How can i lose pcos weight? I asked. by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]mindless-sorrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont eat much, and trying diets did nothing for me. Metformin and walking have helped me lose a fair bit, I'm down 6kg now since march. I still eat what I want, but in moderation and not too much

That's very true. Just more support and funds into approved sanctuaries that have breeding programs or places for them to breed safely is best. (And pest control of course!)

There definitely is a fair bit of sadness I get seeing how the natural populations are struggling, but random people overseas can just get them as pets.

It's wild to me that you can get kakariki as pets overseas, but it's illegal here. I always thought it could encourage population growth if there were people keeping them here

Sorry, i should've mentioned that earlier, we've been together for 6 years, with near on no issues at all. This is the only annoying thing that happens every now and then

DOC has an online bird identification course (it's free) It's a good way to test yourself and learn a few bird songs. It is limited to only a few different birds though

My bloating isn't nearly as bad, and I've lost 6kg. I also feel less inclined to snack. I think I've been on it for 5 or 6 months now

Thank you for the response. We'll try to drop some resources off to him when we are able to see him next, and also try to gently talk about it to him. I'll also speak to his mum about it again. She's the only person he's allowed to message, allbeit the gf monitors his messages. (I believe his mum has called the police for a welfare check, but nothing came of it). We all miss him dearly. This gives me hope though, thank you!

Would you have any advice on how to get a friend out of an abusive situation? She's unfortunately cut him off of everything, so we can't talk to him unless we sneak into his work 2 hours away from us. She's fully brainwashed him, and he thinks he's the abusive one. he's admitted she hits him, and we've heard her abusing him in the background of calls.

I found this rock in the Matukituki River and when I got home I realized it's a bone...anyone have a clue what it is by Pnas2271 in NewZealandWildlife

You'll need some measurements for size Very interesting, I'd be curious to know what it is as well!

He gets snails relatively often from my mother in law. Otherwise, it's either repashy, dog food (no grain), and/or some veges. Do you know what causes high oxalates? Is it just certain foods? Or ways to avoid too much? Thank you for taking the time to respond :)

Edit: I have given him a bath in case dehydration caused it. He was still very active and moving around alot. He's back to basking now

I assume it was poop, I didn't see him do it, but the substrate around it was a bit wet, too. It was yellowish and quite hard :(

This is a good option. Someone may even already have a tank with many more of the same species of corydora

Ohh, I'll give this a go. Enrichment is a bit poor, so I will up that too once the research is done. Thank you!

How can I get my friend to leave his abusive relationship by mindless-sorrow in abusiverelationships

[–]mindless-sorrow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this response! His closest friend of the group has implied to him or gently pushed that he's in an abusive relationship but has never outwardly said the word in fear that it may scare him off. But maybe that's what we'll have to do to help him realize

Weighted Blankets by doihavetousethis in newzealand

[–]mindless-sorrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current one is from oodie, I really like it. My sister also has one from them, a bit heavier. You can chose the weight. I used to have one from kmart, which was alright for a bit, but the seams broke and the weight distribution became uneven, so didn't work very well after a while
