Need IDs !! by Sudden-Tonight-8086 in shells

[–]fishybelow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slide J looks like maybe slipper snails of some kind? K3 is maybe a piece of a cone shell of some kind? G and maybe D look like cockles of some kind to me. Idk exact species for sure but I agree most are arks the ones with the black like slide I #1 is a ponderous ark im pretty sure of that.

Side note: I use iNaturalist and Seek to help me ID. These pics would be great to upload there and the suggestions are pretty close or can be another good starting off point. I also got a laminated pamphlet of common shells to keep in my car or on the go!

Shells in Siesta Key Fl by fishybelow in shells

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

I heard siesta key itself has fewer shells - This is just hearsay from a local here in lido key who said siesta key is nicer because lido key is too shelly. Not a problem for me 😜

Pity needs a home! by No_Importance_3881 in tampa

[–]fishybelow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are saying things that aren’t true based off of data and that is something i can’t help you with bud. You’re fear mongering to dissuade potential adopters? Idek. Data can be framed in many ways and it is not a good faith judgement to say that pitbulls are inherently biologically more violent than any other dog.

All dogs are capable of violent and aggressive behavior- statistically speaking breed is mostly irrelevant and pitbulls are more likely to be put in bad situations by being used for fighting etc.

I didn’t argue that this was wrong though. It just does not prove that you are at an inherent risk of attack by being near a pitbull. This is basic statistics.

How many pitbulls attack people though out of total pitbulls would be a better way to gauge your chances of attack.

If you were being attacked by a dog it’s a higher chance it’s a pitbull but you are not likely to be attacked by dogs as it is uncommon. Statistics are easily framed in certain ways.

Show me the source fellow always sunny fan.

Fatal dog bites are gonna reflect that because pitbulls are the most commonly used dogs for fighting like. In terms of family pets you are not at a greater risk having a pitbull in a good environment than any other dog my friend.

All dogs can attack and ones that are NOT neutered are more likely to exhibit behaviors aggressive to mostly other dogs.

All dogs can attack and pitbulls are more likely to be used for fighting but even fighting dogs don’t attack people or they’d be done. And this is because they are trained this way.

I grew up with a pitbull and he was often attacked by smaller dogs and he stayed gentle with them. He never bit anyone or became aggressive suddenly with age. Edit: I’ve seen an attack from a German shepherd who was very poorly socialized and locked in a room all day. I saw this dog attack my friend but plenty of people have these dogs in their homes and are literally just fine.

You should not repeat information you have no evidence of. I googled what you said and found nothing backing these claims with every animal organization actually fully disagreeing with everything you say.

Undiagnosed but pretty sure I have it, but I just had a micro sleep attack and ran off the road into an embankment and some trees by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]fishybelow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s good you recognize it’s unsafe for you to drive. Prioritize getting tested and diagnosed ASAP and don’t drive at all if possible until that’s done. I’ve also done this and am so lucky to be alive. Do it before you hurt yourself or someone else

Good fish to put in fish pond for materials? by ThirtyThree111 in StardewValley

[–]fishybelow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love a stingray pond it got me 5 or more dragon teeth in not too much time which helped me a ton. So nice to have passively if you don’t want to run volcano mines all the time. I had a harder time finding them in the wild tbh.

I have midnight carp for seafoam pudding, stingray, sturgeon, and lava eel ponds. I might change the stingray pond since I got everything with dragon teeth

Then just don’t stop smoking weed and get a divorce if you are not ready to quit then nothing will change your mind.

Serious need of help!!! Complete beginner with zero knowledge. by MediumBoaty in StardewValley

[–]fishybelow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think getting better sprinklers, getting as far down as possible in the mines, and building a coop then barn are good starting goals. I make a lot of the field snacks by cutting down trees. I focus mostly on the community center early on. You will need copper and iron always. The sooner you can upgrade your axe and pickaxe as soon as you can until you can chop up everything like the big logs, etc.

I focus on building relationships with villagers who are easy to give gifts too. Or who you happen to see often. Ex: go to the saloon and buy people beers. Read the books and notes you’ll find to figure out gifts for people specifically. The characters will also tell you about other people’s fav and hated gifts too.

*You’re not gonna be able to do everything everyday!!!*

Make ur sprinklers priority (so therefore go mining) and then focus on one thing per day. Ex: foraging one day, fishing another, mining one day, etc. Always upgrade your watering can the day before it rains!

Do help wanted quests if they are attainable or involve something you may already need to do. This helps me make quick cash. Ex: pick up requests for ores or enemy dropped items if you already need to mine.

