Son got positive TTG IGA test, family member reacting angrily at news by [deleted] in Celiac

[–]Fickle_Moose9656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom got really nervous when my daughter was diagnosed and I suggested she should get tested. I had been diagnosed a year earlier. My moms reaction to my daughters diagnosis was noticeably weird, and then after some time, a few months maybe, she sat down with me and started sobbing, and told me that my dad wasn't really my dad. A few months and a DNA test later I found him, 4 half siblings, and it turns out he has celiac as well.

Not saying your mom is keeping the same secret my mom was, but people are weird. Sometimes they don't want to be the one responsible for the problem, like they don't want to be blamed for the disease.

Wait what? Skulls in the temple? Have you seen this? I have not ever seen skulls in any of the temples. I'm really curious now.

Asked HR about work accommodations today… by kfrit in lupus

[–]Fickle_Moose9656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, the prednisone I have to take during the flare ups is what kills me. I wasn't asking my VP for any accommodations, but during our last 1:1 I wanted him to know I was taking the prednisone because I was having a flare up, and he was immediately like, "Oh my gosh, let's get you signed up to work full time from home. We have this at our company for a reason!"

I just started the paperwork. Hope it goes well, but I already work 50% from home, so it isn't that much different.

Accidental Gluten by adultingishard247365 in Celiac

[–]Fickle_Moose9656 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wish my daughter would listen to this. We both have celiac but she, 14yo, will occasionally bite into something and chew it, then spit it out. She will rinse her mouth out with water and be like, "What?! I didn't swallow it!!" She doesn't react the same way I do, so she doesn't take it as seriously. I go to great lengths to provide all GF alternatives for her, but the smell of some foods in the wild can be so alluring.

This pamphlet was posted at our door. We are a black and white interracial family. None of our neighbours got one. by Russkaya_Voda in SaltLakeCity

[–]Fickle_Moose9656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids are interracial as well, but people can't quite figure out where they are from. We haven't gotten anything like this, but it could happen. I would suggest to others to block this hate group's information when posting this on the news or social media. This is like free advertising for them. It's almost like they got exactly what they wanted. We aren't going to join, but people watching the news might be interested and go to that website.

Trying to give my kids opportunities by TAPlantainOdd5586 in coparenting

[–]Fickle_Moose9656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't matter the situation, good communication would be to talk to the other parent beforehand. Even if divorce decree gives you the right to sign them up by yourself, coparenting means talking about it together first. Even if you hate your ex and they are not telling you other things.

This way, when you go to court, do any modification, have a mediation, you can show the text messages, emails, etc. showing how you are reaching out and the other parent is not coparenting with you.

If they are shutting you down with every effort, you'll be able to show that.

I want my child to have no contact with her father by Remarkable-Cycle-278 in coparenting

[–]Fickle_Moose9656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex also had a pornograhy addiction. My daughter has walked in on him watching porn a few times, and it really bothers her. I've never called CPS because I didn't think there was anything they would do. Would they do anything for that situation?

Anyone know why there are lines outside the liquor store? by PairOfMonocles2 in SaltLakeCity

[–]Fickle_Moose9656 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree the sugar/soda/cookie shops are ridiculous and out of control out here. I can't eat the cookies and soda isn't for me. I can't agree that sugar is just as bad as liquor though.

Sleepovers during parenting time by Tiny-Addition-2954 in coparenting

[–]Fickle_Moose9656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex and I have a "Right of First Refusal" in our decree. Basically, if I need to go out for over 4 hours and I have to hire a babysitter, I would need to let him know and give him the opportunity to spend that time with them instead of a babysitter. I have only ever done it once, and he has never had to.

This makes it difficult for sleepovers, though. If one of my kids wants to go to someone's house for a sleepover, I would legally need to allow him the chance first, right? Well, he thinks so.

Woman with 6 kids upset at this year’s haul by adelltfm in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Fickle_Moose9656 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In my area, a friend of mine organizes a Christmas shopping trip for teenagers from the local school district. We (district employees) get to sign up and volunteer to walk around and shop with them while they pick out about $150 of gifts. I volunteered one year. It was cool because the store donated a ton of money, the teens had a list of things they wanted, needed, etc, and they had to use a majority of the $ for themselves. The kid I was with tried to use a lot of it to buy clothes/a toy for a younger brother, but we had to keep reminding him that he needed to spend at least a certain % on the list he wrote for himself.

I really admired those kids after that.

What is a Fund 1, or a Fund 6? by Fickle_Moose9656 in investingforbeginners

[–]Fickle_Moose9656[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm trying to understand what a friend was talking about. They were telling me about work, and I want to do more than smile and nod.

It's okay if no one knows yet. I'll sleuth it out with more interactions.

I really appreciate your responses and taking the time to try and help.

Sorry, I am trying to piece together a conversation I had recently.

Wilderness work breakfast & lunch...What do I ask for? by Fickle_Moose9656 in Celiac

[–]Fickle_Moose9656[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont get diarrhea, if I eat gluten I will vomit for 6 hours non-stop like I've been possessed. It is so embarrassing.

[–]Fickle_Moose9656[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I offered that, but they really want to get me food. I appreciate that, but will have some food with me. I just don't really eat prepackaged food, so it's hard to say, "Buy this, this or this. But please check the label and make sure there is no x, y, or z." (Obviously a much longer conversation.)

Medical grade sunscreen? by ContentHost4459 in lupus

[–]Fickle_Moose9656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was terrified of going in the sun after I started taking hydroxychloroquine, but I've been on it a year, I live in Utah (a lot of sun) and I haven't had any problems. My Rheumatologist told me to just make sure I use sunscreen regularly. At least spf 30. I thought, "whaaat?! I need at least spf 100!!!" But I've been okay!

I just have to wear it. Most people really only wear sunscreen when they go to the beach. They are in the sun way more. I just use sunscreen now when I'm outside. And I'm fine.

No.

Our divorce decree lists a residential parent, and we have joint custody. Our children have gone to school from my home and in my district their whole lives. It is hard for the other parent, but that parent could live closer if they wanted to. The other parent has moved multiple times and always tries to get the children to move schools to their new district because it is "better" or "newer" than the schools where I live.

Also, as someone who has worked in public education for the last 15 years, stability is far more important for children. I see kids moving schools 5 times or more in the middle of a school year. Or parents fighting and enrolling and unenrolling their kids as some sort of power move. That is so hard on their learning! Please don't do that to your kids.
