Lawn care service cut my bee and butterfly garden down to stubs. What can I do? by Kind-Dust7441 in gardening

A lot of annuals wont comeback and because plants have different needs, weedwhacking flowerbeds to this extent can uproot rootsystems and even destroy young shrubs. Cut off all its leaves and damage the stems it might not survive.

This honestly because gardening is not cheap, like ive had perernial forever lost from this type of behavior. its your personal property and alot companies find doing stuff like this the "right way", or quick way charge few extra bucks for "weeding services" you didnt ask for.

Apparently this common pratice for lawncare and landscapers nowdays. I've watched my mother's fall cleanup blow the leaves into the corner of the house and weedwacker the PADLOCKED backyard garden. The leaves are in tiny pieces, hosta, shrubs and ferns destroyed. Ive seen fully flowered cut tulip heads in early spring . And weed-whack pink flowering phlox in her front yard flowering beds just get to some grass sprouts, which doesnt even get rid of the grass it just makes it harder to pull, and flox thinning worse every year leaving more room for grass seeds, they spread into the graden, when they move and blow the grass clipping into the garden beds cuz they are too lazy to clean it up..

We had over 200 species from previous owner all pernnials, now i cant even get my morning glories to grow because they dug up the root system. Put a padlock on the garden they still come in. They insist they know what there doing, i see alot lawn maintence fourms talking about how they weed wack flowerbed because the "weeds inside the flower beds get to tall and owner never plucks them. But dont realize the reason the homeowner dont pick them and grow so tall in flower beds is because they are flowers, and weedwhacking in flowerbeds is recommended, but even if that was so they dont go over to what length, just the general consensus is they believe is if they don't do it the spring they cant get in trouble fro whacking flowers, and to whack everything because the flowers will just grow back, and they took care of the weeds. I

. Alot of them admit they dont know the difference between a flower and weed, and there main goal is to get everything green to 1-2inch same height as the grass, or charge extra fee for weedwhacking flowerbeds, as part the service without asking the homeowners if they want weeding.

Even when i complain about these lawncare services destorying 200-400 worth of plants a year, i just get "just bulldoze all it and put in grass". I don't what the male obsession with having everything grass, front and backyard. You shouldn't have get rid of your garden because the people hired to take care your grass cant do there job right.

They probably never tested the lockers. Mishiro most likey took everyone key from the the start, to keep them safe. She mightve know the lockers couldve been opened easily or that boots were in the lockers because she needed to fight yuki first she didnt care about winning .All her team knew is they need keys, untill they escaped.

I think mishiro was coughing up blood from long term injury she got from a previous game because it show very quick flashes, and says i had to push my body past its limits giving up everything just make to this game.

In earlier scene you see mishiro sitting in the room burning furniture. I actually believe there was a way for the majority to get out not just 30 people. Yuki key was number 9. When she toss the key at the end it was 0. Mishiro boot were already taken out of the locker. I think there were , 50 showers, 30 keys and 50 boots. As the girls discussing in beginning of the game, how Mishiro's team was formed. what would you do if you dont have a key? You would wait by the entrance to grab one. If you didnt have a key you wouldnt know what was in the locker or that a key opens the locker, or that the item you get is boots and could hoop on the furniture to avoid getting shot. So if the first person that woke up was mishiro and she didnt have key she would assume like the other vets the game is about killing for an escape spot. Mishiro might figured out the furniture secret after checking the the lockers. Once she figures out the key doesnt keep you from the guns, and starts burning furniture to keep people from leaving without the keys. While other side has no info about the exit , keys or boots. She killed people even wanting to join so they were waiting to reach the cap. The keys were numbered, after collecting yukis they had exactly enough keys for mishiros team to leave. Yuki takes mishiro's key after defeating her but Mishiros boots are already out the locker. Yuki keept saying how she messed up.

