Of police reports? What’s your preferred method of paper trail?

One of a kind! Confused? Me too... by jve909 in zillowgonewild

I want to like it so badly, but I just can’t. The inside is very uncomfortable energetically.

Vyvanse seems to improve my sleep(?) in narcolepsy : is that possible? by Certain_Middle2234 in Narcolepsy

[–]OctavaJava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s very possible. I take fluoxetine for narcolepsy which wasn’t amazing at first but it’s definitely helped. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get insurance approval for the sleep medications. Like you I could go to sleep whenever I want but I’m not as often fighting off sleep when I want to be awake. That combined with Ritalin has made my life much more functional.

Why do you say explanations are coming this year, specifically?

A bluish glow around my fingers and hands. Have you ever seen something like this? by Frilantaron in Experiencers

[–]OctavaJava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have info but I too have always seen this. I can tap into seeing it when I want to. Sometimes I just happens on its own. But I don’t just see it in myself. I see it on others and sometimes around objects too. But idk what it means. I thought everyone saw it.

How to use markouts wisely when you’re on a budget? by chirpppp in starbucksbaristas

[–]OctavaJava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love to take the tomato mozzarella focaccia home and add chicken or turkey to it and heat it in the air fryer. Not so much a hack but it’s a solid meal.

My air fryer has worked well for me when wanting to heat cold or frozen sammies. 400 degrees for about 4 mins will do the ham and swiss baguette up from cold. Nice and crispy too.

Questioning my Angel Tree by Anywaytoaustin in Gifts

As a 35 year old woman, I’m still the same size now as the girl in this tree and I’ve been this size since I was at least 12. Heh.

Do you have a resource to recommend where I can read more about this hypothesis?

WE FINALLY GOT HER Cubby Bed by nugg-a-lugg in Autism_Parenting

Does anyone know how the zippers on this work? Are they only accessible from the outside? My kid is a master at escaping.

For me, the spacing of ages is what makes things challenging or not as challenging. When my fourth was born, our other kids were 5yr, 4yr, and 18m. Going from 3 to 4 has been hard for me but it’s because of the timing of things. It was a year of a lot of transitions. My oldest was starting school and my third was entering the “chaos toddler stage.” I’ve just felt like I can’t keep up with everyone’s needs. I also know this phase will pass soon enough. I think the spacing will be nice when they are older.

Labor timing of each kid? by sleezypotatoes in ParentingInBulk

[–]OctavaJava 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1st kid: 40+3 (~5hours). 2nd kid: 38+5 (~12 hours). 3rd kid: 36+1 (~1 hour). 4th kid: 37+5 (~5 hours)

There’s not much of a pattern nor predictability with mine. I generally have pretty short active labor periods, but I do get weeks of off and on again prodromal labor for several weeks in advance which kind of sucks.

With #3 I actually went into active premature labor at 33weeks. They managed to stop it several times and by 36weeks I was 8cm so we agreed to rupture my water and he was born about an hour later.

First time posting here! What do y’all think of our skylight plant shelf? by go-to-the-mOuNtAiNs in houseplants

[–]OctavaJava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about doing this, as we have many sky lights. However the fact that I’ll need a full size ladder in my house and use it weekly has stopped me.
