Guys I’m in desperate need of help. Joe @masterofbirds is in critical care with his heart failing due to a tumor on this adrenal gland. We were in the middle of a move and have to be out in the next couple of weeks. On top of it all my job cut me from the schedule as punishment for missing work. I desperately need help. Please consider donating and sharing.
Mom has been given the green to return to work on light duty to see if she can maintain the activity level necessary for her job. Which is wonderful.
Unfortunately her first day of work won’t be until the tenth of July. Two weeks from now. And the bank account is empty. Absolutely empty. We managed to scrape by for six months on Mom’s tax return but between bills, groceries, and the co-pay at the doctor offices that has been wiped out. Which is really, really, REALLY bad because we have some big bills coming up, the gas tank is edging close to empty, AND the air conditioner is broken.
We live in Florida.
I can not express to you all just how miserably, horribly, disgustingly hot it gets even inside the house. Even with all the windows open and fans galore it’s hellish.
If it was just business as usual then I’d suffer in silence and scrape pennies together to save up to fix the AC. But with Mom’s health the way it is, we seriously need to keep the temperature comfortable for her. Too hot or cold and Mom’s progress could be shot to oblivion.
So help me get a clarion call for help out there PLEASE.
Whether you donate to the GoFundMe, directly via Paypal, buy something from my Etsy shop, commission me for custom work, or commission me for a fic, or toss me a few bucks to draw you a ridiculous cartoon jellyfish on my computer, we desperately need the money. I will happily hit my knees and beg live on video if you want.
I’m trying to explain to my kid the idea that two years takes up more time in a kid’s life than an adult’s life because the adult has lived longer. I remember a post that has to do with cultures and counting on Tumblr and I can’t seem to find it? Can anyone help me?
hey y’all, as most of you know im in a really tight spot financially, going paycheck to paycheck just too keep bills paid, but im also on a time crunch to move out of my house with the looming threat of ever present homelessness. a lot of people have helped and supported me by signal boosting my youcaring fundraiser and my donations post, and im eternally grateful for that, but my bills have increased and at this point my paycheck isnt enough to keep me fed and medicated. only enough to keep most bills paid. so i have a favor to ask for those who have helped me so far and for this willing to help at all. if you’d like to contribute to my fundraiser to help me reach my goal overall to move out, please consider donating to or boosting my YouCaring, if you’d like to help me more immediately (food, meds, general health products, ect.,) and help me keep afloat until i can (hopefully) qualify and move in to the apartment before its rented out, please
consider donating to or boosting my PayPal Donate Button which is located on the upper left corner of my blog
I also have shops open with stuff like clothing, phones cases, stickers, art prints and all kinds of other item available with designs i made and drew on both my RedBubble and Society6, I also have my commissions open for any of you out there who like my art enough to have me draw something for you. or if you’d just like to support me in producing and posting art at a faster rate, I also have a Patreon open for extra support and to give me more time to create more art. if any of this appeals to you and you’d like to help out please consider contributing to any of these, or if you’d like to help out with a signal boost, I’d be super grateful. im in a really rough spot and things are only getting worse and im already doing all i can to manage these and keep up with work, so any help or support is greatly appreciated. thank you for your time
Alright you guys, ‘tis the season again and I’ve already seen bullshit float about so here we go: what to do and what not to do when you happen to have a tick attached to yours truly.
WHAT NOT TO DO:
DON’T cover the tick in anything. Vaseline, nailpolish, whatever. Doesn’t matter. It’ll all suffocate the tick, making it panic vomit germs into your blood stream. That’s the opposite of what you want.
DON’T burn the tick. Same problem, plus the additional option of giving yourself a burn wound in the process.
DON’T squeeze the body of the tick when you try to remove it. Again this empties the tick’s digestive system into your body. Bad.
DON’T wait for the tick to detach itself. The longer it stays on you, the higher the chances it’ll transmit anything to you. Plus when ti detaches it may again vomit germs into you.
WHAT TO ACTUALLY DO
STAY CALM. A tick hanging on you is not a reason to panick. You’re not going to keel over just like that, and if you’re unsure what to do, there are many resources on the internet on how to safely remove a tick, like this one from the CDC (aka the professionals)
USE APPROPRIATE TOOLS. These can be suitable tweezers (the pointy kind, not blunt tipped ones), tick removers (there are cheap ones out there, those you can buy at the vets are totally fine for use on humans, too!). Ideally you can remove the entire tick in one go, however if that doesn’t work and the mouth part breaks off in your skin, that’s not a terribly big deal and you can totally remove it separately after you got the body remove. Again, don’t panic.
