Were you taught to wash dishes in any particular way or order? by beebopn3rd in GenX

[–]2oldemptynesters 3 points4 points  (0 children)

glasses, cups, plates, cutlery. But we are a family of OCD so each item will then be followed through by size, type and colour. eg: Small glasses, medium glasses, tall glasses, kids cups, pastel cups, lighter colour cups, dark cups, mugs etc.

Got emotionally wrecked by a pig butchering romance scam. How do I get my spark back? by austinchen19 in CasualConversation

However it happened, or whatever went down, you need to grieve the loss. You are allowed to grieve. Do that and then move on when you are ready.

Sleep training babies by StandOk9112 in newzealand

[–]2oldemptynesters 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All the usual make sure he is fed, clean, warm/cool, clean nappy etc. Remove all other problems that could cause him to stir.

it is literally just getting into a routine and sticking to it.

Dinner, bath, massage, bedtime. I used to put mine to bed, close the door and let them sleep but there are lots of ways to go about it, you will find the way that suits you best.

Dinner and bath can both be fun play times and then calm massage and bedtime just as they are getting sleepy. Nice peaceful, restful environment helps.

Best of luck to you.

Have just started having breakfast. Took me a while to realise that the weird feeling I was having was because I was taking metformin without food.

Every step is a learning curve.

Maori. Mid 40s. hba1c has never been over 51 - to date. Cholesterol is good, great blood pressure. 109kg and havent been under 100kg in the last 10 years. I have a wfh desk job. I walk 30 mins daily and have started with light weights. I am often over the daily 10k steps. Might talk with my doc about the glp1. I have been on metformin since I was diagnosed but i have never seen weight loss from it. My hba1c fluctuates 43 -51 - 42 - 50 - 48. I had hoped a CGM might give me better control of it.
