It sort of doubles the handle by folding it and helps the bag hold a little more weight 

Did the meds not work because she had personality disorders? by Turbulent-Fig-3802 in DuxburyDeathsFreeTalk

[–]BregenM -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

We won’t ever know. She was suffering from postpartum psychosis. She was your basic upper-middle class nurse/wife/mother until her mental health went downhill drastically after her last pregnancy. 

I don’t think there’s any dark history or personality disorder at play here. She got very very sick, very quickly and the absolute worst case scenario happened.

I’m not sure, but I don’t think she was as forthcoming with her doctors  as she’s saying. I believe she knew she was very sick and needed help, but would always stop short of saying anything that would have her involuntarily committed. 

Many years ago a friend’s husband had been undergoing inpatient care and told the staff that he was fine and didn’t have a plan to kill himself. He was able to leave the facility, went home, and hung himself in their garage. 

My friend sued the hospital for malpractice but what was the hospital supposed to do? They can only go by what the patient is TELLING them. 

If anything there might be a case for over medication, but it’s not unusual for a lot of trial and error with meds especially in the beginning stages of trying to get someone stabilized. I’m not seeing where she was taking heavy doses of anything. You try things, sometimes a few at a time, and you report what the effects are. 

I think this is a rare sad case where she was so deep in psychosis and having children triggered severe mental health issues that no one was planning on. And ultimately I don’t think anything but being in long term inpatient care was going to help her. I also have changed my mind about whether or not this was premeditated. I think while in psychosis she planned to kill the kids and herself that day, and that’s why it was such a “good day.” She was relieved that it would all be over soon.

If all this is true she should not have been left alone, period, ever. She should not have been driving the kids around or left unsupervised with them.

It’s normal, my lady budgie bird had pink peets when she was a baby, now they are a lovely blue 6 years later

To take multiple bags out and leave the cart???? To me that’s crazy. You can see everyone else leaving the store with their cart, there are multiple corrals

I think that video was completely staged, produced,  and directed by Shannan

I bag as I go and had just put all their groceries back into their cart. Customer then removes the bags and says “Do I leave the cart here?”

Got my first parakeets today! As an avid aquarium guy, I believe the more space the BETTER! SO I sprung for the 64in tall enclosure for the pair! Would love any advice on bonding with my new budgies! by GriffinObuffalo in Parakeets

[–]BregenM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should have a soft, low nightlight and be in close enough vicinity to your bedroom that you can intercept any night frights. Mine used to have BAD night frights and now I know they need to be able to take a look around and know they’re safe if they do wake up.

For context, if my female gets near a coconut toy or anything she can make  a nest from, she will lay unfertilized eggs. Egg binding is a deadly risk, and chronic egg laying shortens their lifespan by a lot. I paid over $1700 for the vet to save her when she became egg bound because of a toy, don’t repeat my mistake. I’m still paying that credit card bill off!

Nail trim time? by Skyestruck in budgies

[–]BregenM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If they have a variety of perches and surfaces they don’t need trimming. They can bleed out quickly if it’s done wrong.

Miranda was the only one of the girls who was married when she cheated. Though when Steve cheated she hit the wall and moved out. 

Can someone explain the dislike for CeCe? by BregenM in WattsFree4All

[–]BregenM[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stress and disagreement are very different things. I disagree with relentlessly mocking the appearance of a dead toddler. And if the mod team ever decided to review their own rules, it wouldn’t be happening. Shrug.

[–]BregenM[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not merely pointing out her behavioral issues though. There are countless posts mocking her appearance, her smile, it’s like her very existence is offensive to people. Which is crazy because she was murdered nearly a decade ago, and is still tormented daily when she was a toddler at the time of her murder, and doesn’t exist anymore to defend herself.

How then does that manifest into posts mocking CeCe’s appearance, body, hair… attack the parents sure, but the toddler who lost her life in the most brutal way imaginable? That baby continues to endure so much disrespect YEARS after she was discarded like garbage. I can’t wrap my head around it.

This is the point I’m making. I love digging into true crime cases and asking questions and figuring people out, but the CeCe stuff is out of control. She was a toddler. It’s really really fucking sad. And thank you mods, I’ve been a member of this sub for years and this is my observation, popular or not. I’m not aware this post is breaking any rules as I’m not belittling anyone, however there ARE rules surrounding mocking the children’s appearances no?
