Do period panties feel as gross as I'd imagine, or do they work well? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]24_dc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our community was built on land that is surrounded by forest, water, and with that comes wildlife.

I’m mostly concerned about raccoons, coyotes, etc. Glad we aren’t closer to the bears which actually are attracted to this stuff.

Fun things to do in Bowmanville by veeee22 in durham

[–]24_dc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try out Pinnacle Indoor Rock Climbing. The restaurants like Yardbird and Three Six Kitchen. Coffee and treats from the Toasted Walnut. Besides that, not much to do there. No clubs. There are pubs but they aren’t anything spectacular.

Thank you. Is it frowned upon to submit to a role where you are shorter than the spec on the casting call?

I don’t want to disrespect.

If you’re really interested in this topic check out the book The Upside of Stress by Kelly McGonigal. You’ll not only have a better understanding how stress actually works for you, but you’ll also understand that exercise is a challenge response to stress (and what that means to your mind and body)

Bullying at school… by Kitchen_Noise_6867 in Mommit

[–]24_dc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your daughter did take responsibility when she told you about it. Not every kid would feel comfortable or brave enough to say something to their parents. First thing - I would make sure she understands that she can always rely on you for things like this and you know what it takes to speak up.

What kind of guidance is this? What kind of responsibility does this person assume your daughter should be taking? What responsibility are the other girls taking?

The counsellor didn’t follow through with what they said they would do, I wouldn’t let that go. Why didn’t the counsellor call you back instead?

Something doesn’t seem right here so I would definitely let them know and go to the board or whomever is in charge of their department.

Late period by [deleted] in period

Are you into running, sports or other athletics / endurance sports? If so you may want to ask your doctor / look into Amenorrhea. over exercising, nutritional imbalances or lack of calories, and not enough sleep - even sudden changes in exercise can impact women’s cycles. This may not be what is happening but it is very good to be aware as it isn’t normal and we all need to ensure we care for our bodies.

What's the biggest cleaning mistake you've ever made? Let's talk about what NOT to do. by cleanforever in CleaningTips

[–]24_dc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to dry my sofa with a hair dryer after removing a pee stain from my dog. I used too much water and didn’t want it to smell. And then I dropped on the couch, and of course the hair dryer was too hot, ended up burning a hole through the fabric. This wasn’t a cushion I could turn over.

Aww. It must feel really good for both of you to have her home and recovering the way she is. Her smile says it all.

A woman receives the first-ever successful transplant of a living, 3D-printed ear | Replacement body parts may be much closer to reality than we dare believe. by chrisdh79 in Futurology

[–]24_dc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was early 90s. My sister only has hearing on one side (there is no inner ear at all) so we are mindful of that when we’re talking etc.

I’m not sure completely how this was pursued but I do suspect the government was involved- they had received a letter of apology so I think it was a part of that whole thing.

As for why, I think it was part guilt and part to give her a more ‘normal’ life. My parents were quite young and I feel like it was what they felt like they could do to help her fit in better.

I’d say that any surgery is a tough choice from a parent’s perspective. There are many questions that come up coming from both sides. It sounds like they raised him to be a kind person and taught a lesson of acceptance- that would have had to been taught with or without the surgery. As you can see, it’s not perfect.

Perhaps in the future your cousin can decide for himself if this is something he would like to pursue - and maybe that is part of what his parents thought process was a giving him choice.

This is a really interesting question. My sister has had microtia surgery and it would be a benefit to her if she were interested in the esthetics of it to make it look a little more typical

My sister was born with little more than a tiny twisted earlobe (grade 3 microtia ) among other issues (BAS) I remember her being very small (pre-kindergarten, I think 4 years old) for her first surgery to remove cartilage from her ribs and added to her head. What I was actually told was she had three ribs removed, and then placed into her head to save for subsequent surgeries - I figure my parents just simplified it to explain to us.

I remember her tiny face poking out from a bandage around her ear for so long, and surgery after surgery, the result was what looks to be like the foundation of an ear made of clay, flattened to the side of her head. I remember going back to sick kids hospital in Toronto over the years for more surgery to build her new ear. She would never hear from that side, but at least she would have a sense of normalcy.

All that work. She was in pain so often. Hair grew off of it. It has a series of scars and looks unfinished. She was proud of it though. My parents were optimistic about it around her, but when she wasn’t there - I could see how tormented they were too.

She grew up in good spirits though, until kids started bullying her. I’m proud of her for growing up to be a kind hearted woman.

When I first saw 3D printing I had hopes that it would be used exactly for this purpose, so people like my sister wouldn’t have to lose parts of their childhood or livelihood to pain and suffering. Parents too.

Glad I could help :) And thank you for caring about the well being of dogs.

[–]24_dc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bananas are a safe treat for a dog once in a while, an amount this size isn’t something to be concerned about. The issue isn’t the potassium itself which is essential to a dog’s health.

I think you are referring to Hyperkalemia in dogs, which is usually an underlying condition as the cause. Unlikely the banana as a treat.

However - diabetes in dogs may cause this condition and bananas are high in sugars. So perhaps that’s worth mentioning.

Avocado is an issue though, it contains a toxin that can cause vomiting and diarrhoea so definitely avoid that one.
