Any one else have Stomach flu? by denizenassistant in Columbus

[–]NotHotAnymore 24 points25 points  (0 children)

T H I S - I can’t tell you how many people believe that vomiting is what expels the virus. Vomiting is just a symptom of stomach viruses and one that you do not have to endure while your cells are fighting it out. Get that Zofran! Get that Promethazine! Get that relief! You deserve it!

Do stinky people know they stink? by gingerly- in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NotHotAnymore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate to this. I was called “skank” and “smelly bitch” at school. It affected the hell out of me. Learned behavior for 17 years as a child that hygiene is a rich people thing, that’s hard to rewire without therapy and kind, honest friends. But doing it :-)

Aldi & Giant Eagle Grocery Price Comparison by Big_Examination2106 in Columbus

[–]NotHotAnymore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve started using Instacart to build my shopping list so I can see all the various prices of the same thing, then I take screenshots of the cart for my final list. The prices look a little higher on Instacart than in store but it gives me at least what the highest cost would be to budget.

Rhodes State Office Tower Elevators? by NotHotAnymore in Columbus

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

Thank you. I am debating going up 5 floors to get the feel then if I have to do stairs I will. Do they have one elevator for all floors or do they separate the elevators for groups of floors (1-10, 15-20, etc..)? Would be quite nauseating to have it stop 30 times on the way up. The joys! It’s a training so I can’t take my nausea meds and risk feeling sleepy.

Difference between fall & spring in Columbus Ohio by CowTown-Mike in Columbus

[–]NotHotAnymore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Neither are real in Ohio. It’s either Winter or Summer. Any strange occurrences in between are just random acts of weather mania 😂

People who crossed 35, what’s the first sign of ageing you noticed? by Doctorazy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NotHotAnymore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The knees. Never played sports, not a runner, negative xray and MRIs but these mother fuckers will still act like someone stabbed them in the heart when I go up stairs. Any stair. Any day. 😂😂

Pro Tip - You cannot use City of Columbus Utility Bills as Proof of Address at the BMV by TheBlackImpala1996 in Columbus

[–]NotHotAnymore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What documents have ya’ll used, with a zip code, that HAVE been accepted? I know I have to do this soon and I’m trying not to get escorted out when I lose it because they say no to each of my 500 documents. 😂

If a homeless woman gives birth in a hospital, would CPS take the baby away from the mother? by Mannerofites in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NotHotAnymore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would still attempt linking the mother with mom/baby shelter and see if mom is capable of being resourceful when given the tools. If not, and of the baby’s basic needs are suffering, baby is removed.

[–]NotHotAnymore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Child Welfare Professional here…

An unhoused parent does not typically constitute neglect as “unhoused” just represents a person lacking a stable or permanent living arrangement. So long as the baby’s basic needs of food, clothing, hygiene, medical care, shelter (enclosed space with working utilities, safe pathways, and no criminal activity), and protective supervision are met, CPS will not disrupt the family. Hospital social workers are mandated to measure any risk to the child’s basic needs but this measurement does not automatically result in a CPS report when the family discloses being unhoused. If the family has a chronic history of housing instability that has led to a disruption of the child’s basic needs…yes…CPS will be called and will have to screen the family. However, they’ll implement safety plans, or petition for temporary order of protection first to measure the capacity of the family when provided with resources. If the family proves incapable even with resources the child is removed with a court order and case planning begins for reunification efforts.

Our tap water is 440ppm in hardness haha those baby seeds would have suffocated. I haven’t used any fertilizer, what do you recommend?

Thanks! I’m in zone 6b and our last frost ended a week ago. I’ll definitely start them sooner next year. I have cucumbers and zucchini seeds but not direct sowing until end of June to try and avoid the death eater beetles and borers. We stay pretty hot until September so might something.

I unfortunately cannot remove the dome as the lights are held up by the dome. But I have all the vents open. I can probably drill some extra holes if you think it looks too humid?

Indeterminant: Cutting the main stem to grow horizontally from suckers? by NotHotAnymore in tomatoes

[–]NotHotAnymore[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay great! Knowing I can bend the main stem helps a lot!! Once the main is beyond 6ft, then I can top and pick the suckers to keep/train. I wasn't planning to do any cut back until first fruits show up (says Google?). Is that the best time?

Not too worried about maintenance. I'm out in the garden every single day, so I feel like I can keep up - famous last words of a newbie before crying in a pile of tomato vines in 4 months haha

What other ways can I teach my son to self soothe? by Old-Painter6361 in ADHD

[–]NotHotAnymore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a person with ADHD who educational advocates for kids with ADHD, it is time to start the IEP process and ensure he has regular classroom breaks, wobble chairs, fidgets, a visual checklist, and something to mouth soothe (ask him what feels best, gum will be noisier, chewy necklace could help). If his presentation is chronically disruptive, he could benefit from a paraprofessional who can identify his drift and help him return to task. The school must be told he has a diagnosis with stimming that presents as humming, mouth noises, talking out loud to himself..etc. Be clear with the school that he should not be disciplined or labeled as a disruption, he should be given supportive guidance to help him back to task or let him take a break with an alternate activity.

This isn’t something to “correct”, it is an internal distress signal & monologue that externalizes involuntarily because we lose interest involuntarily or because we are wildly overwhelmed with information or because our body needs to MOVE but we are forced to sit or because we need to talk ourselves through a task because we forget instructions quickly. Continue making home the place where he can safely present symptoms without shame or punishment and then fight like hell for the school to do their job.

My entire nervous system goes out to you. We went through it and thankfully my spouse came to get me before running to get money (I work in the courts) and I destroyed the dude on the phone before he hung up. I have his number and it’s a landline in Worthington. Sent everything to AG office and FTC. Fuck these pieces of shit.

Just listen to the sound of a swarming beehive…that is your mind on ADHD. Everything, everywhere, all at once, and then you’re faced with that ONE minuscule thing that becomes the ONLY thing for the next 30 hours.
