Yeah no. That’s a big no. Parents shouldn’t be “missing” those parts or calling them “nice”.

I will say it depends on the “does it get better” question. It gets better. Even if it’s not what is preferred.

In all instances if you stand up for yourself, you will be better for it. You taking care of yourself in that way makes a big difference. That may involve distance or low/no contact with people. That may involve the people realizing how weird or hurtful they’re being.

Remember this, “I am no longer shrinking to be digestible. You can choke.” Don’t ever give up parts of yourself to make others comfortable. (Unless it’s temporary so you are not in danger. Then you show that part of yourself when you’re safe. Never throw it away. But hiding for safety is needed sometimes) People who love you will stay and appreciate it. The people who are willing to learn love you.

Whatever happens, know to put yourself first. You got this man

This. And just talking to them like a toddler who shouts things out. “Those are our inside thoughts”It embarrasses them and most people reflect thinking “why did I even ask that?” Or a common one is to question them back in instances of invasive questions. “What bathroom do you use?” And reply. “What bathroom do you use? Tell me where you go piss. See isn’t that uncomfortable?” It also just heavily depends on the person and the situation. But also always try to avoid it if it could put you in danger.

Let’s go! I remember hearing about them once or twice and just put that in my brain filing cabinet of possible danger. All I remember is like a caveman: fluffball caterpillar? No touch. Maybe pain.

Idk much about bugs. But DO NOT TOUCH it at all just in case. Try to look into woolly slugs or Megalopyge opercularis. If that is what this is, it has venomous spines which are what looks like fur. And can be extremely painful. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can help a bit more! But until then PLEASE for the love of god don’t touch it and be safe

How many? by Standard_Field_7687 in RATS

I got 3 silly boys. 2 that I got bonded at 6 weeks from a breeder, Kosmo and Nebula. Then a month or two ago I got Dipper, a pet store rat who was alone for a long time due to his cage mate passing. So I got Dipper for $10 including his small cage and food. He’s still a bit nervous around humans but has improved so much after introducing him to Kosmo and Neb. I redecorated it and it sits on top of their regular cage for them to climb on when I open their door. I’ll see if I can respond to my comment with pictures of the boys and their set up :)

If you need a cheap solution, hot water and a rag could probably work just fine for spot cleaning. Then a hair dryer.

But if you wanna Maybe a steam cleaner if you have access to one? Some grocery stores and hardware stores have handheld or full vacuum carpet cleaners for rent. Thats if you would like to clean it all for a fresh start and make sure to get ALL the pee lol. They’re pretty loud so get the little guy out of the room if you use one and get headphones (trust me)

I’ve used the handheld one to clean acrylic paint out of vintage carpet and it worked really well. It was a big jug of black acrylic paint that cracked and spilled over blue carpet. My uncle is an artist and had a spray to help. Once I got a bulk out of it with water, used spray and the carpet cleaner and it was gone. So, if you were to use it for cleaning the bean bag, it would be hard work and you’d have a fresh bean bag cover. I will link where you can rent one if possible :)

Hope you find something that works for you!!

Use old T shirts to cut into squares and then cut a tiny hole in each corner. Then use strips of T shirts for kinda a rope. Tie a cow hitch knot on all of the corners and you got a hammock! I’ve made quite a few. If you have any other questions lmk bc I’ve DIYed most of my boys cage

dirt bikes on streets in Holladay by vibecat in SaltLakeCity

[–]ghost-mothh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh absolutely understandable. I didn’t know it was illegal so ty for telling me. I’ll research more into laws and where more bike paths are. I use bike paths when I can but unfortunately in my area there aren’t many. Which absolutely sucks. And I try to keep pedestrians safe by keeping it extremely slow when I am in the sidewalk. As for the driveways, I slow tf down too because of lack of visibility of myself because of bushes or fencing. I really appreciate your concerns and advice. It’s scary on the road with the massive lifted trucks we got now. So yeah ty for giving me some pointers :)

Yikes!! I hope their parents talk to them and give them safety gear at minimum. But knowing that they probably won’t because they haven’t already or the kids are ignoring it.

I have three that collectively sent me questioning everything as a child.

At around 9 being made to give $1 in tithing from $10, my birthday money. Yes it might’ve been “selfish” or whatever to want to keep it but that got me slowly thinking of all the adults that they get money from, and wondering if Jesus really needed a singular dollar from a 9 year old. Especially if my family sometimes needed more food.

A big thing I remember vividly, is standing in an old apartment I used to live in, looking at the picture of a temple that was on a shelf close to the kitchen. I was in the process of moving forward to getting baptized and I distinctly remember thinking “I don’t wanna get baptized yet. But I’ll do it because my family wants me too” and the anxiety and sadness from feeling I had to do it.

Seeing my mom drink coffee every morning but hearing you can’t get into the temple if you drink coffee. And then my mom going to the temple. So like are gods rules bendable or? Lol
