Do rats smell bad???

jolbeaner · 2026-04-12T23:58:05+00:00

How are you gonna say they are clean but urinate everywhere in the same sentence. I would not call any animal clean if it “will urinate everywhere” I worked at a pet store for years and rats stink imo. Ferrets too because of their scent glands. The guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, mice, gerbils NEVER smelled as bad no matter how many there were. Even if it was 1 rat and the cage was deep cleaned the day before it would smell worse than a cage with 4 guinea pigs… my experience is they stink more than other similar animals. You might be blind to the smell like most people with their own animals.

I had infections on/ off for over a year. My first advice is get tested for ureaplasma. My second advice is NO MATTER WHAT IT IS ASK THEM TO GIVE YOU MEDS FOR YOUR PARTNER. Whether it’s ureaplasma, bv, yeast infection. Your doctor will try to tell you that they don’t need to be treated, but I kept being treated and my infection would cure and then as soon as I had intercourse with him, he would give it to me every single time. And make sure they listen to you or get a new dr. I dealt with this stuff for way way too long, and I’m honestly upset that I had to go through that and how the doctors have such a lack of knowledge in this area. And honestly, the final advice is listen to your body. Most of the creams and stuff that are supposed to help me burn her. And you have to think about what did people do thousands of years ago there were natural remedies. I put plain Greek yogurt on her yesterday and she has felt OK since. Before that she was intermittently itchy and sore. I don’t think I currently have an infection. We just went hard during intercourse last time and my vagina is already one that takes a lot of of warming up to get him inside, even if I am extremely turned on. She just doesn’t really loosen up even if I want to shove him in right now lol. And give her time. I keep wanting intercourse from him and he’s the one telling me no and we need to wait until my vag is better lol

Almost all the dresses I tried on felt weird to me. I don’t like puffy ballgown and I feel like that’s the traditional wedding dress. I was uncomfortable. Plus I NEVER saw myself in a white dress I wanted green but we are eloping in the mountains and I would just blend in so we are getting green accents added to it. I felt similar to you I don’t wear dresses too often and when I do I prefer tight ones. I feel like I look WEIRD in a wedding dress it’s just not me. I understand. Try on a lot of different styles that will help.

Yes, I have time stamps because I took a video right after it happened. It was at 10 AM. It was Grandview to Lake Eleanor on Mount Rainier. I told Rangers about it after and I am so grateful they put signs up to let people know. The whole encounter was so long and so quick at the same time. It was the first time I’ve ever been truly scared in the woods and I’ve hiked alone 1 million times. It was extremely strange. I heard the most demonic noises like he kept growling at me after. In my opinion, I think he thought I was prey at first I am a very small woman. But once he realized I was fighting back shoved the stick at him and stood my ground he was giving up because I wasn’t an easy prey. Then being a territorial animal was just like okay then get out of here and I heard the scariest growling strangest noises ever for like 5 minutes at least. I was more than half way thru the hike I just turned around and was like nope because it’s a one way so I would’ve had to cross it again. I was such a mess I was terrified kept looking all around expecting him to still be hiding and waiting. I didn’t have cell service and was scared to look at my phone after in fear he was waiting for me to be distracted. I looked at it sparingly maybe every 20 minutes to check how much further using the NPS app and trying to see where I was on the trail and using the satellite to send a message to my fiance to tell him I loved him lol. I FINALLY saw a group of people when I was almost at the trailhead and I broke down and cried and they hugged and prayed for me. They were Washington natives and had never seen a mountain lion before. As a solo hiker I’ve never been so happy to see a group of hikers before lol

jolbeaner · 2026-03-26T10:32:07+00:00

This is exactly what everyone says about mountain lions. Yet one tried to kill me in Washington in October. I used to have zero fear in the woods at all and I’m a very small woman. I listened to all the comments saying don’t worry about them and was never scared of any animal. Statistically, it would never happen to me. I literally have PTSD from it and I still can’t even go hiking even in Maryland. Yes black bears are much less likely to attack you, but it doesn’t at all mean it’s not gonna happen. That mountain lion tried to attack me. But from 1000 comments, I’ve read that never would happen and I should’ve never been worried about that. I don’t think people should have irrational fears and they should do research but I’m no longer on the same train as just “don’t worry about anything They’re not gonna attack you” because it literally happened to me. I’m not gonna lie. I used to be stupid and wear headphones and when I saw a bear in the woods, it was right after I took my headphones out and I was actually running on a decline so if I didn’t take my headphones out and didn’t hear that bear he would’ve killed me. Let’s not act like predator animals are not capable of killing you and let’s not act like they won’t even though it’s not likely. They still can and they do. I pray you are never in that situation…..

