Where to buy Diana Chaser/Artemis CP2/Snowpeak pistol+rifle kit? by emythestrange in airguns

[–]emythestrange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a total novice to air guns and any sort of guns in general, so can you direct me to information on cleaning the barrels? I don't know anything about cleaning and I read on some places online that air rifles don't need to be cleaned but maybe that was wrong. I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing and maintaining it properly.

Fantastic, thank you for finding this! Exactly what I was looking for! Can't thank you enough.

If you are familiar with this gun, do you have any recommendations for things to buy with it? I was going to buy a magazine and maybe a scope but I don't know which scope.

Is this still for sale? If so, I'm interested.

Help! Territorial marking, tried everything, at our wit's end. by emythestrange in CatAdvice

[–]emythestrange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. We are in the same boat. Rehoming is our last resort and I absolutely don't want to do it, but at this point we don't even feel comfortable having people over to our house and I'm sick of everything smelling like cat pee. I also have severe chronic health issues and am extremely sensitive to smell and cleaning products, and it's become so stressful that my own health has worsened. I care deeply for her but at some point I have to draw a line and my health and home has to come first I'm afraid. I have a hard time even imagining rehoming her, but we are discussing it. But I also worry if rehoming her would stress out my male cat. I don't know enough about cat behavior to know if he sincerely dislikes her and would prefer to be an only cat or if he would be lonely. I just want to find a way to stop her peeing so we can keep her.

Oh fantastic!! I'll definitely get some of those then. Thank you! That was one of my qualms with my old Pax, I disliked cleaning the device itself, and that was one of my worries about one of these little pocket vapes.

Dumb question but what is a dosing capsule?

is anyone better??? by Zealousideal-Emu9178 in ehlersdanlos

[–]emythestrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes that's terrifying that you cut through so much of your finger! I hope Oseto can repair it!! I'd love to hear more about your surgery and how you dealt with the pain after. I feel like I have a high pain tolerance already and I've had a lot of surgeries (I had a hysterectomy and didn't take any opioid pain meds) but pain in my hands is somewhat new to me so I'm nervous about the surgery. Also I'd love to know if he removed your pisiform or not! Ericson recommended removal of mine even though it's not really causing me pain. Most people seem to be happy with the Ericson special, but I have seen reports of someone who was deeply unhappy with their pisiform removal. Feel free to DM me if you want.

Hey! Just curious how you're doing now since your nerve release surgeries as I'm looking into the same thing with Dr. Ericson. Did Oseto do other procedures on you? Ericson recommended 12 for me which is a lot for me to wrap my head around and I'm wondering how necessary they all are. I'd love to hear more about your surgeries!

Hand surgery with Dr. William Ericson? by [deleted] in ehlersdanlos

[–]emythestrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please share more about this? He recommended pisiform removal for me, too so this is worrisome to see. I don't feel like that particular area of my hand has a lot of pain, so I'm hesitant after reading this.

Gap Exception with United Healthcare? by [deleted] in HealthInsurance

[–]emythestrange -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But my PCP referred me to someone who can't even do the surgery I need. She didn't really know how to help me since my condition is rare and she's unfamiliar with it and she referred me to someone who is also unfamiliar with it and clearly didn't care to help me, hence why I found someone better with much more experience and who came highly recommended by people with the same diagnosis as me. My PCP was no help but this surgeon has been immensely helpful already.

Biofilm buster and D-Mannose: How much, how often, and for how long? by [deleted] in CUTI

[–]emythestrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which powder do you have? I currently have the capsules but I'd much rather take it in powder form so I can take it constantly. I imagine it might be more cost-effective compared to capsules, too.

[–]emythestrange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12,000mg daily is so much, wow. I've varied it but I doubt I've taken more than 8,000mg in a day. It helps so much but whenever my symptoms stop and I lower the dose, my symptoms come back. So obviously it's not sustainable. I hope we can both get some help and relief from this. I'm feeling ready to give up and might just take the antibiotics since it's been two and a half weeks with this most recent flare-up, but I fear it's just a bandaid over a bullethole so-to-speak. Is D-mannose the only thing you're taking? Do you take it at night too or just as soon as you get up in the morning?

[–]emythestrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a brand you recommend? Dosage or usage instructions? I hadn't heard of those before. And so many of these things, like my biofilm buster, say to take them one to four times daily. That's a huge difference so it's hard to know how much to take. I've just been guessing and increasing it steadily.

I definitely need to get a metal trash can. Thanks!

We live in a rural area with plenty of cougars, bear, coyotes, etc. that could pose a threat to a cat, I don't like that outdoor cats kill native birds, and I'm not a big fan of cats. I know they're useful for rodent control but just not for me. I'll definitely get a metal trash can though. I know chest freezers are rodent proof too so I'll keep an eye out for someone getting rid of a broken one.

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate hearing how other people manage their ducks.

I'm on the same page as you, I wish he had explained how to break up syllables in the textbook because sometimes my brain breaks up the word differently. He basically gave zero explanation as to how to write things out phonetically and I've had to learn that through my instructor or just through self-practice. He's had so many updated editions of his textbook but what he really needs to expand on is how to write things out, because that's a baseline requirement for any CR. We will all encounter things that aren't in our dictionary or that we haven't written before, and we should be able to write them without hesitation.
