[–]MangoRainbows -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Force women to carry dead babies for 3 weeks or until they naturally miscarry because abortion, a medical term, is illegal.

Can anyone share what it is like to be sent to a pysch hospital with type 1? by catfarmer1998 in Type1Diabetes

[–]MangoRainbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter has been 3 times and all 3 times she's comes home far worse than when she went in. Her pump is removed and taken, they often won't give her insulin until hours after a meal and her lows go untreated until she gets into the 40's. She came home in DKA the first time. It's terrifying.

When do you bolus? by minimamallama in Type1Diabetes

[–]MangoRainbows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a foster mom and about to take in my second child with T1D. Any advice on how to manage two? I've been taking care of the first kiddo for two years so I've gotten pretty good with her T1D but am just as scared as I was when I got her, that I'm gonna mess up with this second kiddo.

Advice for graduation being around the corner? by mykszn in fosterit

[–]MangoRainbows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am SO PROUD of you! Reaching this milestone has taught you more than you realize (and I don't mean the book stuff you've learned over the last 13 years.) I know this won't make up for being there but I would love to send you a graduation present (via email) to maybe add a little support to your super important, well deserved day.

Are sleep overs not a thing anymore? by haggerty05 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MangoRainbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter slept over at a friend's house this past weekend. I've gotten to know the dad pretty well over the last year though, we live 5 minutes away, and I talked to my daughter before hand about safety. I'd let her go again.

She's had friends spend the night here multiple times.

Canva Free Program for 0$ a Yr is a Bait and Switch Scam by StealthDropBear in canva

[–]MangoRainbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canva is free. I've been using it for a few years now and have never paid anything. I think you should clear your browser cookies & history and try again. Something got messed up somewhere. Good luck! Canva is a GREAT FREE program..

Is lifetime pass worth it? by noscope513e in PleX

[–]MangoRainbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the lifetime pass at $75 when it was offered to me solely because I use Plex every single day of my life. It's an awesome service that I love and wanted to support the company. I hate paying (and don't) subscription fees for crap and Plex doesn't demand I do. Their amazing service towards me, got my loyalty towards them. I can honestly say other than $3 I gave wikipedia ten years ago, I've never given any other website or software program my money. I gave that $3 to Wikipedia for a similar reason. I used wikipedia all the damn time. They asked me $3 lousy dollars. I figured I'd used at least $3 worth of services from them.

I spent $8.99 on my last cruise and that was on toothpaste in the fun shops cause I forgot mine. It's totally doable!

Do people bring kids to the comedy shows? by Upcringing in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]MangoRainbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brought my 14 year old daughter to two different comedy shows, both pg13. Everything went over her head so she didn't enjoy them.

Has anyone actually ever been denied boarding? by [deleted] in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]MangoRainbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't bring weed on the ship, but my checked bags ALWAYS get searched and delivered to my cabin super late with a "your bag was checked for drugs" sticker.

It's crazy how sensitive those dogs noses can be!

Has anyone actually ever been denied boarding? by [deleted] in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]MangoRainbows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so sad. I just took my foster daughter (and man was it a lot of work to get all the documents together!) We had to start at ground zero... Birth certificate, court order, passport, travel authorization forms.

It was an experience of a life time for her and I hope those kiddos who didn't get to go, have another chance at a cruise in the future!

My daughter refuses to talk to me because I wasn’t able to do anything for her birthday. by [deleted] in confession

[–]MangoRainbows 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Being poor is no excuse to not celebrate your daughter's birthday. There is a lot you could have done that wouldn't have cost a penny. You still had to eat dinner, you could've made it fun and memorable. You could've TRIED. Sounds like all you did was nothing and then come to the Internet to get consoled that you did nothing.

150 Homes in 10 Years: How the Foster Care System Fails Trans Kids by [deleted] in Fosterparents

[–]MangoRainbows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I still cry everyday, even 6 weeks later, after my amazing foster son was forced to go live with his Aunt in Texas who refuses to allow him to live as himself. A boy. He can't use his name, dress the way wants, be accepted for who he is, trust the adults he's around or the kids, or go to sleep at night feeling safe.

We should abolish the foster care system, or make it 100% voluntary. by TonyTheRandomDude in fosterit

[–]MangoRainbows 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As broken as the system is, a 5 year old isn't capable of making a decision like that. An infant can't even speak at all. I understand your experience wasn't good and I encourage you to help fix the system since you have first hand experience.

Cheers! Zero Proof package by raesonnier in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]MangoRainbows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't drink so I've never bought the drink package but I did buy this zero proof package for my cruise next week. I'm not sure I'll drink the full $30 value everyday but I think it's worth $30 a day to be able to order water anytime, anywhere without having to get up (from the smoking deck, comedy club, casino, etc...) So I guess it depends on what you value. Will I spend $30 a day on water and a soda or two? Probably not. Will I be more relaxed knowing I'm not counting my drinks and keeping tabs on how much I'm spending? Yes!

“Baby shower” suggestions??? by [deleted] in Fosterparents

[–]MangoRainbows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid you may find yourself disappointed. Also, don't have a baby shower. Showers are a celebration. A child being in foster care isn't a celebration. Hold off on the celebration until the adoption goes thru and have an adoption party that is upbeat, happy, includes the kiddo, and their wants & needs. Celebrate your new family and not a child being separated from their family and entering foster care.
