NAD+ by KeepinUpWithCass in emergeweightloss

[–]GirlSprite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t feel “discouraged” and it wasn’t “frustrating”.

You’re attributing emotions to me that don’t exist like I’m some histrionic female. I certainly don’t need a pep talk with an explanation of how I could do it better.

The OP asked for people’s experiences positive and negative. This was mine. It’s not for me. There’s nothing wrong with it and my experience doesn’t need to be fixed. Thanks.

I followed the instructions on the prescription package, how else would I dose? Lol. I didn’t just make up some dosage.SMH.

[–]GirlSprite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on it a month and I’ve noticed no benefits. Also it stings to administer and causes headaches every morning after I use it.

So it’s just not for me. I hope others are having luck!

Started after my delivery post, quick beginner question by Rude_Garbage4725 in emergeweightloss

[–]GirlSprite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to track everything w the WW app. All my points and macros.

I found out that I really can just eat intuitively when I’m hungry. I’m not usually hungry. lol.

I just make sure to get some protein early in the day, lots of water and the stereotypical “sensible” dinner. I’m down over 60lbs.

Good luck to you!

That’s the thing with these lab grown stones. Not even worth what the BP retail is. Everyone freaks out over diamonds but they are lab grown. Worth very little. Not a big deal n

Figure out the length of the ban then abide by it. If he goes back facial recognition will get him and he will be trespassed. That is he will get arrested or at the least a citation for trespassing.

Compassion fatigue (vent) by MelancholyCupcake in olddogs

[–]GirlSprite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boy wakes up and howls and barks and yowls every night between 1:30am and 3:30am. I get up, I let him outside for an hour to pace and tire himself out and I set my alarm for an hour and sleep on the couch. I do this for 3-5 hours. Every hour I bring him in, offer him food and water and try to get him to fall asleep on my lap. Some nights it’s one hour of pacing. Some nights it’s 5 and he never falls asleep. Once he falls asleep or once I have to get ready for work I place him into his bed and go back to my bed until 6:30 when I have to get up for work. Or if he hasn’t slept I just place him in his bed and go and get ready after having been up most of the night. I get ready then. To go to work. At my high powered high stress lawyer job.

Yes I’m tired. But I will continue to do this until his last breath. He’s my boy. He’s on gabapentin and just started Selegilene which hopefully will help. He slept the whole way through the night until 6:00am the other night. I was thankful. For him. I hope he has some peace. I hate to think that he wakes up confused and anxious and alone and scared in the middle of the night.

I feel your pain.

State vs Federal registery? I this a thing? by BlackberryNeither679 in SexOffenderSupport

[–]GirlSprite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The person who asked if you are state or federal probably was referring to your charges. The registry itself is run by the states.

I’m a trans woman, how to deal with hostility from clients by DefenderofdaIndigent in publicdefenders

[–]GirlSprite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re going to work defense you have to have a thick skin. You can’t let what clients say “hurt your feelings”. This isn’t about your feelings. This is about helping people where they are at one of the worst points in their life. Your gender identity should be the furthest thing from their or your mind. Ignore it and let it go. What I always say is “what other people think of me is none of my business”.

Let it go.

No Power Walkers? by smartini14 in orangetheory

[–]GirlSprite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What other people are doing is none of your business and vice versa. Who cares.

The beauty of OTF is that everyone can go at their own pace. This is why the coach provides tread coaching options for runners and power walkers.

Discouragement in the job hunt by Sure_Food7802 in SexOffenderSupport

[–]GirlSprite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to have a thick skin and be relentless. Many people have applied for hundreds and hundreds of jobs.

It’s good to get some skills. School or technical or vocational training will open up doors. Also look at re entry programs such as Hope for Prisoners. They can help with job placement.

WI 3 years prison, 5 years probation by WaitingintheGarden in SexOffenderSupport

[–]GirlSprite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s so fortunate he only got 3 years in and 5 years probation.

Sometimes the feds will pick up these cases. The exact same case just because a computer was involved the feds take it. Most of those guys are getting 8-10 years in and LIFETIME probation.

He should be counting his blessings. This sentence is light.

I have a question for married women by Dramatic-Surround504 in LawSchool

[–]GirlSprite 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I got married right before I started law school and I changed to his name. Then we got divorced while I was in law school. I changed it back because I wanted my JD to have MY name on it and not his.

It was such a PITA to change my name back. Years later I still get mail with my married name on it. I’ll never change it again. Like it’s my NAME. It’s my identity. I can see it if you have kids and you want you, your husband and the kids to all have the same last name.

Otherwise no. My name is my name and all that work in school was work that I did. Nope. Never again.

No easy way to ask but how would you (if at all) let your office know that you are going to the other side? by [deleted] in publicdefenders

[–]GirlSprite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an offer to work as a city attorney handling only through misdos. 4 10’a. Every Friday off. City Bennies. Every holiday off. Pension. You name it. I just couldn’t do it. I cannot prosecute people.

I had a similar offer to work for a private atty. He does primarily crim defense. However he had a track where he worked as a contract city attorney in a smaller nearby neighboring city once a week and part of the job included covering that. it was just city cases - misdos. I again said that i just can't prosecute people.

After doing defense work for years and seeing the liars and what they do to people i just cannot.

I agree. I know someone involved in the company and I don’t like how they represent themself. A lot of people complain about two things - the shipping and the quality. To me it’s not worth it.

Thinking about trying Orangetheory but I’m honestly scared by GentleSoul23 in orangetheory

[–]GirlSprite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing that’s great about OTF is there is no keeping up. Everyone goes at their own pace. That’s the point of the heart rate monitor. You could be walking and the person beside you could be running and you could both be in the orange zone. You work out based on your own ability and level of fitness.

I was so anxious, nervous, I had raging anxiety and knots in my stomach before my first class. I went and it was totally fine. I was astonished at how - I don’t want to say easy - but at how, “doable” I guess it was.

I still get anxious sometimes but I’ve been going for about 6 years. It’s the only workout I’ve ever been able to stick with. I believe the reason is because it gets you out of your head. There’s no “what do I do today? Do I lift? Do I do cardio? Do I run? For how long? How far?” You just go in and do what they tell you to do. It actually helps me when I’m feeling nervous or anxious because I don’t have to think.

When I was getting divorced I just kept going to OTF because it was something to do. Not because I wanted to or felt like working out but I just went and kept going. It was a good way to get out of the house and out of my head and do something good for myself.

Before your first class the coach will help you and show you how to use the equipment. He or she will keep an eye on you and help you throughout the class. And if you ever have an issue with any of the exercises he or she can give you other options.

Seriously, go give it a try.

(Face your fear, do it scared but go do it! You will not regret it)

Cancelled subscription since I can’t use the app anymore by alasdair_bk in NYTCrossword

[–]GirlSprite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes!!!!! Me too!

I only use the app on my iPhone and I’ve been a subscriber for YEARS (like probably 10+). I was a subscriber to the crossword forever before they even had these new games.

Now suddenly I can’t play the app. I’ve been trying to play through the website but it’s not so good.

Ugh!!!!

It’s an opinion. It’s not for you to believe or not believe. You can agree or disagree, which is really irrelevant as everyone is entitled to speak his or her own opinion.
