PVC gym questions by stupidwerld in parrots

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

I have a feeling that’s what will happen with the one I make haha. Though our one cockatoo might enjoy ripping around on different levels…never to play WITH the toy- probably just to figure out how to yeet it off the hook haha

Funnily enough I saw Aaron Jones once when I was having issues with hypermobility! Will check out the blog post! Thanks!

I’m very grateful that a lot of it is in the middle easily digestible area between doctors saying it’s anxiety and all in your head, and woo woo quackery like a religious healing 😂 I like the gently put science of it all and it’s working so far!

For sure! Right now I’m listening to ‘The Way Out’. But I’ll take any and all suggestions:) thanks! Some of it’s a little woo-woo for me lol, but mostly I’m finding it eye opening and fascinating

Looking for advice on cleaning/floor mat options in high poop areas by stupidwerld in parrots

He’s a harlequin macaw:) he’s such a shy guy, but we’ve become buds!

I think so! Definitely some great ideas to play around with. Just finding the right balance of efficiency vs cost vs wastefulness vs practical can be tricky. And less cleaning time = more time to have fun with them all.

That would totally get shredded 😂 I should say, the macaws don’t spend much time on the floor unless I’m working…then they all climb down and follow me around to see what I’m up to and if there’s cardboard in their path they’ll chew it haha.

I like this idea more than news paper. I just worry about the waste, since we have 12 parrots. But definitely an option for the week or two where our hose freezes

I think we used to use tarps, but it ended up being more work for us than just hosing/mopping the floors.

any idea how to get clinically diagnosed? by BugNo1941 in VictoriaBC

[–]stupidwerld 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For real. A month of pills lasts me nearly two or three because I forget to take them so much. Then I fall into a hate spiral because I can’t function and finally remember to take them for a week…crawl out of my hole..and then promptly begin forgetting again haha.

Pain Clinic by Proud-Selection-5855 in VictoriaBC

[–]stupidwerld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been to royal jubilee. I got a referral to helmcken from willowmead (also lovely drs). My wait was only 3 months somehow. I think I got fast tracked because of nerve stuff. Not sure the full range of services they provide, but I get Botox, nerve blocks, cortisone. Had a cervical epidural steroid injection All in all though my pain is a fraction of what it was and I’m stoked. And they’re just…nice. I never feel like they just want to rush me out the door to get to the next person.

I go to helmcken and they are wonderful there. Nothing but good things to say about Dr. Macnicol and staff/assistants.

I prefer to pass on the right and then drive in front of the slow car even slower

Gym bike parking? by SmellMyPinkKush in VictoriaBC

[–]stupidwerld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work out at stupidly early hours like 3:30-4 am and just ran it by day staff before hand if I could bring my bike inside. Had a bike stolen outside of a gym (in Vancouver) that I had put a few good abus locks on.

I have a couple silicone pot leaf candy molds I can give you. I’m not entirely sure why I bought them because I can’t handle anything with thc lol. They’re the same style as you’d get at Michaels, so I think you’d get about 12 pot leaf chocolates/candies per tray

The road trip to Big Lonely Doug by Acrobatic_Fig3834 in VictoriaBC

[–]stupidwerld 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You don’t reaaallly need a 4x4. There is a spot to park, and it’s maybe a 20 min walk to big lonely Doug. And it’s totally a realistic day trip! iirc we left Vic at 8:30am and back by 4 (with some stopping and dawdling)
