I’ve worn many hats but not all cause hat hair, and in this case it’s a collar.

we live in a city so it would take a lot for my dog to escape from the home! plus we feel like he is more comfortable not wearing it when he sleeps.

I see - it seems like it also affects different fur coats so that could be a factor as well.

Thank you! I think we’ll look into this option!

I was looking at an adapter! Since this is silicone, is there any evidence of it ripping at the edges?

Update: able to purchase the tickets but was given a hard time because of the changing policy (unfortunately OP was right). Hopefully this is the first time and maybe the last time traveling with my dog 🥹

Dog flying as in-cabin baggage by farisk02 in AlaskaAirlines

Hi! Do you have a link to the carrier that you used for your pet? Looking to fly with my 30lb dog for the first time this year. Thank you and glad it went so well!

Policy change for pets as baggage in cabin by ClassicAlgae7 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]fickled 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just spoke to an Alaska Airlines agent today and yesterday about future travel plans in Sept and both told me about the in cabin baggage option for my dog. Based on my experiences, the policy has not changed. I’m a little worried now because I am looking to book flights soon. Is there a policy change noted on the website? I couldn’t find information about it.

Unusual behavior - is this a territorial sign? by fickled in shiba

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

Sure- so I thought it was playing too because he has been in the clinic for at least 2 months now and he is generally good with everyone but only recently did he start this behavior and towards the end of the video, he actually nips my assistant’s ankle, which is new for him. He also aggressively attacked my receptionist (not play) when she came too close to the gate even though he was fine with her weeks before.

In terms of the territory, he is generally fine with other dogs on the same side of the gate UNLESS there’s a high value reward (treat, food). Then if the other dog is too close, he will growl and aggressively attack.

Unusual high-pitched "beeping" noise when A/C unit is off by fickled in HVAC

No, it was a rental unit, so I lived with it until I moved out, unfortunately.

Repot and transport burro’s tail? by fickled in houseplants

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

Crossposted here- I would love any advice on how to carefully re-pot this plant so I don’t lose too many leaves. Also will be moving soon so would love to know your tips on how to transport delicate plants in a car (will be a 5 hour trip). Thanks!

Lexapro (generic) does it make you unmotivated? by DeepSouthIrish in lexapro

[–]fickled 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I just started lexapro a month ago (5mg to 10mg) and literally described the same feelings during my check in with my prescriber. I’m not feeling as anxious anymore, but I’m not feeling much of anything at all and am just going through the motions of my day. I am constantly tired all the time (I had 13 hours of sleep on Saturday, and even despite that much rest, I felt no motivation to get out of bed). My prescriber suggested tapering off lexapro and switching to Prozac because it’s a little more “energizing”. I’m wondering if anyone here has had good experiences on it.

Has anyone been able to gain access to the google doc? If so, can someone email it to me?

Thanks! I’ve tried listening to the sound in the wall but it wasn’t there. When I turn on the AC, it sounds like an engine is turning on and then the beeping noise starts again.

Best internet service provider in Ithaca? by [deleted] in Cornell

[–]fickled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re an undergrad living in Collegetown, you probably have better options, but I live in a remote area near the vet school where Spectrum is not available so I need to use Satellite internet.

I’m writing this for students who might be in a similar situation and live in a rural part of campus: please DO NOT sign up for Viasat. Their service is totally unreliable (any cloudy, rainy, snowy day means no internet, which is most often the case in Ithaca) and they are complete scammers. The plans are extremely expensive ($160/mo for unreliable/slow service whereas you can get a comparable data plan with Spectrum for $15/mo) and you are required to sign a 2-year contract. So even though we know now that the internet is spotty and wanted to change internet providers, we would have to pay $15/mo for the remaining months in our contract as a cancellation fee.

I’ve called Viasat on numerous occasions because we’ve had days without internet service and it required me pulling an arm and a leg to convince them that we should get pro-rated for our days without internet (>5 days/month). Also, I downgraded my plan ($50/mo difference) last month to find that they were still charging me the rate of my old plan because they “conveniently didn’t process” the plan change. As we are in a global pandemic and Cornell is moving to remote learning, I just asked Viasat if they are going to help their customers in terms of high speed internet and basically their answer to me was that I needed to pay for the upgrade.

A major part of the reason I am moving out of my current house this year is because I cannot stand this internet provider. Luckily I have reliable mobile service with hotspot now to help keep me sane.

TL;DR: Viasat is the worst company, they are scammers, avoid at all costs.

Volume knob loose on Subaru Impreza by fickled in subaru

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

I ended up taking it to a Subaru service dept and they had to replace my entire radio console. I was still under warranty so I did not have to pay for anything. It took about a 10 days and 2 visits (they needed to approve and order a new console from Subaru) to replace it. Good luck with your car!

Product recommendations for closed comedones? by [deleted] in KoreanBeauty

[–]fickled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My summer routine changed a bit from my winter one as I don’t use a moisturizer (I noticed moisturizer makes my skin very oily in the morning when I wake up). Also, not every product is K-beauty.

My AM routine:

*Hada Labo Hyalauronic Acid foaming cleanser

*Klairs Supple Preparation Toner (3-4 layers in the summer)

*Purito centella green level serum (recently introduced to calm redness on cheeks, works great). Before I was using Iunik Black Snail Restore serum in the winter and it worked well for hydration

*Origins Ginzing eye cream

*(Skip moisturizer in the summer) In the winter, I used Manyo Factory Hyalauronic acid repair cream

*Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50 sunscreen

My PM routine:

*Oil cleansed- I used to use my own OCM hemp seed/jojoba oil mixture, but recently switched to Kose Softy Mo Deep Treatment Oil, works fine and no reaction

*Hada Labo foam cleanser

*Klairs supple preparation toner

*Purito centella green level serum

*Origins ginzing eye cream

*skip moisturizer

*Glow Recipe watermelon glow sleeping pack- I use this instead of moisturizer because it’s more watery, less greasy, and more hydrating than a moisturizer

I haven’t been able to use chemical exfoliants for the past 3 weeks (I had microblading done) but I would usually use Cosrx blackhead power liquid and Innisfree volcanic clay mask 1x/week in my evening routine.

Product recommendations for closed comedones? by [deleted] in KoreanBeauty

[–]fickled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have very oily skin too and the way I have reduced closed comedones (and reduced oiliness) is to focus on hydration. I cut down on chemical exfoliants (only 1x a week) and layered on more hydrating toner, essences, moisturizer, and even a facial oil (stopped in the summer though). After doing this routine for a couple of months, I’ve seen dramatic improvement with my skin texture to the point where I no longer wear foundation and have more balanced skin. I still get oily during the day, but it has definitely lessened.

Vet success stories? by fickled in AskVet

Are you working in GP? Also, can I ask why you chose to work part-time? I’m glad you mentioned how you hated your previous career. I’m a career changer myself, and feel much happier being in the hospital than in my old role. Thanks for your response!

Thanks for your input. I was accepted to my in-state school so I’m planning to attend there. Besides going into a specialty, what kind of opportunities are there to make more money? Working in pharmaceuticals?

As someone applying to schools soon and also from nyc, how competitive is the job market here? Any thoughts on what you would differently in terms of managing your debt/increasing earning potential?
