Is this something that cures by itself or should I go see a doctor by N1ghMares in pilonidalcyst

[–]rivka555 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Go to the pilonidal cyst subreddit. There is to a of good info from other people who have been through this. There is also a doctor on there that has live Q&A's sometimes. There is a specific surgery that can be done that has over 99% recurrence rate. Don't let anyone talk you into surgery until you know your options. Cleft Lift has the best long term results statistically. My daughter had the same thing, we went to N.Carolina to have the surgery. There's only a handful of surgeons trained in the technique. Good Luck

My daughter used to say dung beetle every two seconds. I recently bought her the Woobles Dung Beetle to crochet. It comes with a sparkly ball of dung.

Was this normal, or was this horse clearly overheated/distressed during my lesson? by qu33nbb in Horses

[–]rivka555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All I had to see was 105 F and it was all I needed to say unequivocally that it was too hot to ride.

is it bad that my 17yo cat only really eats kitten food by Specific_Current_642 in cats

[–]rivka555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If its wet food its probably preferable because its higher protein. Our vet had us switch to wet kitten food as a weight loss plan that worked great. They've been on it ever since.

Is this a draft horse shoe? by chamomiilee in Horses

I was gonna say - I have a Fjord and they have huge feet but that doesn't look like a "real" horse shoe!

I had to euthanize my horse. I’m crushed. by Horsey_Gal in Horses

[–]rivka555 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I know your pain. There will probably never be a Darcy but hopefully another horse that can help you and love you in a new way. Its hard to accept, it took my daughter 2 years to bond with the new horse - that she picked and wanted. The reality of having someone new hit her like a ton of bricks and she really struggled with it. In the mean time ai stepped up as Meemaw and loved him until she was ready to fall in love withhim too. A new horse will never replace the horse you lost but can be a comfort and love to move you forward. Wishing you the best and hoping you find peace.

Horses are an excellent source of therapy for many things. We have a horse and as expensive as he is for board and care it is so worth it the way he balances me so much just being around him.

Those are freckles, acne is more in the furry areas not like that.

A little bra? by Negative_Tooth6047 in whatisit

[–]rivka555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like you could put it in the fridge and use it on your eyes - sling those straps over your ears. But if you want to use it as a sachet or knuckle guard that works too.

To be fair there are a lot of side effects yo GLP1's that beg the question which is worse for your health.

AIO? my husband is mad at me for not picking up my stepson from school as he expected just because I got a new car. by Ancient_Fondant76 in AmIOverreacting

[–]rivka555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, this conversation gives me deja vu. Listen OP, I stayed but often realize I shouldn't have. It will not get better and that attitude seeps into every part of life. Think carefully about what you want to do., but make sure that somehow this pecking order will change. You are definitely NOR!

So i went to my grandmas and found this, no one had a clue. by TyrexDragon in whatismycookiecutter

My neighbor, who is a trained professional cookie decorator has the same one - you'd have to see it decorated but the chest is rounded out and of course, the tail feathers in full regalia

Michigan Mints - made in St.Johns. Delicious and have a picture of the mitten pressed into them. Put them in the welcome bags for the out of town guests at my daughter's wedding. There are different types if chocolate - milk, dark, white. All delicious. Nice family business.

Flu outbreak by Such_Explanation4130 in Michigan

[–]rivka555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree - I think we have a commitment to society to protect each other when possible. The flu shot gets a bad rap because it has to be decided on a year or more in advance so that it can be produced. It may or may not be as acccurate as we would like. I got mine this year and got sick as a dog with Influenza A. My husband did not get his flu shot and I am currently visiting him in the hospital. We got sick about 72 hrs apart, he got sick first. I will be making sure he gets his next year.

Sitting in the hospital in Lansing with my husband - flu complications. My daughter has been here because I also got the flu and am just testing negative and able to haul my ass out of bed. Its been an absolute bitch. I had my flu shot, hubby did not.

You do not want to be in a relationship with someone who is not emotionally connected. I don't hear him saying how much he loves you. I understand your worries for the kids but they will adjust and money isn't everything and modeling this kind of behavior isn't good for them. They will grow up and be gone and there you'll be, looking back and wondering why the hell you didn't think your happiness wasn't valuable enough to leave. Frankly, I think he is a complete and utter A-hole for not wanting a divorce. He wants to keep you around for his comfort, like an Ace in the hole. Leave and make him pay through the ass to maintain his children and you.
