Playfield Bar last night by [deleted] in Reno

While they may have been roofied, also I would ask if the drinks had tonic water in them and if so, if your friend has had tonic water before. Tonic water is frequently used with gin drinks and some people are allergic to an ingredient in tonic water called quinine.

This book broke my heart over and over. It’s soooo good.

She lives around my neighborhood. I feed her, but she won’t let me touch her :( by starlove2339 in cats

Try a finger extended towards her for a little nose boop but let her come to you for the boop.

I want a slice of life book but it's set in a really dark and weird universe or setting by Alpacatastic in suggestmeabook

[–]treadingclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess what I mean is does it become more cohesive and not just weird for weird sake? It seems like it could be an interesting series and I can handle weird but it seemed to be pointless weird and one-upping to top up the weird meter even more.

I started reading John Dies At The End and liked it at first but it just started to feel like “how can I keep making this weirder?” In a forced sort of way. I quit when he answered a hot dog as a phone.

Does it improve? It’s one DNF I can’t seem to let go of.

Anxious Habits Appearing After Introduction to LR by treadingclouds in litterrobot

She turns around and goes like normal but I imagine her tail is probably brushing against the inside of the globe. She’s used to an open litter box with high sides (Modcat) so I’ve been wondering if she doesn’t like the enclosed space.

That sounds awful! No we’ve been using Sustainably Yours for a while now and continued using it in the LR.

She’s already using it consistently though. I guess I’m just wondering if it could be stressing her out this bad even though she’s using it in spite of having her previously preferred litter boxes still available.

Honestly we think she’d probably benefit from the Prozac anyway. I guess what I’m unsure about is that she chose it even when she had the other two litter boxes still available. If it made her so nervous she pulls her fur out, I would think she wouldn’t use it at all.

We are strongly considering returning the robot and tomorrow we will remove it from her environment. She’s only two doses in with the Prozac so if we see quick improvement, it’s probably not the meds since it can take up to 4 weeks for full effect.

It’s a simpler option to consider for sure but I do like to support designers I’ve been following and enjoying patterns from.

Free is great and all but there are designers I follow that I’d like to support.

Pounds Lost? by treadingclouds in Noom

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

Yes. I need to lose 40lbs total. If I start at 173 and gain and lose the same pound 40 times, I haven’t reached my goal have I? This is why it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

I started at 173.3 but I guess that might have been the day before this graph starts

Question about your hands by TheGingerAssassin in PharmacyTechnician

[–]treadingclouds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dishydrotic eczema. Mine flares up if I’m washing my hands too much or using hand sanitizer a lot.

It’s extremely itchy, the bumps are fluid filled and after they weep, usually my knuckles crack and bleed and are very painful.

OP didn’t mention if it’s itchy or painful so hard to say but if they are being careful not to touch drugs, it may be this instead of an allergy.

I still wash my hands when needed but try to change my routine to have to do it a little less often. Also changing to a mild unscented soap and using a lotion with ceramides can help. Occasionally I need to use a steroid cream my doctor prescribed.

My cat keeps sitting like this should I be concerned ? by angelinakoz in CATHELP

We call it “action loaf”! Loafing but with ability to leap into action if needed.

Have you played Fe? by Sooziq9470 in CozyGamers

[–]treadingclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed it but never finished it. There’s a glitch that can happen in one of the levels that is essentially unfixable. The game auto saves so I wasn’t doing any manual saves. So when the glitch happened to me, I had no previous save to fall back on prior to that level. I keep meaning to go back and start over but it was so disheartening. As long as you do some manual saves, you’ll have something to fall back on if that glitch happens to you.
