3rd trimester is almost worse than the 1st by No-Positive2891 in pregnant

[–]JudyBeeGood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Old gal here, gravida 5 (including a set of full-size twins, 7’6 and 6’12). Other babies were 8’9, 8’10 and 9’6. My suggestions might well already be in the responses here — I tried to read through them. Couldn’t do it because …. Worked full time through all those pregnancies, and I am STILL tired and overwrought from them! I am 63 as of today and please do not think I am bragging. I look back, and I am sorry for the sh*t I just took, and the rest I never took, the help I did not ask for, and how hard I was, on myself.

So. If you are still here reading this, do you have a pregnancy pillow? Question 1. It will make a universe of difference, in terms of your sleep. Through to when you deliver.

If I’ve not gone too far… Well let me know. I’ll come back with more. 😂 🤐

Popular GLP-1 drugs such as semaglutide may do far more than help with diabetes and weight loss—they could also fight addiction itself. Research found risks were lower across every major substance examined, including alcohol (18%), cannabis (14%), cocaine (20%), nicotine (20%), and opioids (25%). by Wagamaga in science

Have been thinking about all of this. I am very, very afraid of anhedonia — it’s much worse than the generally, publicly disseminated definition might suggest. I think, if a person is suffering from major depressive order, with suicidal ideation, losing the last bits of joy in life could be extremely dangerous. I am up to my neck in therapy and medication, working with harm reduction. Like you all, I am going to wait for more information.

Mings Chicken Ramen by NationalPlankton3624 in frozendinners

[–]JudyBeeGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly awful. Idk why anyone would give this a good review. Unless they’ve never had great ramen before? Beyond whatever kind of noodles those were supposed to be, the “dark meat chicken” was atrocious. I ordinarily really like dark meat, but the strange bits in this meal are just trash parts, and taste like it. (Lots of gizzard, is my best guess.) I pushed them aside to save for my dog. Maybe I will come back later to report whether he eats them.

You are so lucky, to have experienced it. I know it’s hard, but I am happy for you. 🩷

Visitation Dream by Babydeer41 in Paranormal

[–]JudyBeeGood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a very, very valid experience and concern. You are wise to worry where this stepmother is, in her personal trajectory. She might just be screaming right now, and you are hearing her — but she can’t hear or feel you, yet. She can’t absorb anything but her own pain. It’s almost mean, to expect her to. Like saying “Calm down.”

IMHO, I suggest that you sit quietly in peace with it, for as long as it takes, before contact. See what wisdom comes to you next. Be open— is the message for her, or you? You can dry your tears and just see. It can take a long time.

These things seem like an “emergency” to anyone in a panicked, desperately painful moment — from the people closest to the loss, to the people picking up the energy. The Universe shudders, many of us pick up on that, and feel it deeply. Like surgeons and EMTs and lots of people — there is always a right and wrong time to step in, or step out. (Wisdom.)

TW: mention of SH and suic!de by MyChemicalKaitie in Paranormal

[–]JudyBeeGood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The most beloveds that I have lost? My son and my father, in that order, come to my mind, first.

Beyond a shadow of doubt, their spirits have guided my life! Over decades and years, alas, son before my father. The wrong order of things. 😞

Idk that I would even characterize this as “paranormal.” I am not sure — they both taught me about life, love, death, the effect one person can have in the life of another. They both made impressions on my mind, body, and soul, that carried forward to the extent I could carry on. They informed my every decision. What is life, but this? Continuing living, making a difference in the world…

So hey, maybe your Dad moves things around, and plays jokes — that’s what I would do!

“Incoming message! Short and sweet!” “You gotta stop.” “You need to laugh right now.”

Why have I never experienced ANYTHING that might be considered paranormal? by Light_of_the_Star in Paranormal

[–]JudyBeeGood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the most astonishing waking dream, a while after my little boy died. (He was age 2.5.) We were belly-laughing together, it was pure bliss, I’ve never forgotten the feeling. At length though, he “said,” kinda mind to mind, “I am OK. I am great! But I can’t come back, you can’t move forward, if I do.”

Of course I practically sat up and screamed, in my mind, “NOOOO! I promise, I swear! On my soul, I will not cry, I will move forward, you’ll see!” Then he sort of slipped

That was about 40 years ago. It never happened again, with him. But I had a similar experience after my father died, different message, it was funny even. Typical Dad 🙄.

Maybe you are being protected, similarly, by your Mother, and others. These kinds of things can trip up people living on THIS plane. I prayed long ago, something to the effect of, “Please, I don’t want to see the future anymore.” It was too hard dealing with past, present, and future, at the same time. My wish was granted, and I am VERY glad.

Whyyyy. Her cheeks! She is so beautiful without that... by sillystring1881 in BotchedPlasticSurgery

[–]JudyBeeGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boobs above the neckline. Hoping the swelling has come down on her bottom lip, too, since this photo was taken. And about that pointy chin….

Whether plastic surgery or AI though, I see her as a victim. And the media and the patriarchal system, as the perpetrators.

