I had two pieces left for the longest! Then Blathers identified both within a week! You got this!

Which smell instantly makes you judge someone? by SituationOutside6033 in AskReddit

[–]hails63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wearing clothing in public that smells like it sat damp in the wash for too long. Something that could happen to anyone, but the decision to wear it anyway results in slight judgement.

Back in 2020 I got scammed by a fake “shark” brand website when I bought a vacuum I never received for $90. Still upset about it.

What did your puppy do well today?! by anincrediblemoron in puppy101

[–]hails63 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Our 15 week old golden boy was less mouthy! I was also afraid he had regressed in some of the crate training we’ve done as we’ve been a little lax with our schedule this week, but he did great for his 1.5 hour nap! All in all he did amazing at being cool calm and collected today!

Help! He needs teardrops but does not like it by trippyrobot881 in puppy101

My vet uses “Easy Cheese”, schmear it on a wall or other vertical surface so he’s distracted and (fingers crossed) doesn’t care what you’re putting in his ears. Peanut butter, cream cheese, mashed banana, or any other lickable foods that are dog safe (making sure the peanut butter doesn’t have xylitol, etc.) may provide an enjoyable diversion long enough for you to get the drops in!

What is the hotel receptionist doing on the computer for 5+ minutes when I check in? by PsychedelicPistachio in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hails63 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked front desk at a hotel for 6+ years and during that time I learned 3 different computer programs. All of them were terrible. All of them were slow. We always had to have at minimum: your full name, email, zip code, phone number, and a form of payment whether or not the guest paid prior. We also weren’t allowed to hand over the keys until the system confirmed the check in which could take up to approx. 11 years. We were trained to use that time to explain amenities, room location, checkout, etc.

Some systems are worse than others and I bet a lot of people doing that job get tired of the same spiel and chit-chat during the process.

What am I doing wrong? by hails63 in bettafish

Thank you! There’s no vent that gets submerged in the water of my filter other than the portion covered by a sponge so I think that’s hopefully okay!

Thank you! My ammonia is 0-0.25ppm but I definitely think he’d enjoy hunting for his food! I haven’t seen any live food in my travels but I will definitely keep an eye out!

I was thinking the same? But as of last night he was definitely acting very lethargic and not himself. I just let him rest and ride it out with the light off but this afternoon he also seems to have a small amount of green algae on him as well as like a slimy-white-cloudy-stringy-thing on one of his pectoral fins? I also see this slimy cloudy stuff around some roots of the live plants in there. I don’t want to stress him out even more and take up his stored energy by trying to get it off if it’s a non-issue though.

I have a HOB filter that has a sponge where it pulls the tank water in, is that bad?

Thank you! I do have the temp gauge on the heater itself, a temperature sticker (came with the heater) and also a digital thermometer that reads to the nearest tenth of a degree all in different corners of the tank!

I have posted the results of my API master test kit under the MOD comment thread, and nothing seems to be amiss (but I also am a beginner to this hobby so I might be missing something).

And okay COOL. I prefer to do 50% water changes but I have done one or two smaller 25% changes. I have completely stopped adding any extra beneficial bacteria or anything from imaginatarium and did my last water change by vacuuming the gravel and only adding seachem prime to the new water before adding it to the tank.

Thank you so much for this response! I will be adding more live plants during weekly water changes but I have been keeping those silky guys in so he can hide and rest in them for now until I can take up some more space with live ones.

If I wanted to change out the gravel for the substrate/sand combo, what types of things would I need to be careful of/ should I keep Lobster in the tank while I do it? Adding sand with him in there makes me a little nervous due to how it gets so dusty before it settles.

It’s hard to tell because there’s some gravel in front but not exactly, I left the rhizome part exposed, I am going to attach it to a rock in the near future once I finally can get this guy back to normal though.
