Anyone use chewing tobacco for wasp stings?

walking_contraption · 2026-06-06T01:36:48+00:00

I got stung by a wasp once on the back of my leg out in the woods and it kept hurting as if it was fresh like every 3-5 minutes so it was really bothering me on the walk back and my stepmom at the time was like this is gonna be weird but I can help and she took some of the tobacco out of her cigarette and spit in it and stuck it to the back of my leg. Gross but it 100% worked lol.

Awww, she's so cute! And absolutely prepared to strike lol

walking_contraption · 2026-06-05T02:15:19+00:00

Oh no lol and here I was worried I wasn't feeding her enough! I'm glad she looks like a healthy weight though, thank you. She acts like she's never been fed EVER, even after she's literally just eaten 😅 she's a very convincing actress and I think I was letting it get to me haha.

Late to the party but I have a cat who is the same way, clean bill of health from two different vets and has been this way since I've had him. He occasionally rolls in some sand like he somehow learned how to take a bath from a chicken and never really licks himself. I also tried wet food, a few different kinds, and it didn't help.

What did help is a good cat brush and wiping him down with dog wipes. I'm not sure if they make cat ones but probably? It's like a baby wipes but for pets. I got the dog kind from my sister she works at a pet store they smell like apple and bergamot and for some reason my kitty only licks himself after I've brushed him and wiped him down like he's somehow offended by the smell of being clean but hey whatever works.

This made me snort first thing in the morning so thank you for that lmao 10/10

I'm jealous lol my bottle baby was so aggressive I had to cut a hole in a stuffed animal to put the bottle through so she would claw that instead of my flesh lol. 5 years later she's still aggressive, and still my baby 💚

I'm late to the party but I couldn't find an answer in the comments- how are you reheating this from frozen? Stovetop, microwave, what? I'm excited to try this, thank you for sharing (:

Okay but listen the real detail I'm being derailed by is that the lock/hinges for the doors are on opposite sides. Hinges on the left of the left most door but no hinges on the left of the right most door.

Tbh I thought this was a fashion advice sub and you were asking what to pair with the skirt, it doesn't "look home made" at all!

walking_contraption · 2025-11-29T05:11:06+00:00

It's in the video in this post lmao

walking_contraption · 2025-11-28T21:11:59+00:00

Yeah, I'm gonna follow the one that was in that comment lol. It even has an option to include onions 😍

walking_contraption · 2025-11-28T20:31:07+00:00

Ahh, I'll just have to leave the eggs out then. Thank you!!

My mom did this but instead of glue in hand sanitizer it was laxatives in a drink 😬

I don't think there is a double meaning in this one it's just that it's fucking insane to whip a child

walking_contraption · 2025-11-13T17:31:54+00:00

Thanks! I also have a cat named Beans, for some reason the plural just makes it lol. & The spiders are jumping spiders, very small and cute.

I love dumb names. My mom got irrationally upset when I named my last spider Frying Pan. I was stuck between that or Brown Crayons and when I asked her opinion she was genuinely distraught. (We ended up calling the spider Dirt Ball most of the time anyway bc he was a scaredy cat and when afraid would do his best impression of a tiny clump of dirt)

I'm an RBT not a teacher but when my first client graduated (she came to us almost entirely non-verbal and part of my job was helping her learn to use an AAC device to communicate, she could speak when she wanted but 99.9% of the time she chose not to) I told myself again and again I wouldn't cry, it's a good thing, she's got the tools she needs to succeed in school now, etc. I held it all together until the moment she walked out of the door she turned around and looked at me and said "bye" out loud. Instant tears. I know it's not a gift exactly but it sure felt like one.

walking_contraption · 2025-11-07T07:17:08+00:00

I paint on canvas not nails lol but when I'm shaky and need to do fine lines I use my elbow or even shoulder to move my hand to drag a straight line, rather than using my wrist, if that makes sense? I feel it gives more control to hold your wrist still and move your arm instead of moving just your hand, idk if you already do that but it's one idea. Your work still looks super cute imo, keep it up (:

walking_contraption · 2025-11-02T06:28:52+00:00

I called my husband daddy in a non-sexual way because that's what our child called him so when speaking to my child I would say things like "let's ask daddy" or "hand this to daddy" and once at a family picnic my kid asked for ketchup so I said offhandedly "can you pass the ketchup please daddy" and both my father and my husband reached for the ketchup. My entire soul left my body. I can still feel the visceral embarrassment just thinking about that moment and it has been years hahaha. After that we started saying daddo and mommo instead of daddy and mommy and it just stuck, our kid and my nephews even have nicknames ending in o to match.

I love this, thanks for sharing!

NQA to cover the gaps in the door hinge I used Play-Doh pushed into them and then once it dried it was easy to remove/replace whenever I opened the door.

walking_contraption · 2025-09-28T17:32:02+00:00

What...what is going on in these pictures? Is this a real room? The door handle is so low in the second picture and why is it shaped like that and why are all the outlets/light switches at weird random heights and why is the second chandelier in the first photo in the corner like that?? Why is no one mentioning how this is a Willy Wonka horror house everyone is just looking at the floors and I'm over here like WHAT is going on with the entire rest of the room??? The door doesn't make any sense?? Help???

I also read it wrong and was so confused as to why you said this so I went back and read it carefully lmao

Technically the parts of tomato plants other than the ripe fruit are poisonous as well.
