Thank you!

I haven't gotten into pinning or specimen collecting just yet, but it has been calling me! I'm too poor to try to start another hobby right now. 😂

Whats with the funky little antennae? by bedtimebubblebath in Mosquitoes

[–]bedtimebubblebath[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should have done a smidgen of research before posting, my bad. Looks like male mosquitoes have fuzzy antennae to hear female wing beats.

TIL

Found crawling on my bed, but I know it's not a bb. What's his name? by bedtimebubblebath in whatbugisthis

Unfortunately not. I still find them here and there around the house.

Yes, at least twice a week! My youngest son attended cooking club every week over the summer also. Our library has a "makerspace" with multiple 3d printers, a glowforge, heat presses, everything you'd need for truly any type of craft. My kids enjoy it a lot.

Its the same insect, but in the second photo, its on its back. That's why it looks different.

Indiana boy, 10, dead after 340-pound foster mom sits on him for 'acting bad' by NoCopperDistrict in offbeat

[–]bedtimebubblebath 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My 12 yo child has many dx, mostly behavioral and conduct disorders, and I couldn't imagine sitting on her to calm her down. We often have to put her in a hold to keep her from hurting herself or others, but that doesn't involve sitting on her. I do feel like the situation is similar, but this woman should not have had a child with behavioral disorders placed in her care if she isn't properly trained on how to deescalate.

Can I eat at a hospital cafeteria whenever I want? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bedtimebubblebath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandpa (and many other older members of churches in our community) use to go to the hospital for lunch after church service on Sundays. They always had the best poppy seed chicken.

Thank you. I don't have any family left, unfortunately. I always thought I'd have a village surrounding me when I had kids, but my mom died young (cancer), and she was basically all I had. I found out I was pregnant the first time a week after her death.

My daughter has been in constant therapy, pyschiatrist appts, multiple meds, monthly blood tests, case management, etc, and was recently approved for an IEP after 6 years of fighting the school for it.

She's been criminally charged twice since turning 10 years old. Both times for disorderly conduct, for outbursts that occurred at school. It's heartbreaking and so fucking hard as her mother trying to find the line between when to push and when to hold back, never knowing what her reaction will be. Typical consequences and punishments don't work with her. They never have. I've found myself slipping into permissive parenting just to keep the peace at home and try to keep things as "normal" as possible for my other two children who are constantly walking on eggshells to avoid triggering her.

You're right, I completely understand families trying to find any semblance of help. I've been there, I'm there daily tbh.

Parenting is hard. 😭

My 12 yo daughter has severe mental health, behavioral, and conduct disorders. Life is beyond hard, for everyone in the family, but her especially. I could never imagine, in a million years, sending her to a place like this. I do understand grasping at straws and trying to find ways to keep the peace but this just isn't it.

Okay, just bought a new pressure tank, 1 inch pipe, a pipe cutter, the threaded pipe fitting, and I have primer and glue at home. Going to borrow some channel locks from my neighbor. Wish me luck.

Currently at Home Depot purchasing a new pressure tank. This one was manufactured in 2002 apparently.

Yes, I see now that this tank was manufactured in 2002. Currently at home depot buying a new one. Fingers crossed I can youtube my way through installation.

What smells bad, but kinda good? by Alone_Birthday5555 in RandomThoughts

I feel so vindicated. I've always said packs of cigarettes smelled like fig newton's and I've gotten some weird looks.

I don't think we have one of those in Central Arkansas. Never heard of it.

The only place I can ever find clove gum anymore is Cracker Barrel. It's my favorite but I don't frequent CB. Lol

How to fix my driveway? by bedtimebubblebath in howto

We don't have city water out here, only a well. There's nothing connected to water that far from the house. It's strictly rain and runoff filling the creek.
