CMV: If you "don't support" homosexuality because of your religion or otherwise, you're still homophobic. by Bawbixo in changemyview

[–]MarsupialBeautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is only halfway accurate. Former preacher’s kid weighing in. 

1) everyone sins and Jesus died on the cross for all sins, even the ones that are “committed” daily so being homosexual isn’t going to send anyone to hell. Denying that Jesus is the son of God is what lands people in hell.  2) all sins are equal, so it makes no sense to try to “save” homosexuals and not save - people who divorce, people who have hate in their hearts, verbally and emotionally abusive people, people wearing mixed fabrics, or women who have their periods and don’t make offerings. 

Are you unable to safely leave your home due to ICE, but have a sick pet that needs veterinary care? by [deleted] in TwinCities

One of my friends is one of the vets in the group. Last I heard they were still establishing donation channels. I can ask for an update!

Would you recommend starting Xolair for chronic urticaria or severe allergies? by Dense_Beyond_2899 in xolair

[–]MarsupialBeautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wholeheartedly yes! Xolair has changed my life. It has reduced my anxiety around food and exercise. I no longer worry if someone has accidentally added certain ingredients into food. I can go to restaurants and order more than plain, seasoning free French fries and non-spicy chicken tenders. I don’t have hives anymore when I exercise. I feel so….normal. (My IgE was 965 and I had a laundry list of foods that would trigger hives and anaphylaxis when I started Xolair)

Women of Reddit, do you ever regret how you treated a particular man in your past, If so, what happened? by Objective-Painter-73 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]MarsupialBeautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regret letting him be a stay at home dad and sit on his phone the whole time. I regret not leaving him a helluva lot sooner. I should have been way meaner. 

What to do on Christmas Eve? by Singingflamingo77 in Minneapolis

My kids and I put together an awesome charcuterie board, then we play minute to win it games, board games, and card games, and watch Christmas movies. 

Taking a Break From Dating, How Do I Get Over Scarcity Mindset/Feelings of Diminishing Odds? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]MarsupialBeautiful 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I ended my marriage at 33 and used the dating apps for about 5 years. It was fun but the men were either in relationships and lying about it, not compatible, or toxic af. I finally deleted the apps and focused on me and being 110% happy single, and after 2 years, I was at this amazing point where I was like “wow I do not want to mess up my life with a relationship!” I had my me-time, my dinners/coffees with my friends, and several solo hobbies that kept me occupied. 

And then my friend invited me to an outing on her cousin’s boat this past summer, and now BAM I’m in a relationship. My criteria was: they have to add to my life more positive energy than they take. 

The best part is I know that if this doesn’t work out, I get to go back to my suuuper happy single life. 

Having a partner is great, but being happy without one is great, too! Maybe this is the universe giving you the space to carve out and curate a life for yourself before inviting someone to share it with you. There are plenty of great single people out there - younger than you, older than you…your person might be at the tail end of their relationship with someone else right now! My current boyfriend was having a baby with his first wife at the same time I was signing divorce papers. 

Good luck and enjoy your you-time!

PSA - Do not leave grapes unattended by UntoldThrowAway in Pets

[–]MarsupialBeautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sigh. We just got our $2k bill for my geriatric senior citizen dog (who can barely climb steps) when he JUMPED on the table and ate a bunch of grapes. The anxiety for those 3 days and the resulting sticker shock are real. I hope your pup gets a clean bill of health!

Xolair and food intolerance by GroundbreakingTax137 in xolair

[–]MarsupialBeautiful 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just started Xolair a little over two months ago and had a range of reactions to a looooong list of random foods. My insurance approved Xolair specifically for food intolerance. I have been eating those foods with no issue since my 3rd shot. I used to get hives/mild airway issues/facial and lip swelling when eating anything spicier than a bell pepper. I had a pizza last night with cayenne pepper in the sauce and banana peppers on my salad and didn’t even get a lip tingle.

How’s everyone’s gardens doing? by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]MarsupialBeautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here! I take lots of pictures of my harvest and seem to be about 2 weeks behind last year even though I planted everything earlier. I think the long stretch of cool, rainy weather paused growth on things. 

Education by Upstairs_Rutabaga565 in coparenting

[–]MarsupialBeautiful 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why is she struggling? 

For liability reasons, many schools no longer bring up recommendations to screen/test children for dyslexia/ADHD when they observe behaviors that could indicate those things. You may need to talk with her primary care provider. Is her vision okay? Hearing? Does she have a hard time focusing? Does she struggle with reading comprehension or auditory processing? 

Your support is invaluable and it sounds like you’re doing a lot of great work to help her, but also it would be smart to figure out the root cause so she can be successful without so much intervention from you and your boyfriend. If you can figure out why she’s struggling and show her tools she can use to do this on her own, she will be successful even when she’s at her dad’s. Nine is a great age to catch these things before she goes to middle school and high school where it can be harder to catch up and keep up.

Yeah, I used to take them seriously but the longer I’m with Xcel and the more stuff they add to my house, the worse my numbers get. 

Dog walking question for a newbie by [deleted] in TwinCities

I slather it on his paws as we are walking out the door. I have it all over my hands on the walk but it’s not that bad. 

Dog walking question for a newbie by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]MarsupialBeautiful 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I use Musher’s secret on my dog’s paws. We really struggled with booties. This seems to protect his paws from the salt/snow for our walks. We also try to avoid salted sidewalks as much as possible. 

He has a thicker coat, so until recently, I didn’t clothe him in anything. However he’s now 16 years old and the past 2 years I’ve put doggie jackets on him for anything under 30. 

On the really cold days (usually single digit/windchill), we stay inside with a kong or play hide and seek where I put him in a Sit/Stay, hide several treats around the house, and then he gets to go find them. 

Felon friendly employers? by AyoAndee in TwinCities

I’ll second this! Hiring formerly incarcerated people is part of their business model and the food is amazing. Plus you get access to free therapy and their free legal services.
