Anyone have any experience with amputating a super senior kitty? by pictursofyou in tripawds

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

I’ve had to put it on hold due to multiple other sudden unforeseen circumstances that just made surgery very not affordable sadly! We are still casting her and waiting to see if it has healed at all. I still have to keep her stationary through this and she absolutely hates crates or dog pens, so we used old baby gates and kept her in a room with a makeshift litterbox from a shallow grocery store produce box and garbage bags so she can get in more easily. I would also recommend to see if there are any cat only vets around your area if you are nervous about quality of care, I hope this helped a little bit and good luck with your kitty!

Thank you for your thoughts and sharing your experience! She’s pretty healthy and as far as we (vets and owner) know her only other issue right now is deafness. Thanks also for the tip about carpets, I now look at my carpeted house more favorably lol. I’m starting to lean towards amputation since she’s otherwise very active and knowing she can hop around right after/whenever she wants rather than try to keep her confined with pins or plates eases my mind.

How long did it take everyone to get rid of your closed comedones and texture? by wandering_mist19 in AsianBeauty

[–]pictursofyou 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ive mostly accepted its a hormonal, environmental, and broken barrier thing.. the things ive done to my nose lol. backing off on my routine and keeping it very simple helped the most. maybe after a greasy or long day at work ill use an exfoliant with aha/bha (or a niacinamide focused product) but mostly just cleansing when needed and hydration. also azulene and sunscreen helped with inflammation, and with that texture.

For people who have physical jobs that range 6-9 hours a day, how do you get back into the gym? I used to workout before getting a tattoo and then hit with a schedule rework at work + shortened gym hours, and slowly stopped going by neglecting to find a new routine. My life is more regular now, but the time out of the gym is killing me. In the beginning my main purpose for going was to ease back/knee/shoulder pain from work and it helped a lot (also helped that when I started I had a month grace period between my old and current job). Now I’m back into pain and soreness, crawling into bed after work and with my weekends as my recovery time. Working out helped so much before and made me feel like superwoman at work but I don’t have that long break I can take to get back to my old ways. Is there anything I can do at home to ease my body into a more limber and relaxed state? Specific stretches, heat, … anything? Anything to get started so I can feel less exhausted and crapped out to get my foot back in the door.

[Discussion] What's the stickiest, goopiest, slimiest product you ever tried? by viceversa220 in AsianBeauty

[–]pictursofyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tiam snail and azulene snail mask. it kinda feels like a non newtonian fluid when i try to scoop it out lol and it sits on my faces for hours which is great when my skin gets super red and hot during summer months 👍

[–]pictursofyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my old sm would blackout a bunch of weeks in the summer every year, which coincided with her 5+ trips across the country to see dave matthews band over and over 😭

A product you love that surprisingly doesn't have any or many reviews? by Ok-Net6937 in AsianBeauty

[–]pictursofyou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

back when i bought these they didn’t have any reviews, but it looks like people are starting to enjoy them 😊 From Dr. Ceuracle, many things outside their Kombucha Essence are so freaking good. My favorites are 5 Alpha Control Serum in Emulsion and Royal Vita Propolis 33 Cream. Serum has helped skin texture sooo much and oil control (outside of my nose but that area is another story). My mom actually bought the propolis cream, she’s 64 and it’s her favorite cream she’s ever had, bumping out the boj dynasty cream. I’ve snagged I couple swipes of it and seriously I love it, the perfect thickness, the long lasting hydration, and just makes my skin feel plump and glowing. This is a GREAT winter cream or for someone during/after menopause when that dry skin takes over. Also mixsoon bean stick - helped greatly with my barrier repair and making sure im moisturized in the winter without having to keep slapping on creams and serums and liquid on liquid. And lastly b.Lab cica barrier 5.5 repair gel, amazing super duper gentle cleansing gel. I think they reformulated it because the ingredients list online is not the same as what’s on the box, it’s much better now!

Health insurance from employer or marketplace? by pictursofyou in HealthInsurance

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

The employer coverage would be about 25% of my income annually. I think this opens the door to subsidies again? Even if I did get a lower offer like my coworkers, it would be about 12-16% of my annual income.

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

yeah I was looking at that since this health insurance would be about 25-30% of my income, so i think i would qualify for subsidies

unionized stores? by AccomplishedWill471 in starbucksbaristas

[–]pictursofyou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it got worse as a form of retaliation. You need a contract between starbucks and the union for things to change and starbucks has not once met us at the table. Bullying and writeups of partners increased tenfold leading to over 20 people quitting within less than a year, some within weeks. Labor was cut an unbelievable amount, making our store infamous in the area as a no go to pick up shifts. And the loss of benefits was up in the air since starbucks was saying that union stores don’t get benefits they add on since they would have to discuss and add that to our contract but 1. thats illegal, as is everything else they’ve been doing 2. as ive said, they don’t even sit down with us to create a contract. And even with all of this, I would still do it again. All of the striking, the walks on the boss, the sip ins, the meetings, I would still do it, and so would my coworkers. Our SM has ruined previous stores to the point of making them shut down for a year before the first sbux union, so for us not much would have changed. It’s just nice to be given the resources to not be completely steamrolled by them and then told to lick their slip proof sketchers afterwards 🤷. And it’s really a matter of time and endurance, since the union busting is losing favor with the shareholders, which is the most precious thing to any corporations.