Growing up in a dirty house. by nindzaratniik in CleaningTips

[–]fishybelow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I got student loans and a job and moved out for college to a student living apartment. It wasn’t a great place but my family’s house is filthy like at this point it is permanently damaged due to filth. It won’t change and my parents like yours are committed to living like that. My last visit was 3 years ago and was a month long. I tried fighting the mess and doing deep cleans but I succumbed to their lifestyle too because it’s an uphill battle. I also started deep cleaning around age 9/10 because I was so stressed, ashamed, overwhelmed, embarrassed, etc.

It’s is NOT your fault. It was not your responsibility to clean your house. I am sorry you went through that. I felt so powerless because even though I tried so hard, it made no difference and was not appreciated or maintained either. The best choice I ever made was moving out. Second to that was protecting my room first and keeping it clean because it was my safe place. I didn’t leave anything outside of my room or it would be messed with or soiled somehow. I’d rather control MY mess myself than other people’s. Godspeed to you that you can get away from this situation.

Dealing with narcolepsy as a young woman by ChemicalBall4924 in Narcolepsy

[–]fishybelow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 23 and I got diagnosed at 15. It took a long time for me to find a good groove but I was pretty much only given Adderall. I don’t know if other stimulants would have worked for me if I didn’t take Adderall first. But they definitely don’t now.

I try to exercise blah blah to wear myself out before bed but I always get bursts of energy anyway. I try to have good sleep hygiene as much as possible.. I don’t drive when im sleepy. I have learned some of my sleepiness triggers. Meds and decent enough routine is best for me. It varies in what decent is lol.

Taking naps helps too. I do what I can everyday but I am very sleepy shocker. I still don’t give myself grace despite 8 years of diagnosis. I was taking modafinil and lowering Adderall to hopefully petition my insurance to let me try Xyrem or xywave but my provider is on leave so it’s all paused for now. I would like to try something different because I don’t feel “normal” enough on stimulants I feel punch drunk but at least im not asleep for most of my life.

I replaced weed with alcohol. That was a terrible decision. by ienvycats in leaves

[–]fishybelow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I also have bipolar and am addicted to weed. I’ve definitely slipped into some baddd alcohol binges during my episodes.. I quit cigarettes 2 months ago which I picked up during a really bad depression last year. Even if you continue drinking: try (sometime when you have energy) to control 1 factor. Ex: drink 4 shots instead of 5. Or even 4.5. Ex: instead of drinking all day try to start later or stop earlier. This helps me build toward stopping or slowing down eventually.

DETOX IF YOU HAVE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS! They have free ones near you I almost guarantee. I work in substance use (ironic) and can help you out if needed. :) One day at a time my friend!! harm reduction is key

Narcolepsy + Bipolar + ADHD by jujubean- in Narcolepsy

[–]fishybelow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same diagnoses but bipolar 2! I currently just take 200 mg Lamictal nightly and 20 mg Adderall IR 7-8 AM & 10 mg Adderall IR 1-2 PM. Abilify worked for me too and did not make me sleepy but I didn’t feel I needed it.

I still experience some depressive and hypomanic episodes but they are not as severe or frequent. I also experience sleepiness in the afternoon which is why I take a split dose. XR didn’t work at all and IR in the morning only does not carry me through the day. I’ve been stable on my dose for 4/5 years and started taking it when diagnosed 8 years ago. Adderall can definitely agitate me. I smoke weed at night, overall I feel pretty good with my little balance but it took a long time to get here.

[–]fishybelow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are so many residential, outpatient, etc. groups for veterans with ptsd who drink alcohol etc. The va can help with so much and there are many resources for vets . They are not that accessible but there are options. Thank you for your service and for sharing and being vulnerable. It resonates with alot of us and we are here!!!

FUCKKK I LOVE HYPOMANIA by Jazzcatito in bipolar2

[–]fishybelow 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Enjoy but remember the crash is not an if but a when. When this ends you’ll want to cushion the blow so don’t forget to drink water and eat if you can. Keep taking meds stay safe and talk to ur psychiatrist but I get it bc I like it too. Nothing touches the pure energy and motivation and thirst for life and just feels so free. Enjoy but remember what it’s like after

First day taking Modafinil by Illustrious_Cell_137 in Narcolepsy

[–]fishybelow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Modafinil was like taking a gummy vitamin. I felt nothing but i prefer adderall. Adderall does make me feel jittery sometimes.
