She had no signs of anything. We played like we always do. I just don't understand why why this happened.

An inflamed tongue piercing.
Is My Tongue Piercing Infected?I've had my tongue piercing in for over 10 years, and recently I took it out due to an operation. After a month of it out, I've decided to put it back in. However once in, my tongue instantly swelled up and a massive hard lump formed around the hole. One big lump, from top of the piercing to the bottom of it, and due to the pain, I had to take it out again. It feels like scar tissue has been agitated and it hurts a lot. So not sure if it could be an abscess or just an irritation and it will go away, or I actually need to seek help? Shall I put it back in and see if it goes down or leave it out?

Just make sure they're snug but not cutting off circulation. When you walk, the rubber bands will give you extra traction on any surface. I personally keep some wide rubber bands around when ice forms on my driveway or sidewalk.

A cabinet containing spices and other cooking ingredients.
Organizing Your Spice CabinetMy spice cabinet was a mess! It had been ravaged during the holidays when we needed ingredients that aren't always used year round. Some baking supplies had been mixed in and some bulk spices were still in bags instead of bottles. I wish I had taken a before picture but the disorder started spilling out to the counter below because no one wanted to deal with it. I have a small galley style kitchen and I need all the counter space I can get.

Between the Instant Pot, the blender, the stand mixer and the newer air fryer, there is no room for chopping or assembling ingredients. So, my husband and I needed to rethink our storage ideas.

A woman hair with lighter roots.
Dyeing Hair Back To Natural Color?Nearly 3 months ago, I had blonde hair and got it dyed brunette. My natural hair is dirty/dark blonde and I went and got it dyed really light blonde, hoping for a good balayage but it turned out yellow and was not blended well. So 6 weeks later, I made the impulsive decision of dying my hair 3 shades darker than my natural colour to what is supposed to be light brown but is actually a dark brown. I hate it and the regrowth is so obvious and annoying because I have very white/light baby hairs around the sides of my face.

Identifying a Plush Toy? - perhaps a Hello Kitty stuffy
Identifying a Plush Toy?My grandma got me this plush from a thrift store, and I'm trying to figure out if it's vintage or worth anything! It looks almost just like Hello Kitty, but it's missing a bow, and most Hello kitty plushes I've seen usually have a yellow nose. I'm not selling it or anything, I just wanna find out whether it's a Hello Kitty plush, when it's from, etc. I'm mainly just curious!!

One Of My Female Finches Is Male?About a year ago, my LPS sold me two zebra finches. As you can tell by the title, they sold me two zebra finches claiming they were females. I believed them, because I have had a male Finch before. These two "girls" looked like girls. I just didn't want a breeding pair.

Removing a Spot on a Chanel Satin Purse? - whitish spot
Removing a Spot on a Chanel Satin Purse?I had an old spot on my Chanel satin bag. It looked like maybe lipstick or something oil based. I put on a little bit of cornstarch and blotted. Now I can't fully get the white from the cornstarch out and as you can see from the photo, the spot has lost its shine and doesn't blend fully. I tried blotting with a little water and Woolite on a microfiber cloth and then using a hairdryer on low.

A clothes basket with strings attached for pulling.
Drag Your Clothes BasketWhen you are not suppose to bend over and have to walk with a walker or a cane or just have back problems, you may need some help to get the basket of clothes from the dryer to the bed or folding table. I needed a way to get the job done so I tied some old shoe strings to the clothes basket handle and pulled it to the bed. It works great for me.

Helping A Dog With Parvo?I took my dog to the vet and they told me he had parvo. After I got back from the vet, he was back to not eating not drinking. Very lethargic throwing up almost every hour. Is there anything else I can do to help him improve? What can I give him for the nausea? I wanted to keep him at the vet but funds are tight. Also how long do you think this will last.
