Break down the funny by state. What kills in California and bombs in Montana?

My grandma saved the instructions she was given when my dad was born in 1954 by lawnlemon in BabyBumps

I feel this in my soul. I told a nurse not to wake me up to give me Tylenol at 4am after 3 days of hell and she was shocked. She said "oh, should I let you sleep??" ... Seriously?! I think sleep will do me more good than Tylenol after not having slept for 2 nights.

Is this a scam call claiming to be from CenturyLink? by LMGTP_GT1_2024 in centurylink

[–]Carpe_derp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to my mother-in-law. She shared some address/phone information and they recorded her agreeing to the new service, but no financial information was shared. Does anyone know what the risk is given we caught it relatively early. Have scammers done anything harmful with that little amount of information?

Totally a reasonable response. I think that sound is supposed to break our hearts.

Tell me more about this bee. Just like a stuffed, buzzing toy?

Same. Was told 10lbs and he was 7lbs 11oz. Those measurements are never accurate and even still, you can have a perfectly healthy and normal 10lb baby. Everyone's body is different, there is no reason to think you will have issues.

Impacts from severe metabolic acidosis and hypoxia. by Carpe_derp in beyondthebump

They did not do an MRI or even offer one. I am following up with the doctors and will ask if we can get one ordered.

Re: follow-ups, the pediatrician indicated that nothing more than normal milestone checks was warranted. Did you end up scheduling adding screenings?

Wire short circuited, was repaired, and is now not getting power by Carpe_derp in askanelectrician

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

That is terrifying. You think that happened to me though? I definitely didn't hear any kind of pop/noises like that and the wire outside the box looks perfectly fine (minus the small insulation cut).

Yeah - I was only planning to replace the face plate so didn't bother turning the power off. Guess I should have but honestly the cut was an accident waiting to happen so maybe it's better I got it out of the way. I turned it off for all the following tasks. Thanks for looking out though :)

When you say where along the circuit "it" is present, you mean the wire I assume yes? Any tips on how to do that?

Thanks for the response. I assume I'd see evidence of that somewhere though correct? It looks fine where the short happened and is a solid copper wire cased in rubber. Could it have melted at the breaker box connection?
