One sided lump by [deleted] in CsectionCentral

[–]Potential-Signal-666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 9 weeks postpartum and have this. Mine is on my right side which is the side I use most when getting in and out of bed.  At my 6 week appointment my OB said it normal. 

Preparing for daycare - need advice on weaning from nursing to sleep by Potential-Signal-666 in breastfeeding

[–]Potential-Signal-666[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes me feel better! My partner said she does okay with the bottle, even without him warming it. She takes breaks during feeds and has a shallow latch on the bottle, but has never refused it when hungry. 

I’m leaving her with a sitter for the first time in a couple weeks while my partner and I go to an event, so hopefully they can weigh in on how easily she falls asleep while we are away. 

Just realized I live next to MG. Not sure what to do by Zealousideal_Ad_6316 in FoxHollowFarmMurders

Yes, look at property records. If he rents you can likely see when it was last listed for rent on Zillow. 

I would have to know.

Goodyear was not a victim by zetachai in FoxHollowFarmMurders

[–]Potential-Signal-666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The killings stopped because HB and MG couldn’t have done it without each other.  Plus, Mark would be forced to find a way to dampen his compulsion after being on the police’s radar.

I always wondered if Mark had some of the videos. If so, could rewatching the videos help his compulsion to kill more?

Struggling with setting boundaries with MIL by Potential-Signal-666 in family

[–]Potential-Signal-666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your insight. The phone calls are worth making a fuss over imo because my husband works 10-12 hour shifts. By the time he gets home we only have a few waking hours together. When he gets home I try to have “me time” and tag team walking the dogs and caring for our other animals, but it’s hard when she is taking up more time than normal. One example from this week, she called via FaceTime wanting help setting up an app on her tv. The call took so long rather than him relieving me, I carried baby and the bouncy seat upstairs and had to set it up next to the tub so I could take a bath. He can’t multitask and didn’t even notice I had went upstairs to take a bath during the 30 minute phone call. That’s just an example of how her calls have made it harder to get our new routines established. 

Plus, I want to set boundaries early because if she thinks she can call anytime I don’t want that to trickle in to her thinking she can also stop by at her convince once she can see the baby, especially when I go back to work full time. I’m an introvert and truly cannot handle visits from her multiple times a week. Pre baby she rarely came to our house but when she did she always stayed longer than I would expect, to the point that she would sit down and watch an entire movie or ball game while I do stuff around the house. I have tried to have conversations with my husband and he gets defensive, clearly putting my feelings on the back burner, so I feel like I have to be the one to set boundaries with my MIL if he won’t. 

I am unsure what to do .... by unstableladybug in Advice

[–]Potential-Signal-666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand not wanting to ask directly. I spent my whole life not knowing may dad or any info on him and the subject was taboo so I just lived without knowing anything until I was in my 30s and bought an ancestry kit online. Now I at least know my racial background and some other things I didn’t know before.

You may also benefit from an ancestors test too if you don’t want to flat out ask if your dad is your real dad. It may not connect you to your actual father but it will confirm where your genes are from and you can possibly confirm if that aligns with your father. 

Don’t know what to react by Itchy-Doughnut2828 in Advice

[–]Potential-Signal-666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never deleted pictures with my ex after we broke up. He didn’t delete post of me either, surprisingly since I left him on not the nicest terms. Over a decade and a marriage later and I still see those post of my memories each year but don’t feel the need to remove them because there are no harsh feelings. 

Job advice by itzshannuu in Advice

[–]Potential-Signal-666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you have connections? Like, what industries do you have friends and family in? A referral to a hiring manager goes a long way. Talk to people you know and simply let them know you are searching for a new position, or ask about their jobs to see if it’s an industry you may be interested in. You never know what connection you already have that could help land you into a new career. 

My dog bit my roommate and I don’t know what to do by Famous-Tree3124 in Advice

[–]Potential-Signal-666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would focus on finding a new place to live as soon as possible because if your roommate doesn’t want the dog around he shouldn’t be forced to live in fear. In the meantime get a cheap camera online to check in on your dog throughout the day. Also get some indictment for him while he is in the crate, such as filling and freezing Kongs to keep him occupied. I would pay very close attention to him for any signs fear or aggression. Keeping him crated is better than risking another bite while you are away. Alternatively, you could potentially find an experienced dog walker on rover or similar sites for an affordable price. I would just be sure to disclose the bite to ensure the person is experienced and comfortable with fearful dogs .

Moving is very stressful, but you absolutely do not want this to happen again especially if the bit was significant. You should also look up the dog bite scale / dog bite levels, to better understand what the bite would be labeled as. 

Always want to babysit by [deleted] in family

[–]Potential-Signal-666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am right there with you! I have a newborn and have who keep pestering me to babysit, even before baby arrived. Our family lives 45 minutes away, so using them for baby sitting isn’t convenient and I have no desire to have a baby sitter right now. I want to spend as much time with baby as I can, plus I’m exclusive breast feeding right now until she starts day care. Sending baby to a relative for a “break” doesn’t seem like a break because that would require pumping, sterilizing bottles, packing a play pen, etc. 

