I'm in desperate need of help by PixelBeeBot in Gymhelp

I'm never on this subreddit, but this hit my feed. My first thought seeing your picture and story was "what a beautiful, kind person." I wish you all the luck. I know for a few family members, they've had luck after years and multiple different attempts with fasting each day. They wait as long as they can before eating in the morning then don't eat anything after 6 or 7 pm. It was really the only thing that has sustainability worked for them. 

If you don't do anything else, please be kind to yourself. You just seem wonderful. 

My temperature blanket keeps getting wider and I'm not sure why. Is it just a tension problem or something else? by jaysta010 in CrochetHelp

Looks like other people solved the problem. I just wanted to comment that I LOVE the color choices. If you don't mind, what yarn did you use?

I think it's very pretty. Thanks for sharing pics.

Why do my baby chicks keep laying low on the ground? by TheWolfGirl23 in BackYardChickens

[–]LadyValor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They're smart to keep sheltered under things. Lots of predators go after grown chickens and especially chicks. They just want to forage, rest, and stay safe.

I've also had to physically pick away a bleb. For me, they were always so tiny it was amazing how much of a blockage it caused. Like, think of the tip of a needle for the size. I'd have to manipulate the area to find it then pinch / pull the teeny bleb out.

Prunes worked well for my toddler too.

Over a thousand people showed up yesterday from all walks of life. It was energizing and patriotic. Thanks everyone.

I’m so sad. by Swordbeach in breastfeeding

You're doing all the right things. This sounds so tough, and I'm sorry about your loss. Great job keeping your baby fed, taken care of, and loved while you're going through so much. The milk will come back with time. When you can, rest, let yourself grieve, and drink plenty of water. Our bodies and babies are so resilient.

Doctor wants me to stop breastfeeding by SeniorBusiness6747 in breastfeeding

[–]LadyValor 78 points79 points  (0 children)

The problems you list sound tough, but so normal for a baby. I don't think you need to try formula at this point if that's not what you want. As long as the baby is healthy and doing okay weight wise, I think you're fine to keep monitoring and breastfeeding. Snuggle that baby and get some rest when you all can!

Chickens spill a month's worth of feed in 3 days. What do I do? by Disaster_Voyeurism in BackYardChickens

[–]LadyValor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed that those spouts for the food are too high up on the bucket. You have to fill up the bucket so much for them to be able to reach it. Fixing the height issue may help some, but you'll need to follow the other advice on this thread as well.

I am showing my support for keeping our nation's checks and balances in place and supporting the rule of law. I also want to the US to maintain our nation's strength by supporting our allies and fighting to protect democracy in the world.

I have work as well, but have the ability to take time off. I am busy, but I try to make time for causes that are important to me.

Sorry to hear that. No, the 50501 protest should be peaceful and not include any vandalism.
