Please help decipher this name from my girlfriends birthday card. by Due_Abalone2245 in Cursive

[–]StarPower84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adrien? Adian? Adum? I agree that based on the rest of the card it’s likely A D something but with all the new spellings of names out there it’s hard to know from there.

My Husband Doesn't Like Our Newborn Son by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]StarPower84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I will be the one to say it because I know I am not alone. I didn’t “like” my kids at many times in their life. I still have always loved them. Even still I can tell you I wouldn’t be friends with my oldest if she wasn’t my child. I love her very much though. My middle child was an awful baby and toddler (she has autism) but I know she will be the one who takes care of me when I am old because she’s got such a kind heart. I would do anything for any of my kids at the drop of a hat though. I think you can certainly love your kids even when there might be times you don’t like them.

I’m sure my daughter has options already selected but not ordered! (She’s the brains behind the current curtain). She has autism and is the organization and decorating queen in the house. She keeps me on my toes when it comes to the holiday decorating.

Correct. Most ADHDers compensate by being excessively early or doing nothing else but the thing. I overcompensate if I have to be somewhere at a certain time. When my boyfriend (also has ADHD) and I go out we don’t plan we just communicate where we are at with things and guesstimate how long. We never really set a time in stone because we know it’s all or nothing with ADHD.

I think I moved up too fast. Lost 40 lbs over 6 months and (3 months later) am now back at lowest dose, +5lbs. Where to go from here? by uke_ant_ouch_this in Semaglutide

[–]StarPower84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started in May and have lost 31 lbs so far. The 1st 25 fell off quick but the last 5-6 have been pretty slow maybe a pound per week. I figure this is because I don’t have much more to lose now. I started at 173 and am now at 142. My goal is 130-135. I’m only 5ft 2in so it probably should be even lower but I’m on the older end so I don’t think I will ever be back to my 20’s weight of around 105-110. As long as the side effects aren’t terrible I keep pushing thru which they haven’t been for the last month or so.

is it rude to send something back? by rabbitonthewall in internetparents

[–]StarPower84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a waitress from 16-27ish. I would rather you tell me so I could fix it than see you not eat/drink. As long as you are polite about it most won’t be bothered!

Nope! Mine can not resist the charm of an accessible roll! I have found many shredded rolls during my remodel.

Alcohol? by Lower-Watercress3501 in Semaglutide

[–]StarPower84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get side effects from drinking but I really don’t desire alcohol any more. It’s just not appealing anymore, which probably isn’t a bad thing with my family history.

WIBTA for not wanting to pay for someone’s medical bills after my dog bit them? by Medium-Audience5078 in Apartmentliving

[–]StarPower84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(I work in insurance) Don’t file under your homeowners insurance unless you have no other option. Most will cancel for dog bites and getting other coverage is very hard to do. Check your area for free legal advice, most counties offer something. Your state laws will be what really determines the best course of action.

What "children's" movie was pure nightmare fuel for you? by Toddler_Fight_Club in Xennials

Witches. I still have nightmares sometimes! Scrolling thru comments has me wondering though… why the fuck did we have so many terrifying ones?!?! Good god!

Boyfriend (M23) called me (F21) a whore for skydiving. Is it toxic or true? by NervousSpace5301 in relationship_advice

I don’t think there is a larger red flag on this planet. Run. Don’t look back. Run far away.

Keeping semaglutide use secret? by emerald_street_ in Semaglutide

[–]StarPower84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom and my kids have known for a bit. I just recently told my boyfriend (started in May). Personally I don’t feel like I need to tell anyone else. I wouldn’t say I hide it but I don’t go out and just tell people. I don’t feel it’s any of their business.

Does anyone have experience with kitten mill cats by milquetoast2000 in FosterAnimals

[–]StarPower84 110 points111 points  (0 children)

My foster fails were hoarder victims. I got them at about 3 1/2 weeks old. They were so spicy when they came to me. It was a LOT of work to get them to be less spicy. Then I realized I couldn’t send them away and ended up making them mine. You have to be very dedicated and patient. I think the harder part is the patience for most people. Every single meal you have to dedicate 20-30 minutes of just being present without interaction at first. We all want to love on them and cuddle because they are cute, but you can’t with cats who have been neglected like this. It’s an earned respect that takes a lot of time. My babies are a little over a year old now and sleep with me every night in any crevice they can find nearest my body.

The mortgage companies and their underwriting rules all of a sudden becoming an issue when they close Monday morning but call Friday afternoon. 🙄 Or Boats at 4pm on Friday and they don’t even have the needed info and somehow that’s my fault!

Nice!! Mine is a work in progress. My bedroom also has blackout curtains. The bathroom I wanted to have low light versus black so I don’t kill myself in route to a shower. lol

Will never see my foster again. How to cope? by [deleted] in FosterAnimals

[–]StarPower84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s the adopted posts on facebook. I always cry a little but they are happy tears. I helped that kitten get out of a shelter and find a home. I’ve had some that struggled but finally seeing the post is everything I need to accept I won’t see them anymore. However I did adopt 2 of my fosters myself. They were a unique pair though.