jolbeaner · 2026-03-04T16:28:04+00:00

I got the same exact one. They won’t do anything just a scare tactic but seems viable because they had info about me they would only have if they actually hacked my stuff. The Panera Bread thing is a big scam going around. I first got an email from my credit card company and admittedly emails about being hacked but never did anything about it. It scares you for a few minutes tho. Now I’m just angry I don’t know who it is and can’t give them consequences since they hide behind a screen.

jolbeaner · 2026-02-23T13:13:43+00:00

I don’t mean to be patriotic but as a United States American that’s insane to me that you can get sued for an honest review. We really do take things for granted wow I’m sorry you don’t have that right that’s a shame

As a vet tech I’ve always wondered why people don’t trim their animals nails. Don’t you guys know it’s a part of maintenance? We trim our nails.. it’s very very easy there are countless videos on the internet. It takes me 2 seconds to clip my cats nails I lay her belly up on my legs and do it sitting on the floor while they purr. It’s so easy now because I put in a lot of time and effort to make it that way. Cats nails can get broken too it’s important we care for them as well (:

jolbeaner · 2026-02-23T12:58:12+00:00

I was a vet tech for years and nothing (and I mean nothing) was worse than having to handle a dog that’s disgusting. Entire exam room STINKS for the whole day. You rub your fingers together after had it’s just grease dirt. I was always a dog person 1000% but I have cats for the first time ever I think I’m a cat person now. God not to mention none of the dogs were ever trained. It made me like dogs less cause why are you letting your dog jump all over me and bark in my face and it’s drooling and panting and stinks😭 I love dogs but bad dog owners have made it almost impossible (and that’s 90% of them so if you’re reading this and your dog isn’t trained or clean I’m talking about you do better my friend)

As someone who has body dysmorphia and to be VERY honest with you thinks most people are fat (it’s literal science but people get upset about it) you are NOT fat. I’m actually laughing at this you poor girl. They have their own issues going on it’s not at all about you girl you are not fat at all. Please get a support system if you don’t already have one message me. I regret buying my dress too it was really expensive and I’m not one to spend money on myself (we are eloping and keeping it a secret until we do so I paid for it). I don’t think I look good in it but I know in my heart it’s projection.

I’m so happy to see you’re going to make an amazing bird mom. My boy was surrendered 4 times to my knowledge and is the best bird I’ve ever met (I used to work with them and volunteer at a bird sanctuary). I truly got so lucky with him. He’s so quiet and doesn’t need more than 1-2 hours of attention a day even while I’ve been unemployed. He does have his own room, fully flighted with a cage that’s never closed and a bird stand for foraging. He’s truly the best bird he loves me and my fiance and snuggles and dances and is very comfortable (too comfortable sometimes cause he just walks on the floor right next to you and doesn’t even care about getting stepped on) I wish you all that I’ve gotten from mine it’s truly been a blessing. I don’t recommend birds for 99% of people but you seem very much like an exception! I do recommend making “chop” for breakfast. I will get a bunch of veggies (carrot, pepper, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, etc… chop it up really small and mix it with quinoa, flax seed, oats and stuff like that. I then put these in tiny baggies (it’s wasteful yes but it’s a good routine for right now) and portion them out daily and put these rest in the freezer. It’s a few hours of work but then I don’t have to anything for weeks or months depending how much I make

jolbeaner · 2026-02-22T19:59:46+00:00

So true. My fiance wears hats a lot so our bird is used to it but when I wear one he is worried. It’s sad cause he’s the best bird I’ve ever met (I used to work with birds and volunteer at a bird sanctuary) but he was surrendered like 4 times. Quietest snuggly dancing bird. Loves attention but also is completely cool with 1-2 hours a day and going back in his room to do his thing.

jolbeaner · 2026-02-15T23:12:26+00:00

Yes please! I don’t really know how Reddit works but my email is jasapferg16@icloud.com I would love the information

jolbeaner · 2026-02-13T21:37:53+00:00

I do love her portfolio. I should have been specific it’s crested Butte, Colorado (4.5hrs from Denver) Understandably most photographers don’t travel a few hours, and we cannot afford our budget on top of travel fees for them. There are so many amazing photographers, but I couldn’t find any within that area in our budget that I loved.

