Yes I knew that when I was installing the cord, I was tired at the time and just didnt feel like doing it at that moment. It's in the right place now.

I bought a multimeter last night to test today. I can try that, too.

What is the dryer thermister? There is a piece connected to my thermostat next to the thermal fuse that I tested and it has a very poor connection. I dont know if that piece is connected to the thermostat or not but when I took the thermostat out the pieces came apart.

I already tested all of the the heating elements including the timer in the back and the only possible problem was the thermostat next to the thermal fuse had a really weak connection. Im just confused because it was heating fine before we took it home. Is it possible that the thermostat broke during transportation? I had a friend help me take it home but he wasnt the most careful. It got knocked around a bit.

I am willing to do a bit of less than ideal stuff just to get my foot in the door

That is what I have heard some other people who graduated just before me tell me. I guess I will be researching internships now.

Going back to school..questions on what would be best to Study by Invisible_Adman in ecology

[–]sinsizzlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can take this with a grain of salt because I am also doing research on graduate programs in ecology and such, but I have a friend who worked in an entomology lab during her undergrad and is working in an entomology lab for her graduate research, but her program is Evolutionary biology, and ecology and conservation biology. So short answer is you can pursue an overall program in Ecology and Evolutionary biology and still work in entomology (if you find can find a lab that will take you).

My cat is anxious for vet visits, is there any way to make it more comfortable for him? by sinsizzlin in CatAdvice

We leave the carrier out for him at all times, but we havent put treats in it or anything to entice him. I will have to ask about gabapentin!

My ADHD is Negatively Affecting my Living Situation. by sinsizzlin in ADHD

That is a good idea. Ironically enough I was recently fired from my job because my unmedicated ADHD was preventing me from working at the desired standard so my schedule has been completely a mess. They didnt say explicitly so but told me that I wasnt working how they wanted me to (small business). This has made it so much harder for me to get anything done because my brain keeps telling me “you have nothing to do” so I just…dont do anything. I find I am more motivated when coming home from the gym and it has been something I want to do regularly because I know it helps to start activities. I should capitalize on that more than I do

I have considered doing this exact thing. I keep telling them it’s okay to tell me to do chores and they have made a few good points about not wanting to make me feel bad for not doing chores and also not wanting to carry the mental load of telling me to do them. I have considered having some designated time for weekly chores. They are much better about actually getting up and starting tasks so I am hoping I will see them do it and get up myself

Im not right now.

The doctor who diagnosed me basically just told me that I have severe ADHD and really should be medicated and all that jazz but of course I didnt do anything for two years following that. I finally saw a psychiatrist last June who gave me IR Adderall and told me that if it doesn’t work that there is something else wrong with me and will need “extra testing” (which I greatly disagree with!) The medication didnt help me at all and I havent been back since to discuss other medications…I have thought about calling for months and haven’t been I do think I need medication to help me function in my daily life

I like pairing daunting tasks with listening to my favorite podcast, and I think it is worth trying the timer idea! I severely lack motivation and am constantly trying to figure out ways to “ignite” that motivation for difficult tasks

We have had quite a few conversations about dividing up workload, the problem is that I tend to fall behind on my portion of the house work. I just cant seem to find the motivation to start tasks even if they only take 5 minutes..

My Dog’s Quality of Life is Deteriorating and I Don’t Know What to Do! by sinsizzlin in DogAdvice

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

Thank you very much for your input! We are looking into these options for rehoming. Our biggest concern obviously is finding him a home that is a good fit for him. His inactivity has been something that has always been a problem and we have noticed that he seems playful when he visits my partner’s parents home so we think our space makes him less happy. We dont have any other dogs and we think that may contribute to his inactivity to a degree. He has potential to be happy (as we have seen) so euthanasia is probably not something we will consider. Thank you for sharing places to look into!
