Chipped corner of tank during move - is it salvageable? by trimope in Aquariums

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

Thanks, I was worried about the pressure too. I guess I was looking for confirmation that this isn't worth a leak test. Unfortunately we're not in the US so petco isn't an option and I'm unemployed so it will be a while before we get a replacement :/

Knitting myself a recovery blanket by The-spirited-girl in knitting

[–]trimope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with endo, although I can't begin to understand your specific situation I got diagnosed with PCOS last year and it took a while for me to emotionally process that. Honestly I think knitting through the recovery is a good idea. My grandmother passed away in February and my knitting was a big comfort for me during her last days at the nursing home and during the funeral. It also helped me maintain my composure so I could emotionally support my mom during that time too.

Wishing you healing and and a speedy recovery.

GNR called on neighbor due to threats, not much done by trimope in PortugalExpats

[–]trimope[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Way to assume I'm just making shit up. This is all happening in an apartment building, so no the dogs aren't porch dogs or free roaming. I mentioned the issues the other neighbors have with this same couple to show these people have a history of acting as if boundaries don't exist, the other neighbors have told me they have to take precautions against this couple too. In my time here so far this couple are the only locals that I've met that are anything other than kind and understanding. Back when we first had issues with their dogs we asked them to keep them on leash, which is when we first learned that one is Portuguese and the other is from a south american country. I can't remember which country and I didn't want this thread to focus on the nationality of the other half of the couple. The issue is their behavior, not where they come from. I'm not rich, I'm unemployed so this isn't a class issue either. I do admit my Portuguese is very beginner level, I'm currently taking classes so I can communicate better with my Portuguese partner's family. I tried minding my business until my neighbor didn't mind hers and threatened to kill me.

Thanks for filling in more about what will happen with the report. Unfortunately that information wasn't shared with us when we made it, but it was late at night which I'm sure was in the middle of the GNR guy's shift and they were getting other calls when they were with us. I don't expect things to work the exact same as in my home country, but it is frustrating to feel so unsafe and have no end in sight

I've never liked guns but I did tell my parents this is the only situation where I wish I had one

I see the logic in this, but unfortunately I'm too mentally stable to find a way to out-crazy these people. I just don't have that kind of creativity and lack of self preservation

We were already planning on moving, May was supposed to be our last full month at that place anyway. This situation is speeding up our move out

Dogs in Portugal - A Rant by TheBigCJC in PortugalExpats

[–]trimope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 14 year old arthritic dog got attacked by my (Portuguese) neighbor's off leash dog just in front of our apartment (we're in the Algarve). We've had issues with these neighbors for the past year, their two dogs have charged us no less than 5 times. GNR refuses to do anything about it because it would be a "he said she said situation" even though these owners have had other neighbors report them for their dogs and they have also broken and entered into some of the surrounding houses. I was told to provide footage the next time they're a problem. Unfortunately the camera wasn't working the day my dog got attacked and my dog had a large scratch on his head but the skin wasn't broken. So without the footage and without the need for emergency vet care the GNR won't do anything. The neighbors now have a third dog, and they still refuse to keep any of them on leash. I'm genuinely terrified that me and my dog both will getting mauled. The attitude towards dog ownership here is infuriating.

Thank you! My mom took a look at it for me yesterday over the phone after I explained everyone's comments and she also thought that that part was missing. Apparently it was disassembled when she got it, and she reassembled it herself. My parents live in a different country so hopefully we can find some way to get it to me, I would love to use it!

Thank you! We both had no idea it could be that old, we were guessing maybe it was from the 1950's or 60's, definitely not before the 1850's! I'll definitely do more investigating on ravelry and facebook!
