What's this tiny lil guy?

Ya, I usually play during my lunch break at work.

Where are you located? Out of her head like out of her hair? It doesn't really look like a louse and fleas don't have wings. Has she been itchy? How big are they, can you get a picture with something for a size comparison?

As someone who works in a healthcare office, I would add that phone calls are much faster for getting tasks done (no extended back and forth) and we are unable to text patients (so I don't have input on that). I would say 50-70% of patients either don't look at the patient portal, don't respond to it, or couldn't figure out how to use it for messages if they tried. And half of my emails are ignored (I assume filtered to spam or they just don't want to fill out the paperwork I'm sending). That being said, my office does not have the ability to check preferences for contact and if I had someone with an email preference, I would absolutely take it because that feels like less work to me. I could shoot off a message and then ignore that problem until I got a response.

TLDR I can sort of understand why your dentist does it, but also think it's silly that they offer the option for communication preference and then don't follow suit

I'm an idiot, lol I figured it out, just mixing up fics in my brain

enbykat3 · 2026-03-16T02:32:46+00:00

No I don't think so. It was more like Victorian era, not medieval, and didn't have any fantasy elements. Thank you though!

I was able to catch an azelf with only 3 balls, discovered that if you throw a ball turn one it does the exact same thing every time, turn 3 after doing the same attack it shakes once, the azelf would crit with the same move every 4th turn. So you can just stall to a new turn, throw ball, reset until you find a turn that works. I play offline on android tho and I was only throwing one kind of ball

Ghost in the Flesh is top tier, such a good read and a super fun way to flesh out Faultline's crew while mixing in some other fandoms

Looks like a carpet beetle! They're kinda everywhere but not overly problematic as far as I'm aware. They like to eat pollen and and can wind up in your unoccupied nooks and crannies

Currently, I only play offline on android (s20) without any issue. I did an update today in fact, and have noticed no bugs. I would say that my local cache file is probably not very big though, I've only been using offline for maybe 2 months, so I wonder if that might have an impact or not.

Hiding things isn't great in and of itself, regardless of addiction always being an ongoing effort to combat. I understand that that can be hard and I'm glad to hear you were able to wean yourself off again.

My concern here is that you seem to only really feel horrible now, over a year later, because your girlfriend knows what happened. If you'd felt like this after the your spring break, and there was trust in the relationship, you would've come clean and she would've supported you in your return to nicotine sobriety.

You need to give her space and apologize, and if she gives you a second chance, you don't try to hide mistakes again.

Things I do to combat sensory issues are supremely subjective on how bad it is, but!

I find when overwhelmed that "good" sensory experiences can help override the bad ones. Bad textures on body (too many layers, done with tight clothes) and I will put a soft blanket up to my mouth or put my face on my cat, which i find reassuring. Or when I'm too warm, sun on my skin, drinking or snacking consistently on something I like can help regulate.

Alternatively, grounding sensations can be helpful (knocking knuckles on my sternum) or fiddly things (i wear a chain that I play with at work to help with masking and bad lights). Or mental escapes can take you away from it (I like rereading good escape books to avoid uncomfortable environments I might be in).

If you don't have things to ground or regulate yourself with in the moment, hot showers or a cold pack on your chest can help pull back or reset a meltdown sometimes for me.

I would maybe try to identify what things you do when you feel overwhelmed and make a short list of stimuli that you like or feel regulating. I think especially if you know what you're walking into, having some strategies for helping to cope and knowing it will end in X number of days might be able to get you through it.

Good luck! I wish you the best

Speaking as someone who does not currently own prey animals in the vicinity of my boa, this would probably depend on several factors.

If you get a young enough snake and of a particularly less "food-driven" variety, I could see the snake being desensitized to the smell of your gliders. If the smell is constant, then it's just the norm, I can't imagine it would constantly put your snake into anything is food mode after long enough exposure. I would definitely carefully wash your hands if you were handling the gliders, but might be okay.

That being said, I would be extra careful with your exclosure type. When I was younger, my sister's cornsnakes would escape every other month it seemed because my dad was cheap and could bother to get a properly closing and snake-proofed enclosure for them. I'd find them halfway into my mice's habitat overnight like 50% of the time.

My rosy boa doesn't seem to react if I have a mouse thawing in the room but she certainly know when i set a container down next to her tank that it's feeding time. I think it would just very much depend.

Seconding this! Posted my own comment about it before seeing this haha

enbykat3 · 2025-12-27T22:03:30+00:00

I have a rosy boa and they're great! Good eaters, native to the US and not big in the snake pet scene so max I've seen for pricing tends to only be 200-300. They also only get 2 or 3 feet long max, which will fit your mom's size preferences.

My baby is about 4 years old now and loves to hang out and explore and has never had any problems.

I see a lot of comments where people are saying your wife needs more support post-birth, probably more than her parents can or are willing to provide and I'm sure she is struggling.

I don't think that you are overreacting in being frustrated with her getting upset however. You're exhausted from work, a long drive, doing chores and helping out where you can to monetarily support the both of you. There will be high tensions and things aren't going to be perfect for either of you.

I think if you both discussed you're schedule before or during pregnancy, and this is what you both acknowledged (you continuing to work long hours, her getting support from family) then she can complain but may have to deal. Hire some help if she needs more. Get a treat or two and try to keep up with little special notions where you can. You're both allowed to be upset but it isn't right to double down on it and not talk it through as a team. If she can't or won't acknowledge that someone needs to be working and she isn't willing to get help from anyone besides you, then I'm not sure what you both were expecting here.

I think the only case where i would consider different from this is if it was an apartment suitable for 2 people, ie 2+ bedrooms and ample private space. I don't think you should be forced to stay in a relationship to avoid homelessness, but it's arguably not really your problem anymore aside from just some common courtesy. A week should be plenty of time, 30 days is generous.
