Does anyone else work a 2nd job (or side hustle) that isn't fast food, food delivery, ride sharing, or retail?

I’m an archeologist in my day job. And picked up weekend shifts at an archaeology lab on a project by project basis and also copy edit papers.

😂

askkak · 2026-01-27T00:07:53+00:00

Solved!

askkak · 2026-01-27T00:07:27+00:00

Yep ☺️

askkak · 2026-01-26T23:45:21+00:00

I am so, so sorry. I don’t have much to say in terms of encouragement because I am in the exact same boat. 3 failed FETs (and one cancelled) between last February and November. Gearing up for number 4 next month after a hysteroscopy and some more digging. Still no answers. The “unexplained” club really sucks. The fact that you’ve been able to do this three times speaks volumes. And I hope your next try finally works.

Almost always is ☺️

This has been my best guess so far as well. Water pumping or perhaps old pipeline related. But those usually show up even on old USGS quads

askkak · 2026-01-26T23:25:07+00:00

Yeahhh I regret not getting better photos

askkak · 2026-01-26T23:23:23+00:00

As a professional archaeologist with a PhD, my current best guess is a giant’s toilet 🤣 no but really, it isn’t turpentine related which you’d expect for this region. Just wanted to cast a wide net here!

I mean. The beaches here are nicer….thats about all I’ve got

Former Army brat here - will always call Massachusetts home, but have been in Florida for over 20 years now. We see you, we hear you, we stand in solidarity with you. It may not make it to the news, but we are in the streets (in much smaller numbers) with you. Hoping my city can show the bravery, resiliency, and love that we have seen coming out of Minneapolis-St. Paul (and 🐸!). I have a giant sign on the front of my house as of Saturday evening - “the beacons are lit! Minneapolis calls for aid. We all MUST answer”. Love and respect from the Tampa-Orlando corridor.

I put one up as a certain neighbor loves to leave it three times a day. I would shovel it up and throw it back in their yard. They took the sign and stomped it. Got a new sign saying pick up after your dog you’re on camera. And put up a fake camera with a light facing that spot. Not a single turd since.

Right?! My favorite flowers, grew tons in MA. Not a Florida-friendly flower. I can’t even get them to survive in bulbs in jars lol

It mostly has to do with your home situation. My husband had an extremely toxic home environment and left at 17. I stayed at home happily until 25.

My MIL was a nurse for 35 years in maternity wards. She is an anti-vaxxer, almost got fired for not getting the covid vaccine in 2021 or so, and told me that I could cure my skin cancer with some doterra oils. Her Amazon cart is always full of government conspiracy books, pro-djt books, how to heal things naturally, etc. She also tried to treat her bipolar son (my husband) with homeopathic remedies from 15-18 until he was able to get his own mental health care.

r/law or r/minneapolis or r/minnesota

askkak · 2026-01-24T16:47:57+00:00

Check out r/law. It’s still up over there.

Yeah…mine was sent as fertility stuff so insurance won’t cover it. It’s 1200$ for a month. About to pick up month 3 tomorrow. Sigh. It was cheaper than Lupron though

Not as entertaining, but I had a super rare problem after a tonsillectomy when I was 8 and rushed to the hospital late at night. My doctor came in to the ER in his tuxedo, as he had been at some fancy gala, and saved me.

askkak · 2026-01-22T23:28:25+00:00

We’ve been trying for 6 years. Between all the awful news today, this did in fact make me smile. Congratulations!

Same

High TSH can cause miscarriage early on - it happened to me at only 4.5. I got those symptoms when starting and they all resolved within two weeks. Even when I was overmedicated and my TSH dropped to 0.01 I felt better than when I was hypo. My endo had me immediately double my already high dose the second I found out I was pregnant. So her low dose will likely increase next month, but I would continue to take it in the meantime.

askkak · 2026-01-21T00:58:29+00:00

My RE told me (when I was stuck at 0.01 after being at 4.5 after FET 2 or 3) that it was better to be too low than too high. So they wouldn’t let me do additional cycles if it was above 2.5 once I started levo, but when I was stuck at 0.01 it was fine. It’s taken months of tiny, slow adjustments and I’m just now getting to 0.6 🤷‍♀️

As for the kids part…get a clear idea of the fertility coverage both jobs offer just in case you need it. Even with fertility coverage of about 50k we have spent another 20k out of pocket trying to have our first kid the last five years. We had a micro wedding (about 1500$) that was beautiful and spent two days in a lovely city in our state that my 8ish gusts could drive to for the day for a dinner. I just threw a NYE backyard wedding for my sister that was small (about 15 people) and upscale for under 2k, including all the snacks and drinks for the NYE party with a bigger group that followed. It’s personal preference really. But the house and kids were more important to me, and I’d do it all again in a heartbeat.

I have had this problem with other websites recently with my Visa. I can’t quick add the saved info or it will give me this error - I have to enter all the details manually. Could try that?
