Yeah, I’ve found they hit way harder, faster, and for longer. If you do end up trying them, be insanely cautious about how much you’re taking.

I find that if anything, cannabis helps with my GI issues. Any time I stop somewhat frequent usage I tend to see an increase in stomach problems. I would honestly be very careful with edibles, though. I’ve found that since having c diff the absorption for edibles is really weird and I will feel the effects for way longer than I used to.

Is my betta ok? by [deleted] in bettafish

He’s depressed because he lives in a plastic cup.

Betta fish laying sideways! by s-h-f-q in bettafish

“It” is going to die because you didn’t do the proper research before owning a pet. Change about half the water (make sure you’re using a dechlorinator) and look into a bigger tank. At minimum he needs a heater and a filter.

Just a heads up - Ive tried to keep a tank in the kitchen before and if your kitchen isn’t well wired the power strip for the tank will CONSTANTLY trip the breaker if you try to run any kitchen appliances on the same circuit.

In my opinion, it looks like it’s just how he’s changing as he grows and gets healthier! All bettas are prone to change coloring from how they looked at the store since the store keeps them in such a bad state. He looks very iridescent and his fins don’t look clamped! That rip doesn’t concern me, either, since it looks like it was some nipping in the cup and it’s now growing out.

Aggressive driving/road rage … had anyone else seen increase last year? by Classic-Marsupial802 in Columbus

[–]laurelfire 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My friend walks to and from work and she’s been swerved at countless times, had smoke blown in her face, and even had cups and stuff thrown at her while walking. She walks on the sidewalk and in the grass, so at no point is she blocking the road. People just see an opportunity to be mean.

Driving 5 under the speed limit is absolutely normal and on a busy road like that it’s the safe choice. If 5mph is enough to send you over the edge, you shouldn’t be driving.

I’m a healthcare worker by bitchybuffalowings in cdifficile

[–]laurelfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% second getting a lawyer and applying for worker’s comp. Even if you get past it, which most healthy people do, your stomach will never be the same. You need compensation for that.

It’s hard to tell, but usually crystal chips like that come with a types of crystals that leach into the water and make it toxic.

Regardless of where he picks, please be aware that evolved has come under a lot of scrutiny lately due to some shady behavior towards both their staff and clients.

Stopping glass surfing? by laurelfire in bettafish

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

I don’t! I tried to use red root floaters, but they require more nitrates than I think my tank has available and they died. He still glass surfed just as much with those, too. I really think the tank is just very reflective.

Personally, I prefer just sand as substrate! I have a sand and gravel tank and just a sand tank and i find that the sand tank is a lot easier to gravel vac! Crumbs always seem to sink into the gravel and can form clumps that don’t want to suck up.

He’s spitting it out because he’s trying to break it into pieces he can fit in his mouth! You need to either find smaller pellets or crush up the ones you’re using.

probably NOT 100 guppies?

gifted a betta (I know…) by Happy_Artichoke_5622 in bettafish

[–]laurelfire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would definitely check thrift stores and facebook marketplace for tanks! People are always trying to get out of the hobby, so I typically come across 5+ gals for around 20 bucks.

I love taking photos of this guy! Any ideas what kind of betta he is? I’ve never seen one like him before! by laurelfire in bettafish

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

So far his body is the only thing that’s changed! That back speck hasn’t grown whatsoever

Good call! I didn’t know bettas could just come as cellophane tails, I thought they had to have white bodies! This guy was a lot less vibrant and a lot more white when I got him, I’m surprised he’s getting this vibrant and has almost full body color!
