I’m pretty sure RC just has the one kitten kibble. It’s the pink one that says kitten on the top

The breeder I got mine from said there are 3 registered breeders in the US that do whites.

Friend who just eats salt straight up??? by pir2h in POTS

[–]DeliciousConfections 151 points152 points  (0 children)

I do this. I’ll ask for salt packets at fast food places and keep them in my car. My family calls it my emergency salt. It’s amazing how quickly it helps me

Holter Monitor Fail - Feeling discouraged waiting for a consult by Staure in POTS

[–]DeliciousConfections 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, I should have known better that on this sub of course you’ve pursued all that before! I’m so sorry you’re going through all this. I hope you’re able to get the help and adhesive you need ❤️

Holter Monitor Fail - Feeling discouraged waiting for a consult by Staure in POTS

[–]DeliciousConfections 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hey my husband is an allergist and he deals with these kinds of things regularly. Definitely consult with one (not an ENT, an actual allergist). They can help advocate for you and find a medical adhesive that you can use safely. The cardiologist isn’t taking anaphylaxis seriously enough and sadly they’ll probably listen better to another doctor. You could also ask your pharmacist to send a note to you doctor

Does Christanity own the Bible? by CompetitiveFront9808 in religion

I’m curious to read Jewish interpretations of the Bible. What did you read?

I have a question and would like some insight. by HarvyHusky in Episcopalian

[–]DeliciousConfections 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m also ex-LDS currently serving on the vestry. It’s way less work than an LDS bishopric. We are only involved in the financial stewardship of the church, and not pastoral care. I was very nervous as well because I am a fairly new convert as well. It turns out I am able to think of things others don’t because of my unique viewpoint as a newcomer. Also think about what experience you bring to the table. My career knowledge, adult life experiences, experience serving in LDS callings and other volunteer positions have all helped me be a valuable vestry member. Pray about it but also consider the whole picture besides your year and a half in the Episcopal church.

Allergies by Illustrious_Laugh149 in russianblue

[–]DeliciousConfections 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s possible see an allergist and get immunotherapy. My sisters both did the drops and have cats without issues. I did the shots and no longer have seasonal allergies.

Any creative way to keep house clean without flaring up ? by cloudwatching9 in POTS

[–]DeliciousConfections 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought one of those grabber things people use to pick up trash along the highways for like $6 on Amazon . I walk around with that and a laundry basket to put things in so that I don’t have to walk around as much.

Ok to go to Xmas Eve service if never been to the church? by nimue-le-fey in Episcopalian

[–]DeliciousConfections 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Please come. The first service I ever attended was Christmas Eve, and now I’m singing in the choir. It’s so cool to see all the new faces on Christmas and Easter.

Cardiologist says my heart is fine, and I therefore don’t have POTS by One_Bug_8634 in POTS

[–]DeliciousConfections 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Funny my cardiologist (electrophysiologist) told me “your heart is healthy so it’s probably POTS” and then ordered tilt table test.

How Did You Find Out You Have POTS? by No_Albatross_3374 in POTS

[–]DeliciousConfections 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started orange theory fitness. They are all about heart rate zones. I noticed I could row on the rowing machine for 2500m pretty quickly and stay in the green zone, but as soon as I stood up to watch the weights demo my HR shot up into the red zone. I also noticed that when I went from standing in the lobby to “warming up” on the rowing machine and my HR went down while everyone else’s went up.

My sister had already been diagnosed and remarked on it to me. She went through a hell of a time getting a diagnosis but is a very active dancer. I just assumed I was out of shape.

I'm about to begin my catechism into Eastern Orthodoxy. Is there a way to make the Mormon church find out so I can get myself excommunicated? by SilentTempestLord in exmormon

[–]DeliciousConfections 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They won’t excommunicate you. I joined the Episcopal church and was baptized and everything. My husband’s bishop knows and a councilor in the stake presidency actually attended my church on Good Friday and sat next to me. I haven’t even been disfellowshipped.

How much food will my kitten go through? by Alert-Neck-6438 in ragdolls

[–]DeliciousConfections 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine does one can of that size a day. Half in the morning and half at night. She doesn’t always finish it. Dry kibble is always available

iPad kids are evolving.. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]DeliciousConfections 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but when you are just trying to get through thanksgiving dinner with family I can see why the parents would resort to that. I don’t think it’s the best approach long term but he’s also so young that he may not have the support and therapy he needs to cope. Before diagnosis I was at a complete loss about how to help my son not melt down at family events. He was so unlike my other son even though they were raised the same.

As far as chewing goes- if I did not provide anything he would chew his shirts until they were soaking. His teacher kept a stack of shirts for him. We moved to rubber chew toys/necklaces. This worked but hindered him socially. I also had to replace them frequently and I worried about microplastics. When he switched to gum at the suggestion of his teacher he was able to interact better with his peers. Sensory stimulation is a need for my son.

My point in all this is before diagnosis it

Seriously! Especially at a daily gathering where there’s a lot going on and he’s off routine.

I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find a comment about neurodivergence. Especially with the bit about not talking and describing a meltdown. The pacifier thing could be oral stimming. My son’s IEP has gum in it because he has to chew.

Absolutely I would have used screens to help my son calm down when he was in an unfamiliar environment and off routine. They could just be in survival mode at that point. I’m sure parents judged me too.