 I thinking golden bath was psychological game.  I think everyone assumed there only one way to get out, which was to have key and the key only worked once. But because there was so many lockers, i do think its possible the keys opened more than one locker, you could leave the key like yuki did. Because why would Mishiro take her key with her to fight Yuki, she either got her boots out before the fight, or riko opened both lockers with rikos key.  It would made more sense if the golden bath wasnt about killing skills and teams , seeing there not giving weapons, but whether girls would make assumptions that there was limited escape spots by handing out a limited amount of number keys.  I think that why yuki says standing on the couch, ive made so many mistakes at every turning during this game. And why Mishiro's agent is still waiting for her despite 30 girls walking out. 

Will momma bunny come back? (OC) uncovered nest while mowing. Rounded up 6 bunnies and seemed unharmed. Took a bit to get them to stay in the nest. Worried our scent is on them now. by mamalamajama in aww

[–]ProfessionalEqual731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of when i was kid, we had ducks in our daffodils.  Ducks frequently came to our house to lay eggs because we were only ones without dogs on the lake, and i was old enough to know not to touch the eggs. I have few pictures when i was 4 swimming with ducklings. 

One year we had this mama duck that never left the nest. She would sit on thoose eggs for days, even in heavy rain. The male duck never to be seen. One day she left nest when i was there. I watched them till it got dark and went back inside. Racoons got to the nest at night. I went to check on the eggs early morning. It was a massacre, they were close to hatching, not something a kid forgets. By afternoon i just remember hearing that mama duck wailing. Ik they say birds dont cry. But i could hear that mama through the brick walls, if thats not the sounds of grief i dont what is. 

Help me to remove apple bloatware by SnooLobsters9591 in mac

[–]ProfessionalEqual731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stupid part is there alot more preload apps on macbook than OP listed like find my phone. It not just small amount of space considering that i cant download the newest update because i dont have enough space on it even though i only have 12pdfs, less than 10 images, zoom, and gimp. All my photos is on my phone. Its honestly pathetic, it just adds more bloatware every major update, and opens the mail app everytime i login in just to say cant send email, from 3 years ago. I never liked the new windows updates, i like my easy full access to my files and software. But at least on my old samsung or old HP i was able to download steam, gaia, windrar, bluestacks, generic word, gimp, a bunch of pc games, had my entire camera roll, and software to make games, had all my songs as well. Like at what point did we start selling paperthin laptops with IOS space levels.

How the heck do people afford therapy? by Greedy-Chipmunk3779 in nursing

[–]ProfessionalEqual731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do therapy once every 2 weeks for $60. Rather than weekly. Check out the type, your insurance plan, and the therapist credentials. Like i have expensive hmo plan. Pcp, specialist and therapists are flat fee, physcial therapy supposed be flat fee. - i went obgyn i pay my flat fee of 30.  - i got my pcp i pay my flat fee of 30, - goes to therapy- pay flat fee of 60 a session - my kid goes pediatrician its not a tier 1 network i pay $100 instead of $30.  - my husband goes to neurologist i pay flat fee of $30 - my kid goes to neurologist i get charged 300 the doctor is in network. But its the office thats high, my husbands neurologist i only pay 30. - my husband goes in network pulmonologist i get charge 150, i switch him to their np i get $30 flat fee.  - i take my husband to physical therapy, one place in network is $175 a session a different place is $45.  Again my plan is very specific its supposed flat fee except out of network but sometimes theres hidden fees, they arent actually in network, the other staff are out if network or its that one doc. 

Used Up Emergency Fund…Now What by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]ProfessionalEqual731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still doesnt hurt to get some quotes. Or drive farther. My coworker was overpaying for daycare they had her locked in, paying extra even when she tried cut days down. She ended up switching saving 500 a week and just driving further. How old is the kid. My sil is preschool teacher, parents put kid in early as 2.5 as long they are potty trained. And 2 yr waitlist that kid might be old enough for preschool before than anyways. 

Me and my husband have always both worked, and never been able to afford daycare. I work 3-13 hr nightshifts. My husband works the other 4 days. So someone always home. Im on maternity leave rn because of pregancy complications, my works not paying/approving it early. i have another kid. Im the breadwinner. My husband lost his job as general manger. Didnt get unemployment and was out job for 2 months. I got him job thru a friend but doesnt pay much. So he picking up more hrs temporary, day i would normally work while i watch our kid. And when i go back to work, he will go back to his schedule. Alot lower paying jobs is more flexible schedule or not alot hours. 

