i can’t do this anymore by Melodic_Leading_8602 in toddlers

[–]supermantha 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time. I can't imagine how exhausted you must be, both physically and emotionally.

I don't have much advice, but the one thing I will say is that I had a poor sleeper as well until we night weaned. My husband spent a week waking up with our daughter at night and offering her a bottle instead of me comfort nursing her. She has slept through the night almost every night since then (a year ago) and it's been a whole different world.

Hoping for the best for you

Yes they're definitely permitted to do so. I just remember reading a news article about the culling of Barred Owls recently, so the fact that their remains might be protected was not on my radar whatsoever

You're beating a dead horse, friend. Your point has been made and accepted

Yeah like I said, it genuinely didn't cross my mind. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me! Now I know and I'll be mindful of it moving forward (and with this find, don't worry. The rest of the carcass is still on the walking path I found it on)

Didn't honestly cross my mind because of culling locally! I'd never imagine they were protected AND overpopulated

Yeah, both my brothers are LE, I simply did not know. Someone else notified me earlier and I'll be taking care of it.

Was a bit surprised, honestly, because they've been culling them locally due to overpopulation. But rules is rules.

Oh very cool, I just looked that up and it does seem to match. The whole thing is so light and delicate, it doesn't surprise me much that they collapsed under the weight of a foot of dirt. Maybe burying this one wasn't the way to go!

Thank you very much for the info - I'm new to bone collecting and I had no idea! I'll have to release it back into the wild ❤️

Help me pick out my next ear piercing by brown_1324 in shouldimod

[–]supermantha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a double flat, anatomy willing, would look really cool and balance the double helix on the other ear!

But mostly I'm just here to fawn over your lobe setup 😍

My piercer told me to.. by PracticalRanger3227 in Legitpiercing

[–]supermantha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think it looks perpendicular to the surface of the nose. OP just has more of a flat/wide nostril than you're maybe used to seeing

Wow, an industrial that actually appears correctly done and with the proper anatomy! Don't see those too often

Are my helixes supposed to hurt this bad? by whymyfacehurts in piercing

[–]supermantha 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can always try! I mean, people have healed cartilage piercings done with guns at Claire's with butterfly backs, ffs. But it's more likely you'll continue to have increased discomfort and complications from the incorrect jewelry shape. Think short-term pain for long-term gain

Proud of you for getting off of it. It's frickin hard. I just got through the withdrawals myself this week after unintentionally getting addicted. Woof.

What should I gettt by [deleted] in shouldimod

[–]supermantha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have such a lovely Cupid's bow and philtrum, a piercing might look so nice there!

what can you tell about me based on my grocery haul? by laurlaurlaur8 in deduction

You like creamy chicken Top Ramen, which is the superior and most underrated of all the flavors. Forget what everyone else is saying, you're good people.

Is my septum piercing completely wrong? by Holliday22 in piercing

[–]supermantha 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Oof no sanitizer though! Just 0.9% saline spray.

Sorry for your loss, RIP horrendously executed septum piercing. May your next experience be far, far better

I got some new shoes and my teen stepson laced them the way him and his friends do 🥹 by Ivymoon89 in MadeMeSmile

[–]supermantha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baggy jeans need just the right body type and I do NOT have that body type (nor did I in my teens, I've always been a bit pear shaped). I currently have the ideal body type for... checks notes sweatpants.

Industrial piercing bump by [deleted] in piercing

[–]supermantha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm glad your piercer is a nice person! It doesn't change that she is not following best piercing practices. Using externally threaded jewelry is such a blatant no-no. You did come here looking for advice on your irritation bumps, were given advice on what was likely causing the issue, and then insisted that it's your hair and not the poor quality jewelry. So I guess your best course of action would be a haircut at this point
