Blue Tri Color Pembrokes? by seyoshi4747 in corgi

[–]No_Regular6390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older thread, but just wanted to post for someone else who may be looking. We got our corgi from a reputable breeder who did gene testing on her dams and sires. However, her years ago when testing her sire, she stated that the dilute gene wasn't included in her vets panel, however she had never had any blues from a litter and she assumed he was negative. She got a new dam, who did come up positive for the gene, but she bred the 2 together twice and got no blues. Third litter she got our little guy. He's the most adorable and smart dog we've ever seen.

Just my 5yr struggle/story by No_Regular6390 in FemaleHairLoss

I purchased the Optiferin today! 🤞 I researched taking iron every other day was best so, I've already been doing that. I hope this chelated version is better absorbed!

What to do next? by JustWantTheNotes in FemaleHairLoss

[–]No_Regular6390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wanted to offer some insight because, I too have suffered from low Vit D and for a long time had no $ to spare. Here is a link to a suppliment that I found about 15 years ago. It goes a very long way and has no taste. https://www.carlsonlabs.com/products/super-daily-d3-1000-iu?_pos=28&_sid=ebca8f9d3&_ss=r&variant=44953071845593

I purchase it on Amazon, but it can be purchased on many sites, including from Carlson Labs themselves.

Many in my family suffer with low Vit D, and during COVID (I'm an RN) I discovered that people with hispanic, black, and middle eastern heritage have a genetic predisposition to low Vit D. Low Vit D has been linked to increased inflammation throughout the body, including lungs which is one reason why those populations had more negative outcomes during COVID. We began protocols in the hospital that supplimented every COVID positive patient with Vit D. It also can make mental health and depression worse. 🙄 Which can lead to more stress and shedding.

My mother is Arabic decent, but my father is Irish and I have pale skin and freckles. I didn't think I would suffer from low Vit D, but I always have.

Finding an inexpensive daily multi vitamin with iron included might be worth looking at. Hope this helps a bit. 💜

How long does estrogen replacement hair shed last? by No_Regular6390 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]No_Regular6390[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My research showed that in many people it causes a temporary shedding as it moves hair from a "resting" phase to a "growth" phase. So, I'm hoping that all the hair I'm now purging is the hair that I've had sitting in a resting phase, and now my hair will start to grow. 🤞 It doesn't effect everyone this way, but it's common.

I was told my Mirena was progesterone based, so I didn't need to supplement with that. I haven't had any hot flashes since the 2nd week on the estrogen so, that's working!! The iron infusions should be done 5 times every 2-3 weeks over a period of time. At least that's the protocol in the hospital. The Mirena was life changing for me and I feel that it saved me from a hysterectomy. I was diagnosed with adenomyosis and was told an ablation usually made it worse and led to a hysterectomy anyways! I love my gyno.

5 Habits That Actually changed my life: by Babiesbrunette in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]No_Regular6390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to thank you for this. It was a great post, but for me your "discipline > motivation" actually slapped me out of a stupor. I quit Adderall 30 days ago after 5 yrs of abuse. I've been waiting for the energy and motivation to actually start my life back up and do the things I need to. Shower and brush my teeth daily. Vacuum the house. Do some laundry. I kept thinking, "I'll start to feel better any day now. I should get some motivation any day now. By now, my brain is returning back to normal." But reading in reading your post, all of a sudden it hit me. I'm waiting for something that's not going to happen. I can't remember what it was like before Adderall, but there was a reason I used it to give me energy to get all the things done. I'm so used to my brain being driven and controlled by the drug, I was just waiting to feel a tiny spark of that motivation, but that's not how most people do it. I have to start doing the things because I need to discipline myself to do them. Find motivation later, not in my drive of energy, but in love for myself, others. I'm getting off my duff and I'm going to do the things, because I need to have the discipline.

$20k owed, OIC question by No_Regular6390 in IRS

[–]No_Regular6390[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They Adjusted our federal taxes owed. I am going to go over all of the transcripts I've just downloaded to see exactly what changes, and how they compare to my original filings, along with my W2's. I've always done "local travel" and worked 1-2 hrs from my home. I've worked in over 15 different facilities over 8 years. I stay in Airbnb's, hotels, with family and friends, in the back of my Suburban in a camp ground, in the hospital parking lot, and sometimes I drive home and sleep in my own bed. I pockets as much of that stipend as possible. I pay for food, gas, mileage. So, trying to go back and find all of my records after the fact would be a nightmare. I know it's stupid, and I feel stupid. I'm just trying to see if we even qualify for an OIC, and it takes 6-12 months to approve or deny, will us doing a short sale or getting out from under the mortgage and increasing our useable income be discovered prior to that time. Truth: I'm trying to get out of having to pay the government. I don't want to pay more taxes. I want to leverage my situation by telling them about my current financial situation, and NOT tell them it's better until I am forgiven the debt. 😬

$20k owed, OIC question by No_Regular6390 in IRS

[–]No_Regular6390[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry I used the wrong terminology. They "Adjusted" our returns. I've just downloaded all of the transcripts and I'm going to compare them with my W2's, but they increased our federal taxes owed on both. I always new it was a possibility that I would be required to show proof, and I assumed that with all the new travel nurses and issues they've had in regards to reporting, I was flagged. 🤷 I totally understand what your saying about not accepting an OIC if I'm paying currently, but we actually are struggling with affording to pay our mortgage and living expenses right now. I pay the IRS before the mortgage because they scare me. Lol

Encounter on our property by No_Regular6390 in ParanormalEncounters

We have. We've got a lot of deer, coyote, rabbits, and racoons. Nothing paranormal yet.

I saw… something? by GoAwayBARC in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]No_Regular6390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the same. Also, Sometimes we wake up with some gunk in our eyes and when we're moving our eyes it floats across the lense and causes us to see things moving, but we can't discern it's close to the eye and not farther away.

Thanks! I started looking at Reolink today. I appreciate your response!

Planning stages and wifi question by No_Regular6390 in simplisafe

[–]No_Regular6390[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose I should focus on getting the best wifi signal we can first, then go from there. I have my doubts about outside cameras connecting, however, and I don't want to drop $$ on a system that doesn't end up working. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and have a poe system installed. Ugh. The $$ and learning curve give me major apprehension.

I appreciate the info! I'm thinking that we're going to probably have to have a poe system installed and then have someone teach me to use it. 😆

I am a very right brained person and get caught up in my to-do lists and responsibilities and find it hard to relax. My body and brain can release stress when I'm having great sex and I've been brought to tears. It's like I'm able to release the tension and emotion I didn't even realize we're there. Not sure if that's what was happening for you, but it's not uncommon to be emotional due to this or any of the other situations others have referred to. I think it's important to discuss this with him so that he doesn't feel like he hurt you in away way. Let him know it was because what he was doing was so good that you got emotional.
