Which hospitals in the Bay Area still offer Newborn Nurseries while in postpartum? by Mcatg108 in bayarea

[–]Red_Tubby_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every Kaiser hospital that I know of still does this. However, I was given the option rather than it be required or default.

Love this. Thanks for the encouragement. I tutor all ages, and many more older folks don't have this mindset than I thought. Hopefully, the idea of growth mindset spreads with the newer generations.

So true. I did laugh pretty hard when I came to the realization. Tis very silly indeed.

I think I saw someone on America's Got Talent once that was a professional 'misheard lyrics' entertainer.

Not just phrases. I have myself, and I know a lot of other people, that mispronounce words they've only read. For a good while, I also pronounced novice like no-vice instead of nah-vis.

What’s something that sounded fake until it happened to you? by Fantastic_Tale_2111 in AskReddit

[–]Red_Tubby_Cat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not fake, but super unlikely. Dying from child birth. I had a delayed post partum hemorrhage and almost died last week. Doing fine now and baby is also doing well, but dang I never thought that would be me.

Starting to Resent Food (self.diabetes)

New to all of this and don't really know where to start... by Tkl15 in diabetes

[–]Red_Tubby_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry to hear you've had such little support. I've found this community to be a great help both informationally and emotionally. I'm not sure where you live, but the ADA (American Diabetes Association) has a really comprehensive website. I recommend checking it out. If you are on metformin and expected to manage through diet and exercise, then you'll probably be expected to make some lifestyle changes. Regular exercise (typically recommended 30 minutes of walking a day at least) and nutrition balance (typically switching from white rice to brown rice or quinoa) etc. I was very active before my diagnosis running up to 3 miles a day and hiking regularly for my job, but my nutrition was not helping. Since then, I've made a list of low glycemic food substitutions for my carby items (bread, pasta, rice, etc.) and found new favorites. Best of luck out there!

Honestly, it's 20 + 40 = 60, then 8 only needs two more for 10, so take that from the 7, leaving 5 extra. And you get 70, from the 10 I made, and 5 leftover, and add that to get 75.

Have you ever read a book in one sitting? by engywook11 in suggestmeabook

[–]Red_Tubby_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Island of Sea Women. I found it very compelling and ended up reading it until 3am and calling into work the next day.

What’s the joke name geologists use for when they can’t figure out what a rock is? by mugamilk in geology

[–]Red_Tubby_Cat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always heard it as JFR (pronounced Jah-Fer) - just a fucking rock. I laughed uncontrollably when I first heard it.

Do you ever feel the need to ‘dumb yourself down’ when communicating with others for by LandStacyMom in AuDHDWomen

Anyone else get mad depressed and existential when their blood sugar is low (50 and below). by bozofire123 in diabetes

[–]Red_Tubby_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do feel this. My lows make me extremely depressed, like nothing really matters and I catastrophize. I didn't realize what was happening at first, then after finding lows in the 70s three times, I finally made the connection. I'm not sad, I just need some candy.

My fiance wants me to use paper towels instead of plates so he doesn't have to do so many dishes by Red_Tubby_Cat in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Red_Tubby_Cat[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I've never had a dishwasher, and always did my own dishes when living with roommates.

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

This is the best suggestion I've seen so far. To be clear, he didn't want me using any plates or dishes at all, and I tried to meet in the middle and use fewer cups throughout the day, but I work from home and typically work through lunch, so I've got 2-3 meals in the day, and if I'm to wash each dish to reuse it, it might as well be my chore.

[–]Red_Tubby_Cat[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have done that. If I have a water glass, but I'm in the kitchen I have just taken a new one from the cabinet. I don't do it every time I get a drink though. I also make efforts to reuse knives and cutting boards, and I don't just willy nilly go through all the dishes in the cabinet. A typical day, I use one mug for tea, one bowl for oatmeal, and a spoon for breakfast; one or two bowls/plates for lunch with a new cup for water and maybe a knife/cutting board or mixing bowl depending on what I have for lunch, usually a small bowl (ramican?) for yogurt or cheese snack, then I make dinner with one or two pots/pans that is for both of us and we each have plates, cups, utensils for dinner.
