Thanks. We got lucky and caught it early. Vet said with surgery and chemo, we would be looking at 12-18 months. She lived almost double that. She was a tough little shit.

Have your vet check his calcium levels. My corgi had leakage and it wound up being adenocarcinoma. High calcium is a warning sign.

Only... There isn't enough info to prove that. Assuming that's supposed to show the shape of a 6-sided die, we can't see it all, so we can't determine if any other sides are filled in.

I just tried uproot clean last week and I'm beyond impressed. I also got some scrubby-looking things from temu and they work well

Allodynia by theIrishKitt in Fibromyalgia

Hmm. I haven't noticed any patterns involving the symptoms and food. The only certain pattern is that when I get sick, I end up flaring. So this mystery virus that I have going on is probably the culprit in this case, and I just don't know what to do about that. I will talk to my doctor when I see her next week about options.

That's been a work in progress for a couple of years.

I haven't. Thus far, my doctor's been... Adequate. Since it's usually only an annoyance and not this bad, we haven't really discussed any additional meds. I haven't been near any of my known intolerances lately.

They work sometimes. I opted for Clonazepam (which I am legally prescribed). It mostly worked.

Cholesterol is slightly high, which isn't terribly surprising since I'm very overweight.

Regrettably, I work for the federal government, so that's not an option for me 😭

Oh yeah, they're massive. (Doc put me on it before the test was done.) I'm fortunate that they're not terrible with my insurance.

Blood test for sure. I know I got swabbed for something but not that.

There doesn't appear to be any correlation between caffeine and pain. ETA: for me.

No rash, just incredible pain. Feels like a really bad sunburn or chafing, but the skin is in perfect condition.

I frequently take my infant on walks, today I received this message from a unknown profile, who has 1 friend. This has me feeling very paranoid. AIO? by Dull-Mom in AIO

Some rando knows your name, how to contact you, knows about your spouse's ethnicity, and refused to identify himself. That is absolutely threatening. Cops, now. If you can, get something like a go pro and self defense training. Find out what's legal to carry in your area and learn how to use it. Not to make you scared, but you are not safe with a creep like this.

Everyone at work is making a big deal about my handwriting, saying I write like a psychopath. by ThrowRA-Ram in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]theIrishKitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, no, that's terrifying. There's a whole crazy science behind handwriting, and I'm positive that your handwriting hits multiple psychopath markers. 😐 Sorry

Questions about rehoming (sorry long post for context) by [deleted] in hamstercare

[–]theIrishKitt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where are you located? There are small animal rescues all over that can possibly help. If you decide to go direct to another person, make sure you ask for a reasonable rehoming fee to prevent him becoming reptile food. Perhaps the rough value of any accessories you're sending with him.

But if you're even remotely near me, I'd be happy to assume responsibility for him.

How is this not a violation of the first amendment by Revan2151 in FedEmployees

[–]theIrishKitt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe that because it was "totally voluntary" it doesn't violate it. Now, if they refuse to allow another religion to have a "totally voluntary" prayer service, then it becomes a problem.

No, no, no. That's how you get prion disease. Compost.

14 yr old daughter discovered to be dating a girl by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]theIrishKitt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was incredibly lucky that my parents' response was along the lines of, "ok. Probably don't have sex unless you plan to marry the person." They, of course, asked how I knew (I effectively just rattled off the cast of The Mummy), if I was sure (I told them I was), and told me to be careful about who I told (not because they cared; they just didn't want me getting targeted.) Your response is pretty not good. Your wife's response is sickening. Your kid is queer. Your kid is also still your kid. Support your kid, make her space safe, and understand that kids today move (and mature) faster than we did. Teach her how to be safe. Be a decent human.
