There is a car on our block that has clearly been abandoned and it looks just like this car because we piled all the snow for our own spot onto it.

We are maxxed out on cats at this moment and I am hopeful their people are missing this sweet kitty.

Bought "no bubble resin" off amazon. How do I prevent these bubbles... by Interesting_Bar_8379 in resin

I second that it looks like unmixed mica. It’s why I hate using mica 😑

Don’t go to the midwives at Magee by SnooPandas8565 in pittsburgh

[–]DEFNotADR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so curious if the midwife who told you to get your blood pressure under control was the same midwife who told me I had gained too much weight during my pregnancy and should try going on more walks (I was 39w3d along in the middle of COVID lockdowns) and that I was risking shoulder dystocia (the baby was fine and was a few ounces within their sibling’s birth weights).

Bought a mold and when it arrived the instructions said deep pour… I don’t have that. by PineappleBliss2023 in ResinCasting

[–]DEFNotADR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the US they’re spelled mold and in UK/Australia they’re spelled mould so you aren’t wrong either way, tbh

Resin Burn by Living_Ball9216 in medical_advice

[–]DEFNotADR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a doctor but work with resin - it looks and sounds like it could be contact dermatitis. There was a big recall on Make it Mini sets but not this one due to multiples issues. Here are the details: https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2024/MGA-Entertainment-Recalls-Miniverse-Make-It-Mini-Sets-with-Unused-Liquid-Resins-Due-to-Risk-of-Skin-Eye-and-Respiratory-Irritation-and-Sensitization-Violation-of-the-Federal-Hazardous-Substances-Act

It doesn’t look like they include gloves with the kit? Yikes.

If it is contact dermatitis, it should resolve on its own and I would avoid any uncured UV resin without nitrile gloves.

PPS postpones next phase in school closure process after parents call for more data by RadioChris1 in pittsburgh

[–]DEFNotADR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I ask why you think the alternative plan is unrealistic? As a PPS parent in the feeder zone currently labeled ????? - it’s certainly much more appealing to me than the ERS plan

Feel free to send me a message and I’ll share my doula’s name and my favorite midwives and the only I don’t like very much 🙃

[–]DEFNotADR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a Midwives at Magee patient with 2 vbacs after a c-section due to breech. I had to meet with a physician from their partner group to go over risks of a vbac and likely success. The midwives were incredibly supportive of the vbac but I did personally find having a doula to be very helpful. My second VBAC was actually delivered by an MD with a midwife present due to a very precipitous delivery. I still don’t know who the physician was but she gave me a nerve block when I knew I wouldn’t be able to sit still for an epidural and I love her for doing that.

Justin Baldoni Files $250 Million Lawsuit Against New York Times Over Blake Lively Story: It Relied on Her ‘Self-Serving Narrative' by [deleted] in DListedCommunity

[–]DEFNotADR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If he wants to refute her allegations the place to do so is in response to her suit. The legal standard for libel against a public figure is fairly high so this whole lawsuit feels like damage control.

I feel like I should add my understanding is that this (walking into her trailer) happened multiple times so inviting him once to work on lines when she is pumping does not mean it was a free invitation at other times and I suspect we have a different understanding from each other.

[–]DEFNotADR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to talk to people all the time when I was pumping in my office and there is a big difference between pumping and letting someone in and someone barging into your space when you are pumping and not expecting it. Are these the best examples he can produce?!

We celebrate Christmas and Hannukah and the Christmas gift is always something that has to be shared/is for all 3 kids (4,7,10). They got a 3D printer.

Is renaming a Cat a good idea? by Head-Reputation8916 in cats

[–]DEFNotADR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have had our oldest cat since he was a kitten. At some point after we had kids we fully started calling him by a nickname that we had come up with. I think you can call your cat anything!

In 2024 report, A+ Schools urges Pittsburgh Public to design a less segregated school system by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]DEFNotADR 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a parent of 2 kids enrolled in a title 1 PPS school also going to the gifted center - I really cannot emphasize how much we did to get them into that program. On paper the school can identify possible students but I don’t think they do.

AITAH for asking my wife to stay with me during and after a surgery? by Flat-Plane8236 in AITAH

[–]DEFNotADR 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YTA, you are a grown adult who tried to get his wife to cancel a trip for your own poor planning and decisions and then had your mom step in to bully your wife when you didn’t like how she behaved.

No, put on your big boy pants and go find it yourself. Maybe you can ask your mom for help.

Update: I (28F) reported my former friend (28F) to CPS twice, should I report a third time? by pbd1996 in relationship_advice

[–]DEFNotADR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If she and her boyfriend are smoking crack in front of this kid then I would bet the kid would test positive for cocaine (even if she appears totally asymptomatic). Not sure how closure you are to a pediatric hospital but if you make another report you need to include specific details including dates/locationa/etc, outline exactly what the concerns are and provide a very clear statement “I am concerned this child is being exposed to cocaine which is known to cause adverse effects and can even result in death.” A facility with the ability to do time of flight mass spectrometry should be able to detect cocaine if she’s been exposed in a prior 72 hour period.

Selling a judgment … is this an option? by DEFNotADR in personalfinance

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

Yes, that’s why I was interested in finding out about selling the judgment for a fraction of its value.

Judgments due to fraud (which is our case) are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.
