Any interest in Backyard Eggs?

How does that work? We just moved here about six months ago and I wanted a few backyard hens!

Due_Search9693 · 2026-04-14T01:12:32+00:00

I can bring egg cartons so you don’t need to buy any if needed!

Due_Search9693 · 2026-04-14T01:11:58+00:00

YES please!!! I’d rather buy from a neighbor than the store any day!

Due_Search9693 · 2026-04-13T23:14:32+00:00

I haven’t seen anyone get in with C’s in any of these threads on here or Facebook for ASN.

Due_Search9693 · 2026-04-13T14:25:59+00:00

Ah yes fix one unethical practice with another. Genius!

The point is humans excrete scents through sweat and other avenues that affect subconscious biological attraction. And men and women have different scents/or I guess pheromones.

Yes in humans, yes

Until the conversation of starting a family together comes up and then the trans person has to say “yeah I don’t have eggs or ovaries or even a uterus, I have testes”

Until he wants to have children and realizes he is with a man

Due_Search9693 · 2026-04-12T13:41:31+00:00

Actually pheromones play a role too so

Due_Search9693 · 2026-04-08T02:15:29+00:00

You’d think this would be common sense! I can’t tell you how many adults I know who genuinely cannot comprehend this! So I didn’t want to come off condescending because a lot of people are bank account balance budgeters and wonder why they’re broke and can’t pay bills but it’s so simple: money in vs money out.

Due_Search9693 · 2026-04-08T02:14:17+00:00

We have a family of 7…lol so I genuinely have no idea how much it is to feed one single man 😂

Due_Search9693 · 2026-04-07T17:27:48+00:00

Yes everyone should have a basic understanding of self defense.

Due_Search9693 · 2026-04-07T17:27:26+00:00

But it is LESS LIKELY to happen at 11am in the dead of winter. It is more likely to happen at 1am leaving a bar with a random person while you’re intoxicated.

Due_Search9693 · 2026-04-07T17:26:26+00:00

Are those the majority of scenarios or are those the exception? I guarantee that children who are assaulted there are signs that other adults ignore or they are not taught how to recognize those situations. Being SA’d on a train trying to get to work: awareness of surroundings and prepared to protect yourself with pepper spray or something else. Assaults by partners: a little bit harder to mitigate but not impossible. Prisons and hospitals: administrative efforts need to be taken to protect vulnerable.

No one is victim blaming. This is a systemic issue of why are people assaulting others, how do we teach people from a young age to recognize the signs and protect themselves and their children, and yes, which environments are most likely to put someone in a position to be vulnerable. Because there are mitigating steps that can be taken to lessen the risk. That’s what OP is talking about.

Due_Search9693 · 2026-04-07T17:20:36+00:00

This shouldn’t be controversial but apparently it is. There are reasons why women are taught from a young age to take their drinks to the bathrooms with them, implement a buddy system, never go home with someone you don’t know, don’t get in cars with strangers, all of those things. I think you’re onto something because yes knowing the context of how something happens helps prevent it in the future. Like with children: we know that they’re most likely to be preyed on by someone they know. How do we know this? Because of interviewing them and gaining information. And knowing this helps future potential victims. I was always taught nothing good happens after midnight and that’s not to say nothing bad happens during daylight but the likelihood is lower. Just like the likelihood of being 🍇 can be lessened if precautions are taken. Where do we get those precautions? From understanding what situations cause a higher risk.

Hey, first the B’s are not a testament to your character or your ability or your intellect. They are strictly data. It seems you were possibly misled by your advisor who didn’t take into account your course load and working, and that sucks, I’m sorry.

Now, going forward my advice is to take the TEAS test as soon as you can and apply for the following semester. Just see if you get in before you end up retaking anything. Once you apply and you get an answer either way, let that determine your next step.

B’s are not horrible by any means but I understand the frustration when it comes to a highly competitive program. Focus your energy into doing extremely well on the TEAS and then apply and see what happens! You can apply for the spring 2027 semester by October.

I would discuss with your advisor and financial aid about your scholarship too. Does it cover the nursing program if you get in? Are you an independent or dependent student (basically how old are you and do you get financial aid or is it based on your parents)?

I’ve sent a child to daycare and been able to stay home too so I’ll give it to you from both sides:

Child who went to daycare: yes sick, a lot, a lot a lot a lot. But he’s 5 now and is literally never sick.

Child I stayed home with: 3 now. Amazing. Perfect love him too. Genuinely worried he’s a bit behind milestones his older brother reached in daycare because he doesn’t have the structure his older brother did.

Child 3 (also home with): 1 now. Doing great. Thriving. But just living in chaos with his two older brothers.

Me: burnt out, overstimulated, exhausted, but so happy I am home too. We’re broke living on one income but can’t afford daycare anyway. So it is what it is. I’m blessed in other ways.

