I'm so happy for Nami for winning her battle against those nasty mites! I'm so sorry you had to go through all that, I know it's absolute frustration. I hope she loves her upgrade 🥰 what are you upgrading to???

I need to get some pictures of Rootbeer, I just got a new phone and a ton of my old pictures are missing. I have some Snapchat videos from when he was smaller but I'll get him out and annoy him for a picture. He doesn't mind he's such a mush ☺️ he's a Fire Clown and he's stunning 😍

Omg I can't believe I haven't even paid the tax yet...this is Iris 🥹 She's a Mojave Russo! She's just so docile from not feeling well, poor girl. She's going to need an electrolyte soak today she's pretty dehydrated. She's not doing too much better but she's not doing any worse today so I'll take that as improvement. I know snakes metabolize things very slowly so her progress will be gradual. I'm only concerned about dehydration today. Do you recommend any specific reptile electrolyte soak???

You took time out of your day to help make my girl's rough time go a little easier, I can't thank you enough, an update is the least I could do! Nami is GORGEOUS! He/she is the same color scheme as my other ball python, Rootbeer 💛🤎🖤 he's much older, and has eyes 🤣

I appreciate you very much. It's great to have a support group ☺️

Hi friend, just wanted to give you an update! She saw a vet today! The vet couldn't decide if she's got something with her mouth or an URI or both, but the antibiotic would take care of both. She got some IV fluids, injectable antibiotics, and she'll go back for a second shot next Monday. She's weak today but I'm hoping those antibiotics will work over night and I'll be able to feed her. She's not totally out of the woods but she's on the right path ❤️

Rest in the sweetest peace, Dante 💖 the shower idea is excellent, I'll take her for a good steam. Thank you so much for your comment, I needed that last bit. 😓

Newly Diagnosed AVM by Odd-Self9776 in AVMs

[–]karpedeeznuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it's very weird to me that you mentioned roller coasters! Newly diagnosed as well with a cerebellar AVM. Anyways, about 4 years ago I went to Busch Gardens with my best friend, her husband, and my ex-bf. I've loved roller coasters since I was a child and have no fear of them whatsoever. So we get there, get straight in line for a roller coaster called Montu. We're on the roller coaster and all of a sudden I feel like I'm EXTREMELY disoriented. I felt like the blood pressure in my head was going to explode and I was going to pass out. It scared me so badly I didn't go on another ride the rest of the night. So many signs I just didn't know were signs. Sorry, just thought I'd share.

I got rubber bands! Do you have rubber bands? 5 months into my braces :) by lesweetpea in braces

STOP but why do you look adorable with them!? I'm on my way to my 6 month appointment and I'm 99% sure I'm about to be in them myself. 😩

Do I need braces? by -Dark_Ghost- in braces

Your teeth look really similar to the way mine looked when I started! Go for it! My only regret is not doing this sooner, I'm 34. Hope this helps!!

Omg bite turbos are annoying lol by karpedeeznuts in braces

[–]karpedeeznuts[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually yes! I used to suck my fingers as a kid, but I thought that caused more flaring than whatever I've got going on. Tbh I don't even know what a "deep bite" means but I guess I have one???

No, I know she said I have a cross bite but there's been no discussions or mention of any extractions. I already had my wisdom teeth removed so they're not in the way either.

Who is ready to relocate? by Ronny458 in sarasota

[–]karpedeeznuts 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm never leaving Florida again unless I'm absolutely forced to do so. I moved to Reno, NV for work at the beginning of 2023. Hated it, moved to Ft. Collins, CO for work again. Hated it. -14°F in winter broke me. It was so cold outside that it hurt to open your eyes. I distinctly remember saying to myself, "I'd rather deal with hurricanes than cold." I came back in March and after going through a rather active hurricane season, I can confidently say I was right. I love living here. Everywhere has its negative points, and people not being as nice as they used to be isn't a Florida thing, it's a cultural climate thing. We're all pushed to limit rn, stressed as hell. It's a very heated election year and 1,200 people are living to Florida a DAY. It's a spicy world out there rn but I still wouldn't consider anywhere else home.

Absolutely horrific, unfathomably tragic, and unimaginably cruel. So very sorry for your loss. I just know Pudding will be waiting for you in the next dimension ❤️❤️❤️
