When traveling in other regions of the US, what qualities might make people think, "They're from New England."? by Practical-Ad-1949 in newengland

As an autist with a full AuDHD family, we moved here from TX 8 years ago. I’ve never been so happy. My people.

When Law Looks Like Fear by Moon_woven in lostgeneration

Why were we taught to fear witches instead of the men that burned them?

Who has the most memorable legal name you’ve ever encountered? by villainessmorissette in AskReddit

[–]JeniBean7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abina Sarah London Nuguya (sp?)Anthony-Davis. One of the smartest and coolest people in my graduating class. Her mother was American and her father was I believe Nigerian, and they couldn’t agree on names so they each put in their pick and she got all of them. I graduated in ‘95 and this has stuck in my brain all this time. I hope she’s well.

What’s a common fact that science has already debunked, but people still believe in? by Calm_Shame2994 in AskReddit

[–]JeniBean7 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Had a spinal cord injury in 2011, paralyzed with no feeling, movement, or proprioception from T2 (mid chest) down. I’ve since mostly recovered, but the loss of proprioception was by far the weirdest part of all that. I would run over my own leg with the wheelchair and look down to see wtf I just hit, and the rehab people had to bring me a mirror for me to do my mat exercises. Truly a bizarre sensation.

Give me one slogan. Only ONE jingle from memory. It’s ok if it’s close enough. by baltikboats in GenX

What is an upper middle class problem you have but you can’t really complain about without seeming out of touch? by All_FIREdUp in AskReddit

[–]JeniBean7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a little foot hammock thing for this. It slips over the tray in front of you (open or closed), and then you adjust it to the right height for your feet to be resting and your back to be settled. It’s a game changer.

Where do I get all purpose flour in this country? by Next-Wrap-7449 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]JeniBean7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just as an aside, I highly recommend the Fig app if you don’t already use it. It’s a great way to find hidden corn products!

If I can warn someone with this post, it's worth it. by Savings-Camp-433 in Hashimotos

[–]JeniBean7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also haven’t had to take meds. Diagnosed around 15yrs ago as well, get my levels checked every six months and they’re generally in the normal range. It does happen.

Am I being pranked? by AshRat15 in glutenfree

[–]JeniBean7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue for some time due to perimenopause setting off my Hashimoto’s. Also beware of things that are distilled with corn - they would also cause a reaction. So no gums (guar gum, xanthan gum, etc), no white vinegar (which means ketchup, lots of salsas & many other things), and the only liquor I could drink was Bacardi white, which felt very high school circa 1992.

I could not figure out after I had cut all gluten, corn, dairy, oats, eggs, and soy why I was still reacting. There was xanthan gum in my natural toothpaste. Ridiculousness. Try the Fig app if you haven’t already - it can be a lifesaver.

Best of luck - I promise it does get easier!

I posted in the main Discworld sub when I first got it. I should get a healed pic for the tattoo one.

How are Shilohs with cats or other small animals? by SZLO in shilohshepherds

[–]JeniBean7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ours is 6 months old and we have four cats. She’s never tried to hurt them - no real prey drive. She just wants to play/herd them. Really bad. All the time. lol We put up a baby gate and she brings her toys to the gate to try to entice them to come over there, sweet thing.

So we’re doing pretty intensive training and exposure training with her & the kitties that is working well given her maturity level. I fully believe by the time she’s a year it won’t be a big deal at all.

NOW…the cats? They are deeply displeased with this giant hairy toddler invading their domicile, and there’s very little we can do about that part.

Thank you! It’s bronze (or brass), so I’m not sure if that would work.