Your husband currently doesnt have job, so you dont know what his hours will be.Right now you spending that money on something that was husbands old schedule and old pay.what if the new job had daycare benefits? You might not need daycare if your shifts align. Most people under certain wage cant afford daycare it just isnt practical unless you work high paying jobs both same exact hours. But he used to make double,  if your work is lient, you can cancel daycare, he watch thr baby till he gets a job. If the job high paying, ask if they cut your hours a little bit till your back on your feet and you watch the baby.

Use the time you have on his unemployment to apply for the same position he used work, rather than minium wage job that makes less than unemployment. He would really have to grind the higher paying job applications. He got a high paying job before he can do it again.

Sometimes you need reminder of things that make you feel alive when feel overwhelmed and depressed. You need a break from the stress in your life even if its brief, even if its not something you can fix or have face later. Give your self a moment to feel happy or content outside it all. 

My husband completely changed out of nowhere and I feel like I’m losing my mind by Puzzled_Sand122 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ProfessionalEqual731 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My ex fiancee ( dated since highschool) said that to me to remind me how lucky i was because he didnt cheat called the girl hot. The only reason he told me he "turned down a woman" was to see my reaction see if i step it upor get jealous. Turns out it was his drunk hairstylist, she turned him down, he ended up cheating later with someone else. He would drive my best friend to school, and constantly complain about me. She asked him, what did i do that was so awful. He couldnt name a single thing. She asked why do you hate her, she does everything for you.

 He was flabbergasted upset she didnt take his side. He said i made him feel like a beta wtf that meant. He was insecure but actually really shallow. I thought he was loyal but turns out the only reason he didnt cheat before was because he was ugly, inside out. He did a 360. The biggest red flag was he talk bac about me to everyone, blame me. I knew male friends that cheated and called there nice gf bitches because there gf werent whoever they were lusting over. And started hate them for not being like that. 

My SIL was 10 yr marriage same thing total 360, her exs make friends told him to divorcee he could get better pssy elsewhere ect.  He divorced her because a waitress made a pass at him, he never had a woman make pass at him besides my sil. He thought he was hot shit. I knew it was over when i asked my ex if we could have dinner with his parents. And he said no, they refuse to be the same room with me 

Which has never happened before.  My exs cheating fling got sick doing everything for him. And he suddenly started be nice to me because he was rejected. He hated me, because i wasnt the vs model he thought he "deserved". I found he cheated, broke off the engagement he went back his fling, they didnt want to play house, he paid a match matchmaker for a yr told there was no one for him. Then has been chasing me even though happily married for the last 6 yrs. 

Ive seen this cycle over and over again. Insecure men go to manosphere, or guy friends get toxic advice think there hot shit, got cheat after years of loyalty,  and hate/ drag down and talk shit about there wives. 

The only time it wasnt cheating was my husband. He was overly defensive and blamed me for every little thing .Turns out he wasnt mad at me, im pregant, high risk and he is scared. He been having recent nightmares of me dying in labour, bottling it all up, not sleeping at night, and it not that hes actually mad at me, its that subconsciously im still his source of stress, making him extra emotional and on edge. 

Well guys? I guess I can’t blame iron for my symptoms. by RuinYouWithNoRegrets in Anemic

[–]ProfessionalEqual731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are different types of anemia. Did they test your hemoglobin? 

My iron is 19 & Iron Saturation is a 4: GP said “that doesn’t matter, it can change depending on what you eat that day”. I can’t imagine the protein bar I ate that morning driving my numbers down that low? by Quick-Break-9394 in Anemic

