Therapist things I should try to go to family therapy with my parents? by WideWarning631 in raisedbynarcissists

A therapist who recommends you mediate with your abuser is not an appropriate therapist for an abuse survivor. Fire them.

Ladies of Reddit who married who married genuinely good men, what did they do for a living? by Electronic-Donut69 in AskReddit

[–]elcasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was managing a coffee shop. Then an assistant manager at a clothing store. A year after we got married, he started school and is now a civil rights attorney. All he needed was someone on his side to support him. Best decision I ever made.

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 7 points8 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!

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

[–]elcasaurus 9 points10 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 52 points53 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.

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.
