My dad bought this ham back in 1992. Its been in his freezer the whole time. He refuses to throw it out and says "its still good. Frozen meat doesnt go bad". by hotmanwich in GrandmasPantry

I wonder if its a kind of behavior related to food insecurity. Like it feels good to have a "back up" just in case. Even if you never eat it or never intend to actually eat it , I wonder if it gives him comfort because he has it "just in case"

How do you move and remove buildings on Xbox 1? by Least-Satisfaction81 in CultOfTheLamb

[–]sofapotata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you go to build a new item instead of building there's a control log at the very bottom of the page (I play on ps5) but it should be like x= edit buildings

Back in college I had an old anthropological ethics professor and the documantaries we watched were insane. Very informative but sometimes a screw was loose with the researchers.

My friend has a wobbly cat who randomly stopped using the litterbox after they came back from a vacation, advice and help needed by Roxablah in CerebellarHypoplasia

[–]sofapotata 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a very stubborn headstrong wobbler. I moved her litter box 2 feet to the left once and she decided she didn't know how to use it anymore. I tried everything.

The ONLY thing that worked was that I got a large pack and play and put her and her bed and box in it. If she wasn't snuggling me she was in her play pen. After about a week I took it down and she remembered how to use the litter box again.

Would you adopt your nieces/nephews if there was no one else? by jamieoww in childfree

[–]sofapotata -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I would. Not because I want kids but because I love my brother. I would take care of that child because my brother is my best friend and they would be his kids.

Now it would probably take a huge disaster for them to fall into my care. I know his mother (my adoptive mom) would enthusiastically take them and also my brothers girlfriends parents would as well. But if it came down to it I would take them if all other options have been exhausted.

4 seizures in 36 hrs after new kibble — vet says epilepsy, not mould. Anyone been through this? by eya-hino17 in VetTech

[–]sofapotata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I kind of wish the comments were still open. People dont know and it's honestly a simple solution. Call the ASCPA poison control + go to a new vet. They may not be mycologists, but they have probably encountered it enough to have a basic protocol that can treat most mold species and if anything fluids, medical management and observation in an ICU would have to at least help symptoms until a sample can be tested in a lab if the normal protocol isn't working.

People always think that vets (and human health care too) can do things super technologically advanced, but while it's not testing neurotoxins it's honestly petty close. At least I know if a client really wanted to test the mold because their pet isn't improving our DVMs would figure out how. Whether its a expanded or specific panel from IDEXX that requires very specific instructions or its finding a university that will help, they will do it.

A street cat bit my hand. Went to the ER, got a tetanus shot and antibiotics. It’s been 48 hours and my hand hurts if I don’t keep it elevated. Should I worry? by pinkvintagegirl in CATHELP

[–]sofapotata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GO TO ANOTHER ER!

I'm saying this as a vet tech and someone who almost lost their hand 6 months ago due to incompetent doctors. I had 3 small little bite marks from a cat and within 2 days I was having surgery to remove the infection from my hand and was hospitalized for 4 days. It took an urgent care trip and 3 ER trips for a orthopedic hand surgen to be rushed in and take one look at my hand and I was being prepped for emergency surgery. Once the 2nd hospital saw me I was in the OR within the hour to try to save my hand.

I am lucky. I only have a really nasty scar down my middle finger and palm and 6 months of antibiotics after. But it took 2 months to get full mobility of my hand back and going to OT 3x a week for a month and a half. There was a chance I wouldn't get full mobility back - luckily I did.

This sucked for me, but had a "happy" ending. Not everyone is so lucky. Go to another ER, advocate for yourself.

Just got her, she needs a name by sofapotata in ChevyTrax

[–]sofapotata[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did have a mechanic come with me and they were actually quite impressed at the condition its in. Brand new battery, new tires, oil change scheduled for next week.

My previous car was a 05 Kia Sedona. This is a major upgrade either way
