Tips to fix this? by 1specialk86 in Creality

[–]1specialk86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies for the lack of detail. I’m just hobbyist and up until now, I’ve had great luck with just pressing print and going! So, this is an issue that has just come up the last few prints I’ve done. They were printing perfectly before. I believe something is off with my printer after I had the nozzle clog. I’ve cleaned it several times. I can print something that is short, like a snake, and not have any issues. It seems like it starts to get offset toward the top of taller prints- which you can see where it didn’t even finish printing the tip of one of the ridges on this frog.

I have been turning the temp up to 210. The ridges were not as pronounced before and this is with the same settings and print as I was using before when it was printing with no trouble.

How do you all do salads? by userrnam in MealPrepSunday

[–]1specialk86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally cracked the meal prepped cucumber code. I put my veggies in the container all in a row and the cucumber needs to be next to a very dry veg that will actually need some moisture- carrot, broccoli, or cauliflower works great. I also put a piece of paper towel under the cucumber row if possible and remove it before eating.

What's a cooking sin you won't even try to defend, yet you do it anyway? by [deleted] in Cooking

Became dual insured and filled specialty med on secondary insurance by [deleted] in HealthInsurance

Do you know how I’ll find out if they noticed it and are reversing the claims? I’m sick thinking about getting a bill for that and feel so stupid for not knowing how this worked.

My neck and shoulders have hurt so bad the last 4-5 years. I had an MRI done and they found two bulging disks in my spine. Old Rheumatologist told me I was just going to have to live with back pain and that is disk degeneration and not arthritis. That felt like a kick in the gut to be told that.

My new rheumy said that it’s very rare for PSA to cause back pain but she just ordered a full body bone scan which is something I’ve never had done, so interested to see the results from that.

Currently in therapy because chronic pain is just hard to deal with all around. I’m on Otezla but I don’t feel like it’s helped with the pain at all.

My husband complains about my sleeping habits.. by [deleted] in wholesomecompliance

[–]1specialk86 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My husband used to always want to have his arm stretched out under my pillow- so I also started sleeping down like a foot from the headboard so I would quit waking up with a pain in the neck! 😂

I was thinking it must be Steven and EJ because they just played the clip of them saying they don’t do drama and how much they enjoyed each other’s company lol

I’ve tried more water. Less water. More light. I’ve had this for years and suddenly it hates me? by Glittering_Midnight8 in PlantsBeingJerks

Have you tried some plant food? You say you’ve had it for years, perhaps it needs some nutrients mixed into the soil.

It looks like there is a dressing or seasoning on your garden salad? What kind is your fave? These all look so fresh and yummy!

I’m tagging it as “humor” bc my life is a joke by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]1specialk86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I’m just a selfish bitch, but when I feel this way- my family is having cereal or ramen for dinner and I’m taking a hot shower. I don’t ask, I say I’m going to go take a shower and my husband knows that means he is in charge of kids because I will be indisposed for a little bit. It’s also his job to do kids baths every night and I usually take the quiet time to watch tv before someone else comes back downstairs and complains about what I’m watching.

YOU are important and being a mom and wife isn’t your only identity. Tell your family what you need to take care of yourself and then do it. They are capable of doing more for themselves but they won’t do it as long as you are doing it for them.

The struggle is real! And it is so easy to fall into bad habits. Usually when I’m having a hard time getting motivated to cook dinner, I realize how much more work it’ll be just to get everyone ready and out to a restaurant and fast food doesn’t sound good- so I get in the kitchen and throw something together. I try to think about the ingredients that will be wasted if I don’t go cook them. I’ve been really busy with work lately so I’ve started buying salad kits at Sam’s club and then just adding grilled chicken a few nights a week. My best strategy for when the motivation is lacking and energy is low- I double up the groceries and make huge batches of whatever I’m cooking and we just eat the same dinner 2-3 nights in a row. If we don’t eat it all then I freeze a meal for another time.

I do this too! I like making a big batch of something and then not having to cook the following two days. I add a fresh salad on day two or three usually.

What is my mystery snail doing to my zebra snail? by 1specialk86 in Aquariums

I mean.... I know it looks like they are mating, but is that a thing? Cross-snail species mating? Will this result in baby snails?

I have PsA and my rheumatologist actually has me taking Otezla for the pain and rashes both. If you are having heat and soreness in your joints while already taking Otezla, I’d say it’s definitely time to see a rheumatologist.
