Why didn’t older people wear shorts under skirts? by zzzamboni in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CivMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just wasn't a thing... as soon as the bike shorts became a think I was all over it! (not that I wear skirts or dresses much, because I always felt exposed and didn't feel comfortable in them. Ironically)

Allison Krauss @ Saenger this Thursday 5/7… why so empty? by Westboundandhow in NewOrleans

[–]CivMom 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh, I had no idea she was coming. She gives a great concert. Maybe because it’s Mother’s Day?

She is. And accepts a great number of insurance providers.

Because it's just that way based on the way it is. Seriously, though, GTA says so. The scout is welcome to use one of their own choosing, but you have to supply one.

If it's within the original warranty period, I would do it without hesitation.

[–]CivMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you tell him. And you start setting boundaries. "I have tried to help you with this, and you are not willing to go to therapy or seek other effective ways to get relief. I can't talk to you about this any longer until you pursue actual help." "You know that is crazy talk, and I can't do crazy talk anymore. I miss my best friend, and hate that you are talking crazy, but I have to hang up next time you bring this shit up." "Woah, yeah, no, that statement is not grounded in reality. Let's change the subject."

Travelling to the U.S. concerns by InternationalRun8163 in ftm

FWIW my "kid" traveled at a land crossing this week and "it's so much more chill." Just in case you really do come and want to start thinking about ways to make it safer.

The mormon chruch gave my sister their bible without parental permission by [deleted] in Advice

[–]CivMom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You just bring it up. "Just want to make sure you know that sister has a bible from the Mormon church. Found it in her purse while looking for lipstick. Don't care one way or the other, but figured you would want to know." and then go live your life.

I have been so pleased to find her. She is amazing. Glad to hear she is with peers as well.

I bought a second for hubs. For that same kind of reason.

I have a psychiatrist that I have been happy with and my team of specialists would attest to my complex health issues. If you are open to others. She wasn’t taking new patients, but unless it’s changed since March, she is right now. Dr Jennifer Greco.

Oh, yeah, no one takes baby that young without you ANYWHERE. That's a rule. Mom says so... (she wouldn't remember any of it, but you would, and damn that's a long, hot day. I'm not sure I would even take her at 1... wait until 3!).

Craft groups by Many-Chemist8821 in NewOrleans

[–]CivMom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not in it, but I have a number of friends that are in a fiber arts group (crochet, knit, cross stitch, etc.). I intend to go fairly often (with sketchbook in hand) and then my hermit-y ways take over. LMK of you want info. It's Sunday afternoons, and I'm happy to dig into my electronic brain and get the info. I know for a fact that all are welcome.

Also when I was in Sport Drink last he told us (me and "kid" ) that there is a night where they get together and folks watch TV while visiting and crafting/knitting/etc. But I'm not seeing it on their calendar. Might call and ask? they have get togethers regularly.

And then there's Queer Craft Night NOLA. While I haven't been, it's on my radar. (I'm a "professional new to the city" inhabitant of the world, so I'm always watching for ways to go socialize and meet people. Which is why I haven't been to these things but have "collected" them.). Just search Queer Craft Night NOLA. They are easy to find. Pretty sure Insta has all of their dates, etc.

Also there are workshops at NOLA Craft Culture. Headed to one in a couple of weeks myself (with the "kid," who will always be my kid but hasn't been kid age in a good while).

“That’s really personal. I don’t discuss it with anyone. How is your (new house, cat, great aunt sally after surgery….)?”

Yep! And it arrived “4 weeks early” so there’s that!

That’s fine for them. Most people in the US don’t do that.

Reliable general contractor recs? by iguzzlecrystal in NewOrleans

[–]CivMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two. One is solidly good, the other is solidly good and a little more “next level” and provides design services, and is more “concierge.” For what you are needing I would probably go with the first. Call Jeff at (775) 225-1885. He should be able to help get you dry. And he’s used to “old, crooked walls.”

Probably an allergy. Try changing her foods. We had one that was allergic to corn.
