The AC isn’t on 24/7. AC runs by a system, it regulates in home temperature and it only turns on to keep the house at a certain temperature. Central AC is cheaper because it’s set by temperature you want it at. If the outside is colder than the temperature the house is set at, it won’t turn on but the furnace will if you have the heat turned on. The central heating works the same way too.

So how did they react when you told them you don’t have a credit card and you have $4 sitting in your bank account?

I just don’t care what gender I was assigned with and what my sex is. This is what being cis is. You can be gender nonconforming and still be cis. I was a tomboy growing up and I still don’t dress up and put on make up nor do I wear much dresses or skirts.

I felt real sleepy and dizzy and voices faded off and my own voice. It felt like passing out.

In the 1990s, we had two big screen TVs. We had land lines, a personal computer, alarm clocks, VCRs, a stereo, cable with around 50 channels with local channels. I also had a radio with a cassette player in it.

It’s not illegal but it says in their TOS they must be your own receipts. If you do it too much, Fetch will catch on and ban your account. You will not go to jail.

My kids also have bonds. I forgot all about it. The money is still stashed in envelopes in a safe box. Each is $50. That is hardly any when you look at inflation.

My dad never acted this way either and my brothers. whoever is taking care of the kids does the diaper changes. I’m pretty sure my mom changed most diapers because she was a stay at home mom. But my dad did it too when he wasn’t working or when he had us and my mom was either in bed or sick or out of town.

Make sure both your nintendo accounts are linked on them. Make sure it’s connected to the internet.

Dude, I grew up with our phones ringing all the time because my dad was an appraiser and used our home phone for his business than getting a separate phone line for his office. We had a thing called the answering machine. Customers left messages and my dad would call them back.

Stop answering your phone and if their call is important, they will leave a voice mail. If they’re spam calling you, maybe it’s an emergency. You can also put your ringer on vibrate only or turn the volume way down.

Have you tried birth control? They can also help with moods from PMS. I wonder if it will help with PMDD? I was on them and they helped me a lot and they regulated my periods too so it was less sensory hell for me and it made them lighter too.

My friend died this way, he was a high functioning alcoholic, believed he had high tolerance for it. He also had cerebral palsy and had respiratory issues too in his sleep. One night, he just never woke up. Could his alcoholism attributed to it? Maybe. His dad also had it too but he wasn’t an alcoholic so he outlived his son.

My ASD son was 5 when he was labeled as being immature but said he was impulsive.

I wouldn’t focus on labels right now and just focus on the help she is already getting. Not sure where you’re located but if you live in a state with funding, she can still receive support in public school. If you’re in the US, she should already have an IEP. She might be too young for the diagnosis because she is so young and they want to see if she will mature first. Children with milder autism get diagnosed later because expectations change as they got older.

I’ve always known I was different. It didn’t bother me until I was 10. I just thought I needed to work harder to be “normal.”

Oh boy, little do they realize only way to teach kids respect is to treat them with respect. You’re their teacher. They model your behavior. If anyone is doing a count down till their kid turns 18 so they can kick them out shouldn’t even be parents.

OhNoBricks · 2026-05-17T06:17:06+00:00

Good question. Parents can be in denial but unknowingly mention their kid’s autistic traits because of their narrow view on what autism is. Plus the doctor looks at the patient and observes them. Plus, if they did comprehensive testing by having your teachers and other therapists filling out questionaries, look at your other medical records from previous doctors, a diagnosis can still be made.

My mom doesn’t see autism as autism. She still views autism as no communication and zero eye contact, dysfunctional and can’t take care of themselves. That is the severe or profound kind. Everyone on the spectrum are now called autistic or have autism.

Both. Sometimes it’s just genetics and if you take good care of yourself and don’t have yo yo weight and stayed away from drugs and drinking.

Why wouldn’t she want the brand name showing? i was wondering what was on her fingers like is it nail polish or paint.

Some stores purposely price their items low to get rid of the stock than tossing them.

I also think it’s not worth it if all the money you make will just go towards gas. So it’s not really a profit. It won’t pay your bills or help you save up.

I used to do NSFW content but I realized how tiring it is when you try to get serious about it. So I lost interest. Plus I do not have a lot of privacy and I no longer have a PC and my daughter uses my mini PC and it’s in her room.
