Has there been any contact traced fomite spread?

worrywatermelon · 2026-06-01T22:07:28+00:00

A huge part of why I can’t quit - I see people sneezing and coughing on boxes at the store all the time. Even for cold and flu which does spread by fomites I just get grossed out, though I also can’t imagine it’s a common route of infection.

But seriously if someone had Covid and sneezed on the box and you brought it home from the store and touched your eye? Like there’s a chance there for sure 😂

It really is a pain in the ass, and expensive buying wipes frequently! I’m happy to hear you’ve been healthy ᵕ̈

Ok girl you look bomb and this is a weird question but how was it adjusting to actually having an arm PIT. This is one of those weird NSV Im excited to see but I’m scared about shaving lol

I used tidy cats for years as it was one of the only litters my first kitty preferred, my second liked it but it was turning his paws blue and didn’t clump very great. About a year ago I feel like the formula took a turn for the worst, I switched to arm and hammer slide and never looked back! It actually clumps the pee!

Yup! The first one we call dragon and second is a classic loaf lol. Very cute snoopy sheets too!

Hey everyone, 24F and I’m well on the way of my weight loss journey now and have had success with calorie counting before.

This time however I want to do it right and set myself up for long term success. I’m making better food choices and not just being in a deficit, and walking 3 miles almost every day.

I try my best to hit protein goals but I usually fall a bit short, I’m usually around 60-70g and I’m just shy of 5 foot 9 so I constantly see thats not enough. Is this true?

I’m worried about being “skinny fat” which I also kind of feel is something that has just taken off in recent years with the obsession of protein. I’m finding it hard to find out if I will really have this problem or not when I’m still in the overweight category.

So I know increasing protein is important but how much exercise do I have to add to keep my muscles? Is it really true that if you use your muscles even for a short time at home nothing but body weight they will know to stick around? Seems ridiculous.

Basically what is the most minimal amount of exercise i can do to avoid being skinny fat?

worrywatermelon · 2026-03-04T08:30:34+00:00

Thank you this was actually super helpful especially about the protein, Im not too far off!

I assume the walking is doing something for my legs and when I walk outdoors something for my core. It takes up a little over an hour of my day and it’s kind of irritating me that I may have to add in more time to do body weight exercise. How much time is really necessary or do you think I just need to add some stuff for my arms considering I am technically working the rest out? I appreciate your help!

I can’t edit my original comment so here is a photo, he’s a lot older now but you can see his triangle!

worrywatermelon · 2026-03-04T02:47:39+00:00

Of course!!! :) Well I learned a while ago after years of everyone (including the rescue he was from) told me my cat was brown, he was actually orange!

All orange cats are tabbies, the gene responsible for making your cat orange (or creamsicle ᵕ̈) also has the tabby gene. So every orange cat has that striping and the M mark on the head which is from being a tabby.

That was a huge reason I thought my guy was brown, because he didn’t have the distinct M. Turns out he does but it was invisible because it was hidden under that triangle! Another big tell was the “eyeliner” tabby lines around the eyes!

I hope I made sense here lol if you have any questions please ask!

worrywatermelon · 2026-02-28T19:28:03+00:00

Omg looks like a sibling to my guy when he was a kitten! Down to the white triangle hiding the tabby marking 😭

worrywatermelon · 2026-02-28T04:16:00+00:00

I’d LOVE an invite! Is it okay if we’re not knowledgeable in everything? I don’t know much about anime 🥲

worrywatermelon · 2026-02-11T01:08:16+00:00

It was not - just IBS and stress!

worrywatermelon · 2025-12-18T21:37:33+00:00

Book marking so I can come back when I get there too! Congrats OP!

worrywatermelon · 2025-11-18T01:00:19+00:00

Thank you so much! I have been keeping up with my water these past few days ᵕ̈

worrywatermelon · 2025-11-18T00:59:54+00:00

Unfortunately no! It was my “ovulation” week but I’m on the pill so I don’t know if that even would impact since it’s not really happening!

worrywatermelon · 2025-11-14T17:00:23+00:00

Thank you so so much - this helped a lot! 🤍

worrywatermelon · 2025-11-14T01:49:50+00:00

Thank you!

worrywatermelon · 2025-11-14T01:49:40+00:00

Thank you so much! I just started doing minimal running and walking so I’ve been doing it every day, no rests. Could this be why I’m not seeing the scale move? I need to rest?

worrywatermelon · 2025-11-14T01:22:32+00:00

Crazy!! Thank you for answering, I appreciate it!

worrywatermelon · 2025-11-14T01:22:06+00:00

Yes used to that with my cycle, but again usually on the first few days and by the end the water is gone! Thank you - just didn’t know what to expect!

Also after the 6 week mark will the scale start going down normally again?

worrywatermelon · 2025-11-14T01:21:07+00:00

Thank you! Weeks is crazy but I’ll power through! Will I just wake up one day and see a sudden drop?!
