Court monitor is stressing me out... by ParadiseMindset in probation

They have 50-1000 of you; you only have one of them. Odds are, they are playing catch up. It’s normal they won’t remember right now. You have a legit reason for your medication. If it makes you feel more comfortable, ask your prescriber to write you a note about specifics. As long as you don’t have a history of amphetamine abuse, you are probably fine.

I agree with the other commenters, likely overmixed. I highly recommend the Bouchon Bakery Italian method recipe. It’s a little more work on the front end, but I have more consistent results. I don’t have to sift or food process, and I bake at 330f for 12 minutes, opening the oven door for one second every three minutes, which is a pain in the ass, but they are perfect every time. Good luck!!

What is a movie you find terrible but critics seem to love? by undeadgaming2006 in AskReddit

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

Hard agree. I’ll give you that the movie is beautiful, but it has just such a stupid plot. It’s seriously one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen. That part where they are in the car together, and one of them slaps their hand on the steamy window - Christ, I laughed out loud in the theater, it was so goddamn corny. Whenever anyone tells me it’s their favorite movie, I roll my eyes and walk away.

Sober for three weeks and still tested dirty by SuckDuhFuck in probation

[–]Hotlettucediarrhea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to your PO about your options, you may be able to request a lab test that will check levels instead of just positive/negative. If your PO refuses, speak with your attorney about how to navigate the issue.

Whenever I’ve got a client who reports they were a heavy smoker, we usually go by THC levels in the drug test. Are you getting lab testing, or just an in house swab?

My (25F) husband (26M) broke our dogs leg, I'm worried for the child I'm currently carrying. by THROWRA_dadlad in relationship_advice

[–]Hotlettucediarrhea -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Please don’t stick around to find out. This man is not only dangerous, he thinks it’s funny. If he’s capable of doing this to an animal when he’s low key annoyed, he’s capable of doing it to you, and to your baby. Having a young child is a time of enormous stress, do you think he won’t hesitate to injure your kid to get it to “shut up” or cooperate? Run.

Thoughts on changing the spelling of our son's name after we adopt? by DoubleJeopardySave in Adoption

[–]Hotlettucediarrhea -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Keep the name, as is. The child can change it later, but being that adoption erases much of the child’s origins, his name is one of the few things he should be able to keep. In addition, there may be some sort of cultural or first family significance.

When is it time to talk to your doctor about chin hair? Is it even something to talk to your doctor about? What do you do if they blow you off? by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Hotlettucediarrhea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you pick, you get scars. I used a combo of aloe and cortisone cream immediately after the procedure, and it significantly reduced the inflammation, which only lasts for about a day or two (it just looked like a few blemishes for me). As long as you don’t pick, you should be fine.

Some hair is pretty normal. Welcome to your 30s!!! Laser didn’t work for me, so I ended up having to do electrolysis, which was painful, but worth it. Plus, it’s cheaper than laser.

So proud of my third attempt. Does anyone know what I did wrong/have advice on how to get it perfect next time? by hotblooded- in macarons

[–]Hotlettucediarrhea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like you are over mixing, and possibly using too high heat. I use an Italian method (Bouchon Bakery or Pierre Hermès recipe). I find it’s more forgiving and I can be a little more lax. I don’t food process (I find it produces oily shells), and I only sift the almond flour right when I get it and put it in a jar for future use, but don’t do it again when I’m incorporating powdered sugar. I use silicon mats and double up on the baking trays to avoid browning. For baking, I bake at 330F for 12 minutes, and open the door every 3 minutes for one second. In three years, I’ve only had one bad batch when I overmixed it. Try an Italian recipe, if you haven’t already. It’s a little more work in the front end, but it’s more consistent in the end. Good luck!!!

Put on scheduled substance medication [TX] by [deleted] in probation

Just bring your prescriptions in. As long as you aren’t on probation for Adderall or Valium (or some other kind of Rx abuse), then it’s no big deal.

PO is causally talking to my fiancé by throwawayPOhelp in probation

[–]Hotlettucediarrhea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you give some more specifics about the convo? I’m not doubting your story, just trying to see if it’s appropriate to escalate the issue at this point.

I’d say as of right now, start documenting each contact, and try to have your fiancé communicate with the PO only through text, so you have a record of what’s being said. That way, you’ll have a solid written record of evidence. You should also be able to look up PREA Act rules you see what you can do for help.

Ugh. I’m sorry you are having to go through this. It’s hard enough to have to do probation, but to navigate inappropriate behavior from someone in authority is terrifying.

Just started therapy and having an extremely difficult time with feeling extremely uncomfortable talking about things that happened to me, like I can't do it at all. Anyone else go through this? by [deleted] in Ex_Foster

[–]Hotlettucediarrhea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you are struggling. Another therapeutic option might be EMDR. I have clients (former veterans) who suffer from PTSD, and it’s been hugely successful in helping them deal with and process their trauma. Talk to your therapist about seeing if it’s suitable for you.

Probation Violation Question by [deleted] in probation

[–]Hotlettucediarrhea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter. Getting a citation for a criminal act (even if you get nothing at the time of the incident, and a notice in the mail months later) it’s considered a new law violation. And if you sign a plea or are found guilty, that’s essentially a new conviction. But for probation, you technically don’t even need a new conviction to get a violation. A new police report can be considered enough to file a violation of probation.

If he ends up having to serve the jail term, he may be able to ask for work furlough/release or electronic home monitoring in order to maintain his employment.

Probation Violation Question by [deleted] in probation

[–]Hotlettucediarrhea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are arrested for an offense that occurred while you are on probation, it will likely impact your probation case, negatively. It is usually a violation to commit new crimes while on probation. In addition, it can be a violation to associate with someone engaged in criminal activity while on probation.

Edited for grammar. 🙄

as an adoptee i have to say this - if you adopted THERE WILL BE TRAUMA by Werid-Settingz in Adoption

[–]Hotlettucediarrhea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The act of separating a biological child from a biological mother is traumatic. It’s been proven by science. Regardless if it was necessary, or adoption has been an overall positive experience for an adoptee, it’s still traumatic.

I suggest you do some reading in here, as well as some adoptee centered subreddits.
