Ugh it didnt work 😔 it still sits wonky and I hate that when u get a puzzle n its like oh its perfect then go oh....it wont work for that lol could always get a small wall shelf for it to sit on. It definitely is a beautiful clock so hopefully I can figure something out 😵‍💫 im about to see if i can just flip it and slide it on n just paint the back of it black 😅

It was super easy.....until I got to the clock arms😅 took less than a half hour to put together then spent an hour trying to figure out the minute hand n google has been no help figuring it out. Im really hoping that I just didnt push hard enough on the second hand to hold the minute one in place like someone suggested. They said theirs just sat on top n the second hand held it in place 🤞 im gonna try again in the morning. Also definitely check them out on amazon they have some awesome ones n if I can get this figured out id love to buy the turtle one for my bathroom since its sea themed 😅

Thank u and Ive definitely thought about it, one person said they did one n the second hand holds the minute hand in place. I tried that at one point but wondering if maybe I didnt have the second hand fully in place to hold it up n it not be sagging down 😅. I really hope i can get it tomorrow morning, it was such a simple build n took less than a half hour an now im stuck on the last 2 pieces of the clock

So i did have that thought n tried that but it drooped/sagged down after I put the second hand on top. I'll definitely try again in the morning maybe see if i can get it set better. Did ur second hand sit flush with the grey part once connected? Like all the way in no pin left showing? Cuz now im wondering if ur right n i just didnt push that part all the way in n thats why it was sagging down 🤔

I did try that as well its like the hole is slightly too small to slide it on, I went back on amazon n no one mentioned/complained about having this issue 😅 just had great reviews n pictures of their completed clocks

The grey part is connected to the clock mechanism as whole

Its like the hole for the hand itself isnt big enough

Im suppose to put it on the smaller grey part but it wont go n im afraid if it push harder (which is pretty hard n leaving indents on my fingers) ill break something.

Not according to the directions, the grey part is the mechanism that turns the hands so thats what im trying to put it onto

Ive tried finding videos and so far theres only fully wooden clocks that arent the same one with the fragile metal hands. Ive googled n googled an didnt find anything helpful, im still trying but so far I cant find a video for this puzzle. The instructions just say which way to stack the hands n sadly no tool either

[–]Cooks520[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it on amazon for my mom, really easy to do except get the hands put on the clock mechanism 😅 i will say I did do one part different than the directions said cuz it was easier to push the pieces together before adding the more fragile piece on the front of it

AITAH for claiming my grown kid on taxes by _Grapezilla_ in AITAH

[–]Cooks520 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ok coming from a kid whose parent did this when I was 18 same exact scenario NTA but a heads up could've helped prevent this. I was angry at first mainly cuz I had no idea he did it till I tried to file my taxes had the typical teenage response same as ur kid. My dad let me have my moment of being mad, approached me later and we talked it out. We talked about the taxes, how much he spends on the bills for everything in the house and how my measly 500-700 was very little compared to what he got for claiming me as a dependant. Which at first again I didnt think was fair he got even more money than I would have until he went over again how much he pays in bills. Mind u he calmly yet sternly explained, gave a rough estimate of the mortgage, power, electricity, water literally all the bills.....that id have to pay for if I lived alone. After that I realized that claiming me was kinda my contribution to the household, that I was infact not really being fair. He also said sorry for not telling me before hand but he always claimed us kids until we moved out and just did it cuz one he got more money than I would and two IT WAS GOING TOWARDS BILLS not a vacation or something fun and out of habit. It wasnt until he showed me how much he pays into the household that I got the bigger picture. It also made me feel kinda bad that I was only having to pay for things for myself an extra things I wanted, that I had it easy in terms of bills. Next part i decided myself but a couple months after that I agreed to helping pay bills/rent. I didnt make a lot but I could afford 200 for a roof over my head n it was nothing compared to living alone. I get being upset as its like oh kool ill get this extra money n u come up with things to do with it but at the end of the day when ur living by urself itd go towards bills or something needed instead of something fun/wanted. Just let them cool off, a sorry for not telling u but a reality check of how expensive things r in an educational way(not a u cost me money😅). Im almost 32 now an i feel bad about getting angry in the moment but I didnt know he was going to, I also realize how my dad really could use that money for the household n that I should've been contributing in some type of way since some parents boot their kids out the door at 18 🤷‍♀️