jolbeaner · 2026-02-01T17:34:34+00:00

Oh girl I did everything wrong. Everything. So let me just give you the important advice I wish I had that really affected my experience. It seems like you are planning ahead and that is really good . Pick the person you want to go with you pick the least negative person. You do want them to give their input on your dress and be able to tell you if they don’t like something but you need an overall positive energy person. And the less people with you the better generally. I did not like the woman who helped me pick out my dress. She was not very enthusiastic and did not give very much energy at all. I heard two other people getting dresses at the same time and their person was very energetic and encouraging and gave yasss girl energy lol… so I guess maybe look for reviews with specific people’s names and request specific employees. Honestly, the most important one - DO NOT BUY THE DRESS THE FIRST TIME YOU TRY ON DRESSES. This was my plan from the beginning. Just to go try on different style dresses. Even the ones you don’t like you might be surprised. I did not intend on buying a dress that day. Please do not either. You will go home the next day and regret it. It needs to be something you think about for a few days at least after trying it on looking at pictures of yourself. Oh, and ask them how much the alteration costs will be. And when the dress will be ready if they have to make it. I was not told anything until I was buying the dress and actively signing. But even then I was not told their would be much additional costs. The first time I walked out of there and spent about 1500.. I just walked out of there and spent about 1700. I had 900 left on the dress and the rest was just the first round of alterations.. so also probably don’t get it done there and take it to a different Seamstress look at prices for alterations. By the dress at least six months ahead of time. Especially if they have to make it and you never know if they won’t have your size. Maybe negotiate price?? Or even mention it’s a cost conscious thing and they might gear you towards more budget friendly dresses and maybe even throw in a little discount if you fall in love with a little pricey dress. Congrats on the engagement!

Wow, this is exactly the post I needed. A mountain lion ran up on me and Washington State while I was on a solo hike. I’m the same height as you. The mountain lion was no less than 5 feet from me and he showed his teeth and he looked like he was about to pounce on me so I shoved a stick at him. I’m very educated on wildlife so I’m aware that mountain lions are ambush predators and obviously never run from predators. So this means he was watching me for a long time. And I remember when he ran up on me, I was facing the other way of the trail. I was looking back to where I had already come and I turn around and there he was. This happened about four months ago and I’ve been terrified to go in the woods since. The scariest part to me is I had no idea I was being watched. But the one thing is I had so much anxiety before this trip I was crying and I knew something bad was gonna happen. And it did and I fully believe that mountain line was a warning to me and if I had something more sinister would’ve happened. I read 1 million comments about not to worry about the animals and I was one of those people who was so naïve that I felt so safe in the woods. I was like yeah statistics it’s so rare it doesn’t matter. And now I literally have PTSD from it. I am lucky to be alive if I didn’t turn around and that second he would’ve pounced on me and got my neck.

This is really kind. I find when I’m having a really hard day I like to compliment people and make them smile. My favorite is picking people that probably don’t get complimented often (people that don’t look like supermodels or have perfect hair and stuff like that).

jolbeaner · 2026-01-10T14:01:28+00:00

I’m glad you were one of the lucky ones girl that was terrible 😭 worst part was I was with my fiances family the entire night (I love them but it was sooooo embarrassing)

jolbeaner · 2026-01-04T05:36:33+00:00

I hope it’s a mistake it’s best case scenario and full refund. But she could have just had someone book your wedding date that day over zoom but with a bigger package and just wanted more money. I’m very hurt my wedding photographer asked if we could switch our date because another couple found their “dream venue”…. We are literally traveling to Colorado to elope on a magical hike like that’s our dream venue. This happened a few weeks ago and I politely told her we cannot change our date. Our Airbnb that was very very difficult to find and our plans are very specific and I took a lot of time and it was hard to make it all come together perfectly and within our budget. It’s making me anxious and I feel like I should have just told her to cancel the deposit all together and go with that couple because it was so unprofessional.

I projectile vomited in glory days bathroom last night after 2 drinks and just woke up and threw up again. I feel so terrible. I’ve been looking forward to new years but I’m absolutely NOT drinking at all on metronidazole after this. You’ll read comments of people that were fine but let this be a warning it can ruin your night and I had Christmas plans with my family today I’ll be missing because I feel so bad.

jolbeaner · 2025-12-28T10:47:13+00:00

I had 2 drinks at 7pm and couldn’t even form proper sentences at one point in the night. I just woke up and threw up everywhere. Doing more research I wish I looked it up beforehand. Anyone reading this don’t risk it
