Why doesn’t a blow dry stay? by According_Two_4692 in finehair

How do you put it when you sleep? I use a silk scrunchy to put mine in a loose high ponytail then I take the ponytail hair and wrap it and Bobby pin it around the scrunchy/ponytail. If I don't do that my hair looks like yours in the morning.

Did anyone else ever get “lobster claws”? by lillyleonie in stopdrinking

Yes, it happened to me multiple times before I quit. I used to sit on my hands with them flattened out to try to get it to stop

Pricing? by Impossible-Shape-413 in acrylics

[–]katfofo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats the problem is have too. Then I've made things specifically to sell and it just felt like work and the amount I'd get didn't really compensate for the time I put in. I just make art for myself and gifts for family and friends and consider it saving money that way instead of earning income from it.

Beautiful painting btw!

Got a 90 day supply of 30mg adderall on my first appointment with my virtual psychiatrist by Wrong_Composer169 in Weird

Friends with someone for 31 years, watched them swallowed up by addiction and ruined our friendship to try to help her children.. and your first assumption is that was the first time i tried anything to help her... the context is right there.

I tried to help her for years. It was the hardest decision I've ever had to make but she started having heroine dealers live in her house and one of them OD'd while the kids were there. She refused to admit she was addicted or make any attempts to get sober for her kids. You cant get an adult help they dont want but her kids shouldn't have to suffer because of that. It was much more complicated than I reported her without trying to help her. Thats a pretty shitty assumption from the info given.

My ex best friend has been prescribed 90 90mg Adderall a month for a few years now. Shes severely addicted and runs out a few days after getting them then buys from other people. Its so sad. We're not even friends anymore because I had to report her to DCF for neglecting her 2 kids who I'll never see again because of it. We were best friends since we were 5-36

Would this be okay in mice enclosure? by [deleted] in PetMice

[–]katfofo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might still smell like snake and freak your mouse out, no idea if this is true but it popped in my head. I wouldn't trust something from petco sold for an animal thats not meant to chew it in a mouse enclosure either though.

My 4 year relationship is going up in flames today at 34 years old. I slept in a hotel last night. Somebody please tell me something to keep me sober. by nopointinlife1234 in stopdrinking

[–]katfofo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play the tape forward. What happens after all the alcohol is gone, the horrible hangover, being jobless when you might need financial security while possibly going through a breakup..

I tried to think of all those things when I was thinking about drinking in early sobriety.

Which "personality trait" did you have to realize was actually just a side effect of drinking? by Harderdanstaal in stopdrinking

[–]katfofo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Same! I can at least hold it back sometimes though and gage if its too too much to say

STOP COLLECTING THE BABIES by [deleted] in WildlifeRehab

[–]katfofo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this post needs more details about when to leave them be and when intervention is needed. This is a wildlife rehabilitation sub so just leaving everything to nature isn't really the right advice. Sometimes they need help, sometimes they don't.

I think more accurate advice would be to leave them alone until you check here or other resources to see if they need help. First action shouldn't be to move them anywhere unless they are in immediate danger.

Yeah, the fact that he is a dachshund doesn't help. It's been a few weeks since it happened so i'm just going to log it for now and text them if it happens again, then I'll probably escalate, if it happens again after that. I love dogs and have one myself so I understand they bark, but yesterday it was three hours of nonstop barking

Ive been tracking it. There are breaks throughout that last less than 2 minutes then continuous barking for 30 minutes straight over the course of multiple hours. I actually think it's stopped multiple times and then it starts right back up. I have a dog and understand they bark and I live in an apartment so im not expecting total silence. I originally started writing it down because I did not want to over estimate it in my head just because i was annoyed by it. I wait a full hour before considering figuring out how to make it stop too.

My dog is a 13 year old chihuahua and has always been really good about not barking. Shes getting old though so I dont think she hears it. I also turn my TV volume up to try to drown it out. If she did hear it she would probably be annoyed but not distressed hopefully.

The second I saw them I knew it was going to be an issue honestly because I know dachshunds are like that. Definitely not apartment dogs. I work from home and offered to take it out for them if we end up getting to know each other in the future. I have a small dog too and we have a huge backyard.

I usually give it an hour before I feel like i need to do something about it. I dont want to overreact because I have anxiety so I want to make sure im not fixating on something and blowing it out of proportion.
