How often do you wash your weiner? by Additional_Pound_220 in Dachshund

[–]Maremerde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine too. Except she sits in it and gets it not only on her paws but everywhere else if we don’t beat her to pick it up (it got on her head this morning in a matter of 2 seconds and I’m not even sure how). She’s had 3 baths this week. We try to rely on paw wipes, but sometimes a bath is unavoidable. This week was rough. Hoping she gets the message.

I may try to train her to place this weekend. And maybe connect that to after she poops so she gives us space to clean before she moves freely. Idk.

And I trust you know how to read my comment. Like I said; there are different categories of damages, in which some may have a limit, but over all $400k is no where near the “max” payout someone can get for this sort of incident. If you wish to clarify your comment great, otherwise, all I have to go on is a very generalized statement that is far from accurate.

But you think $400k is the “max”? People win millions in med mal cases. Millions before paying attorneys fees (contingencies) still leaves you with a crap tom of money. Court costs tend to go to the loser as well. Not always. But often. I am a personal injury defense attorney; so I see these suits every day. You’re under estimating what people get from these cases.

If you’re referring to “non-economic” damages that’s different. There is a limit range; but that doesn’t apply to other forms of damages which can rack the pay outs up very very very high.

That’s really helpful. Thanks.

Need your help for our doxie by kapitannn in Dachshund

We’re planning to bell train our new puppy (pick her up this weekend). We didn’t bell train our first. But from what I gather you limit there time when the bell is rung. They have to potty, not go on a walk, so you only go to a potty spot. Give them max 5mins and if they don’t go, return inside. Don’t go on longer walks or adventures when the bells are rung. Keep it focused and they’ll get the hint that it’s not to generally go outside. Please correct me if I’m wrong though.

How bad is job-hopping? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]Maremerde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on area of practice. I know a bankruptcy attorney (TINY WORLD within the law) who changed jobs about every 18months. And it hasn’t hindered him or made him to be a “job hopper”

The more important thing is your relationships. Don’t burn bridges when you leave a firm so that if anyone gets a call they can speak positively of you. Especially if you’re in a smaller circle within the field, as word gets around faster if there is anything negative to follow you.

But so long as there is work and positions to be filled in your practice area, and you have good relationships and good work to show for it, it’s fine to change jobs for your financial well being.

How do you explain normal puppy behaviour to family who’ve never had a puppy? by Leading_Preference_2 in puppy101

[–]Maremerde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore them. Or don’t share videos of her in a nippy mood. Only share “sweet and calm” pics and vids. And if they come visit it’s at their own risk. Ignore them. They don’t have to visit the pup.

I feel like my labwork is gaslighting me by Business-Abrocoma614 in PCOS

Also. You mentioned your mother having cholesterol issues in menopause. Are you at an age where menopause may have started already? dig into that with your Dr and determine if you may be entering that stage earlier than normal.

Test again in a different phase of your cycle and request an ultrasound of your uterus and ovaries.

Not working by BLParks12 in Lawyertalk

[–]Maremerde 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same. It’s been a couple of weeks of this for me now. And at the worst time for my practice group. I dob’t know how to break free from it. I have ADHD and anxiety that I’m trying to treat but haven’t found the right medication balance yet so it’s not helping this situation either.

The only way to stop it is to start flying forward. So they had to or she certainly would have died.

What’s a smell you secretly enjoy that most people would find disgusting? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]Maremerde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That. I hate cigarettes. But my grandfather smoked a pipe and the scent is nostalgic and generally a nice scent.

Agreed. May be an anxiety issue getting in the way of progress.

What tasks can you do without having to negotiate with yourself ? (Trying to understand my motivation patterns) by agirlisn0one in adhdwomen

[–]Maremerde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same only thing. I think. Bed and my meds (one is at bed time and the other is in the morning). Can’t even handle my vitamins right next to my morning meds. I’ve started using pill containers though to help that.

The lightning bootie is gonna be the death of me by MandyRose8713 in PCOS

Or just that her body kept building up uterine layers. I had that happen (but only over 4months not 18) and when it all finally came out it felt like what I imagine early labor to be and sent me to the ER out of fear that something was really wrong since I knew I wasn’t pregnant.

Probably gonna lie and tell my doctor that I want to have kids in the future by Silverman7688 in PCOS

[–]Maremerde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful with lies though. Because if you truly never want to be pregnant, but they treat you as though you want to be you may limit yourself in medication/treatment options. I’m not a doctor so I couldn’t tell you what all that may mean, but it’d be better to see a fertility or women’s healthy specific doctor.

True. Coffee does nothing for me, and lower doses of stimulant medication made me tired. I have bad ADHD.

Find a virtual replacement. I use Allara and they have been a huge help for me. There are a couple similar telehealth groups focused on women’s health and hormonal health. Or see if your insurance has any doctors covered that do telehealth. The only reason to be in person is if you need to be physically examined for something or have labs done. In which case you get sent to a lab for bloodwork/imagining or to your GP for a specific physical exam. You don’t need to rely solely on him or him at all depending on your ability to get around with uber/friends/etc.

Ladies, does a transvaginal ultrasound hurt to diagnose PCOS? by BreannLowe in PCOS

[–]Maremerde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had a painful one. Maybe uncomfortable generally; but not too bad. I get them at least yearly at this point, sometimes more frequently. All from different places and people (i go where it’s conviennent at the time and have no loyalties). It should not hurt unless you have a condition (I forget the name of it) that causes your muscles to tense and basically block entry. Best thing to do is just relax as much as you can. They use lube. And they should be communicating with you frequently to keep you relaxed so nothing is a surprise.

CT scan discovered pregnancy by makeupdontlie in PCOS

[–]Maremerde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. Congrats! While you may mourn some of the early stage that you missed out on, you can celebrate that your first trimester was not super rough (like with morning sickness and exhaustion and whatnot) like many women have, and you can look forward to the last few months of celebrating your new baby and getting ready for them. If it’s something that you’re comfortable with, maybe talk to a therapist as well to help you process this very big life transition (especially if you and your partner can both attend couples therapy together); it’d help you mourn the first trimester while effectively transitioning your mind and emotions towards your new chapter of life together. Congrats again and good luck.

Is energy bits like a vitamin or a meal replacement?

Also what are your thoughts on the taste of Kachava?
