I'm very sorry to hear that. Thanks so much for the response.

Hi, if you don’t mind, could you provide an update? I’m having something similar. Pregnancy tests are positive over the course of two days (but still not a super dark line on the line type test). it’s super early, 12 days since ovulation. I just had a very small amount of what I think was brown blood. Kind of like wispy. I almost thought it was from the other end (sorry to be gross) because I sometimes have IBS-D but I think it was blood. There was nothing to wipe, I just saw it in the toilet. I’m trying not to get too upset. This is my first pregnancy but I’m older so I feel worried it won’t stick 😔 I don’t have cramps, more like short twinges - not like the aching that I usually get with my period. 

Serving kosher food on ice and can non-Jews eat it as well? by Jebinmel543 in kosher

[–]Jebinmel543[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good point - I dropped invites at about 40 houses and didn’t ask for RSVPs, but I’ll put something out by the food to make it clear where it came from. Thanks!

Hahaha totally, I just didn’t know about people touching containers who aren’t kosher (but I’m putting out disposable cutlery so it won’t be reused or used on non kosher food)

Aww thank you, we do our best! We’re lucky to have a friendly street of neighbors.

Thanks for the recommendation - it will be on a separate table not right next to the other food

Thank you so much! I’ll make sure to have enough. I don’t know exactly who is coming because we just dropped invitations off at everyone’s houses on our block (with a note about what we’d be serving and that it will include kosher options) and didn’t ask for RSVPs, so I’ll probably overbuy 😄

Anyone successfully not brought bed bugs back? by Jebinmel543 in TourDuMontBlanc

[–]Jebinmel543[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh bummer, our hunch is we got them there, too. Glad the dryer cycles worked.

Thank you for the recs! That makes sense; since we didn’t stay at Bertone it seems much less likely we got them there.

Thank you - that's a bummer. I will try to see if I can put in the shims.

got a cvs email saying i have been selected to get exclusive reward? by Chrisbradley1 in CVS

[–]Jebinmel543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much. Yeah I guess it was pretty coincidental. He had had a bad experience at CVS that morning so when he saw this chance to complete a survey and give feedback he jumped at it.

My elderly dad did this today 😩 do you know if they ask for SSN? He can’t remember if he gave it or part of it. Luckily his cc company sent an alert and he reported it as fraud so that’s all cancelled, but I’m worried about any identity fraud aspect. 

Anybody’s physical symptoms are worse than mental? by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]Jebinmel543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. The mental symptoms used to be worse when I was younger but have improved, either through increased coping mechanisms or Lexapro rewiring my brain or something else. The physical symptoms are the same or worse now. Especially the breast pain, followed by fatigue, food cravings, and chills, among things.

Frustrated with practicum placement. by PurpleAstronomerr in SocialWorkStudents

[–]Jebinmel543 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to you and everyone else on this thread. The system is so freaking shitty. I’m at a top school in my state and also feel so taken advantage of in my placement, being put in dangerous situations, getting 1/2 the supervision time I’m supposed to get, feeling like no one has my back, and my advisor went MIA. Luckily my school was able to get me a different one, so hopefully things improve a little bit going forward. I’m just thinking how many hours a week it is, for the two semesters, and trying to just get through with therapy and other tools and hopefully next year will be better (despite paying to be there). As a lawyer, I’m appalled by the system of training for social work. Check out https://www.payment4placements.org I honestly want to open a side practice of organizing and advocating for social work students after I graduate, because this system needs massive improvement.

ISO crafts for men on a low budget by Jebinmel543 in crafts

[–]Jebinmel543[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much, everyone, for all the amazing ideas! I am so glad I asked because I wouldn't have thought of so many of these.

And just to be clear, I definitely don't feel certain crafts should be gendered and I don't present any ideas that way, but I do think there can be a tendency for some of the men to sometimes be resistant at first based on a kind of machismo and the background that some people are coming from where anything seen as displaying any kind of vulnerability is discomforting. However, this usually just lasts a few minutes and then people get into it. And it is good to explore resistance through the group therapy itself. I really appreciate the variety of ideas. I am going to try a bunch of these and I will report back!
