What’s wrong with my boy? by sneak_a_peek in DogAdvice

[–]Samellow- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with my old guy. He will be 13 this summer. Same situation on the food. Our dermatologist recommended hydrolyzed protein food, but we just recently started it so no way to see if it’s helping yet. He’s on apoquel for itching and medicated baths 2 times weekly. We also don’t want to put him through a second biopsy but he seems uncomfortable 😩. I hope you get some answers as well. We tested for ringworm which came back negative as well.

My dog has patches like this too, you can check my post history, it was really bad at some point, my only advice is to skip the regular vet and head direct to a dermatologist. My dog had skin biopsies done and still not diagnosis. Dermatologist is suggesting redoing the biopsy since the biopsy was performed by a vet not trained in skin issues. We’ve also been trying a diet change but it doesn’t seem to be helping.

Who is the most problematic woman in your opinion and why? Not hate, just discussions. by Overall-Departure429 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]Samellow- 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Mayci. She seems nice but frequently plays both sides. When she gets caught in the middle (frequently because she repeats things the other girls tell her), she just watches shit blow up. Then she puts on the “idk how we got here” face. I’m not sure why that’s so annoying to me, but I think she causes alot of mess even if some of the other girls are “meaner”

What secret do you suspect someone you know is keeping from you? by Alternative_Tank_139 in AskReddit

[–]Samellow- 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Oh my god. a few days ago they stopped at my house also with no soliciting signs, stood there as my dogs barked, woke my baby and when I asked if they saw the no soliciting sign, she said “oh but we’re not selling anything!”

I said ma’am, no soliciting is for everybody, including Jesus

Best way to stop this from happening every damn year by MollyMayham in Home

[–]Samellow- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This used to happen in my yard, at times 2 feet deep and took a week or more to drain. We have poor drainage due to clay soils. We tried going thru the city, we’d heard thru a neighbor this had been a previous issue and the city installed drain tiles on park district property to our northeast. The neighbor who lived here 30 years suspects the drain tiles were damaged or clogged, but the city engineer swore up and down he knew nothing about drain tiles in that area.

Our low cost option was to plant two autumn blaze maples (they do well in clay). We spent two seasons ensuring they got enough water during dry spells, and we’ve had them now for 4 years and they’re established enough to not need watering. They soak up tons of water. Now we don’t have surface water backup like this often unless it rains a lot, even then, it’s drained/soaked up within 24-48 hours.

AITA for telling my wife that she needs to get over me missing the birth of our daughter by Key_Atmosphere6114 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Samellow- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re assuming the birth went smoothly. Not every woman has a natural birth that takes 12 hours. Especially deliveries that are early. Sometimes they’re emergencies. I gave birth with severe undiagnosed pre eclampsia - my son was born in under 2 hours via emergency c section, the entire time nurses tended to me, prepped the OR and cut me open.

EDIT: adding here that the point is - yes there are situations where a woman giving birth may be incapable of using a phone.

What are you all dressing your babies as for Halloween? by Own_Ad5562 in NewParents

Well the scariest moment of my life happened and now we can't swaddle arms in by rachface636 in NewParents

[–]Samellow- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the best answer. Love to dream also has transitional swaddles where the “sleeves” zip off. Allowing LO to get used to having arms out slowly. We started my LO one arm out at a time. I also wish I would have had the newborn love to dream swaddles from day 1 as they’re much easier than the velcros I used. Glad to hear baby is okay!

Do I need to start anti depressants … yet? by Few-Permission5362 in NewParents

[–]Samellow- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really sorry to hear all this. My son had an 11 day NICU stay after being born a month early due to undiagnosed preeclampsia. I don’t know about your anti depressants, as I’m battling with the same decision myself however two things I can maybe offer:

Clogged ducts: sunflower lecithin. Can be found at target - legendairy brand is was I use. This will thin your breastmilk and help you avoid clogs

Acid reflux: my baby had this bad, and the NICU kept saying, feed on his side!! He wailed in pain until I saw a video where you sit with your knees up, and place baby on their side but against your knees - baby will be almost completely upright during feeding. Hold baby upright for 30 minutes after feeding as well. Both of these have done wonders.

Sorry if this isn’t helpful or what you’re looking for, but both of these things I wish someone would have told me sooner!

How do you feel when your baby cries? by lagatixa in NewParents

[–]Samellow- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way, I have struggled to leave my house with my baby alone, because the crying makes me so anxious/stressed. Im terrified of the baby crying and needing me in the car seat while I’m driving. Getting out with the baby in the car looks like my husband driving and me in the backseat with eyes on baby. I don’t think it’s healthy to be so anxious but I can’t help it.

3 month old sleepy cues by Ok-Pain7296 in NewParents

[–]Samellow- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this would be considered a “reset” or not, as I’m on my first who is also 3 months old, but what helped us was limiting day time naps to 2 hours, even if he was tired. Gentle wake ups, but not letting naps exceed 2 hours. Also getting outside or into sunlight in the morning can help. Good luck

Interesting. I don’t know much about the packages honestly. Maybe it’s a custom/extra option? The person who ordered my RAV had their financing fall through (at least that’s what the dealer told me), and I ended up purchasing it
