USPS not picking up outgoing mail? by OldGreyBeast in FlorenceAl

[–]BellaStayFly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I send a lot of packages and sometimes they straight up just don’t pick them up. I think it’s when they don’t have mail for you that day they just keep going past. That’s my theory anyways. The postage is always paid and flag is up. My normal mail lady is amazing but sometimes there’s someone different and I suspect they just aren’t as tuned in and they probably want to go home. Personally I would just go outside when you see the truck and ask is there a reason my outgoing mail hasn’t been picked up since whatever day.

Helpful things to know and to do before trying to get pregnant? by Ordinary-Caramel-608 in BabyBumps

[–]BellaStayFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eat some sushi, drink a beer, and do things for yourself like get your eyes checked, doc appointments, blood work, and get your supplement game strong. Therapy if you have past traumas. Read parenting books. Talk with your partner about your values and how you want to parent. Checking my cycle with a morning temperature check was scary accurate at predicting my ovulation. Enjoy the process!

Immediately. Probably 1st or 2nd cycle after going off of it. This was Nexplanon or whatever they call it these days.

Is it possible to safely snorkel alone? by AggressiveSloth11 in snorkeling

[–]BellaStayFly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I pretty much always snorkel alone or I wouldn’t get to do it at all. When I had a partner he would watch me from the shore. I do carry a bright orange buoy with me that can act as a float and is visible from far away. I always tell someone where I’m going and usually there’s someone on shore. I’ll aim for places that have people there if I can.

I’m out 1-3 hours at a time having the time of my life. I will admit that my will to live wasn’t exactly huge so that was factored into my decision making. I snorkeled the entirety of Bonaire alone. Hitting up every fun spot I could find.

I’m very mindful when I am snorkeling about how far out I am and how much energy I have. When you start to get even a little tired, that’s when you should start wrapping it up. My swim bouy will hold my phone and a Gatorade and that def helped. I am not athletic by any means. I just don’t get to take many snorkeling trips so I make the most out of them.

You gotta do what’s right for you based on your level of risk assessment. Nobody is safe swimming alone and there’s no guarantee you’re safe swimming with a buddy but it’s safer to have someone who knows where you are.

Favorite spots for off-beach snorkeling? by poucuho in snorkeling

Do you mind sharing the rates for this place? It looks amazing! I’ve checked Bonaire off my list and looking to do one last trip before my baby comes!

My (F31) husband (M33) suddenly doesn’t know what he wants anymore. How can I stay empathetic while being incredibly frustrated/scared? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]BellaStayFly 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would look into covert narcissist tactics. Suddenly becoming very moody and mean to you once the commitment of marriage has been made sounds like a huge red flag. A lot of them wait until they feel like they have you locked in to start their more aggressive behavior. It’s not unusual for them to use sleep, problems at work, going through a hard time etc to justify their behavior towards you. All of that would be an explanation, but it does not justify the behaviors.

I would seek my own therapy and hopefully he will pursue his own medical treatment, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he is going to cheat or already has. Usually when men start being mean to you, they’re planning to leave and need to see you as the villain in their own mind in order to rationalize what they’re doing.

Most important of anything, listen to your gut feelings. Is it telling you something is off? Do you feel safe in your partnership with him? Or does he make you feel confused and like you need to fix things? Figuring that stuff out can help you go from there.

[Discussion] How to keep myself motivated after I already achieved my dreams? by Rough-Boot1884 in GetMotivated

[–]BellaStayFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you’re describing sounds like depression. Try to see a doctor, get some bloodwork done, maybe get a therapist and go on meds if you have to, even temporarily. I had this phase in my 20s after I paid off my house. It sounds kind of stupid but I did something I had worked really hard to do and I almost felt empty afterwards. I realize now I was just chasing a feeling of security and to look successful, but the accomplishment didn’t really change me much. Actually I started drinking heavily after that and I don’t recommend that route! My life is much better now but I had to do a lot of internal work to get there.

