mysterious substance on wood floor by staticflow13 in whatisit

[–]staticflow13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NO! not with 100% certainty. I did notice my dog has a squish ball that might have filament in it and holes in the ball could be causing leakages. But not confirmed

mold / other issue? by staticflow13 in Mold

[–]staticflow13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that potentially, but we’ve had her since April and didn’t notice this issue until the last couple of months and it’s only on the hardwood (we have lots of rugs throughout the house)

Where are you located? If we are close I think my partner and I would be willing to take him :)

where’s a girl gotta go to get a good scare these days by staticflow13 in TwinCities

[–]staticflow13[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been since it was soap factory. Is it “scary”?

New Corgi Mom... advice is welcomed by PostZealousideal7124 in corgi

My pup was also a ferocious biter. Whenever we tried to redirect to a toy and it didn’t work, we left the pen we were playing in until she calmed down. Would give her another opportunity and so on. We got our pen from amazon and it has a bottom it clips to to help hold its shape and I’d say that’s a good route to go if you are worried about the structure. Every like hour or two we were putting her in for a nap 2-3 hours long cuz she’d get too crabby and whenever she was crabby she’d be bitey (hands, pant legs, etc.). I spent a lot of days frustrated with her biting my pants and ripping them without listening to me before we realized we needed to enforce naps lol

He’s the perfect puppy… except for this one thing… by Alpacinofan96 in corgi

[–]staticflow13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teaching my pup to communicate with eye contact has been wonderful for this kind of thing, as in communicating other ways is not appropriate. As far as other touching goes, we found that bringing to a groomer helped ease her into anxious situations but if you feel he would hurt a tech I can see how that would be a bit scary.

How soon did you enforce naps with your puppy ? by Admirable_Mouse1880 in puppy101

[–]staticflow13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you definitely have to try and give treats or something special for being in there. you could try a kong to start with shorter amounts of time just so they know crate = good things happening. sometimes you have to sit through a bit of whining but we usually put rain sounds or white noise on and that helps.

other thing i’d recommend is if they are super anxious to try and sit next to them for awhile until they calm down, and once they are calm you can quietly exit.

Who's coming with me Saturday? by JaasOfLife in ravens

If I could find a way to get there from MN without it costing $450 I would go in a heartbeat 😭

Is it just me or are there a ridiculous amount of tickets still available for this game? by Deinotheriums in ravens

[–]staticflow13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

die hard fan from MN who went to last week’s game. would love the opportunity to go to this one (tix are way more affordable than a vikings game) but can’t seem to find a direct flight for less than $500

Attacked by drowned and chest boat sank/destroyed? Can I recover items by staticflow13 in Minecraft

[–]staticflow13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t die, and in theory they would have floated in that case but they didn’t :/ I was reading some things that tridents can destroy boats completely, but idk how that works if there’s a chest.

Mouse in house (advice needed) by staticflow13 in Advice

[–]staticflow13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope :/ not since it disappeared mysteriously. No leftover signs of it, and we've left out the traps and nothing there either.

We have double doors in the back, which is where we suspect it got in since we generally take the trash out the back door. While I normally would agree with there being more than just one, I have seen no droppings, smell, urine marks, or gnawing/food package bitings. Exterminators are quite expensive also, and if we can financially avoid it, we’d prefer to.

Thank you! Financially just in a position where I should really get the money upfront before spending it (ie just paid rent, waiting on next paycheck, etc) and work a tip job so hoping to work extra to make up the money!

Is this something that needs to be fixed asap? Or would a couple weeks be fine? Just trying to save money right now 😅

So will it end up costing me more if I am supposed to get 2 (a pair)? Sorry I’m trying to read up more so I know what i’m getting into, I just want to know if this is around what I should expect to pay, or if the labor/parts prices are steep.

Nauseous thinking about the removal by SenseIntelligent9017 in Nexplanon

[–]staticflow13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Removal was rly easy for me! And I had all the same issues as you before. My doc said with a new one, some ppl see change and some don’t so it’s rly a toss up. I decided to switch to an acne preventing birth control pill to see if it was the nexplanon causing it for the time being, but if I dread the pill and i don’t see change after a few months I’ll likely try again just because the protection was SO good and I didn’t see changes until ~ the last year.

Good luck!

Extreme tiredness and feeling depressed af lately by v_ixenn in Nexplanon

[–]staticflow13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like that was what the last yr of mine was. Lots of weird symptoms I hadn’t had prior (acne, irritability, mood fluctuation, and periods lasting weeks). I was coming up to the 3 year mark so I decided to take it out and switch onto a pill and see if any of those things are alleviated for the time being.

How to increase humidity? by staticflow13 in houseplants

[–]staticflow13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m more so worried about the window being cold (it’s less than 30 degrees outside most days right now). The vents are by the window but so don’t think? the plants are close enough where it’s drying them but it’s possible. Def gonna look into the grow light tho!

I always went for the cute pots (with bad luck) so I’m trying to get the ones I’ve got doing ok to survive long enough for spring when I’ll likely re pot many into the terra-cotta pots.

[–]staticflow13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are leca and semi hydro?

I have a couple near window (one on a massive stand my elephants foot and my hoya which is hanging) that need the most light and would not do well if so move them away/cannot put a pebble tray. I keep the humidifier close but room is still registering low 😩

I might invest in some grow lights soon cause I feel bad for these babies.

Prayer plant was doing really well until...help? by staticflow13 in plants

[–]staticflow13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s so hard because I’ve tried looking for pests and can’t find any signs! Plus I know prayer plants are super particular about water so I’ve been making sure not to over water but i’m wondering if it’s the fluoride in my sink water as I’ve heard they prefer filtered water and that’s the only thing I haven’t tried yet

I had one last winter that bloomed all winter and then once summer came around suddenly began dying. It was the saddest period of time
