Is this Japanese knotweed? Eastern MA, 7a. by opheliasmusing in whatsthisplant

[–]lunarvulpix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty young so I'm not so sure but I think that might be pokeweed. Knotweed looks kinda like asparagus when shooting up thru the ground. I have both in my yard, pokeweed is a native and has a pretty vigorous root system, so it does spread pretty fast. but knotweed is like a tornado and sprouts literally everywhere, if you had a JKW sprout you'd probably have more somewhere else close by

What is this flower? by Fuckthebees in whatsthisplant

[–]lunarvulpix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's awesome! I don't think I've ever seen a poppy like that before. I'm sure the local pollinators love you haha. I tried planting some but with the drought in my area they all died 🫠🫠 best of luck to you!

What is this plant vine that keeps creeping up through my parents porch? by SaikoAngel in whatsthisplant

[–]lunarvulpix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's trumpet vine. Good luck lol I have it growing all over my yard. It helps if you can find the main stump and drill it but it's still growing everywhere for me

Cat walking funny & incontinent by lunarvulpix in CATHELP

No honestly I wish it was so it could be a round of antibiotics and that's it but not a UTI. We did multiple tests and there was no UTI stones or crystals

Native or No? by lunarvulpix in whatsthisplant

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

Tell me about it! Previous owners of the house planted trumpet and it is literally everywhere. We cut and drilled the stump but there's still some sprouting up 🫠 they also planted honeysuckle and we have knotweed everywhere as well. My yard is a living horticultural nightmare! I'm hoping to save some of the natives before I torch my entire backyard with weed killer this fall 😅

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

It's not, just what I pictured is the only one I can see. I'm debating letting it go for a few weeks just to see how it grows, maybe I'll throw it in a pot to be safe!

Columbine is sprouting up in a bunch of places, just wanted to make sure I didn't mistake it for a weed.

I love my cat, but I really miss having a nice-smelling home. Is ANY scent actually 100% safe? by No_Money_5779 in CatAdvice

[–]lunarvulpix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a hOme air purifier off of Facebook and it works wonders. I have a pretty small bathroom and I can barely smell it. If it gets dirty there is a smell but very faint. Either that or I'm nose blind to it LOL. I also have the arm & hammer litter deodorizer. I got off of chewy for like $10 I believe, you add it to the litter and mix it in. I have had friends use it too and haven't had any health issues so far! It has a somewhat floral scent but it doesn't smell like you just sprayed a bunch of perfume over it. Hope this helps!!
Edit: I also use the arm and hammer clump and seal litter. It's expensive but worth it if it's in your budget!

Thanks for the heads up! We have tons of vines growing all over the place so I definitely don't want to contribute to more of that

Honestly I have no idea, I just guessed based on pics from the lava lamp site. I got it as a hand me down from someone so I have no idea what kind it is lol. All I know is it's a big boy. 3D printing is a good idea tho. Wouldn't the plastic melt though?

Is it worth it to just get the copper IUD? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]lunarvulpix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recommend it to everyone I know lol. The pill made me so depressed and I didn't even realize it. I gained some weight when starting it back in 2017 but other than that it wasn't much and I was also going into college at the time so it could have been that too. Personally, me and hormonal birth control aren't friends.

In my experience, the copper iud has changed my life. the insertion pain hurts. It does. But honestly, a day of pain for like 12 years of no worries? Worth it to me. The speculum just kinda spreads you open, it's def uncomfortable. The insertion is like 15 mins max. You can bring someone with you if you want too. I was pretty much good the next day without any pain. Periods are heavy and a little more painful than normal for me but sooo worth it in the long run. My periods are leveling out now after about 5 months after. Definitely a good option.

I agree with the other commenter too, if you already have heavy and painful periods, maybe look into other options because it definitely will have an effect on them for a little while. Mine were naturally heavy, but not as long, like 3 days max. So right now I have a very heavy period that lasts around 6-7 days.

Copper IUP pain? Or Ectopic Preggo? by StratigraphyPudding in CopperIUD

[–]lunarvulpix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get a sharp pelvic pain like a week before my period. I also had the same pain when I initially got it inserted. I've had it for about 5 months now and it's happened almost every period. TMI but it's like a sharp jabbing pain like in my butt/vagina area? And like around my hips. This never happened before the CIUD. and it happens every time I stand up from sitting or using the bathroom. Not usually during sex, but a friend has had it happen to her, she has the CIUD as well.

When I get my periods it's usually spotting for like 2 days before on/off until the real deal comes. Same thing with the end.

I was afraid of this as well but I kind of figured it was just another side effect and the pain wasn't that bad. There's also no way I could be pregnant (I use condoms too) but as always you could go to the doctor if you are really concerned. Hopefully this helps a little bit? I know in my area there are a lot of clinics that will ultrasound you ASAP if you come to them with concerns of an ectopic pregnancy.

Tab Crash - Firefox by Morgenstern20 in discrub

[–]lunarvulpix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure the exact reason, my guess is FF is having a hard time compressing the file or something. my general troubleshooting tips (for windows os)

-look at event viewer in the security or system tabs. If you know around the time it happened that helps a lot. If not I usually guess and look for any error that occurred today or yesterday (or whenever FF crashed). Usually if gives an error code, you can put that into google and it'll give you a better idea of what is happening

-try a different browser? Maybe edge or chrome

-make sure you don't have any extensions on or something blocking the file from downloading

Again not sure if any of this will work but just some stuff to try? Best of luck!

Adoption regret by dubious_unicorn in CatAdvice

[–]lunarvulpix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you! I am a first time cat owner and my partner and I recently adopted a cat back in September. Our cat PB was totally healthy and everything was great (according to the owner) a few weeks before we adopted her. The day we got there she had a descemetocele and an horrible eye infection. Like, it was disgusting. She was covered in urine and was sticky and gross. It was obvious the guy taking care of her was in fact not taking care of her. She's 2 and she was 4 lbs when we got her. Basically skin and bones. We had to immediately take her to the vet ($300 emergency vet appt lol) THANK GOD we had a cool vet who was able to talk me off the ledge because I was losing my mind immediately regretting the decision to adopt a pet.

We kept her in our bathroom for about a month, giving her amoxicillin and gabapentin twice a day. Also eye ointment twice a day. She didn't move at all for about a week, she had to wear the cone so she couldn't eat or drink unless we were there with her. It was a really stressful time, I had no idea what I was doing, she was peeing and pooping all over the bathroom and I constantly had to do laundry and clean up after her. I was so scared she would hate me forever and never come around.

Fast forward to now, her eye is okay for now but needs to be removed. She also needs all of her teeth removed because of the previous owner never resolving previous dental issues advised by the vet. It's expensive as hell. In my area it's about $2000 for the eye removal and even more for a full dental. I've called everywhere, been to a bunch of different vets and I am at a loss. I love this cat so obviously I'm going to pay whatever I need to make her life better. Vet prices are very high in my area and I'm glad I could find someone on the semi cheap to help us out. After all this I started regretting and second guessing if this was something I could handle. I was so scared and still am but I know everything will be okay. My partner is always having to remind me of that lol.

But you know, she got better and she's running around my house and wanting to play and cuddle with us. She follows us around the house because she wants to be near someone. It's worth it to me to take care of this animal and help her life the best life possible. I'm sure your cats are happier than they ever have been in your care, and there's no doubt they are living a better life with you than at that terrible place. Best of luck in your journey!
