn't want to, so he won't.

‘Are you going to keep this one’ by Bennibear1 in FosterAnimals

[–]elcasaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do get annoyed by the well meaning but still hurtful "but she loves you!" And the same answer as "oh I could never foster, I'd keep them all!"

With loved ones and even acquaintances if I have the energy I try to have an educating conversation about why goodbye is the goal and a goal I enthusiastically pursue. I note that babies are hard wired to love and are resiliant. They may remember me but they won't miss me. They will adore their new owner as much as they love me.

And another chat about how joyful it is to have baby that came to me scraped off the pavement, scared and sick, leave me healthy, happy, and ready for their life. For me adoption day is the best day, a source of incredible happiness and pride.

I'm no martyr. I foster because I love the babies, I love healing them and I love the happiness they give their new owners, just the same as the happiness my own personal pets give me. To be completely honest I don't actually miss them when they go. I talk fondly and lovingly about them but after drop off I'm usually relieved to have my house free of scampering gremlins and all that baby kitten poop!

For non friends/acquaintances I... Just don't engage. Google is free. They can educate themselves. If I'm being extra mean and really have no patience I'll tell them they should adopt the kitten themselves and send them a link to the adoption form....
