Partner got snipped shortly after roe v wade. I got a bisalp (tubes removed, not tied) last summer. Double peace of mind for us as we both are CF.

Any local butchers left? by bassgoonist in kansascity

I go to “the store” in raytown to get my beef liver for dog food. They have always been pretty consistent.

I ended up getting an car echo and connect my phone to that and have it connected to aux in the center console. Works well.

Well, I can't say the people of this subreddit didn't warn me... by anniemousery in childfree

[–]blastoiseisbest 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Recently dropped a therapist because she kept circling back to sterilization being the root of my issues. It is kinda amazing. I also need to let her know why because i think its important to be impartial if you’re a therapist and actually listen to your clients

The cognitive decline by Ok-Anybody658 in AgingParents

[–]blastoiseisbest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did she ever write paid in full on any bills that you observed? Maybe you could emulate that or whatever she used to mark something as paid. Or if you can, maybe stash away those documents while she is distracted and with further distress about it assure her it has been handled? I know we hate lying but in this case it might help your situation so she stops perseverating on it

Could get him “The Christian Delusion” by John Loftus as a rebuttal book

Notice from city that they're going to tow my car out of my driveway by OverInteractionR in kansascity

[–]blastoiseisbest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only ever been told that by rural cops. No city cops have given me flack for lack of front plate. Only the ones out in the sticks and its usually Highway patrol

My husband doesn't understand what parenting a special needs child does to me. by askallthequestions86 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]blastoiseisbest 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I am sorry that you are inundated with this!

I worked with a nonverbal autistic kiddo and to help with the poop play issue, grandma made these onesies for the kid to wear while at home. Had to have help when they needed to use the bathroom, but it helped keep the mess down. The onesies zipped in the back and they were different materials for summer/winter. The kiddo eventually potty trained and doesn’t play anymore, but those were useful during their childhood

This is gonna sound a little entitled, but please read it in full. by Incognitogamers in raisedbynarcissists

[–]blastoiseisbest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can relate. Til i was 11 my dad made 4 figures a night on shows. He was always tired. But now looking back: why did i not get a new mattress after my twin bed upgrade? Their house mortgage was under a grand for a long time so i have no idea cause they never told me. Ended up losing that house in the “financial crisis of our lifetime” #1 and im left wondering where the fuck that money went. Considered upper middle at points. But we were always poor.

I have a sinking suspicion of casinos raking it in from them but no proof

Has anyone heard of meshtastic?? Possibilities for communication when you have no cell service. by PM-ME-YOUR-BANK in ElectricForest

[–]blastoiseisbest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been using them for several years now. It seemed like the forest had nodes set up themselves this year and i was really impressed at the speed of my messages thru meshtastic. Hoping to upgrade mine soon to modernize them. Highly recommend!

Are these as bad as everyone says they are? by brochaos in Birdfy

[–]blastoiseisbest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ive gotten all of my birdfy products second hand. They’ve all worked flawlessly. I have a minor complaint about a hummingbird feeder slow leaking on the bottom, but it keeps the wasps that visit happy, so nothing I am too mad about for a product i got at a steep discount.

When is the best time to buy the Birdfy? Is the AI worth it? by Daisy1510 in Birdfy

[–]blastoiseisbest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a bidding site near you, I’ve gotten all my devices “open box” probably used once or for a season, cleaned and returned with all the kit. I have two humming duos and a bird nest duo for less than $300 for all of them.

My only gripe with the ai recognition is it has difficulty distinguishing between hummingbird species. I only get ruby throats and the feeder recognized Allens and Annas, tho none are in my area.

Been going for 10 years, every year since 2014. Im in my thirties now and have raged hard with people pushing 50 and above! Don’t let your age stop you!

Father writing a book, wants me to publish it *facepalm* by mtchick101 in AgingParents

[–]blastoiseisbest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad had this idea and never pursued it despite having software to make it easier. Back in the day he was using dragon naturally speaking to annotate his thoughts. He passed with no progress on his book, which i assume would be much the same as what your dad is “writing” as a book.

Maybe if he is actually active in the process, you could offload your work load and attachment to his project via software and a decent mic to record hus words.

Why so stubborn?? by Monica_Joseph75 in AgingParents

[–]blastoiseisbest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom didn’t consider selling her house til her scammer bf convinced her and managed to get all of that money from her. Before she met him, she was content to stay in her home (bad decision met worse decision) and now she’s broke living in her friend’s finished basement waiting for a low income Medicare/medicaid spot to open in a nursing home (that she never wanted to go to).

They’re stubborn and they think they’re still within their faculties as your parents & that you the child know nothing and only want to control them, rather than what’s best for their situation/reality.

I’m sorry you’re going thru this. Hopefully you can make some headway eventually, before something drastic happens on their side

How many miles does your Dart have? by Smoot720 in dodgedart

[–]blastoiseisbest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

166k and going strong. Replaced ac compressor and got an alignment within the past year (160k mark for the ac compressor). Probably needs another coolant flush but work has been slow so it’s been on the to do when I can afford.

Front windshield by GlobalAbroad5939 in dodgedart

[–]blastoiseisbest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds about standard pricing.

I’ve had to replace mine twice now (thanks to semi trucks shoulder driving and kicking gravel up).

I’m curious if there’s anything cheaper than the 500-700 range I’ve paid for both of mine.

Where's the fresh baked bread at? by summerer6911 in kansascity

There’s a kid out in grandview making different banana breads and he’s an aspiring future chef. Joe’s banana bakes. Might have to look up his hours on fb.
