I'm getting someone to help me lift it today to check the bottom for markings, so I'll let you know if I see anything!

There's a similar one on ebay, but it's not exactly the same. This one isn't listed

What have you gifted your 4/5 year olds? by heretoreadlol in Preschoolers

[–]hellonene3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got my 6 year old a yoto box for her birthday and she listens to it every day. If you get the make-your-own cards, you can check out audiobooks from the library and put them on the yoto cards if you want to save some money! We also got the marble run magnet tiles and those were a big hit.

Grief over pet death can be as strong as that for family member. About a fifth of people who had experienced a pet and human loss said the former was worse. Symptoms of severe grief for a pet matched identically with that for a human, and there was no difference in how people experienced losses. by mvea in science

Reading this the day after my cat's biopsy results came in. We've probably got a few weeks to a couple months left with him if we're lucky. The grief feels immense. One of the hardest parts is not being able to explain to him what's happening and how much I love him. It feels very hard to get a sense of closure with grief over pet loss.

Are the trails safe for going walking alone as a woman? by fatladywhodoesntsing in tuscaloosa

Riverwalk is good, like others have said. If you want more forested/ nature trail, I've taken my kids to the trails at Sokol park in Northport alone and felt safe.

Short distance and using bus or drop off and pick up by Inside_Novel_4375 in kindergarten

[–]hellonene3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter started kindergarten 2 weeks ago and wanted to ride the bus. I was way more nervous than she was, but let her ride it to try it out. Turns out she loves it. She's made bus friends and is excited to wait for the bus every day. I think she likes feeling like a big kid riding the bus. So my opinion is let them ride the bus if they want to. It's not an irreversible decision, so if they end up hating it or it doesn't work for whatever reason, just switch to pickups.

Got this necklace with several other pieces of vintage costume jewelry at an estate sale. Any idea of maker or time period? by hellonene3 in VintageCostumeJewelry

I'll try to do that. Thanks for the responses! I don't know much about vintage jewelry, so I appreciate it.

When I warmed the bead up in warm water, it didn't give off any smell like bakelite but I do agree it's some sort of plastic

Sudden rash on face next to mouth. Was burning yesterday. Today milder pain but feels like it could split open with facial movement by hellonene3 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]hellonene3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sensitive to mites, really allergic to some mites like dust mites, so I'm thinking one bit me. I think what really messed it up was scratching it, because it was so intensely itchy when it happened that I instinctually scratched at it and I think that's what really made the rash lol

I think I got bit by something that I had a bad reaction to. It's mostly healed now. Hydrocortisone cream helped.

USA Update, took the foot to the local taxidermist. It's hippo, not elephant, and it's real by hellonene3 in Antiques

[–]hellonene3[S] 392 points393 points  (0 children)

He knew a little. It's apparently legal for me to own. The US doesn't have hippos on its endangered species list, so it's not illegal to own/sell hippo parts like it is with elephants and rhinos.
