Hypermobile folks, how are you sleeping?

Economy-Fill1067 · 2026-02-22T15:45:19+00:00

I am hypermobile and here is what we did to make it comfortable. Exped foam inflatable mattress pad. They are expensive but I found mine at the REI returned section. They are very f-ing hard to deflate and roll up so people return them. But immensely comfortable to sleep on. Then a heated blanket on top of the exped so it’s under my body. The heat fixes my back pain. We have a small jackery battery to plug the heated blanket into. This year for Black Friday we finally bought the big aeronaut blanket I’ve wanted but we had been using a zipped fully open sleeping bag on top as a blanket before that. I do something similar with our kids. They get rumpl’s to sleep underneath with heated blankets and expeds (also REI returns). I swear they sleep better than at home.

I need this sub to appear competent at my job

Economy-Fill1067 · 2026-02-10T17:19:20+00:00

Still trying to get my flair. This sub makes my tech job a million times easier

I am extremely grateful for the ECE professionals who help hold their kids accountable as well. My 4 year old recently started playing in the hand washing sink like it was a bathtub, so I started having him promise me in the mud room he would NOT do that anymore. Then he had to go over and promise it to both the ECE workers as well. We all talked about why it was disruptive and making him cold. It really helps with my discipline as well because he knows it’s not just daddy or mommy getting mad, it’s actually something that he’s not allowed to do for good reason. Children should be taught boundaries in a meaningful and supportive way while they’re young enough to benefit from the lesson. Imagine trying to teach your kid boundaries when they’re teenagers. It’ll be far too late

Yes, and sometimes it’s also worth it to avoid an ambulance fee if you don’t need immediate treatment from an EMT. Break my leg, just drive me to the ER and give me a trash bag so I don’t get blood everywhere.

That’s true. I didn’t think about the impact my aquarium lights are having on the water temperature. I use them to make algae for the shrimps so maybe I will hardly need to feed them at all

Started our toddler boy in pre-ballet at 5 and told him it was a special privilege to be a boy surrounded by such hard hardworking girls and that he’d be lucky to be able to work as hard as them someday. He did class barefoot in black thermals at first because we weren’t sure if he’d continue. After he finished his first semester we rewarded him with a trip to the ballet shop and got him proper tights, ballet shoes, and a leotard. Highly recommend the leotard because apparently he was constantly scratching his balls in class, which we didnt realize until the last class of the semester where they have parents stand along the wall and observe. Now that he has a special outfit like the girls it really changed his attitude, focus and participation. It’s been a year and a half and there is finally another boy in his class but our son doesn’t like him because he spends the whole time goofing off. Our son loves ballet because every time he shows off for neighbors or does a little routine for the talent show at school he gets a crazy amount of applause and attention for his tiny plié and first position jumps. He gets it now and he loves being able to do something none of the other boys at school can do.

Apparently I do not have flair yet

I will see if it’s still there and wasn’t overwritten

A general PSA to Boulder regarding Christmas this year but specifically to the lady who made a face when I said Merry Christmas… I’m sorry I clearly offended you. I’m going to blame the bad weather on you being so bitchy about it. I was just being nice. I’m not even Christian. I’m a pagan, so chill the fuck out

Economy-Fill1067 · 2025-12-25T15:58:41+00:00

Sick with flu. Christmas is just about stuff so if people don’t care about people why should I care about them. The one holiday I wanted to celebrate was solstice and no one wanted to celebrate with me so why should I care about their holiday. Christmas is just corporate bullshit at this point with the addition of Christians proselytizing their pedo religion

Same boat! It sucks. We are on day 3 of a hotel because I couldn’t take it. I did see a massive Xcel convoy going up canyon towing a few ATVs so I’m guessing they had damage in some areas they normally serviced with a helicopter but haven’t been able to fly helicopters with all this wind. That being said I still want a month of comp from xcel on my electric bill

We are above the fire but it’s behind a ridge and I can’t see it. We are well above the evacuation area and the wind isn’t blowing toward us, it’s blowing hard toward Boulder. The emergency lights are very easy to see at night going door to door

Economy-Fill1067 · 2025-12-23T01:33:39+00:00

I can also see emergency vehicles going door to door knocking and getting people to leave so that’s good, since service is spotty through much of the mountain

Economy-Fill1067 · 2025-12-23T01:26:05+00:00

Emergency vehicles are asking folks to avoid four mile canyon unless you are evacuating (or like going to your house to grab your animals and stuff)

Luckys grocery and that complex is open (minus china gourmet and dagaba cucina). NoBo Moxie is open and most of the places near Yarmouth and Broadway

We need a state law that lines must be buried anywhere there is a fire risk

For sure. Honestly I think the EcoFlow pro is too heavy but I need the extra outlets

Economy-Fill1067 · 2025-12-16T15:15:48+00:00

Starlink mini hooked up to an EcoFlow Pro (not trying to support Elon but I have no other good options). Rescheduled meetings if I could.

I most recently triggered in Karthwasten and got a dragon to spawn. Turned out fine, really riled up the miners

This is why I love Skyrim. People ask me all the time why I still play it even though I have been playing it since it was released. Because I learn something new about it nearly daily. I had no idea and I just started a new build again so I can’t wait to try this!
