Is there any chance these are actual diamonds and not CZ?

I've had this broken earring for about 6 years now. I found it on the ground after a huge fight at a carnival in St. Louis. It's clearly stamped 925, so I threw it in with some other broken silver stuff that I have. Do jewelers put little real diamonds in silver or would these be most likely fakes? (Old ass penny for scale.) TIA

Chili bears (and sometimes worms)

I really like a lot of the chili covered candies, so I decided to get some Tajin and make my own at home. I got the Classico (white top) kind first, and maybe I just used too much idk, but it was way too spicy or sour or something I can't quite explain. Replaced that with the Tajin Twist (purple top) and now I'm worried I may have discovered a new way to make crack! They are soooo good. I'll probably start stealing stuff to get gummy bear money before long...

Pibbles are NOT cheaper by the dozen

This is gonna be a longish read, just letting you know.

If you don't feel like reading all of it, the tldr is that I had a dog, then I found a stray dog, didn't know she was pregnant, now i have 10 dogs. Hmu if you want a puppy.

Sooo... Back in January, my wife and I found "MJ," aka Mamas. She looks to me like bluenose and maybe something else, but idk. Little moo deng 🥰 She was tied up in an old hoodie with some sort of elastic karate belt thing around her neck on the side of a major road where we live. It was cold and rainy, and she could barely walk the way she was tied up. I was scared she would get run over so we stopped and got her unwrapped and she was just in the roughest shape, so we took her home, and my boss took her to the vet the next day. They xrayed her and said that one side of her ribcage had basically been crushed and wouldnt support her shoulder, but it had happened in the past and healed, and wasn't life threatening. They scanned her for a chip and didn't find one, and we were worried that she had puppies somewhere because she was obviously overbred. They said that she hadnt given birth very recently, but they also didn't really check, I guess, to see if she was pregnant. Turns out, she was.

So about a month later, nature has its way, and welp (lol) guess what!?! She had 10 babies! 7 boys, 3 girls. Everything went pretty good until number 10 started to come out, and I guess he turned sideways or something. We got her to the vet pretty quick, and $1100 and a concoction that I suspect was tylenol and corn syrup, number 10 was stillborn. But there was another behind that poor guy, and he lived!! So 10 babies!

Mamas didn't produce enough milk to feed all these guys, so for about 4 weeks they were bottle fed. They've torn my spare bedroom to pieces, and I've spent a $1000 on formula and kibbles. The other day they escaped containment and chewed up a few pairs of shoes and a rug, couple phone chargers, some carpet. Plus I've got the 2 grown dogs, 50 and 70 lbs respectively. The pups are now between 17 and 22 lbs, and on track to weigh between 75 and 100 full grown. (Insert blinking kid meme)

Luckily, the local zoning code says 5 dogs max per residence, so the animal shelter here has been really helpful. Mamas has already been sterilized so she wont ever have to go through that mess again. All the pups get all their shots, rabies vaccine, sterilized and microchipped. Cost me $60 total. My vet wanted $200 just to spay Mamas. So all the girl have been spayed, vaccinated, and chipped. The boys are scheduled for their surgeries. And all of them can be adopted through the shelter here in Hobbs for free! So anybody in West Texas or SW New Mexico that wants a big sweet baby let me know. A coworker of mine took one of the pups and weve split the cost of a dna test, so in a few weeks we'll know what theyre mixed with.

I'm gonna try to post some pics but I'm on my phone and it gives me trouble sometimes. Ill put more in the comments.
