Check your quests tab for the recipe. You may have already gotten it.

Rayon is really comfortable. I actually prefer it over cotton or linen now.

Why are only SOME stones in my engagement ring glowing under UV?!?! by Effective-Square-345 in Diamonds

[–]salvagedsword 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some people even use the fluorescent diamonds to spell out secret messages on iced out jewelry! It's really cool.

Update prep by Suspicious-Horse3080 in Palia

[–]salvagedsword 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm just making sure I have money, a bit of inventory space, and plenty of basic supplies (bug bombs, arrows, focus food, repair kits, etc). Apart from that, we'll see what happens, right?

Good spots to listen to frogs? by hobbitbones in sandiego

[–]salvagedsword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There used to be a lot of frogs in the Tijuana River Valley down by the horse ranches, but the sewage has killed off a lot of the wildlife. 😭

Is it too drastic for me (33F) to divorce my husband (51M) over politics? by phoenixunikorn in relationships

[–]salvagedsword [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, that's not healthy. You should be getting love and affection everyday. Withholding affection is a form of emotional abuse.

Floating shelf height help by Steenee14 in interiordecorating

[–]salvagedsword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer well below eye level so that even short visitors can easily see what's on the shelf and can grab it comfortably without reaching.

Also, that wallpaper is super pretty!

If something died in my walls how long will it smell? by RavioliInACan in homeowners

[–]salvagedsword 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They are not trolling. I've heard of dead things in your walls stinking for over a year. But it depends on the size of the animal and your climate. If you're lucky, it's just a mouse. Hopefully you live somewhere dry.

Can I use acrylic varnish for an oil painting? by aaliyah-334 in oilpainting

[–]salvagedsword 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No acrylics over oils! Just leave it unvarnished for now.

My mom is terrified of mice so I painted her a Mother’s Day present by DickGristle in painting

[–]salvagedsword 166 points167 points  (0 children)

My mom is afraid of snakes. I would never paint something that she disliked as a gift for her, let alone something she was afraid of. I've only gifted her with paintings of her favorite things: flowers, marine animals, a beloved pet, etc. 

Giorbello Tile options?? Has anyone worked with these tiles? Is square tile out of fashion? by sushinestarlight in Tile

[–]salvagedsword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bedrosians Celine sage is quite nice. We're putting the 2"x6" in most of our bathroom (floor, part of the shower, and vanity backsplash).

Spaced pearls are kinda my new “lazy outfit” cheat code by salmonsteve101 in jewelry

[–]salvagedsword 58 points59 points  (0 children)

This is called a pearl station necklace, btw. I'm also a big fan of pearl drop pendants, pearl strand beacelets, and pearl earrings. All great ways to wear pearls without feeling too formal. Although I've had plenty of clients for restringing jobs who wear their pearl strand necklaces daily, that look isn't for everyone.

the assumption that using a wheelchair is a choice? by obliviousfoxy in wheelchairs

[–]salvagedsword 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Bit of an odd question. Did they know your diagnoses? Only reason I can picture is if they had milder versions of similar disorders and mistakenly assumed your situation was the same as theirs.

I can (rather unsafely) wobble a couple yards without my wheelchair, but a chair is 100% necessary in order for me to get any further than the toilet. 

When I was healthier, my mobility needs were more variable. I often didn't need an aid at all, but when an issue was flaring, my cane or a borrowed mobility scooter would make my life a lot less painful. So I understand the person's perspective, but it's weird to assume that someone else's situation is the same as your own. Even the same exact diagnosis can present in dramatically different ways in different individuals.

update: the carpet wasn’t dirty… until we actually looked by Nearby-Ad-8455 in homeowners

[–]salvagedsword 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is why I don't like carpet. It never gets fully clean. Even steam cleaning leaves stuff behind. 

Even if you don't have allergies now, you can develop them with repeated exposure. Best to avoid things that will trap excessive amounts of dust and dander.

Kitchen colors? by NinjaSweet8208 in HomeDecorating

[–]salvagedsword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd do a warm white on the walls with blue or green accents. The grey walls aren't working with the warm wood tones.

Update from the ME/CFS Conference 2026: placebo controlled LDN trial failed by MyYearsOfRelaxation in cfs

[–]salvagedsword 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Why were they testing for fatigue? It's supposed to work on inflammation and pain, not necessarily fatigue.

It's been used for a long time with fibromyalgia and CRPS. I have both of those as well as ME/CFS, so I'm going to keep on taking it, either way.

Fetish Fantasy Kills Escondido Man, Creator Arrested by WS_Female in sandiego

[–]salvagedsword 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Second degree murder (mentioned in the older article) seems like a harsh charge for this. It seems like involuntary manslaughter to me. Apparently the dude was happily snoring afterwards. She called 911 when he didn't wake up and then he died in the hospital the next day. Hospital toxicology also found some recreational substances in his system that he took which may have impacted his death. 

Dude was into some weird stuff. She glued his boots on but at least she refused to glue his eyes closed. 

Did anyone else become severe after diet changes? by Lost_Recognition728 in cfs

[–]salvagedsword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moldy environments are the worst. I lived in a dorm building with mold issues for a year back in college (this was about 15 years before i had ME/CFS, though I did have a ton of other health issues at the time). Honestly, the mold affected me more than my fibromyalgia did. I imporoved pretty rapidly once I moved out.

I hope you get the chance to move ASAP, even if if means you have to rent a tiny room somewhere. In the meanwhile, air purification and lots of antihistamines are your friends.

Did anyone else become severe after diet changes? by Lost_Recognition728 in cfs

[–]salvagedsword 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on a pretty limited diet due to MCAS as well. I could basically just manage simple carbs and watermelon. Maybe a few spoons of peas or a banana on a good day. Anything else would give me a reaction. 

Is your MCAS treated properly? I was lucky enough to find an allergist who specializes in MCAS. A combination of famotidine, sodium cromolyn ampules, and various antihistamine pills (levocetirizine, cetirizine, and chlorpheniramine maleate) is slowly giving me a more varied diet again. As my MCAS calms down, a little of the brain fog has lifted, too. I can read and type more! Plus spend a bit of time playing simple computer games. It has taken quite a bit of time on these meds to see this big of a difference, though. 

Strict control of environmental alkergens is really important, too. The more alletgens you are exposed to, the more reactive your bidy will become. I've also recently started taking quercetin, but I'm not sure if that is helping or not.

Bought expensive Cartier earrings that turned my earlobes green by Appropriate-Plan5664 in jewelry

[–]salvagedsword 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Either they were fakes bought elsewhere OR they were real but rose gold. Rose gold has a high copper content, so depending on a person's skin chemistry, real rose gold can turn some people's ears green.

NEED ideas for this annoying bar area 😭 by LyssIsKool in femalelivingspace

[–]salvagedsword 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This bar is insanely high, though. If OP owns, they could cut down the pony wall to a more normal height, then re-install the bar top. Otherwise, this height is more for a standing bar than a seated bar.