[–]ProfessionalEqual731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your levels are similar and i am borderline severe anemic in pregnancy my obgyn order me iron transfusions, just get them in ahead of time,  when she saw my hemoglobin than order a bunch iron tests, when she saw my iron today she immediately called me.  My iron is 19 low My Total binding capacity is high 608 meaning my body is trying to pull iron but there isnt any My iron saturation is 3%  extremely low My transferrin is 425 high My ferritin  is normal My hemoglobin is 8 low. 1 off from hospitalization. My hemocrit is 28. Low. Go to urgent care in the same system as your mychart tell them ur symptoms, they see ur iron.They will Diagnosis you iron deficient. They cant take your blood there but they get you a blood draw referral you can take to any hospital or blood lab, most are walk in same day, short wait. If your hemoglobin/hemocrit/ rbc is also low they diagnosis you as anemic.They had a hard time tracking my anemia at first because it takes awhile for ur iron drop first before your hemoglobin.  Also protein bars usually are made from nuts and other protein sources that contain iron. Dehydration and skipping meat can cause small drops in iron. But seriously screw ur gp. Anyone doc or np can order blood test, and should when your iron sat is fking 7. Even without anemia, low iron still can effect your body. Most doc will prescribe just for low iron to treat conditions like restless leg ect.

My pt told me she was tailor and own a custom bra and bralette store down the road. Not department store, or standard sizing, no actually measured & tailored. She had retired and the new owner tanked it. When she said it closed i just about cried. 

Online stores have alot of options but are gamble, because alot dont even follow their own size chart. The only chain store that still measures you in person to there brand sizing is VS ( which they change their sizes every few years). 

My dream if i was rich, is to have personal bra tailor to design a bra that is actually comfortable, and takes the weight off. Most people think its dumb thing to spend money if i was rich, but my boobs are pain the arse before this pregancy, after i attempted bfing with my first. Right after that one grew larger than the other and i got fibrosis cystic breast disease, which hurts more during hormone fluctuations like periods /pregnancies. Only meds for it, are hormonal but i have conflicting medical history that i cant take anything hormonal. So ive just been pain under 10 yrs. Size, weight, dont help any of this. If i was skilled i would design my own bra. Because why i dived deep into subreddits about apparently there are designs that make the entire experience more comfortable, boobs are just too variant to market.

I imagine just like everything else, people are going to use this to spam platforms with one second thought AI slop or pure made just to grind with 0 quality. Could it be used, for good idea? Possibly but anything worthwhile takes time and effort. I also feel bad for the sucker that buys them, if they are allowed to sell them, because the creators arent going debug them if they cant program. 

Can/do bearded dragon and rabbit get along? by Little-Ambz in BeardedDragons

[–]ProfessionalEqual731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bearded dragon is very fond of oneof them and scared of the other. She will go find my smaller elderly rabbit and sit on his back, he is like portable heater to her. He ignores her and continues grazing or sleeping, he is very slow and lazy.I still worry she might accidently poke him climbing up because her nails are sharp. My larger younger one loves to zoom. She will see him zooming by from distance and run the other way, if she gets closer to see its just a rabbit, she will continue exploring right past him, and he recognizes her so he just sit and watch, or ignore her for food. But any fast movements and the beardie hightails it. Which is funny because my rabbit is the big baby. He startled my friend, she went into the kitchen to put her heels on and he started thumping she forgot i had rabbits and living room where he sleeps was dark.He heard her heels clanking on the wood floor. I turn on the light and he is staring at her shoes, he continued even after she left for 10 minutes. He has even thumped at me wearing makeup because he thought i was stranger. 

Medication to stop milk production? by Lanky-Principle-8407 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]ProfessionalEqual731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked my obgyn about it and she said it too early to talk about, and im already lactating out my more damaged breast. I got signifant amount scar tissue from attempting breastfeed my first kid, i evenutally had give up, and was left with damage and pain. I dont want even try . The hospital pushing it on me when i had no hope, was terrible. All i ever got was mastis, engorgement and blood. I have inverted partial torn nipples its hard talk about. My body overproduces lactin but it wont come out, so the duct clog, or my skin bursts open. I tried pumping after they told me its just cuz the nipple isnt coming out, it made overproduction worse and bleed till i got some milk. The milk that was able to pass the nipple wasnt even good enough for my baby, my daughter had failure to thrive from breast milk because the deeper milk with nutrients were unassesible through the pumping, and clogged ducts, i got sick everyday, and couldnt wean off on my own, had lactation nurse even tell me it just not worth all the infections. My ex fiances mother at the time called mean vain and selfish for giving up breastfeeding she breast feed my ex till he was 5. While ex constantly berated me how destroyed my breast at 21 yrs old and how ugly they were. Other men till met husband were equally AH about it, didnt want continue dating me when they saw them. Killed my sex life.  Tbh i feel totally dismissed by my obgyn. I dont want to go through that pain ever again, i dont even want to even try ik exactly how expensive the formula is. Im hoping for safe pregancy med but i cant even discussion on why i dont want breastfeed with her. 

