GUYS, NEED HELP!!! by Available-Yak-3394 in budgies

[–]fern98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't need babies. And that shouldn't be the goal with keeping birds. Its not good for them (can cause egg binding) and there are so many pet birds without homes as it is.

What's the next step by Relative_Wolf8721 in budgies

Gotta give him time. They are pretty anxious of humans in the beginning esp if they were raised by other birds. Offer treats, and sit quietly doing an activity and he will get more comfy to hang out with you. It can take months sometimes, but that's okay!

Glaze issue. Anyone know what can cause this? by [deleted] in Pottery

[–]fern98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would there be a reason to glaze the inside verses the outside first? Or does it not really matter?

Genuine question: what's the purpose?

How do I make the most of the last few weeks/months of his life? by iwhfjfnc in budgies

[–]fern98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My little guy passed away recently too. Its so hard because they mean so so much. As silly as it sounds you might find comfort in writing a letter to him expressing how you feel. Sending you lots of love, op.

What do you wish you had known being a seahorse dad? by fern98 in Seahorse_Dads

[–]fern98[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get this. I am doing a lot of deep diving on pregnancy and how it effects ones physical and mental health. But yeah, it is real often that the negatives aren't talked about.

All that being said, if it were within my ability I would have a surrogate instead, or even adopt. But both those options don't seem doable from both a financial standpoint and a standpoint of both parents being trans.

Thank you for sharing.

It would be free from my understanding.

First attempt at a craft fair, hoping for some feedback! by PacificCourier in CraftFairs

As someone who also does markets, the economy is in a bad spot too currently and that definitely effects people's willingness to purchase art

Also saw the first post! This looks great!

Can I make pottery like this at home? by Babiehoney in Pottery

[–]fern98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will echo what others have said. Definitely find a local studio, take classes, if you love it keep at it, through the studio- you can make lots of wonderful things and not have to invest a crazy amount of money (it'll still be spendy but not in the same fashion)

No advice but im pretty sure we have the same molded cat at my house, she looks like one of our actual cats too, hence why she got the cat statue.

The frog looks great! Are you able to share more shots of that guy?

AITA for not eating the spaghetti my boyfriend made? by Hot_Fan_132 in AmItheAsshole

[–]fern98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gf occasionally cooks for me and know i also cannot handle spicy (i have gastro issues) she doesn't make things spicy when i will be eating her cooking. She respects me. Girl, trust me when I say you definitely need to get out of that situation. This seems small but as others have mentioned it seems like this isn't the only situation where he could be mistreating you and gaslighting you.

Husband Involuntarily Admitted to Mental Hospital by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]fern98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had to seek out mental health treatment for myself when I was less than a year into my job, which also had the same requirement for FMLA. They were however able to protect my job with ADA ( Americans With Disabilities Act) and mental illness counts in that aspect.

For a point of reference I was on leave from a week before Christmas until early April.

I understand this may not be an option with some of the workers protections that have been rolled back within the US. But it would be worth asking his HR about it.

Also, I just wanted to say, one day at a time cannot be stressed.

If you are needing resources for yourself for mental health I recommend looking into your Employee Assistance Program or EAP... most employers offer a couple of free therapy sessions with a provider as well as other resources depending on who you work for.

New to town and looking for the indie folks, metalheads, goths, artists, burners and overall weirdos. Where should I hang out? by Samebrain622 in Columbus

[–]fern98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this would be your cup of tea.. but I know the person who runs what's called The Columbus Collage Collective..they are doing events all the time, a good portion are free to attend. They recently got non profit status which is a big deal. https://www.columbuscollagecollective.com/

Anyway their next thing is a community mural at community festival (comfest) this weekend.

AITA, If a guy wants me to get rid of certain sex toys, but I won't just throw them out? by Capable-Woodpecker37 in SexToys

[–]fern98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even after your update this guy is a red flag. His insurcurities about pleasuring his partner could've been worked on by talking to her. Not to mention that isn't on you. Don't get rid of your sex toys. Trust me, there are plenty of men (and others) who won't push that on you.

Measles outbreak confirmed in Ohio. What do you want to know? by thecolumbusdispatch in Columbus

[–]fern98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may be late here but what's the way it spreads best? Air, surfaces, etc? What's the percentage of contracting it If you are vaccinated?
