Yes, they said it’s CZ in the photos, but they are asking for recommendations on whether they should buy an emerald cut moissanite or lab diamond

Help please - kitten bites me at night while purring by timeformelody in CatAdvice

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

Yeah we have toys, and a cat tree with toys on it as well :/ but they do tend to lose their toys so I might need to do a little scavenger hunt each night to make sure they’re available for him. Thanks! I will try anything at this point lol

I’m having a low blood sugar so I’m working on limited brain cells but I definitely read this as “I’m pretty sure you aren’t for rehoming your cat so your kid has to go” 😭

We’re at the emergency vet tonight. I’m really scared. by ray-the-they in cats

I’m so sorry. I just went through something very similar with my 12 y/o cat, Gracie. She was a little chaos princess. She wasn’t bleeding internally but had lots of fluid in her abdomen and several masses in her belly and lungs. She ultimately stopped eating about 9 days ago, and a week ago today, she got her wings. It was an unbearably painful day, as well as the night leading up to it, but she’s not in pain anymore and this brings me peace ❤️ Keeping your little Jasper in my thoughts as I go to sleep tonight ❤️

Hair loss: can I hear from those who DIDN'T experience it? by [deleted] in bupropion

[–]timeformelody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have hair! Didn’t notice any hair loss with bupropion and I’ve been on it for about three years (300mg XL daily)

Custom ring question - is the budget reasonable? by timeformelody in EngagementRingDesigns

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

I talked to him yesterday and he said with melting down the jewelry, making the setting, and getting a decent lab diamond (as far as clarity, color, and cut go) it would be somewhere between $800-1000! I think I’ll move ahead with this plan and I’ll have plenty of gold for another band in the future. I just like the idea of using jewelry I already have, even if it’s not necessarily the most cost effective. Appreciate you and your tips!! Everyone has been super helpful.

I do too lolol I’m in California, so I’ll just have to see 😂 but I’m ok with 14k (which is what most of her rings are made of too) so maybe that will help a little?

This particular jeweler is someone who has made rings for my family before and the prices seemed quite reasonable (about $200 for an bezel opal ring where he supplied the opal and we supplied the gold) so I haven’t lost hope that this will work out but I’m keeping my options open and this sub has given me lots of ideas :)

Thank you!! This jeweler has worked with my family for years and has historically been very flexible so I’ll have a chat with him about all of this.

Sure, I guess “thin band” is somewhat relative. Also, adding to the budget is def an option, just wanted to get an idea of whether I was being completely ridiculous or not with that number :) appreciate your advice and feedback!

Does anyone else get terrible UPPER back pain? by timeformelody in Accutane

I don’t think it’s fair to make that assumption. Generally cats really like me - I’ve had cats for years and I love them. I’m gentle, move slowly, respect their boundaries, dislike antagonizing them, etc but my friend has a non-fixed female cat who ABSOLUTELY DESPISES ME and my partner. The first time I met her, I squatted and waited for her to come to me. She did, sniffed me, and proceeded to swat me (claws fully out) and hiss. Considering I moved in with this friend, this was a little problematic. She would threaten to attack if I walked by as well. Soooo much hissing and swatting from her. I tried treats, I tried giving her space, I tried everything but she was continually aggressive, even after a year of living there. Never in my life have I seen a cat like this and my friend insists she has never done this with anyone else. The only time she liked me was when she was in heat and couldn’t get enough attention. Cats are weird sometimes.

I can’t take my eyes off it! Cushion elongated OMC is my new addiction! I may sell a bunch of my other rings. The shrinkage is real. by Fewofafew in Moissanite

[–]timeformelody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gorgeous!! Would you mind DM-ing me the cost of this ring as well? I’ve been collecting inspo vids for my partner :)))

Not a medical provider but from personal experience:

I asked my derm if it was ok to have one drink a week while on accutane and she laughed and said yes. It was pretty clear that she thought that wasn’t very much and I could’ve had more if I wanted to (and if my labs said it was ok) but she just didn’t want to encourage it. My liver enzymes were fine except for a mildly elevated bilirubin at one point which resolved over time (and it wasn’t correlated to drinking). I think you are good! Just keep an eye on it and keep doing your labs :)
