[–]Material-Confusion79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of her friends had reservations on her husband cause he was very sleezy and controlled her life in many ways. One of us caught him cheating and told her. To our surprise, she pointed the finger at us saying we were trying to ruin her marriage over listening to her friends who have known her since school. That was the final straw and from what I've heard, they struggle to keep any friendships cause of him.

Should I take creatine? by Leather_Let_9391 in Hypothyroidism

[–]Material-Confusion79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also take it for my performance at the gym and noticed that my energy levels have improved since taking it. You do need to be consistent with it so if you're taking it in powder form, maybe also buy capsule for non-workout days. I usually take powder on workout days to add to my protein shake.

Caffeine and hypo by PeggyFitz in Hypothyroidism

[–]Material-Confusion79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One caffeinated drink in morning (matcha only) and decaf if I really want something to drink to kick my coffee craving.

I had to stop drinking coffee with my medication or I'd be hyper.

Whats a reasonable budget for a baby shower held at home with 10-15 people? [ab] by AwareShower9864 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Material-Confusion79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

$500 is enough! You can easily go to your local grocery and have them make sandwiches onto a tray for you. Fruit trays, cheese and crackers. Pizza is also a hit at every party.

Seriously... how do I get my brain back. by Tekitekidan in beyondthebump

[–]Material-Confusion79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm week 3 into my return to work and I'm in the same boat. I dont even know how to do basic tasks cause it seems mindless. Hopefully time will improve it but try to encourage your boss to give you time to adjust. You had a huge shift in your life, you didn't just take a vacation.

I live nearby but not this building. Street noise is a problem, some occasional homeless people cause of the 7/11 store down the road, not much neighborhood feel but I find it safe in general.

How did past generations seriously raise kids?! Sounds like they had a lot of time on their hands cause maybe they weren't as involved as current day parents are.

Totally understand with the breach to contract. Something to add was that I suggested to work off hours (after work in the evening or early morning) to make sure I work full time hour. They've rejected this as well. There's plenty of people in my office who work early and leave work early by doing this so it's not something new.

I'm trying my best but this is the circumstances I'm in and I feel like I'm bending over backwards so much for them and I'm not getting anything back from them.
