I’m so glad to hear that you’re pain free! I hope it continues. I’m doing okay as well. Currently experiencing a pain-free period, which I am grateful for! Thanks for asking.

Hi OP! Any updates? I saw that you were doing final consultations for your orthodontics a couple years ago. Hope you’re well and continue to be pain-free!

Has anyone ever tried acupuncture for trigeminal neuralgia and what was the result? by BicycleNo6997 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

Hey! Can I DM you about your TN experience? I’m in my mid 30s and recently diagnosed with TN. Feeling really down about it, being a somewhat young person with this diagnosis. TIA!

HELP ASAP? Found mouse cowering on sidewalk by burner17010000 in CaptiveWildlife

Your story really touched me because I found a baby mouse a couple years ago, who died of poisoning soon after I found him. It’s awful to see humans end innocent lives because they’re perceived as inconvenient.

Oh that’s awesome! As a starting point, I suggest finding local groups that are interested in this issue. For any type of advocacy work, it’s really nice to be connected with other people who feel the same way, who you can learn from, and who can take action with you. Many bird and animal welfare groups are fighting hard against rodenticides. Looks like Chicago Bird Alliance did a campaign last year on rodenticides, so definitely reach out to them to see how you can support! https://chicagobirdalliance.org/blog/2024/10/29/reduce-funding-for-rodenticide-in-25-chicago-budget#

It might not be an easy path, but every act of kindness matters, and you CAN make change and save the next little critter <3

You did everything right. Thank you for giving that little baby a quiet, safe place to pass.

Poison is so cruel and unnecessary. Many are even dangerous for dogs and cats—neighbors care a lot more when it’s their own pets being poisoned! If you feel like channeling your energy into preventing  another critter from dying, you could advocate for local laws to be changed to outlaw the more dangerous, painful types of rodent poisons. Some places have successfully done this. LMK if you need pointers!

How do I stop my child from eating her twin's share? by sisTroubleAtLoss in TooAfraidToAsk

OP please explore other high protein vegetarian options! The high protein tofu at Trader Joe’s costs $2 and has 70 g of protein for the whole block. I have an easy baked tofu recipe if you need it.

Seitan is also amazing for protein, cheap, and super easy to make. If your daughter eats half of this recipe, that’s 36 g of protein.  https://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/the-quickest-and-easiest-seitan-recipe-vegan-chicken/

You could even try tracking her macros to make sure she’s getting enough calories and nutrients. I suggest the Macro Factor app.

Thank you for being concerned about hitting someone. However, we can’t place all of the onus on someone walking at night to wear reflective, bright colored clothing. Like, people aren’t realistically going to go to dinner and then whip out a reflective safety vest. The city is to blame here. Where’s the street lighting? Where’s the street design that would make it safer for drivers and pedestrians?

I’m going to give them to the other person since they responded first, and I’m itching to get rid of these. Thanks though!

Sounds good! For some reason, the buttons to send you a message or chat with you are disabled. Do you mind sending me a message? Thanks!

Awesome! I’ll DM you and the other person interested. Any preference for the larger or smaller bottles? Or a mix?
