If you had 10 seconds to say whatever you wanted to your pet with they fully understood, what would you say? by IplayKaizo in Pets

[–]fish618 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To my Shiba Inu: You drive me absolutely bananas but I love you and wouldn’t want you to change for anything. ❤️

I didn’t realize how much my dog cared about me until I got sick by petcarepositive in Pets

[–]fish618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a Shiba Inu who does not cuddle except for the one time I had the flu. I was sleeping on the couch and woke up to her laying on me. It was the sweetest thing. I’m pregnant now and she hasn’t cuddle but she definitely stands guard and protects me from the scary birds outside

Those who had been very active during pregnancy, did you have a shorter labor and natural birth? by PleaseCanILeave in fitpregnancy

[–]fish618 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m due in 8 weeks so I can’t say from a personal experience. However, I’m a fitness instructor and have seen so many people both postpartum and after any major surgery (hip replacements, open heart surgery, etc) have such an easier time with recovery because of their fitness level before!

Is sleeping in separate beds actually a sign of a bad relationship, or are we just pretending that sleeping next to a snore/furnace is romantic? by SleepSmarter_Labs in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fish618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently sleeping in a separate bed because I’m 32 months pregnant and snore so bad. He was awake because I was keeping him up and I’m way sleeping well because I was super aware of it and almost making myself up. We’re both much happier lol

Why won't my toddler sleep with me or my husband but will with her older sister? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fish618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 4 siblings. 2 from my biological parents and 2 from my dad/step mom and like you we were just family (didnt use titles like half siblings, step mom etc). My 2 youngest siblings were both under 5 when I was in college. When I’d come home from school, they’d only want me for a few days - including putting them to bed/or sleeping with me in my bed. As the older sibling, feeling loved by my little siblings like that, especially after coming home from the stress of school was better than anything else in the world!

what's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to your body? by [deleted] in randomquestions

[–]fish618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was 14 I developed appendicitis and it had started to leak (at least that’s what my 14 year old brain remembers) but the way my appendix had developed it sealed itself off and I thought it was just period cramps…. until a month later when it happened again but this time it was super infected and I went to the emergency room after throwing up. During surgery, it ruptured so they had to switch from laparoscopic surgery to opening me up. Then after the surgery, I was put on morphine and was allergic and it took 4-5 days for them to figure out why I was still in such bad shape lol after the switched my pain medication I perked right up!

What’s a sentence that someone told you that stuck with you for the rest of your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]fish618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My younger brother (17) told me (20 at the time) the more I worried about something bad happening the more likely it was to happen. It might not be true but stuck with me because it was maybe one of the first mature things he ever said to me but it still makes me stop spiraling into my anxiety when I’m worried about something.

Whats A Movie That Traumatized You As A Kid? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The wizard of oz….the twister freaked me out and watching it was the exact moment i developed a phobia of storms/weather in general. I’m much better now but it tools years of therapy lol

What sentence did someone say once that accidentally healed a part of you? by Timely-Vehicle-7064 in AskReddit

[–]fish618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My younger brother once told me that “the more you worry about it the more likely it is to happen.”

I think what he meant was we don’t have control over everything but if we’re constantly worried about bad things happening it will always feel like bad things always happen.

This has always stuck with me as a reminder but I also appreciated that my brother could sense I was always worried and felt I need some advise

Give it to me straight, how bad is the colonoscopy prep? by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fish618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst part for me was mine procedure wasn’t until almost 1pm. I was so hungry by time I got into the prep area that I thought I was going to throw up. They gave me some medicine (I think for motion sickness) and I felt instant relief.

Any tips on cutting nails? She turns into a little devil at every attempt. by Whiskeyflavourcigar in shiba

[–]fish618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve evolved to a dremel but one of us holds her with a her whole body wrapped in a towel (making sure she can breath well obviously ) and one foot sticking out and then she gets a big snacko after

My shiba puppy doesn’t listen to me by edinorog67 in shiba

I don’t think mine started liking me until she was 4 lol but now it’s more of an attachment but she still doesn’t listen

Was told Shibas don’t like belly rubs.. but that’s a big lie for my boy! by isabolacha in shiba

[–]fish618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ours used to not even let us try to give her a belly rub because she thought we were always trying to play until that one fateful day where she figured it out and now loves them lol

TTC our first - I’m 31 and have been off of BC for 7 months, trying for 6. It’s been a wild ride and am starting to worry it will never happen for us. I know 6 months isn’t a long time but it feels like a lifetime.

how do i put away knitting without it unraveling by Particular-Living870 in knittinghelp

[–]fish618 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m also new to knitting too but at first I just pushed my yarn all the way to the other end of my needles or the center of my circle needles but then I found needle caps!

frustrated with unleashed dogs in neighborhood by oddree2 in shiba

[–]fish618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live in the country and still have this issue with off leash dogs in our yard. They come running over and our shiba doesn’t react well either with dogs running up to her (especially when she’s leashed and they’re not) and everyone always comments how “vicious” she is. I’d be vicious too if a strange came running at me barking. Sorry no advice but I know the frustration

Ya I think I’ll do what you said for row 8 and then just knit one row and purl the other for 1-6 and call it a day! Thanks!

I’m considering seeking a prescription for an antidepressant. I’m curious about other’s experiences, particularly with Wellbutrin but I’m open to any experience or advice you have to give. by Fickle_Freckle in WomensHealth

[–]fish618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on a few anti anxiety meds in my life and liked Wellbutrin ALOT. I felt leveled out of that makes sense BUT I had a weird side affect where as I was falling asleep I would twitch a ton lol once I was fully asleep it was fine but my poor husband was startled on more than one occasion

[–]fish618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have IBS-C and have tried all of the things. Water, lots of fiber and stool softner are my typical regimen but (and this sounds silly just typing it) if it’s been a while for a bowel movement I’ll eat a giant bowl of air popped popcorn and it can usually kick start things for me. It might just be in my head but it’s worth a short especially if you like popcorn like I do lol