KILL THE REMOVED TICK. But not by squeezing it. Flush it down the toilet, submerse it in alcohol in a container etc. Ideally if the tick has bitten you and not your dog, keep the tick around in a sealed container in case you start having symptoms and someone needs to identify the tick species. Also IF you start getting symptoms like the tell tale Lyme disease rash, HIT A DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY AND TELL THEM ABOUT YOUR TICK BITE. Do not wait this out, ticks can transmit a whole host of diseases beside Lyme, so be mindful of that, too!
Some of those diseases you can actually get vaccinated again, such as tick born encephalitis. Check with the local authorities if you live in a risk area, and if so, get the shots to protect yourself.
I’ve been telling everyone I know for YEARS not to buy Blue Buffalo.
This is the short story:
A few years ago I took my sick cat, Ankh, to the vet. The vet and vet tech asked what I fed her. I told them Blue Buffalo. They looked like I had just told them I fed her razor blades and cyanide. They diagnosed her with pancreatitis and said that nearly all of the cats they’d been seeing lately with pancreatitis were being fed Blue Buffalo. They gave her medicine and sent her home. Two days later she had a seizure and died right in my arms.
The day after she died Hannibal started displaying the same symptoms she had so I panicked hard and took him to the vet. Got the same meds and the same diagnosis. Luckily Hannibal survived.
I wish Ankh had survived. She was only ten and the best cat I’ve ever had. Literally the best and five years later I still cry when I think about her.
FUCK BLUE BUFFALO.
I don’t know the full story behind the tweets above, but a Google search shows there HAVE been several recalls regarding this brand, especially in 2016. I would absolutely avoid as it is not worth the risk.
Good god thank you so much for sharing this because I’ve lately been considering switching to this brand cus it’s supposed to be so much better than all the others but good god what the hell.
I just did some serious research on cat food because I got a new kitten, and I’m going to add a rec to this for cat owners going “I USE BLUE BUFFALO, SHIT.”
The food I picked for Atem is Triumph Chicken and Rice. It made multiple “best cat foods of 2016” lists, has nutritional quantity enough to be usable across the cat’s life without needing kitten/elderly cat food, has had no recalls that I could find, is grain-free, and multiple user reviews said their cats seemed to enjoy it a lot. (And he’s growing headlong on it.) I got mine from chewy.com, but it’s also on Amazon and I wouldn’t be surprised if Petco carries it.
If you need to switch off Blue Buffalo to protect your cat, look into Triumph. (They also make dog food! But I did not research that, because Atem is not a dog.)
Anyway, I’d like to not be homeless with an eviction on my record! Like most people. -.-
Once again circumstances out of my hand are managing to do me in. My paycheck fr last week’s work which I needed for my rent money was subjected to my distributor’s new direct deposit rule. And it has not shown up. My bank has no sign of it and my distributor is ignoring my texts and calls. I’m already a day late.
This is kind of a 24-48hr or bust kind of deal.
I’m already late for rent, already wracking up late fees and I’m in danger of being evicted because of this even though I am in constant communication with my landlord for the moment.
So this is a bit dire. If I can raise the money in the next day or two, I’ll be ok. If not, I may be screwed and homeless. Apartments in my afforable range in this city are very hard to find, especially if this puts an eviction on my record.
So I need help. And every dollar counts.So does every share!
I made a Youcaring for the exact amount I need. Or, my paypal is paypal.me/himteckerjam
I found this sketchbook in a restaurant and It may be impossible but I want to find the author.
The sketchbook was found in El Albaicín, Granada, Spain and I think the artist isn’t Spanish, maybe a Chinese tourist or someone who are learning Chinese but who knows u_u
In the drawings you can see some monuments of differents sites of Spain, that’s why I think she/he could be a tourist D:
I already tweeted it and a lot of people are sharing (all my love for you guys<3) but I want to try to find him/her here too
F.A.Q:
-
Did you ask the restaurant staff if they know it?: I’m the restaurant staff, I work there and we can’t remember who is the owner, sorry
- Did you use the reverse image search in Google?: Yes, I do and got nothing u_u
- Can you check the CCTV?: Em… no… We don’t have it in the terrace and my boss would never let me see them
-
What you could do is put a note at the door of the restaurant saying ‘have you lost…?’ : I’m the only one in the restautrant who cares about this and again my boss would never let me do that.
-
If they are a tourist and you just found it recently, they are probably still travelling and might not check their social media as often: Yes, I know, but maybe someone can
recognize his/her style or something
Please, just share and help me to find him/her ;_;