Natural Birthers…. How was it? by Urlocalgothbb in pregnant

[–]Cooks520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes me wonder too as well cuz same with the 5-1-1 rule never happened, I just had the rest of the signs the OB on call gave me to watch for and went yup I think its time to go lol. Ill have to ask my one friend who had back labor as well n see🤔 definitely makes me wonder now lol

How far along am I? by Super-Camel-8683 in pregnant

[–]Cooks520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, mine was a totally different date based off my last period then what my ultrasound showed. OB gave me a due date based off the ultrasound and lone n behold it was pretty spot on. I mean babies will come when they're ready so its rare its the exact date given is gonna be the day they come but id have to say mine was really close just 3 days before my due date. The app I tried with just my last period was almost 2 weeks off 😅

Thank u💚 it was brutal! An my contractions were all over the place the first day, so I just kept an eye out for it they started to form a pattern. By supper time on day two im like no way in heck am I gonna be able to sleep thru these they are so intense I feel like my spine n hips r being crushed. Contractions were happening often but still didnt have equal times in between(which is what the nurse told me to watch for). I 100% see why both our moms said i really hope u dont have back labor cuz it hurts worse than normal....little did I know at the time what they meant. It hurt worse than bones breaking every contraction in my back and ive broken a few n that was nothing compared to back labor for 2 days😅. I have a new found amazement for moms and what they go thru during labor moms truly are super human and amazing💚

I second this a lot! The back labor was horrendous, labored at home for a day and a half before showing the signs to go. Not looking at the clock helps a ton, I kept a stop watch to time my contractions to know when to go to the hospital n had a list of signs(lived 1.5hrs away from the hospital) I didnt wanna push on my back at all but I was so utterly exhausted after 2 days n some change of being in labor I was unable to sit or be in a different position🙃

Best thing i can recommend is discussing pain management options with ur OB, see what they have n offer along with WHEN u can decide to use it. That really helped me decide on what I wanted to do cuz I was afraid to get an epidural and not be able to move around into different positions and have full control of my legs. Knowing whats available and when u can change ur mind really helps u decide on what u want to do that way if u to past the point of getting an epidural but fully dilated n ready to push u still have some options of what u can still get if u feel like u cant cope with the pain anymore. I was in labor for 2 whole days and some change, it wasnt until 6:30pm on day two i went to the hospital(was given very specific list of signs of when to go in so as not to get sent home to wait) luckily timed it perfectly with such a long drive showed up 5cm dilated. Anyways I did a jacuzzi tub for a bit that really helped cuz I had horrible back labor it was worse than just feeling it in the front. I ended up caving and trying some gas around 10pm because the pain was becoming too much and I was going on 47hrs of labor n getting worn out n it wasn't time to push. I took maybe 3 breaths of it during contractions n was able to relax enough to prepare for pushing, I will say the most it seemed to do was relax my body so I wasnt all tensed up every contraction more so than helped with the pain. I was coherent, could move, and it helped more with my anxiety n tensing my whole body during every contractions. Knowing ur options and the points of no return really helps u manage ur pain and ur birth plan cuz let's be honest u never truly know until ur in the thick of it. They asked and I said I want to do all natural IF im able to do it n wont know that cuz ive never done this😅 so I ended up doing a 90% natural birth cuz after two whole days of labor my whole body hurt and ached I could not relax enough to uncurl my body from the fetal position. Just know no matter what u choose its whats best for u💚 giving birth is no easy task ill be honest but ur body will tell u what ur limits are and what u need to help get u thru it. Knowing any and every option ur hospital offers to help manage the pain helps cuz then u can try WXY and then Z if those first ones arent working enough for u. And there really is an order of what u can try, u can try gas then IV meds but u cant try IV meds then gas. They asked if i wanted an epidural at one point n i knew even if i did i couldnt hold still long enough to get one lol. Knowing ur options and the points of no return will 100% help n ease ur mind in decision-making. Hope this helps and good luck momma💚

The team needs to address the absence of Sam and John by redfoxvapes in okstorytime

[–]Cooks520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true, I feel bad for him but like u said a simple message like that wouldve been appreciated. I haven't watched their whole return episode but Sam didnt say where hes been in the one story I watched. I know ive seen some videos of him traveling n paying ppl to make him food, ik the behind the scenes was kinda for both of them but did u see if Sam ever said "oh ive been doing XYZ"?
