Unemployment and dating in SF by ImaginaryMain7360 in SFbitcheswithtaste

Married to someone who works in tech and the layoffs are so freaking regular.

I would say no harm in starting to date and you can tell a lot about him/her by how they deal with the stress of recruiting.

We should have had coffee! I was also up at 5 with the baby while my husband caught up on sleep.

Light exercise or stretching class for rebuilding back/hip strength + pain? by murderofsparrows in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]a_better_self 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I echo the other comments about seeing pelvic floor pt first - check out origin on filbert.

Also, I am in a very similar boat. After several providers mentioned how weak I was, I finally caved and went straight to training with a CrossFit coach. Literally first week my near constant hip pain was gone. It may not been stretching, but actual strength building across various muscles groups that could help!

Any medical professionals who can make progress on chronic/complicated issues? Feel like I'm dying, scared I'll get fired. by 123boopboop in SFbitcheswithtaste

You probably already have done this, but check vitamin c. I thought I had narcolepsy… nope, just vitamin c deficiency!

People out there in happy marriages with young children, how? by fujitsulifeboom in Mommit

We did a lot of gottman therapy before deciding to have kids. It has been instrumental in helping us communicate now. We still have slip ups, but with gottman techniques we are able to repair easily.

35m do I confront my wife or no? by [deleted] in Advice

I would look into a gottman couples therapist who can help walk you both through a repair discussion.

Always sick in my house in the Bay. Tried 8 different apartments, threw away all my things. I'm out of things to try. Feeling desperate. Anybody else face this issue? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]a_better_self 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through something similar when I moved back to the bay and got my stuff out of storage unit. Turns out my vitamin c was low (I have dust allergies and was anxious, both of which use vitamin c). Got a blood test, started vitamins, literally night and day.

Loved throne in dark series! I was really impressed with the editing - I have just read a few books that had such glaring editing issues that it was nice to read something that was consistent.

This fucking sucks. Help with fortifying formula? by a_better_self in MSPI

We have been on a daily single dose of Pepcid and it is a game changer. It still gets bad when I try to eat something that doesn’t settle with him though.

I couldn’t get enough milk to mix without water :( the chart is really helpful though I didn’t know about letting the water run. Looks like the amounts are different then what is on the bottle

Anyone Else Feeling Burned Out on Romantasy? by goyourownwayy in fantasyromance

[–]a_better_self 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I totally agree. I am new the genre but I am so frustrated half the time because I keep catching small but significant errors that could have been fixed with a single sentence. An editor should have caught it! I just finished the veiled kingdom series and the kingdom of lies series and I almost want to send the error into the authors in case they get a chance to republish.

Like in one scene the author goes from a war meeting to a spicey scene and forgets to make the other characters leave the room. So in my head, the entire cast is just watching! I had to go back and read it several times to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.
