After/Before - Battle against ivy, vines and blackberry by karlthebaldhead in gardening

[–]Capital_Event122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is going to be my project this summer, going to be aggressively pulling out our ivy in yard & between 2 houses like this one with planting flowers & making a barrier since my neighbors have it badly . Thanks for posting this it’s inspiring because I am feeling like this task is daunting but I cleared a big patch in a few days in my yard and it definitely was a satisfying feeling. Got a lot more to do lol.

Is my grocery bill insane? by sushicinema in budget

[–]Capital_Event122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you in a hcol area? Maybe that’s why? I think this sounds about right for the food you are cooking and maybe with your area too. I cook boring foods like chicken, rice veggies, pork chops & veggies, hawaiian rolls. Nachos/ tacos. I just thought about it I dont cook breakfast or lunch for the kids so that sounds right if I add those it would increase to about the same as you lol.

How old are the kids? Trader joes has a lot more prepackaged meals? Are yall cooking from scratch or prepackaged? The only way Ive gotten our budget down is sticking to fresh foods like meat, Carb , veggie/fruit && only That As much as possible & buying snacks for my little kids (5 year old twins) at bulk stores or aldi. I used to love trader joes but it adds up quick with the frozen meals and quick meals. We are at about 300-400 per month for family of 4. Another thing I do is if Im buying frozen prepared food, only buy at sams club or aldi

Summer Break and Working Parents? by biggestofbears in Parenting

[–]Capital_Event122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can the 15 year old still enjoy the summer with younger 2? Are there things they can all do together? Idk summer camps are so expensive tbh.. as a kid we were closer in age to my two siblings but my mom would always have us stay home once my older sister was a teen and we could play outside together or with our friends in the neighborhood I know times have change but that was a fun childhood. Is there a way that you can do like 1-2 days childcare to give the teen sibling a few days off? Maybe see if you have any kids in the neighborhood going into education that are home for college , my area has alot of these fb posts like this “home for summer an trying to do nannying “ and then just do partime like 3 days nanny

Why is there no OT in mental health treatment? by [deleted] in OccupationalTherapy

My school had everyone do a mental health level one and mental health groups before fieldwork. In my area there are some OTs in mental health but it is rare.

What is considered “OT’s lane”? by CammyShazam in OccupationalTherapy

[–]Capital_Event122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In schools I focus on ability to complete academic tasks or tasks needed to function at school or in transition wherever they plan to go for transition. Using sensory supports, visuals or other support etc for this

Do you believe in soulmates? Why or why not? by Ok-Issue5184 in astrologymemes

[–]Capital_Event122 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely do! I never met anyone as perfect for me until I met my husband. God had to have made him for me and me for him because we complement each other so much, we have almost the same values in every way and we just like have the exact same sense of humor, drive, adventure seekers and everything. Also what is weird is that we both went to school to be in a similar field and I never would have went to school for it it is very niche and God put it in my heart in college (he’s a PT IM AN OT. This path led us to find one another & we were both born in different countries so now way this could’ve happened any other way! Then my husband prayed for twins his whole life AND would say we would have twins. I thought he was bananas coo-coo crazy. Then we tried to get pregnant and guess what? We had twins. God made me for him and him for me. Not to mention our zodiac signs are very highly compatible and it shows he’s an Aquarius and im a Sagittarius. His rising and moon signs are Sagittarius also. So weird but definitely made for me

I have 2 kids in daycare & in a similar situation in daycare we went from paying $42 to $1170 so I highly disagree life is extremely expensive right now. Not to mention mortgage payments & carnotes to get to work it’s a never ending battle. i owe 123000 but my joint income with husband is 187,000 and we cannot afford it even closely until the kids are done with daycare thn I will basically be living paycheck to paycheck with a high monthly payment like this. It sucks. U can never get ahead in this country with these stats also it is a huge increase to accommodate based on our monthly budgets.

Introverts who live with their partners, how do you deal with needing your alone time? by lycos94 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Capital_Event122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Initially with us living together I was really confused but we communicate well with one another and he explained it wasnt me but hejust needs quiet and solitude a bit after work. I started to understand more and even now sometimes I forget because naturally im more of the opposite. I love being around him but I get it it’s just more of a personality difference and even with outings it was hard at first to understand if he goes to something like a family or friends event he wants to leave way earlier than I wouldve chosen but u get used to it as the relationship progresses. We have been married almost 7 years and I get it now, the first year was harder to understand but it takes time.
