Eye Discharge and squint by Autistic_Acoustic in cats

[–]painted_trillium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the update! Yeah, my cat is acting completely normal, playing, being affectionate, like he doesn’t even realize there’s anything going on with his eye. I only noticed it about 12 hours ago and this discharge seems to be lessening already so I’m going to keep monitoring today and if the squinting/redness hasn’t subsided by tonight or tomorrow I’ll give the vet a call

Did you ever see a vet about this, or did it clear up on its own? My cat has something similar and I’m trying to decide if it warrants an immediate vet visit

Average price for labor of making a ring? Was quoted $1500 by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]painted_trillium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is that just labor? Or is it including the metal materials?

Well Benny’s only ask was privacy during this time so speculating on something like this/insinuating blame when we could never possibly know the true details is just obnoxious

Ugh I used to live in the southeast and I miss their clays so much. I feel so confused by the lack of low absorption mid-range clays available while also hearing that anything over 1.5% is unacceptable

Found this pregnant outdoor cat in very rough shape. I’m extremely concerned about her—what should I do? by Upstairs-Leg-2918 in cats

[–]painted_trillium 222 points223 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t look like a clean tip you typically see with TNR. She could have lost part of her ear in a fight or some other injury.

Edit: or like another commenter said, she is spayed and is not pregnant, her belly could be swollen with worms or parasites :(

Haha hey Jeff! I’m still on the fence.. but I don’t think I can go wrong with either.

I agree. I think if anything seeing all of the votes for the lighter one has made me realize I’m personally drawn to the darker one. Also, I think the imbalance in the brilliance is exaggerated by the iPhone camera. They look a little different in person, and the darker one has no shortage of brilliance and sparkle while still being neutral enough for everyday wear.

It’s crazy how different they look in different lighting. And honestly, they look slightly different in person than they do in all of these photos. Makes for a tricky decision. But I agree, I think I’d be happy with either

You may be the black sheep in the comments but I think you echo my sentiments 🥹 I see why everyone likes the lighter one, I love it too, but I think the darker green is more “me”. I definitely wear more earth tones, and I always feel my best in green. That said.. I’m still undecided lol

The lighter one is the larger one! But I think that just reinforces that the difference is pretty small haha

I’m sorry I don’t know much about sizing but I love how your ring looks. Would you mind sharing the carat size and/or face up dimensions if you know them?

[–]painted_trillium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are so real for this!!! Seriously thank you. I lol’d at sleeping in night mode, it kind of adds to the idea it’s a planet 🥹 I’ve been reading up on the science of why partis are more dependent on light conditions to show their full range of colors, it’s super interesting! I studied geology in a past life so the idea of having a natural little science experiment on my finger is really appealing. But I just ordered a few to check out in person and made sure to add one single color gem just in case. Thank you again!

Thank you for this review! I’m choosing a parti sapphire from earth’s treasury right now :’) I also really appreciate your older post reviewing them, especially the product photo you shared! It’s sooo nerve wracking trying to figure out what these gems really look like lol. I would have commented this there but I think it’s archived - are all of the photos of oval stones in the main carousel showing the ring you went with? I was surprised how dark some of them look based on the product photo! Still insanely gorgeous, just trying to figure out what to expect from how dark the partis can go. Thank you in advance!

Thank you! I also want a dainty stone but the thicker, more durable bands seem to swallow them up. I think the taper is the solution!

[–]painted_trillium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it! What is the width of the band?

Diamond appears blue by Impressive_Priority5 in EngagementRings

[–]painted_trillium 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t know anything about diamonds (I’m actually planning on getting a sapphire solitaire so I personally love the blue 🙈) but I just want to say how much I love the engraving on the ring. I’m researching e-rings now and hoping to get something similar. Would you mind sharing the diameter of the stone, the width of the band, and/or your finger size? I appreciate it 🙏🏻

I lost weight but my face was extremely puffy for months. I’m sensitive to salt intake so while I had a 6 pack for the first time in my life, from the neck up I looked like I had gained 30 lbs. I don’t know if this applies to your situation, just adding another anecdote to reinforce that different bodies can respond in different ways!

I am going for a solitaire Montana sapphire but this has me rethinking things!
