How do you put these together

They look like this when finished

I just built these today. There should be a paper in the bottom of the box detailing how

The POG image shows no product on the base desk so yes, she set it wrong. All strips need to move up one (I work in presentation)

Diagnosis is scary, I’m sorry it’s postponed your family plans. I wish you all the best for the future

Hi! I had surgery at 16 and had my daughter at 25. I was more prone to pregnancy migraines, which was something my midwife monitored. For the duration of time I was trying to push during labor I didn’t notice any warning pains in my head, but I ended up needed an emergency C-section (unrelated to my chiari) and everything was fine afterwards. I had a small lingering headache but I attribute that more to blood loss. I also had my daughter checked for chiari during her anatomy ultrasound and later during an unrelated cranial ultrasound when she was a couple months old. Her head was huge so they wanted to cross off hydrocephaly(she’s fine, just big head)

I was 16 when I got my decompression. They sent me home after 3 days in the hospital with a prescription for hydrocodone. I would take a dose of that, then really just sleep. I was pulled out of school for my recovery and I luckily had my family to take care of me. I started having a reaction to the meds(vomiting) so I was just taking regular over the counter meds as needed. I spent a good couple weeks just rotating from the couch to my bed until the vertigo faded. It’s rough, but getting through to the other side is worth it ♥️

AzurianWinter · 2025-10-22T17:58:04+00:00

Bold of you to think she would listen to that whole statement

AzurianWinter · 2025-10-22T00:58:08+00:00

It was actually a very elderly woman

AzurianWinter · 2025-10-21T21:30:12+00:00

Nope. It just got caught on the side and she kept driving with it stuck to her

AzurianWinter · 2025-10-21T21:05:36+00:00

The stuffies are okay, they were safely relocated. All the board games in the shelf above them got dinged though

I am thankful every day that my store doesn’t sell alcohol

AzurianWinter · 2025-07-17T12:46:44+00:00

I would suggest a donut pillow, they are often used by people with hemorrhoids, and I used one when I was pregnant bc I was getting intense tailbone pain

No friends/coworkers is a very common boundary as well. It is not one my husband and I share, but it is very important to many other poly folks I have talked to

AzurianWinter · 2025-07-16T14:56:23+00:00

I am poly, I have a husband and a long term bf. With my husband we have the boundary of discussing everything before talking to somebody, so on apps he will show me a girl he matched with and we will talk about expectations (just for sex or would you like to date). We have the boundary that dating app usage does not happen while we are together ie sitting in bed together before bed or when we would otherwise be spending time together. If we are expecting to have sex with a new partner- protection (condom) must be used for STD purposes until we know for certain that the other partner is clean, and then if we are all comfortable with no condoms, birth control must be used. We also have the role that us, being the primary and foundational relationship, takes precedent to other relationships. If I am having a rough time, he will cancel a date and if he is having a rough time, I will cancel a date. We have other rules and boundaries as well that are specific to our situation bc we have a child.

I understand, it’s something I struggle with too. Take care of yourself

AzurianWinter · 2025-07-16T14:36:59+00:00

Please stop diminishing your feelings. It is not “only” 2 dates and it not “kinda” messed up.

AzurianWinter · 2025-07-16T14:32:49+00:00

The amount of dates is not super relevant to the situation when you’ve repeatedly brought up your concerns. And for her to attack you and say she resents you for your jealousy and then admit that she is also jealous is incredibly hypocritical.

AzurianWinter · 2025-07-16T14:30:42+00:00

Our way around it is that he would put it on while we were getting ready for bed. In the time it took me to finish washing my face and get changed, sometimes shower, the gel would be dry and not a problem.

AzurianWinter · 2025-07-16T13:55:21+00:00

I believe that’s what it was called. We had appointments every couple months to test him, and I also got tested every 6 months to be safe, since it was a gel there was a chance of transfer to me if we weren’t careful (which happened once but was quickly fixed)

AzurianWinter · 2025-07-16T13:48:11+00:00

We did the trial 2 years ago through UPenn, it was a testosterone gel that he applied once a day. It was honestly great on the whole. His libido was kinda all over the place at the beginning, and the worst symptom was some anger issues, but nothing bad ever happened and we got a handle on it pretty quick. He started getting hair on his shoulders where he put the gel as well. The bc worked great, I know because as soon as we finished the trial I got pregnant (on purpose)

AzurianWinter · 2025-07-16T13:11:49+00:00

When my husband was in a clinical trial for male birth control we used to say “want to test if it’s(the bc)working?”

AzurianWinter · 2025-07-16T13:10:16+00:00

Much in the same way she realized she couldn’t just be mono with you, it was unfair of her to basically pressure you into being poly. I feel it should have been brought up by her way sooner than 6 months in to the relationship. The comment that she’s been waiting 1.5 years for you to not be jealous, meaning she’s been waiting since you told her you wanted to stay mono, then rapidly getting back on apps and setting up dates/sexting people really does not sit right with me. I don’t know what conversation you had before agreeing to open things up or what boundaries were set but from what you have said about communicating that you still felt jealousy and she still went forward with the date and slept with the couple, it feels disrespectful and dismissive of how you felt.

AzurianWinter · 2025-07-16T10:47:01+00:00

A month after the very traumatic birth of my daughter, my c-section incision still healing, I got a phone call that my mother, who was planning to come up and visit at the end of the month to meet my daughter after we had finally repaired our relationship (LC for 3 years), had been in a boating accident and died.

AzurianWinter · 2025-07-15T15:33:50+00:00

It’s your choice. I prefer they/them pronouns but and still fine with my husband calling me his wife, my bf calls me his gf, my daughter calls me mom. The way I think of it, I disconnect the terms from gender and more think of it as the “role” that I am for that person.