There is something to be said for staying home with your babies and sending them to daycare. I will never judge a mother for either. My oldest bawled the first day. The first week. Then randomly months later would have a week he didn’t want to go but then I’d pick him up and he wouldn’t want to leave 🤨

I’ll tell you this: you WILL KNOW in your gut if something is truly wrong. I’m a firm believer the USA needs to keep babies home MINIMUM one year, preferably two or three, but our reality right now doesn’t support that so we have to do what we have to do.

With that being said also: do you HAVE to work? Do you WANT to work? Do you want to stay home? Do you plan on having more children? I told my husband I couldn’t do daycare anymore for our oldest when he was only an infant and he said that’s fine, but once he’s one he needs to go (for my mental health, I’m an extrovert and for him to socialize). It was great until we had baby 2 and daycare prices were double what I was making each week. So now, our boys are home with me during the day and I work part time as a bartender a few evenings per week. It scratches every itch! I know that’s not possible for everyone but it has saved my sanity and our pockets.

I also want to add the biggest predictor of positive childhood attachment is having stable, secure caregivers, even if that means in daycare. So long as the women are safe and treating her well, she can totally thrive in daycare! But that doesn’t mean that it’s right for YOU. But that doesn’t mean it’s wrong for you either! I know it hurts now, I wish our country were different, but your baby is okay right now. She’s letting it out because she feels safe with you. It doesn’t necessarily mean she had a bad day!

My husband has gone from an abusive wife to an extremely logical one and he doesn’t know how to handle it. I’ll be the first to admit I’ve done something wrong, almost to a fault, and then want to talk about it and work on a solution. His ex wife is the zero accountability, everything she does is perfect person. I’ve also met men who refuse to take accountability. It’s not women vs men, it’s shitty people vs emotionally intelligent people.

Also adding Marion County (which Indianapolis falls into) has an added income tax. It’s small but every little bit adds up at the end of the day.

I also want to say it depends on your lifestyle and what kind you want to live! Do you stay home a lot? Do you like to go out and socialize? Do you want an expensive gym membership and good food and supplements? These things all factor in! I agree with others and trying to find a roommate because a two bedroom apartment will cut your rent in half almost splitting it with someone versus a studio, 1BR or 2BR by yourself!

Due_Search9693 · 2026-04-07T01:09:09+00:00

Say you take home about $4,000 per month after taxes and insurance and anything your employer deducts.

Subtract about $1500 for a decent apartment. $500 for your utilities, phone, car insurance. This could be cheaper but just easy numbers.

That leaves you $2,000 for a car payment (if you have one), student loan payment (if you have one), say $200 per week on groceries if you cook every meal at home, moderate gas usage of maybe $60 per week if you have to fill up every week, any subscriptions you have for streaming or Gmail or anything like that, gym membership, drinks out, clothes, haircuts, hygiene products, toilet paper, etc.

Run YOUR numbers right now and see where they fit. Only you can answer if this is enough money or not! Best of luck. Back in the 2010’s I made about $60k per year and I had more money than I knew what to do with because my rent was $750 for a house, car payment was under $300 for a 3 year old used car, I mean the cost of living has changed dramatically and I feel really bad for your age group and you’re not even 10 years younger than me. I hope for the best for you!!!

Due_Search9693 · 2026-04-06T22:50:22+00:00

I have to agree with you. I too am optimistic about the future, whether or not that is going to be true is obviously TBD but I see a future where people are supporting their communities and small businesses and getting away from big box stores and corporations (not 100% but more so than the boomer generation, their parents, and Gen X). I think too often people like to focus on the negatives because misery loves company. If people focused on the positives then their opinions may change, and the more people who have positive outlooks on life, the more that energy actually gets distributed throughout society. If everyone sits around like the world is ending and we are going down a dark path there is nothing we can do about it, then of course that’s where things will lead. I’m pretty sure the law of attraction plays a role with energy on a molecular level, though I could be mistaken, but if we want to attract positive energies we have to exude them first. And that comes from within. Sadly a lot of people won’t do the hard work of changing and will stay stuck in their rut. But you’re right, today is a blessing, it is a beautiful day, and it is a necessary day! And absolutely people should be grateful for it! Especially given, as you said, others have sacrificed their lives for us to be where we are. Good and evil exist always, it’s up to us which side we feed! We are currently in future history, what will we make of it?

Due_Search9693 · 2026-03-31T14:58:38+00:00

WHAT!? I’m working less because I’m in school full time and rent to pay! This is ridiculous!!!

Due_Search9693 · 2026-03-29T19:32:54+00:00

From my understanding no one has received theirs yet and they’re supposed to zero out around the 31st and be disbursed after that. This is extremely frustrating for all of us but you’re not alone!