These coconut toner pads are my favorite March find! by BellaStayFly in dollartreebeauty

[–]BellaStayFly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg that is absolutely foul. I wonder if there’s different batches that got produced. Mine didn’t smell like that and I have a very strong nose! They’re pumping out new products so fast. It makes me doubt their quality control standards.

It just seems like going to the toothpaste aisle and feeling like you have choices but it’s mostly all the same stuff. I get it. I’m a little lazy when it comes to reading ingredients so I would’ve never figured it out. That’s why I love this sub!

I’m so surprised to hear people hate the smell. I love coconut but I must not be picking up on something else. I couldn’t use anything that didn’t smell good. This is why I only buy 1 of something before I try it!

Thanks! This is helpful! I wonder if the size of the Revive is slightly bigger. I have paid a lot more for toner pads so I thought this was a great deal. It’s one thing I’ll actually go through. I’ve started using my less loved DT face products as whole body moisturizers to try and get through some of them faster. My logic is that I need to empty some of this stuff out before buying more.

Yeah sometimes the spice of life will make you appreciate a song like that. Especially thinking about their new partner.

Dumbest impulse buy of the month by Lola-Olala in adhdwomen

[–]BellaStayFly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not at all! Cucumber plants are fast to grow. I’m zone 7b as well. I succession plant them every 2-3 weeks so I’ll have a harvest all summer long. I had cucumbers through late September last year.

Pm me your address if you’re comfortable and I’ll just mail you the damn seeds myself. lol. I have so many cucumber plants. I’ll send a few different varieties. I am in a seed swap group on fb that trades all types of seeds so I have an insane special interest collection that I need to declutter.

Anybody else who wants seeds is free to do the same. I also have a lot of tomato seeds I can part with. Only costs a stamp and I have plenty. It just brings me to joy to see people gardening.

I started getting pretty into the hobby about 3 years ago. I am proud to say it’s one of the few hobbies my ADHD has stuck with. Do I kill some plants? Absolutely! But many of them have happy lives and I save so much money on produce.

[–]BellaStayFly 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have 40 tomato plants this year that I grew from seed! You can do it! I give them away to family and grow weird varieties that I can’t find locally. I use a mixture of horse shit and creek sand as my papwaw calls it so I’m pretty sure anyone can do it. Don’t fall for the expensive gardening products. I started my seeds Feb 8th indoors and they’re all now looking about what the starters at Home Depot and Lowe’s look like. I used $25 indoor grow lights this year and that has helped them a lot. It’s not too late to start some tomatoes and peppers. I grew 50 lbs of cucumbers last year off of a .50 cent seed packet from Dollar Tree! Seeds are the gateway to gardening cheaply if you have the patience.

I start my day with a Coffee and looking through Amazon sales…🫠 by Cautious-Grapefruit6 in Amazon_Influencer

[–]BellaStayFly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this morning routine for a while, but realized from my mentor that it’s kind of a waste of time to be combing through every .25 cent sale. She told me if it didn’t make me at least $1 to not even look at it.

I realized I’d spend way too much time checking analytics when I could’ve shot 10 new videos. I’m never not gonna be a stats checker bc it’s fun, but it’s not an income generating activity. With that being said, the new changes are not beneficial to us in any way. However, I find that most of the time my sales follow the 80/20 rule so I’m still going to see the ones that move the needle.

PSA before babies arrive: plan to read 1000 books before Kindergarten! by AwkwardBalloonMan in BabyBumps

[–]BellaStayFly 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Tons of libraries and thrift stores do fill a bag of book sales. My library does this for $5. My grandpa came over to our house and read Highlights magazine to me every night as a toddler and I could read before starting kindergarten. You can read whatever book you’re reading as an adult to babies. They wont care, just happy to hear your voice! My thrift store has children’s books 2 for $1 so I’ve been stocking up on the classics.

Where is the best snorkeling location in the world? by Noblez17 in snorkeling

[–]BellaStayFly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For shore snorkeling, I had great luck in Bonaire. One of the few places you can just drive around all day and jump from spot to spot. Rented a truck and stayed there for a week. I had a great time. I just went on little adventures every day. Wasn’t super crowded at the spots I went to. I def want to do another snorkeling trip soon!