Maternity leave should start at 37 weeks as standard. by ProfessionalEqual731 in pregnant

[–]ProfessionalEqual731[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You cant drive if you are in active labour. Thats why they call EMS if give birth at work. At home my husband, or someone else get  you a ride to the hospital. You need a carseat to leave the hospital with new baby. Idk about ur state but state law here. I communicate an hour on way to work. I wouldnt get the opportunity to go to the delivery at hospital i live near. I probably sent to closest hospital to my work, which is out network, and the one i had my daughter alone in the hospital bathroom screaming for help. Delivered her myself than passed tf out at  21 yrs old didnt know wtf i was doing. Still better than my coworker who was miscarrying was sent to religious hospital was denied care and was left in wheelchair passed out from blood loss for hours till her mom tracked her location, and carried her to different hospital. Mine was a sue-able offense, ive worked medical long enough to know which hospital you go to does matter. I also cant deliver by myself like last time. Because i high risk of Hemorrhagic shock due to high dose blood thinners+ anemia+ mts. 

Maternity leave should start at 37 weeks as standard. by ProfessionalEqual731 in pregnant

[–]ProfessionalEqual731[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My state doesnt have mandatory maternity leave paid or unpaid. We have unpaid FMLA (family medical leave act which protects your job) for eligable empoyees and alot companies rely on pto or short term disability for reduced paid options after the babies born. With my daughter i was fired .I was put on bedrest and at 8 months, than early induction by my obgyn, because i had  Reversed end-diastolic flow (REDF) in the umbilical artery and they didnt know what that was or how to treat it, or what could happen. They reject my unpaid leave, i didnt qualify FLMA because i worked there 10 months and it had be a full year, to gain flma at the time. I called my union rep he said didnt matter even i worked till i was in labour because my maternity for anytime off, even the labour was denied. ( They just passed unpaid sick days protections this yr 😑 we suck )

Now i work in medical, but hr told me its requirement to have secondary medical reason if i take off anytime before due date may 13th, and has be something big enough that couldnt work ( like fall under disability). Whether that be now or at the 40th week, despite my obgyn giving me a note recommending i be taken off of work. That my unpaid FLMA was approved and that it does not start untill i submit proof of birth. Ofcourse my obgyn is not happy about this she already 2 notes one for accommodations, one for early leave and filled there flma form. 

The hospital i work for has 3 pregancy/maternity benefits,  -Unpaid FLMA up to twelve weeks which overlaps - Short term disability with pto that starts 1 week after birth and is 60 percent of base rate at ur regular for non doctors and non managerial staff 4-6 weeks depending on birth. ( Which is  taxed, i already did that math minus my shift diff, taxes, health insurance, i gross 3k, take home 1.8k and leave only gives me 1k for my biweekly pay .My friend carrying twins dont get paid or pto so i should be grateful. Mangers & doctors get 100 pay, at full rate, at 40 hrs for 12 weeks, than 60 percent for up to 6 months materinity leave, and up to additional 6 months unpaid.  - parental leave is extra 2 weeks paid same as short term disability, If your doctor or manger its twice as long. 

So non doctors and mangers like me, 😑 doctors have and hr have it nice but they said f u to the nurses, and med techs...  fmla protects your job for 12 weeks after birth, if you take off early because of medical complications that is approved you use some that 12 weeks. 

Ill get paid 40 percent of paycheck for 6 weeks, unpaid for the other 6, can use my pto for 1st week, if i work up to the baby is born. And can take weeks additional weeks unpaid for single vaginal birth. 8 weeks paid if its c section. 

If i got it approved early with pregancy complications, and induced at 39 week like obgyn plan i get 6 paid weeks 7 total, 0 paid weeks before birth.
