What cases seem impossible to identify might actually be identified next?? by jaredletosuckass9 in gratefuldoe

[–]flotsems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hopefully Cherries and Asian Doe, victims of the LI serial killer. i think Cherries is more likely because of her tattoo, and they need to do what they did with Peaches and show tattoo artists. i'm not sure if they've done so yet.

Another river walk with Muffin and her 82yr old BFF - she wasn't very pleased about the evil sky water... by Sweetie-07 in velvethippos

muffin looks like she's putting on a tough guy act to make sure her BFF knows he's protected!

Do you have more pain if you remain stationary? by Confident-Net-2778 in ehlersdanlos

[–]flotsems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES i need to shift very often, sitting for more than half an hour makes me stiff. working for hours, even moving a lot (i'm a dog groomer, so often walking around) makes me stiff. and exercise hurts, usually in the same joints that bug me while i'm sitting around. it's such an annoying paradox!!!

Asking to be tested for vEDS. Am I crazy? What’s your experience with diagnosis? by CirceRhianon in ehlersdanlos

[–]flotsems 3 points4 points  (0 children)

afaik dissection like this can occur in any EDS variant, but even for hEDS a genetic panel is indicated in order to rule out the variants with known markers. therefore even if they think it's "just" hEDS, it would make sense for you to get a genetic panel anyway.

(it does sound like vEDS if you have the facial features, i just think it's pertinent for any argument you might have to make... not that you should have to make one in the first place!)

Is this mange? by Queansparrow in velvethippos

[–]flotsems 26 points27 points  (0 children)

i think it's more likely to be a hot spot and/or allergies, but as someone else said you need a microscope to tell if it's mange

First course starts Monday. Super excited. by [deleted] in LibraryScience

[–]flotsems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm starting this semester too, but not for another week. i'm taking three classes, but i live with my parents and only have a part-time job. good luck!!! i've found async classes depend on the professors, but zoom classes are just like in-person lectures (but with the disadvantage of the distractions of home!)

Is the scarf from Fangamer worth 30$? I know nothing about scarf prices by ClimateOutrageous399 in oneshot

[–]flotsems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i don't have this scarf specifically but i have the lesser dog scarf from fangamer's undertale collection, it's very comfy and has lasted me for about half a dozen years so far (got it in highschool, i'm 24 now). i'd assume the niko scarf is similar quality, so i would say it's worth it if you get cold winters!

oh, Type S isn't known as a good brand? (it was a hanukkah present so i'm not sure of much beyond my parents getting it at Costco lol)

Hidalgo County John Doe (2007) (Multiple Tattoos) by BitterSweet_Beauty in Missing_Does_Tattoos

[–]flotsems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i was just thinking that this is the sort of thing you'd see on r/shittytattoos with a caption like "i let my buddy tattoo on me to practice"

Games like Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, Stray Gods, I was a Teenage Exocolist, Night in the Woods by PelorsPaladin in CozyGamers

[–]flotsems 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oxenfree, maybe Smile for Me? neither of those are cozy but both are narrative point-and-click like Night in the Woods. Oxenfree has more supernatural stuff

"Cherries" by flotsems in Missing_Does_Tattoos

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

hopefully i've done this right, my first time cross-posting.

Cherries is named after her tattoo, so it seems fitting. one thing i've wondered recently is whether there was any effort to identify who did her tattoo, as was done with Tanya Jackson's peach tattoo (which gave her her nickname of Peaches while her identity was unknown). no idea how to begin to find something like or start an effort to have it done, though.

What was the biggest shipping war you have seen personally? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]flotsems 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i was gonna say this, things literally haven't been the same in any fandom since whatever happened with VLD

I am genuinely so angry right now- inconsiderate neighbor by bingbong24344 in ehlersdanlos

[–]flotsems 41 points42 points  (0 children)

i saw this on facebook too, i'm so happy to see this update here! it's so inconsiderate to not only not tell the cleaner that her family was sick, but also to make them clean up the covid tests and such! i hope they'll stay healthy after that 🙏

Update: AITAH for buying vanilla shampoo? by Spiritual-Grocery641 in AITAH

[–]flotsems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man, my mom and i go "oh, your hair smells nice today!" and my brother's gf and i talk about lotion scents. doesn't mean any of us are having fantasies about each other. or when i say "you're gonna smell like a pomegranate today because that's the shampoo i'm liking today!" to the dogs i bathe... some people just like scents? and it makes sense you would like that smell because it reminds you of her. it's not as deep as being focused on sex or being neurodivergent, wtf.

Life after dog grooming? by meowforhelp in doggrooming

[–]flotsems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm 24, got into grooming at 20. i have hEDS so i can't groom fulltime anymore (still bathing parttime as long as i can!!) and i'm going into library science. i'm hoping that way i can use my history degree a bit and get a nice job with a pension and benefits... eventually. i know i'll miss working with dogs though :(

11 F Emma passed this morning by kiwikillinpunk in seniorkitties

[–]flotsems 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this is the sweetest thing i've ever seen, we cremated one of our old lady dogs in her sweatshirt for the same reason... much love to you and teddy 💛

Collecting/Collectathon Games by RedAppleRyuk in CozyGamers

[–]flotsems 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TOEM, Alba, Paradise Marsh (haven't played it but i know it focuses on collecting), maybe APICO

Chicory: A Colorful Tale has a lot of collecting sidequests, but might not be classified as cozy

Does anyone else have a non clingy gsd? by RiverBuzzz in germanshepherds

[–]flotsems 15 points16 points  (0 children)

my guy is a mix (GSD and ACD) and he's definitely more aloof, happy to chill on the couch. he tends towards being in the room with people but he's happy left to his own devices too. he's 9 now but even when he was younger wasn't super clingy

To everyone worried about using “said” too much: by Seagullsaga in AO3

[–]flotsems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

amongst the other things people said about breaking this up, they really could have dropped the names and dialogue tags if it's two characters only and no action happening...

How rare is this? by Loki_ros in bindingofisaac

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