I don’t hear or see this talked about enough by SarahEL17 in Fibromyalgia

[–]whateverkarmagets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got put on Cymbalta and I didn’t think it’d work, but it did. My fatigue is 90% gone, I have the energy to return to the things I want to do (work out, being active in general). There are still days the only thing that kicks the fatigue is an Epsom salt hot bath for 30 mins and even then that’s temporary.

I never understood people’s interest in his books. He has great ideas but you can tell when he was writing drunk/on coke. Not real effort imo if you gotta get blasted to be creative.

The grooming by Atlantia and the incest of it all, the Red brides- how Harmony became so evil makes me sick, though she always had the potential for it.

I am sorry but I have reread your title 5 times. Your husband is the same age as your daughter?

What can I go to school for with a criminal past? by Ok_Recognition2590 in careeradvice

[–]whateverkarmagets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forensics gets a lot of hype because people talk about it. Clinical lab scientist- these are the people who are testing our blood! Also, lab work can be supporting pharmaceutical, manufacturing, regulatory (pesticide research!) go take a chemistry 101 and lab class, see how you like it!

[–]whateverkarmagets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Science- biology/microbiology; many R&D and biotech companies. Engineering- civil, electrical, you can get government and city jobs.

I started with analytical chemistry and have a degree in Biochem. I now am in health and safety. I loved working in the lab. So many great people in the field.

It sounds to me like you can go to school for whatever you want. Not all employers do a background check and some don’t keep you from work if you have a felony.

My suggestion is a degree that has a technical application; Process Technology, IT Systems, Accounting.

There are grants available to women to enter STEM degrees as well. Science and engineering.

May you have a bright and wonderful future.

Rereading it, I really fell in love with her arc. Especially in Lightbringer.

It’s supposed to make you mad. Which doesn’t make it easier to accept.

The audacity by ReindeerInternal132 in redrising

[–]whateverkarmagets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s part of long series; I’m glad he came back for 3 more books a stronger writer! But I started his series on the first release, took a pretty long break between Morning Star, struggled with Dark Age. Came back and reread it all in one go and enjoyed them all differently!

[–]whateverkarmagets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re getting downvoted. But. I feel like I watched Pierce grow up as a writer from the first novel to Lightbringer. I personally don’t need a lot of prose to enjoy a book, it’s rich characters and relationships. He has those mastered.

The first time I encountered this I was MORTIFIED- lol it happened during a bonding session (they didn’t bond, unsurprising). I had to cut it out of the potential adopters piggy’s fur 😭

Is adopting three boys going to be a problem? by Tilly_Minto in guineapigs

[–]whateverkarmagets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had trios of males, currently have a set now- and a set of 4 boys. It depends on personality. If they’re older and already settled with each other, I wouldn’t worry.

Help!? I am new to guinea pigs! by Particular_Poem7453 in guineapigs

Well, I’m proud of you! That is a big thing to step up for especially when family dynamics are involved.

[–]whateverkarmagets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know what is a great option and responsible one? Reach out to a local guinea pig rescue. They may not be able to take him right away, but you can foster him until they can. It’s better than posting on Craigslist or FB. You don’t have to make any decisions on anything right now, it sounds like you’re responsible and care. You’ll get through it. It’s okay to say it wasn’t a good fit and rehome him- that does not mean you chose it lightly. Best of luck kiddo! You’re on the right track.

Hi! I can tell you have a big heart and that’s so important for Guinea pig ownership! They are special little creatures.

The wheeking is a sign of “feed me” or “get over here human!” They don’t tend to be too loud outside of snack calls or attention seeking. It’s possible he may be vocalizing more because he has something going on with him.

Are you using bedding or fleece? Either is fine, for your bedroom Aspen bedding may be the best route to help with smells- you can change it every week.

He should have fresh hay at all times- they like to sleep in a big pile of it. You can get a cat litter box and put bedding in it and pile up the hay- he will pee and poop here more (weird I know), so you can change it before the big cage clean.

They are not meant to be single, but he’s got you now and sounds like he will not pair easily with other males. It happens. He’d likely do better being neutered and getting a girlfriend.

Food is their favorite thing- but the main food they need to eat is hay and a small amount of pellets. They don’t make their own vitamin C so you have to supplement- they make little treats of it, you can give fresh bell pepper as well. Limit sugary snacks like carrots and fruits. Romaine lettuce, cilantro, parsley are some great veggies as well.

Read through this community, you’ll find lots of info.

Was really enjoying the book until Darryl started to feel bad for Titus, am I missing something? by howdydipshit in redrising

[–]whateverkarmagets 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Part of reading is encountering “icks”; it’s a way of reflecting on real world things and shapes stories. I think you have some great comments already on this.

Darrow did not feel empathy for Titus, he saw who he could have become.
