larger tote bag?

hi guys!! another question 😅

i recently have picked the vera tote as my main bag style. i have the one with a front pocket and 6 inner pockets (which i love), i love the long straps, and i just love everything about the bag in general.

i’m taking a 20 hour flight in august and i’m looking for something similar that is also big enough to hold my laptop. is there a larger version of the vera tote? TIA!!

undisclosed smell ): how to fix?

pretty frustrated as usually i thrift all vera or get it from the outlets but this past week i bought my first 2 online secondhand items (one on ebay, one on depop). one had much worse fading than what was obvious on the listing and then the other one that appears to be in perfect condition actually has some odd smell that was not at all disclosed.

i’m not sure if it’s like mildew or smoke or dust or a mix (old smoker lady basement type thing), it’s not SUPER strong but i am quite sensitive to smells so it’s really all i notice. is there any way i can treat or am i best just returning?

success with restoring faded fabric?

hi!! i recently purchased a java blue purse for super cheap and knew it would be a little faded, just didn’t expect the front of it to be so noticeable. i’m fine just letting it be but i did want to know if any of you have successfully restored similar condition bags (ie fabric marker/embroidery/etc). thanks!!

tick but with only 6 visible legs??

devils tower, WY

apologies for not a great pic, flicked it off pretty quick as i obviously didn’t want it to bite. at very first glance i thought it was a tick, inat says it’s likely a tick, but it’s legs and body and head (so basically everything) is throwing me off so much.

i am a bit of a bug lover so i do know that ticks are arachnids and have 8 legs… so why does this dude look like he has 6???? to me its head and body just is not proportional to a tick. its head is so big!!!! i’ve had multiple ticks crawl on me over the years and they looked so insanely different. it’s legs are also not as segmented and bending like how i normally see ticks do. am i just stupid and don’t know what i’m talking about or is this really not a tick?

TIA!!

▲ 67 r/OCD

does anyone else need things to be “just right” or a specific number, but not because they think something bad will happen?

to start off, i was diagnosed with OCD in 2022 and i know that the following is OCD. my main OCD symptoms are usually tied to health related (especially with my cat), relationships, contamination, fires, and obsessive thoughts. most of my OCD symptoms are all mental related, not a lot of my symptoms are physical compulsions.

i do just feel doubtful sometimes as most of the time, people with OCD are described as obsessed with things being a specific way or a specific number because they think something bad will happen.

i have a few compulsions like that, but i also have some weird ones that i do even though i do not fear a bad thing happening. like for example, i have to sit at a specific seat in the kitchen. i have to have the symbol icon on the volume knob in my car pointing a specific way. my rings have to be on specific fingers. all volumes, AC settings, temperatures, anything where i am able to select a number needs to be on an even number. i don’t even like even numbers!!!

all of these i am really not able to explain why i feel this way. for the most part, with these specific compulsions/obsessions, i do not fear a bad thing to happen. the feeling i get is quite literally a ball of anxiety weighing me down because it just doesn’t feel right. i don’t know why i need them to be that way, but if they are not that way, i feel like i am about to explode until i fix it. it just straight up does not feel right. i cannot sit in my car and just stare at the AC being an odd number or the volume on the TV or the symbol pointing the wrong way but i seriously have no clue why. i do not know why it is so distressing and i honestly feel like an imposter for thinking it’s OCD since i don’t always feel like something bad is going to happen, i just feel deeply unsettled and uneasy.

does anyone else ever feel the same? just want to know if i’m not alone regarding all of this😊

cats third eyelid out on only one eye after unrelated vet appointment

hi all, i took my 2F kitty to the vet today at 1:30pm for a possible UTI and ear infection. they sent a urine sample to lab, swabbed her ears (they did confirm a yeast infection in ears), cleaned out her ears, gave her a shot she needed updated, and drew blood for a follow up CBC (she was somehow anemic in march). basically, literally nothing regarding her eyes.

i got in the car to take her home and noticed her third eyelid was showing a bit and almost took her back in but i figured it was just due to how stressed she was from the visit. this happens from time to time (when she was sick in march and then anytime she’s on gabapentin) but NEVER just in one eye. it also seems to be out farther than i’ve seen it before. got home 10 min later and it was still like that.

i called the vet around 3:30pm and sent an image, they said it didn’t look irritated so if it didn’t go down by 4 to give them a call back. 4 rolls around and it’s still like this. they said i can do a saline flush (i have not done this yet as i need to get saline) but basically they don’t know why it’s happening and to call back again in the morning if it’s not back to normal. it is 10pm and it has not changed at all.

i’m just really concerned she somehow got horner syndrome, possibly from the ear cleaning? that is literally the only possible thing i can think of. she curls into a little ball at the vet so i really couldn’t see her face well until i got in the car. she isn’t showing any discomfort with her eyes, no itching or rubbing or anything of the sort. her other eye is perfectly fine. she scratched her eye last summer and that behavior was completely different from right now. she is acting perfectly fine. will this go away? what the heck happened? i really get nervous with her, especially with eye stuff

tiny little tail?

i got a squirrel feeder yesterday, they all finally discovered it this morning so it has been very entertaining to watch. i did notice that one of the squirrels has a “bunny tail”. i did first think it was a baby due to it just being a tiny bit smaller in size overall but upon more research, it seems like the only possibility is injury or alopecia/mange.

is there any chance baby was just born like this? i also read that tails aid in warmth, drag when falling from high distances, and help them balance. will this guy be okay? we’re already so attached to this cutie😭

bathroom mold- how much would this cost to remove? how can we prevent it from spreading in the meantime?

so my family home was built in the 70s and the upstairs bathroom has zero ventilation. all 3 girls in the house use this bathroom, the downstairs one has a fan but only my dad showers down there. throughout the years, there have been tiny specks on the ceiling but NEVER this bad. i came back from uni this past year and i have a strong feeling that this mold is deeper than just the ceiling with how fast it has seemed to spread. it is only in this room and in the crawl space.

in the past, my parents have scraped off a bit and then used some of the “mold killer paint”. it is clearly beyond that point now. we use damp-rid packs hanging on the shower, keep the door and window open post-shower and keep the lights on as well. my mom is very embarrassed about it and wants it gone but my dad keeps saying he “has a plan” but it’s been years and nothing has happened. i think my mom is just worried that if she contacts someone to remove it, it will be too expensive and we won’t be able to get it done.

we have pets in the house as well and i don’t want them to get sick. i’m also worried if it gets worse, it will damage more than just the bathroom. sorry for the ramble but what can i do to help this stop spreading as much as possible until my parents are able to get it removed? TIA
