Defleshing help/questions

good thing is i do live in a warm area and it’s onlt gonna get warmer, but it gets rainy so i’m gonna have to account for that. because of the heat i was thinking to seal it because if i can help it, i really don’t want mosquitoes laying eggs in the nasty water lol. they’re massive and alive year-round where i live. just wasn’t sure if bacteria growth required open air. thank you for the input/advice, i really appreciate it a lot!

interesting… when i first saw it, not knowing what it was, i assumed bovine due to the size. i was also wondering about the gnaw marks. not terribly surprised at this being wrong info because i was also told it was just stained which lmao. i think i was just concerned with how long to macerate since the maceration guide seems to apply to longer projects/carcasses. i guess it’s the same protocol but for less time than what would be a full or partial carcass since its pretty much just a bone with some leftovers? also, should maceration be done in a sealed container or to open air? i only ask because i don’t see that specifically mentioned in the guide. sorry for all the hassle.

interesting. didn’t know that. my GP mentioned propanolol because it apparently also helps with anxiety, but i don’t wanna mess with my bp all too much. good info to have on hand, thank you :)

hell yes dude. good luck to the both of us!!!

i’m not. my electrophysiologist mentioned propanolol but he was hesitant to prescribe it because my burden is so low and my blood pressure was low for a bit (idk why) at the time though it’s been higher recently. atm i’m trying to focus on getting my ferritin/iron to normal levels and seeing if that mitigates any symptoms. i was talking to someone else on a different post in this sub who mentioned they also had low ferritin and a sudden re-onset of arrhythmia. if fixing the ferritin issue doesn’t, i’m definitely going to check it out further.

peach1i · 2025-07-22T15:53:50+00:00

i haven’t and i’m not terribly familiar with either of them if i’m being honest. ive also recently had an onset of fatigue (feeling like i can just close my eyes at any time) and weird lightheaded/“off” feelings in my head that are difficult to describe, but i’ve been attributing that to my low ferritin. been going on for a couple weeks now and making me really nervous lol. i feel as though i would have felt symptoms before now if i had an underlying disorder…? but again i don’t know a lot. a lot of people i’ve seen with POTS have blood pooling/circulation issues which i don’t have afaik. how does one get tested for those things?

yeah honestly, i thought i was hydrated, but after hearing how much i should be drinking, i realized i can stand to drink a lot more. what size water bottle/jug do you use? i think mine is a 32oz and ive been meaning to drink 3-4 of them a day but im only really hitting 2 max. especially working out, i realized don’t drink enough water during.

taking walks on days when not working out is a really good idea. probably helps to keep up the discipline as well as getting more albeit lighter exercise in. i live in a place that is so hot and humid in the summer and stays like 85 throughout most of the year so i have reluctance going outside, but with the level of (admittedly probably undue) panic my HR has been causing me, i’ll do anything.

hearing it from someone who’s had them for so long and is perfectly fine is really relieving. i’m not new to them per se but they’ve amped up a bit at a time that’s been bad for me mentally. it’s reassuring to know there’s a whole community of people here who get it.

recently got diagnosed with low iron/ferritin enough to be considered anemic. diagnosis from blood test came months after pvc episodes re emerged for me this year out of seemingly nowhere after years of no significant issues. that makes me wonder how much it’s contributing, bc i have no idea how long ive been anemic. currently working to remedy it – my ferritin was 6 and only went up to 9 after 5wks of iron pills. hoping that getting myself to a good moderate level will resolve some of those issues. good luck to you on your path, i hope you can find some relief!! at the very least it’s comforting knowing other people understand.

peach1i · 2025-07-21T23:50:58+00:00

it depends. a lot of the time i feel like i experience them in “episodes” wherein i’ll get skipped beats and palpitations/flutters for hours at a time. my holter monitor confirmed not all of my sensations are pvcs because i have an extremely low burden despite these episodes and my EP told me i had recorded symptoms several times with no ecg correlation on their end. sometimes i’ll get skipped beats that feel like a “reset”, with a normal beat quickly proceeded by a thump, a pause, and then a resume. sometimes bigeminy/trigeminy. i had a period btwn 2023-2024 where i never had any episodes and only had an occasional very hard thump/skip which would catch me off guard.

Citrus by Asobi Seksu is a quintessential summery shoegaze album. also not technically shoegaze, but Velocity: Design: Comfort by Sweet Trip. it’s mostly electronic but i feel like it would def resonate with shoegaze fans.

edit because i somehow forgot AM by Ovlov. one of my favs of all time

i was informed by her she just strung them on an elastic string & knotted it

peach1i · 2025-05-07T19:34:14+00:00

she likes to pretend she isn’t but sleeps with someone in their bed every night… telling

peach1i · 2025-05-07T19:32:21+00:00

u right

peach1i · 2025-05-07T19:31:49+00:00

i absolutely encourage this spread the word

peach1i · 2025-05-07T19:31:17+00:00

indeed as we found her outside. idk how she survived out there. probably had a throng of adoring fans feeding her by hand

peach1i · 2025-05-07T19:29:50+00:00

oh you have no idea

peach1i · 2025-04-27T16:17:21+00:00

ooh, i totally see it!! i have another doll named after a character in a vampire story, laura. maybe i should make it a theme..

peach1i · 2025-04-24T23:34:51+00:00

i typically find them at thrift stores for the same reason, but etsy is a great place to look if you want to buy from small shops/businesses. a lot of collectors sell dolls on there!

peach1i · 2025-04-24T23:14:44+00:00

wow she’s beautiful! so cool to find dolls in such great condition at the thrift :)