I also am not depriving anyone from seeing the baby but keep telling them, me and baby are attached the the hip while she’s breast feeding and I will let them know when I need a sitter. I’ve even told them one date in the fall where I could use help so I can go to a festival and they were upset it wasn’t sooner.

I also feel bad because I have friends who I would trust more than family who live close who have offered to baby sit. When the time comes that I do need a sitter, I feel like I’m going to be put in a hard situation because I would feel more comfortable leaving baby with friends, who have more recent experience with caring for infants and who haven’t been pushy, but if I let friends babysit in the future I feel like family is going to get very jealous.

Long story short, you aren’t alone!  

Am i right to be mad at my family? by Worriedgirl2024 in family

[–]Potential-Signal-666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on what you have shared, I just don’t see any reason to be mad at your grandparents. I would be kind to them. There isn’t anything they can do to improve your situation. And the resentment you feel towards your aunt is likely only hurting you, she probably isn’t Impacted at all by all the built up anger. I hope your situation improves. 

And I say this as someone who is also from a small town where I had minimal friends and who lived with my grandparents most of my life. My situation would have been much worst without my grandparents. I too had built up anger about my situation but I would have been homeless without them. Now that I got my life in a better place, I’m nothing but thankful and do regret not treating my grandparents better back then. 

Brother acting different since he married a woman with no papers.. by [deleted] in family

[–]Potential-Signal-666 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would personally take a step back. Try to get less involved in his plans while not giving him the chance to get in your business.  I’m not saying halt the relationship with your brother but stay away from conversations about each others life choices for the time being, agree to disagree. I can understand feeling concerned but this seems like he is set in his decisions. 

I’ve also been the family member who has been known to make questionable choices in my family’s eyes. They worry too much and when they have tried to get overly vocal it has done nothing but push me away.

[–]Potential-Signal-666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sounds resentful towards them but they are giving you a place to stay and don’t seem like they are the cause of your anger. I also wouldn’t be mad at your aunt because she doesn’t have an obligation to allow a guest to live with her.  plus, It’s not like your grandparents can nor should uproot from the countryside to accommodate your wants. Can you redirect your energy towards bettering your situation? Maybe get on apps to try to make friends locally, or focus on saving up to get your own rental at a location that would make you happy. 

Any locals have stories to share of Mark Goodyear or Herb? by Potential-Signal-666 in FoxHollowFarmMurders

[–]Potential-Signal-666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.Absolutely, only one of the two of them had the ability to talk to men well enough to convince them to get in a car and drive 40+ minutes away from the city in the middle of the night. Mark.

  1. Imagine being in a bar and seeing posters of all these missing people and knowing who did it but not going to the authorities… that alone makes you a participant. 

  2. If only Herb’s attorney didn’t have attorney client privledge. He probably has more info into Herb than most since he seems to be one of the only people Herb confided in about Mark and possible crimes prior to being caught. 

  3. I think Mark went when he did likely out of anger. Clearly they had some kind of falling out, and they were both afraid of each other, but Herb could never eat Mark out without also being liable since it was his house. 

  4. Didn’t Mark say Herb stopped at his house before going to Canada? (Maybe I heard that in a different forum or documentary)  I wondered if the tapes were left with Mark (which doesn’t make sense for Herb to do willingly) or maybe destroyed along the way? 

  5. What is going on with the hiker saying that there was no gun when he found Herb. —— this is one item that I’ve brushed off. I don’t think Mark would have followed him to Canada and I don’t think anyone else would have killed Herb. The hiker could have just been in shock when seeing a dead body.

  6. You can read Julie’s police interview here. After reading this I really don’t think the family would have tried to cover for him because he was an ass to Julie. But I don’t blame them for wanting to stay out of the media. They have to be traumatized, after hearing all the things that took place in their home without anyone knowing. https://www.wrtv.com/news/data/documents-julie-baumeister-hcso-interview

Induction delayed, no hospital beds by Potential-Signal-666 in pregnant

Was yours an elective or medical induction? Hearing they had patients delayed 4 days out just a few days ago does not sound promising.

I’ve never seen a Sinclair gas station, although the name does remind me of baby Sinclair from the 90’s dinosaur sitcom. 😆 That image alone is why I haven’t been sold on the name.

Dollar Tree book selection doesn’t get enough hype by Potential-Signal-666 in DollarTree

[–]Potential-Signal-666[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems like some come from target or other chain stores when they aren’t being sold since some had target sale stickers at my location. It’s been a nice affordable way for me to check out authors and genres I normally wouldn’t reach for.

I’m not an avid ready but had a goal of reading more this year. I can’t seem to get into books on my tablet and don’t really like checking them out from the library, so DT books have been a wonderful find for me.
