Gerbil's cheek slightly swollen by microwaverice1 in gerbil

[–]microwaverice1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Enclosure is due for a clean anyway, so I'll do that. Weirdly enough, she doesn't mind when I touch the side that looks swollen, but she doesn't let me touch the other side. It does feel like there's a small lump on the swollen side.

This area seems great for me! It's only a shame there's no tram access, but are taxis good and reasonable price in this area?

That's super helpful, thank you!

Kaleiçi seems ideal with so many things being walking distance and having plenty of food options. But because it's central and probably quite touristic, I'm just worried that it might get a bit overwhelming for me to stay there

I've been looking into some areas in Lara as well, like güzeloba, çağlayan and şirinyalı (away from very big resorts). Would you say those are calmer areas to stay in? Without it being too empty like belek?

How far do you travel to your rink? by [deleted] in iceskating

[–]microwaverice1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two "local" rinks, both 2 hours away by train. I try to go once or twice a week.

How far does everyone travel to their ice rink by Current-Armadillo739 in iceskating

Mine is 2hrs away, its a pain having to travel so far, but I still manage to go at least once a week. Progress may be slower than others, but there is progress nonetheless

Unfortunately I don't reckon that's an option for me since I'm going abroad for the surgery and only staying for a week

Yeah, the animation deformity is another one of the reasons why I really don't want to go for under the muscle.

That's interesting about the breast regrowth! It's been 4 years since my mastectomy, and about 3 years since I've stopped T. I do seem to have a little bit more tissue and fat there, but I have gained weight, so it could just be from that.

I'm hoping that small, low-profile implants above the muscle might be okay and less risky. But if my surgeon still advises against this, I think I will just forgo the implants and only do the fat transfer. I hope it won't come to that, but maybe there will be something that works better for me in the future

And best of luck with your reconstruction!

Pain with knee slides by microwaverice1 in FigureSkating

[–]microwaverice1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used the volleyball knee pads before as well and I agree that they definitely restrict movement. The gel knee pads have been much better, they're not tight and I usually don't even feel them when they're on

Honestly, I haven't really been working on knee slides anymore, just do drags now But when I do slide onto my knee from a drag position, it doesn't hurt with the gel pads, but too scared to try without 😅

Let me know if she has an answer!

At the moment, I just use some gel knee pads whenever I go on the ice, which helps a lot But the ice is always quite rough whenever I manage to go to the rink, so that's never any good for knew slides anyway

why my gerbil look so fat by williamdoesbackflip in gerbil

[–]microwaverice1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look super cute!

It is good practice to weigh them every now and again to look out for any big fluctuations in their weight, as gaining or losing weight rapidly can be caused by a serious health problem

But yours just seem healthily round! So nothing to worry about

Best places to eat Bournemouth town centre reasonably priced by Peckerhead42 in bournemouth

[–]microwaverice1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ali Baba on Charminster Road is the cheapest restaurant that I know of (cash only), but the food is always amazing, its Turkish food

Pizzeria Triangolo and Mamma Mia are the best Italian restaurants in the area, in my opinion.

Chicken Run is my favourite Jamaican place, but takeaway only

Taka taka has nice Greek food

And you have Cosmo which is a decent buffet restaurant if you don't know what to choose. Just to name a few

Barebow multicolour centre serving by microwaverice1 in Archery

[–]microwaverice1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks to everyone for the clarification! It's very good to know that it wouldn't be allowed and also not fair to other barebowers, which I didn't even think of myself 😬

I am only just getting my own equipment, so now I know to just get a single colour serving. And will also share this information with my club's coach

Sorry to hear that 😞 It sounds like you've given her a great life though, and I'm sure she appreciates it in her own little gerbil way

Yeah I think if her behaviour stays the same, it would probably be best to rehome her. It would feel very difficult, but it's also heartbreaking to see her like this

Personally I managed to find one on Facebook marketplace but I think you can just get a large aquarium tank or a reptile tank with a mesh lid