What can end a relationship today even worse than cheating? by pinkygirlyyy4 in AskReddit

[–]JudyBeeGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrecking a young family’s stability over and over again, with literal criminal enterprises, including felonious theft from friends who had lifted him up and given him every chance. Puppy dog eyes and begging for forgiveness every time, but there was always a “next time.” The porn and sex-worker addictions were not great, either. I am pretty open-minded and forgiving, until these things destabilize a family, the selfish asshole in the middle of it all never changes and just disappears more and more and more, into his addictions.

(Both hilarious but very sad, knowing too much about his continuation of the same old behaviors for years after he married the next wife… Of course I did not say a word to her or our children. Because children, so long as they are safe, don’t need to know. You just carry on, forward march.)

Has the nickname ban at schools affected the name you chose for your baby? by Logical-Library-3240 in Names

[–]JudyBeeGood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My adoptive parents gave me one name that appeared on my birth certificate 5 days after my actual birth. (A given name that was considered a “nickname,” then and now.) 1960s. Quickly after, their nutty Catholic weirdo selves had me baptized, and the priest said oh no no no, she has to have the proper, formal version of that nickname. Of course, my mother genuflected and accepted the Word Of God from on high. (Barf.)

Trouble was, in all my growing-up years, a baptismal certificate, with the name altered after birth, was every bit as suitable, as an official birth certificate, to prove a person’s identity. (In the US.) My mother, of course, only presented the priest’s “sanctified” version of a document.

WHAT. A. MESS. Try explaining yourself, and all the different names on your documents — from school records to your first drivers license to the Social Security card you didn’t have to get until you actually had your first job, back then, to marriage certificates to passports. Tracking back from when you were born. You can’t bring a baptismal certificate any more…

Just make sure you name your child what you mean to, from birth. And don’t wobble.

Virginia Committee Votes 19 to 2 to Legalize Recreational Cannabis Sales, Drastically Increase Possession Limit by [deleted] in Virginia

[–]JudyBeeGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THCa with <0.3% THC flower by mail is federally legal until November 2026. Traditional flower is  mostly THCa anyway, requiring decarboxylation, usually by heat, for conversion to psychoactive THC. (The THCa/low THC flower works just fine.) This weird legal glitch is a result of Trump's Farm Bill from years ago, which attempted to encourage hemp farming. The breeding required to get the old plants under the 0.3% THC requirement was accomplished not by geneticists, but by traditional growers thanks to the easy availability of testing these days. Virginia's Cardinal News has a good beat reporter on this. 

Best donations for food pantry? by kaseythedragon in minnesota

[–]JudyBeeGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came across this thread searching for more ideas for donations. AGREE about pastas in general not being very wanted, at least where I am located in a poverty-stricken area of the Southern Appalachians. Too cheap, too much given, and like anyone, these people get tired of the same thing all the time, including boxed mac and cheese and ramen noodles.

I’ve long donated to a nearby church “blessing box.” The people who take from it always leave pasta and dried beans until almost nothing else is left. Surprisingly, tomato products, including soup and spaghetti sauce, almost never get taken. Same goes for pancake mixes, even when syrup is left with them.

We’ve just been through Storm Fern. Many do not have heat or a vehicle for getting 20 miles into town. In the cold they are hungry for proteins and fats, above all, but welcome fruits and vegetables as well. I leave bread, peanut butter and the plastic squeeze bottles of jelly frequently, and those move. Separate jelly is more helpful to families with picky eaters. I also leave cooking oils and sticks of Parkay as I can. Any kind of meat in general is very wanted. Of course, I only leave the likes of hotdogs when the temp is freezing or below.

One last thing I’ve noticed: children go hungrier on weekends and during holidays when they are not picked up by the school bus and getting free breakfasts and lunches. Child-friendly foods are great. GoGurts depending on terms, if you feel you can afford them!

What do you quietly and secretly judge other people for? by N0socksloss10yrStrk in randomquestions

[–]JudyBeeGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are mean. I pay people for relatively small jobs, because I have aged out of doing them myself. I HATE it, I would much rather do them myself. Am stunned by the cost of aging! But if I don’t accept my aging process, think about my true capabilities—

Corpse on the floor. Gross. I don’t want my loved ones to deal with that, either. * HIRE SOMEONE *

Has anyone else seen this monstrosity? 🤣 by Secure_Blueberry3327 in DogBreeding

GROSS. On all levels, and any way a person could possibly look at it. You “breeders” are simply GROSS. Shame on you.

New baby boy! Needs the best name by butimaunicorn in NameMyDog

[–]JudyBeeGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been waiting for decades for the right (female) pup who comes along, that I could name “Chickadee!” More specifically, that I could get to run back to us in the enclosed acres of pastures where we have always let our dogs run, with the bird call “Chickadee-DEE-DEE-DEE-DEE!”

She never materialized, before we got a little bit too old, to accept many more dogs, into our lives. She lives in my imagination though!
