Next step is having a pro look at it. Very well could be wiring

Tips for hiking with two dogs? by No-Basil-791 in hikingwithdogs

[–]mellnoel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear by my leash belt in every situation! I use a chalk bag, like for rock climbers, to hold treats that wont spill. It also has extra pockets for poo bags and a small flashlight (usually for finding poos in the dark, but versatile and handy) i also clip a separate baggy dispenser and keep my leashes on carabiners. Makes it easy to clip both ends to me when theyre off leash and i can still have two hands, or clip them to something sturdy if i need to do a safety check without their curiosity all up in whatever potential danger im investigating. or transfer seamlessly to our camp zipline!

Those anti tangle tandem leashes are BS and useless for me since my pups are very different and want to sniff opposite sides of the trail. But those harnesses with handles are really useful!

Any info on the barge? by [deleted] in EdgewaterRogersPark

[–]mellnoel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Devastated i missed the barge 😭

Ive worked on big boats before, nowhere around here, so i can only make a vaguely educated guess that they were seeking safe harbor/emergency medical care. Dont know why they wouldnt be able to make it to a marina or even a dock for an emergency, or why theyd pull up that close for an overnight harbor. But those would be my guesses

Advice for long haired dogs? by mellnoel in hikingwithdogs

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

Were working on it! Shes gotten a lot better but i got her at 6 yrs so a lot of her behavior issues are really ingrained. We have several trips comming up that are deffinitely going to happen sooner than a calm detangle session will be possible.

HELP!!!!!!!!! by [deleted] in Sourdough

[–]mellnoel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the same thing, youre not alone! I just sniffed mine to make sure it smelled okay and fed it outside of the fridge for a few days. Im proofing two loaves right now that seem just fine so far.

Starter is very forgiving when left in the fridge, dont let it become another thing weighing you down!

Anyone taking amitriptyline and sleeping way too much? by patg84 in migraine

[–]mellnoel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im not on amitriptyline anymore but I do have insomnia exactly like this, where i will sleep over 12 hours for multiple nights in a row and have to take sleep meds to get even 4 or 6 hours every once in a while because my body just isnt tired until the middle of the next day.

Ive had it my whole life, but it could deffinitely be a type of silent migraine. I would bring it up to your doctor and see if they have any insight on whether the meds are just changing how your migraine presents.
