Hi all. I'm just really concerned and wondering what could have happened, and if this is cause to wonder if my dog was harmed.

I took her to the vet a few days ago and they had to sedate her and do an x-ray. When she had woken up, one of the vet techs called and said she thrashed around a lot and her mouth was bleeding.

When I picked her up, her mouth was fine, but one of her eyes was completely blood-red. The next day. The other eye started having some blood as well and it continued to spread. She hasn't shown any discomfort or pain in regards to her eyes, but I'm quite upset about it.

Now I know how my dog is at the vet—absolutely uncontrollable and hard to work with. I also know she's strong, and they most likely had difficulty with her on a leash/lead. But my question is—could she have been pulling too hard and caused this herself? Oxygen loss? Or is it possible they could have done something..

I'd like to believe it isn't the latter. And again. I do understand it's very possible she could have done it by pulling and thrashing. But is this something I should be wary of with this office going forward?

This didn't happen the previous time she had to be sedated for something (when I got her spayed).

Really wanting to avoid anything that uses AI if possible. And if it can be avoided, anything that ICE can use to track people.

Yeah hi. So ohhhh..... someone tried walking into my house through my side door around 12:40 AM.

I'm incredibly lucky that the deadbolt was locked on it and it prohibited whoever it was from fully entering. That, and the second my dog heard it, she darted up the stairs directly to the door and started scary-barking, and the individual promptly tried to slam the door shut—I'm quite sure she scared them away. I have no idea how they unlocked the bottom lock, but they did. And the door wasn't fully pulled in when I looked at it afterwards.

Cops came and looked around the house, alleyway, and street and didn't see anything. Supposedly they were going to stay driving around in the area for a while, but none of that makes me feel any better.

Naturally, my mind has been going off the rails with all kinds of fears, theories, and planning how to defend myself if it happens again. But the thought occurred to me: oh my god an eclipse happened.

So of course, my spiritual brain started going off and now I'm here. What do we think this means, friends?

(Edit: I should probably also note, I am on the second day of my menstrual cycle during the eclipse. So that's extra).

*TLDR: A stranger tried getting into my house and the timing with the eclipse has me freaked out. Help me with spiritual theories to keep me distracted from my anxiety?

One of these is apparently very obscure these days, and the other not so much.

But I'm really wanting to find more songs like Cum Captain and Consensual by Landon Tewers.

Same vibe, sound, whatever.

Obviously I know of songs like Closer by NIN.

But if anyone has any suggestions, I appreciate it!

I'm sure everyone's aware of the news coming out of Idaho. There's no denying it's one of the most hostile states to minorities, Leftists, and more.

I don't want to go too much into detail. I'm genuinely just curious to see what other comrades would suggest or do if they were stuck in a place like this, trying to organize with no prior context other than your knowledge of what this state is like.

What would you say to Idaho DSA chapters at this time? What would you do were you a member of an Idaho DSA chapter?

Hi all.

I've been taking Concerta for around 2 months now and recently went up to the next dosage.

Since it's been increased, my sleep is suffering even more than usual (and it's already bad enough).

Saw my PCP earlier today and he prescribed me a very low dose of Ativan (0.5 mg.) to take at night to help me sleep.

I guess i just need to know if there are concerns with that? Obviously, I know you can become dependent on benzo's. It's not my first time being prescribed a benzo, and I'm fully aware of the risks.

My question is, is there some kind of interaction I should be cautious of? Anything at all to be wary of?

Moreover, has this combo helped you to combat the worsening of sleeping issues for you on a stimulant?

Hi all.

As we have all heard, you can make sprays with things like peppermint, citrus, etc; to keep spiders away from specific areas.

My question is, if I were to make a spray with a specific, spider-repelling ingredient, what would be the safest for a dog?

I don't want to inadvertently make her sick, as she sleeps in my bed with me and around the bed is definitely where I would want to spray a lot.

Additionally, I'd like to know about measurements? I know you need to dilute some things and what not.

Thanks!

Hi all. I'm trying to find a photo of/info about an old cell phone I was given. I can't remember what year it came out or what brand it was, but I remember receiving it somewhere between 2008-2010.

It was a white flip phone with a purple keyboard. You didn't slide it open to see the keyboard, you actually opened the phone like an average flip phone. The only phone I can think of to compare it to is the old side kicks, but again, it wasn't sliding.

If ya'll have any ideas, please let me know!!
