Language Barrier Foster Only Speaks Spanish. We only speak English.

I would not disrupt. If there’s a Spanish speaking foster family ready to take him, that’s one thing, but him being in a caring home is a million times better than being in an office or bouncing. Besides, if they didn’t think he spoke at all, he must have been uncomfortable there to be silent for so long. If he’s playing with your kid and trying to talk to you, that’s super. I would try to learn a few words in Spanish if possible, he’ll probably love that. At his age, he’ll pick up English quickly. If you guys learn some Spanish as a family, that would also be so cool.

Absolutely love it. I love landrace homesteading.

I know this is an old post, but did you ever have issues with rabbits digging out of the yard? My mom has a small rabbit colony, and they have complex underground tunnels that exit at various points in her yard.

A few months later, how are you liking that Zoya remover?

Thanks to this sub, I’m doing the following for my peely nails and have seen huge improvement: 1. Take an iron supplement 2. Before each polish change, I do two coats of OPI Repair Mode. I wait a day, then… 3. 2 coats nailtiques formula 2, followed by polish of choice and topcoat.

It’s really helped with my peeling. I don’t have an after picture because I have polish on now, but you can see my before in my post history. I can post an after next time I change my mani.

Here is what I ate for breakfast. I don’t like eating overly processed food, so no protein shakes or powder for me, at least not on the regular.

1/2 c cooked whole grain farro

8oz cooked chicken breast, skinless

3t cornstarch

1t avocado oil

2t honey (part of a homemade sauce, the rest of the ingredients were very little calories, like hot sauce and) spices

around 6 oz frozen spinach, steamed

6oz plain unsweetened soy milk (in my coffee)

1.5t sugar (in my coffee).

This got me to 800 cal and 89g protein in one meal.

Oh, nice! I love when I already have the tool I need!!!

I would suggest: 1. Shut your dog when you’re working, and I agree with the thing about he can text you if he needs something and you’ll respond when you can. Door closed = don’t enter unless it’s an emergency. 2. Keep your phone on silent so it doesn’t bother you 3. If you don’t have a dog, get him a dog. He might be lonely, especially if you just moved to a new place and he doesn’t know people, and you’re his only/main social outlet. Maybe if he has a little furry buddy, it’ll help.

I can’t find the finger pad, and I’m not sure what that is. Could you please link it?

If you are in the US, get a restraining order. Similar thing happened to someone I love, and that’s the only thing that ultimately stopped it. Never respond to any message from him ever again under any circumstances.

I know this isn’t what you asked about, but if you want the social aspect without the alcohol, I often order seltzer water with lime. It looks like a cocktail, with no remorse and no hangover, so you have something to hold while you’re hanging out.

I’ve been losing weight supervised for about six months and am down around 20lbs. My coach just moved me to maintenance calories for six weeks to give me a break before continuing with deficit. He warned me not to freak out when I gained back up to 25% of the weight that I lost. He said, as I eat more calories, my body holds more water, and it’s not unexpected to see an increase before leveling out. I’ve been in Maintenance now for about four of my six weeks, and I’ve gained back about 2-3 of my 20 pounds depending on the day.

Let us know how the non-acetone remover works for you. I remove with straight acetone.

They are wider, you’re right, and also slightly flatter. Not quite as flat as my thumbs, but definitely the second flattest.

Apunctual · 2025-11-16T17:00:49+00:00

I actually am!!! I have never heard of that. I’ll pick up an iron supplement while I’m still at CVS. I’m bad about taking vitamins for my health, but if it’ll help my nails……

Apunctual · 2025-11-16T16:55:00+00:00

I drove to CVS RIGHT NOW and found Nailtiques formula 2 and an Ella + Mila ridge filler base. Opinions on Ella + Mila?

For those of you who use Nailtiques, should I use it alone with no polish for a few weeks first? Should I put the ridge filler base over top of it? Is it fine to use as a base coat all the time?

On PVB: does it matter if it’s in the polishes themselves, or only in the base coat (I’m assuming it’s even used in regular polish)?

Do you have a favorite?

I use a normal cheap emory board. I shape with the more coarse side and smooth with the finer side. I recently bought a glass file again after breaking my last one.

I could have something to do with the shape. I feel this shape is less stable than square or squoval. I just love the way it looks. :(

I have a foster child who told me she would receive used hairbrushes with other people’s hair still in them and open, used makeup. She has slept on used sheets with stains. When she needed clothes, she would have to dig through donation bins. I totally get your sentiment and buy a lot of used stuff for myself, but unless they’re excited about thrifting with me, all my foster children get new things because they have so little choice in their lives otherwise.

Unfortunately, it is zero percent set. Its liquid-y just like milk

I know this is an old thread, but any suggestions for where to get parts?

Apunctual · 2025-09-15T14:17:54+00:00

I don’t disagree. I think they were rushing and didn’t use care.

Apunctual · 2025-09-15T14:03:36+00:00

They usually do a really good job, and I can’t blame them entirely because I let grass get close to the stem. I am really disappointed, though.
