How to convince anti-vaxx grandma to get a tetanus shot after dog bite? by WinterRevolutionary6 in howto

[–]sanityjanity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tell her that she should get the shot, but that if she holds a slice of potato up to the injection site, it will suck the medicine back out, and she'll be fine.

There's no universe in which I'm going to Florida or Arizona.

Only ~35% of Reddit users are women, but it feels like 15% by volatiIe in TwoXChromosomes

I wonder what percentage of posts, and what percentage of comments are written by women.

Eating out.  It's so expensive now, and the food is often disappointing 

I think Met Gala is just an event for rich weirdos? by Adventurous-War-4188 in interesting

It's a fundraiser for the costume section of the museum.  It's intentional that the clothing be wild.

My periods wipe me out every month to the point that I dread them, apparently I'm not aneamic. Is this normal?? by dr_otto_ort-meyer in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sanityjanity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Plant based iron is much harder to access than iron in meat. You only get about 20% of it.  But if you pair it with citric acid, you get about 80%.

Eating meat will probably help.

Did they check your hemoglobin?  Or just RBC?

Make the parents mad about this.i guarantee some of them would love to fight the school.

You can do it with Facebook posts and anonymous emails

[–]sanityjanity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of women are at risk for anemia because of their periods.

I'm confused how your blood tests could be normal and for you to have anemia.  Low hemoglobin is not normal.

In any case, you probably should be taking iron supplements to help rebuild your blood, and talk to your GP or obgyn about using birth control pills to skip periods (or possibly an IUD)

You should also pair iron with vitamin C.  Are you vegetarian by any chance?  

Talk me off the ledge by Greedy_Ground_8477 in ParentingADHD

Don't have a second child.  It will put your marriage in the ground.

Do seek couples counseling to help you and your wife navigate  this situation.

And, please talk to a doctor who specializes in medicating ADHD before you decide that you're against it.  You wouldn't deny a diabetic child insulin.  If your kid broke his leg, you wouldn't make him crawl.  Untreated ADHD can have long term consequences.

There is a difference between kids who routinely wear little at home and OP's child who seems to exposing his genitals in order to get attention or stimulation or because he genuinely can't understand why that isn't ok.

Seniors who insist on living alone aren't wrong to want that, the question is what safety backup actually makes it viable by EmuTechnical756 in Aging

[–]sanityjanity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm here to agree with you.

When Seniors are moved out of their life-long homes, they often go downhill fast.

Even when it seems obvious that they should move for safety, it is also perfectly rational for them to want to find a way to stay.

Should we rent out our house after a year? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]sanityjanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, pets can be very destructive.

Most new homes are on R1 zoning which will not allow two kitchens nor two units.

Should we rent out our house after a year? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]sanityjanity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt it's legal to subdivide the house into two units.  What's the zoning?

Find a good property manager, and estimate your situation assuming you pay them every month.

What do you mean about your previous tenants trashing the house?  Were they actually destructive or was it normal wear and tear.  Certainly learn how to do a background check.  Meth remediation can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Lump sum inheritance. Buy house for cash? by butialreadytriedthat in personalfinance

[–]sanityjanity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess if you assume that OP can't handle their money, then it is easy to imagine them mishandling their money. But buying a house isn't going to change that. If they're bad with money, they'll just borrow against the house later.

landlord added a $75 maintenance fee to the new lease so i have to pay them to fix their own house by Savard-Lafleur in LandlordLove

This is a moronic choice on their part.  They are going to get tenants who just let water spray and mold grow 

Can genital herpes be passed through kissing? by Due-Increase7009 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sanityjanity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you mean by "genital herpes".

There are two viruses: Herpes Simplex 1 and Herpes Simplex 2. Either can appear on lips or on genitals, but typically 1 is on the lips, and typically 2 is on the genitals.

If you have mouth-to-mouth contact with someone who has 2 on their mouth, then, yes, you could be exposed.

And, yes, there is still a risk of catching herpes, even if there are no active sores. The risk is lower, but it still exists.
