Second photo includes the reference, as well as the original attempt at the pose with a pencil. Yes, she looks nothing like the reference. I don't enjoy drawing faces and it shows, that's also something I'd like to tackle eventually

Any advice is welcomed, be it watercolor or portrait related. Thanks in advance!

The eventful day of miss Amy

She's been through a very traumatic event this day, as her owners decided to inhumanly punish her by forcing her into the shower again. Please keep miss Amy in your thoughts and prayers, I do hope she can fully recover from this ordeal

Evergrowing neckbeard as a female

So for years i had 3 beard hairs on my chin. No issue, I'd occasionally pluck them out and i didn't have to think about them.

But now, there's more. So much more. Spotty beard hairs all over the underside of my chin. They're growing in numbers every day i swear and I don't know how to effectively stop it, or how to continue removing them effectively.

Shaving is not an option, they're too dark and would stand out unless fully removed. Waxing is not an option, because that area would hurt more than what I'm willing to tolerate.

Anyone having the same issue? What's the most effective way to tackle this?

Is this viewing space safe for my parrot, or will he try to kamikatze himself

Is this safe? He loves looking out of the window, I'm just not sure if when the blinds are up he won't try to just... fly into it full speed, even when I placed a ladder infront

Exhaust fumes left by a car we drove by today

The trail continued for around 100 meters after the car passed. God I hope he drove by the cops.

Been bradycardic for the last 3 days, can't breathe properly - other symptoms passed for now

I have tachycardia, but for the past 3 days I've been bradycardic. Nor severally, but I'm mostly around the 40s and 50s, as opposed to my usual 80s to 120s. I'm on betablockers (Concor 10mg), but I stopped taking them. Don't think I even took them the day this started.

I have felt like passing out the first day, been really tired the second, today only the struggle to take a deep breath remains.

I'm not overly concerned, as I have yet to drop below the 40s, but I'd like to breathe. Is there anything I can do to help? I don't think exercising to get my heart rate higher is a good idea when I can't breathe right, but I'm not sure if there's any other solution.

Thank you in advance for any answers.

Ypso med insurance Czech Republic

Hi, I just got my new ypso pump, however, I've never had a pump I needed to buy insurance for - for ypsomed, I've been told it's a requirement if I ever hope to receive a spare pump in case mine breaks.

I looked up the insurance plan my dealer told me off, but i couldn't find it. I looked through the site of the insurance firm they suggested, but it wasn't there.

Can someone, especially someone living in czekia, send me the link to this insurance?

I can't even buy it yet, the pump still isn't officially mine, but I'd like to at least know the cost as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance

How can I make my hair less voluminous?

Pic 1 is before I cut my hair, pic 2 is after the cut. The hair now has way too much volume on the bottom and I don't know how to fix it - I already tried thinning it out (the best one can with kitchen scissors), but it seems it didn't do much. Despite having more layers than I did before, the bottom seems to be much thicker.

I don't mind the volume anywhere else, it's just the ends that are pissing me off. Any advice?

I might actually be screwed

So I visited the beach with my mother today. Sure, my latest scars from the rare recent relapse would be fully visible in my swimsuit, but ey, I'll be careful, she won't notice.

And she didn't. We went swimming, I chilled on a beach for a bit, all is good, all is great. Later on i went to build a sandcastle. I finished it and while not the best, i was feeling pretty damn great about it.

Mom wanted to take a pic of it, but i was still putting in some final touches. I asked her to wait with the pic, but she said she wants me in the pic as well. My dumbass ofcourse got so preoccupied with the casstle I forgot my scars were in full view, but ey, like i said it's not that noticeable anymore.

She ten proceeded to send the pic to just about everyone. When i later on went through the pictures she took, the one she send was LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE WITH THE SCARS ON FULL VIEW.

The second someone zooms in I'm fucked so... wish me luck ig :') stay safe out there

Most of my scars are now healed so well I tend to forget they're there

Saw my leg from a different angle than usual and I was legit surprised to see my scars. Got so used to them just not being them anymore. Like I know they give my thigh a different texture, I just never noticed just how textured they actually are. I find it kinda fascinating.

Sorry about the hair lol
