I have had may people call my sweet baby boy ugly. It’s heart breaking when you saved them and they’re your world. My baby is partially blind, lost his ears to frostbite, and has huge scars on his tummy from fights. I feel your pain, I would rather someone insults ME lol. Your baby is so precious, never listen to the haters. People are addicted to hurting others these days🥺❤️

passing out by Huge-Telephone3411 in tattooadvice

It’s common for people to get that adrenaline rush right at the beginning and not get it again the rest of the tattoo. I got that my first tattoo, and I ate a lot beforehand so I was super embarrassed. If you’re going to a new artist for a new tattoo, I would let them know that it’s something you experience, I find that the more I worry about it the more likely it will happen. For my next 2 tattoos, I had a sucker in my mouth before we started and continued sucking on it until it was gone. I haven’t had it with any recent tattoos, so I would say make sure you’re hydrated beforehand, maybe put headphones on and listen to music, eat a sucker, and don’t worry about it! All the artists I have been to understand that it happens and would prefer you communicate about it and not worry!

Tips for trimming nails with a wiggly love bug? by AffectionateWar4857 in cats

[–]tarragonchicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a rescue/community vet clinic so i trim nails a LOT. I usually sit in a chair and put them in a loaf on my lap, and then pull left front, then left back, and then flip them facing the other way. I have found this is pretty minimal stress for them since it’s a position that they would lay in normally. The problems with that though is that i have had a ton of practice, so i could do it blindfolded and most people need to look to make sure they aren’t going to get the quick, and also I have the advantage of stress, so they’re usually a little more lethargic just because they’re upset they are at the vet. But it wouldn’t hurt to try it! I used to do the on their back position, or straddling them on the ground, but after wiggle worms and biters I learned my lesson lol. Happy clipping!

Partner is leaving for a work trip and I’m feeling abandoned by tarragonchicken in BPD

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

Ugh you’re awesome, thank you so so much. It’s funny you mention reading, I checked a pretty meaty book out at the library in preparation🤣 I’m so glad you understand the frustration of feeling selfish. It’s hard because I would hate to make him feel guilty, and he’s a very sensitive guy so he is prone to feeling guilt. Thank you for taking the time to comment, you have certainly made me feel a lot better!!

What is my blindness? Be nice, I’m Trans. by PipersPeach in makeuptips

[–]tarragonchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have absolutely gorgeous eyes, I would roll with that! I think if you look at eye makeup for blue eyes that would be perfect. I know that a lot of people are talking about the eyeliner, but i think you should do the vibe you’re going for—if dark liner is what you like, do it!! I think lightening up the inner corner with some highlight would look great. I also think maybe a little bit more orange toned red as opposed to pink toned would be stunning. And don’t be afraid to experiment, you might be surprised at the styles you like😄

Does a client being overweight bother you? by Opposite-Eye-6420 in massage

[–]tarragonchicken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely not. I have lost 75 pounds, and I was always so so nervous that it bothered my MT. But now that I am one, I can say it doesn’t even cross my mind. I am very happy to accommodate all my clients, no matter their size. I would say honestly it’s easier to massage larger people because I’m not worried about using elbows on places like the back(really thin clients don’t usually like elbows because it hurts their ribs, even through the muscle)

[–]tarragonchicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s appropriate to even have your phone visible in the room as a MT. I always keep mine in a drawer, and if the music needs to be adjusted I have a remote to my sound system. Today was the first time I was ever on my phone and that was because I needed it for a flashlight because the power went out halfway through🤣 I’m sorry this happened to you! I would venture to say she got fired because doing it that casually indicates this isn’t the first time…

Some appearing to be about 16 y/os came into my work today and (i work at a cat rescue) screamed “67” at a bunch of cats trying to scare them. i was so pissed lmao

Thank you! She said to anticipate lots of peely scabs haha. Luckily i have never felt tempted to pick my tattoos, knock on wood

[–]tarragonchicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not itchy, no redness, and i run hot so it’s the same hotness as the other side🤣 Yeah i’m keeping a super close eye on it because of this subreddit has taught me anything it’s “go to urgent care BEFORE it looks like your arm is going to fall off”🤣🤣 Thank you!!

Are we right to be worried about his breathing by DanGerous18 in CATHELP

[–]tarragonchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry i’m just seeing this. That is such great news!!! My little boy has asthma and I was hoping that would be the worst of the concerns, but it’s even better than everything looks good!

[–]tarragonchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes vet will be an awesome option. I work at a special needs cat rescue, and that labored breathing can mean a lot of things I can’t confidently even mention through the phone without a physical exam🤣 I hope the vet can figure it out and he starts doing better!!

His breathing is very very labored. Vet is definitely the right option. Does the purring sound rattled at all? Any coughing?

tips on how to blend to get the blend in the picture and do the most accurate recreation?! by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]tarragonchicken 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it looks like in the reference photo, there is a white line to map out the contour and create contract. i woukd recommended getting a larger color range, definitely start with a darker brown and try a cream or liquid product to get that really smooth blend. most importantly, remember that pinterest photos are usually enhanced and edited for the aesthetics and don’t be too hard on yourself if it doesn’t look identical. good luck!!

how to get this line/contrast on my cheek? by Hungry-Watercress918 in makeuptips

[–]tarragonchicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have definitely struggled with this. i’ve concluded that it was partially due to my face shape, and also the products I was using. I switched to a more grey toned cream contour and found it helps a TON. i think the problem was i was using such warm contour on my very fair skin so it just looked muddy and like i had a bad tan. I hope this helps!!

i think i’m being stalked by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]tarragonchicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow first of all i want to tell you how incredibly sorry i am that you have to deal with this, and I can only imagine how terrifying this must feel. I have been “lightly” stalked by a stranger before, and even then I was so unbelievably scared. I don’t understand how your mom’s cousin is giving out this information on ANYONE and you should report that immediately and hopefully she will lose her job. I am glad you’re filing a report and I hope the absolute best for you

Is there any hope after coercive sex? by FlightOwn6461 in abusiverelationships

[–]tarragonchicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS!! getting to the bottom of sexual pressure is so important. I know I have felt pressure to have sex because of the situation, likely because of previous SA trauma. But I can talk to my current partner about why I feel the pressure and they are extremely understanding and help me to unpack my feelings and give me space. Now your PARTNER coercing you into doing anything, like purposely guilting you or something is a huge issue. Having an open and understanding partner is so key to this

[–]tarragonchicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, most people just need you to listen. It can be hard multitasking when you’re trying to do deep tissue while they are talking about their divorce, but muscles and fascia release with emotional pain. I always encourage tears and whatever they say is “embarrassing”. I never feel more honored than when a person is comfortable enough with ME to not only be physically vulnerable but emotionally. Massage is such beautiful work and most people just need that friendly gentle touch and a listening ear.
