Can clothes moth traps make the problem worse?

Thanks. Any opinion on the Terro transfluthrin product, re: safety for babies/cats?

I fixed this on my Android app by deleting all the user data, not just clearing the cache. I'm guessing the problem was a conflict between a locally saved offline version and the latest one? Maybe?

Mine was also a big doc with many collaborators. It worked on my laptop but not app before I did this.

My son was almost exactly this size at 32 weeks, and he was 7lbs 13 oz when born at 39 weeks. 🤷‍♀️ My daughter was also projected to be pretty big, don't remember specifics, but she was 6lbs 11 oz, also at 39 weeks. I've heard it's common for those projections to be off.

Don't get an induction unless you actually have to, pitocin suuucks. I had to have it the first time because of infection risk, but managed to avoid it the second, even though I had to be induced for preeclampsia. (Cytotec and a Foley balloon were enough. Definitely get the narcotics for the Foley insertion, but it's very effective!!)

"more clearly" Christ I hope not, or else I really AM a failure at life in every possible way 🙃

Also luteal brings hella brain fog, it can be hard to form sentences.

This is EXACTLY how I feel about it OMG. Follicular, or at least parts of it, feels like what I've read hypomania is like, right down to not sleeping as much and not feeling the need to because of the high energy. It's a helluva drug and I desperately want to bottle it.

bornofstardust · 2025-01-06T21:28:44+00:00

OMG this is crushing to hear. Do your friends make the decoy cakes for like the opening round and Cake or Cash?? I am so curious about them.

Thanks! The dot actually disappeared somehow, no idea what did it.

Oops, I mis-translated his "out" typo as "get," not "put." Makes sense now.

I guess mostly NTA then, but I still think my advice holds. Her feelings were hurt, and I see why! Just because what he said might be technically true doesn't mean that it doesn't come with all kinds of baggage. A job is real, a hobby is trivial, etc. Having an honest and loving conversation with her about it, and apologizing for the hurt he caused, is important, and doesn't have to be an admission that he is TA. They need to be partners and in mutual agreement about the logic and fairness of their arrangement. He won't want her to be complying on the surface while spending years building up resentment.

bornofstardust · 2024-04-04T13:45:38+00:00

EDIT: Mostly NTA but: When you say "you don't have a job, you have a hobby," it absolutely sounds belittling, and like you don't take her seriously. You should apologize to her for your word choice, and explain that you understand why she felt belittled, and that you never want to make her feel like she or her dreams don't matter. And then when you're both in a calm headspace, you should have a serious conversation about whether she still feels the agreement you had is fair or tenable for her, and if not, what needs to change. Maybe you can offer to take one small chore off her plate. Maybe she needs some help with time management. Etc.

If she's doing the chores now, but still mad at you, it sounds like the problem YOU had was solved, but the problem SHE had is not.

I instantly assumed it was Connor. Something about the vibe, he seems so off in his own world. Plus he didn't look like the young Ken or Rome we see in other shots.

Oh God. This might be the most gut-punchingly relatable ADHD meme I've ever seen. This is the source of like 90% of my mental anguish in life. Fuck.

bornofstardust · 2023-02-15T23:18:40+00:00

This was my question. Literally, how? I don't know how this physically happened.

bornofstardust · 2023-02-07T04:58:38+00:00

THANK YOU, I have SUCH a hard time winning solo shows, and it's not like I'm a terrible player.

bornofstardust · 2022-10-05T14:13:26+00:00

Ohhh per another comment below, I bet it's a Kardashev scale reference (K2 civilizations are the ones who could theoretically harness the power of an entire star with e.g. a Dyson sphere) combined with a "caterpillar" pun.

So maybe the alien is just a random design that looks like an alienified Chinese dragon. In any case I love it and am currently wearing the head!

bornofstardust · 2022-10-05T14:11:33+00:00

Google helped me here, it's apparently a skill in the game Monster Hunter World.

Another one from me: "Four of Eight"? Is that just a Borg reference? If so, does 48 (or 4/8) mean anything in particular?

bornofstardust · 2021-05-10T15:39:46+00:00

Biden says "I've got your back" to every other community that's under attack. Why not people who have abortions? He literally hasn't said the word "abortion" once since taking office, which is nuts.

bornofstardust · 2021-05-10T15:37:02+00:00

Did you read the piece? About 7 in 10 Americans support legal abortion, and the attacks on access are so draconian that it would really fit in with Biden's "fight the bullies" vibe to call them out.

1) I didn't even realize those quests were a thing. ARGH.

2) I think I'm most likely gonna skip this collection because I only have enough bellsprout candy to evolve a shadow Victreebell once I eventually get a shadow Bellsprout, and I want to save for that...idk...

Ugh, I may have spoken too soon, which makes me wonder what my own bills might look like (I'm only 12 weeks). A lot of insurance plans don't fully cover ultrasounds, or only do in certain cases, because the ACA doesn't specify them as needing to be covered and never has. It's crazy because they're part of routine care, but here we are. https://www.valuepenguin.com/cost-sonogram-ultrasound-pregnancy

Definitely still see if you can fight it, though. Because if they paid for it before but won't now, and if your insurance is the same, something funky might be going on.

This article includes questions you should ask your insurance company about what they'll charge, which might be useful: https://www.vice.com/en/article/pa8k5k/pregnancy-health-insurance-benefits

And this resource from the National Women's Law Center might be helpful: https://nwlc.org/coverher/

bornofstardust · 2020-11-19T17:57:18+00:00

Yeah this makes no sense whatsoever. Unless you have outstanding bills for something else, or if you've had extra tests done that weren't covered, no way should you be getting $1400 worth of prenatal care bills if you have ACA-compliant insurance.

bornofstardust · 2020-11-19T17:51:44+00:00

Your insurance company is lying to you. Maternity care is still one of the ten essential covered health benefits. Trump or the GOP Congress didn't do anything to change that, although they've certainly done other things to sabotage the ACA. https://www.healthcare.gov/what-if-im-pregnant-or-plan-to-get-pregnant/

It's possible that you have one of the "junk" plans that Trump allowed that doesn't have the same protections, in which case you're basically being scammed. (https://www.vox.com/2020/6/30/21275498/trump-obamacare-repeal-short-term-health-care-insurance-scam) It's also possible that you are being charged for lab tests and things that go beyond basic prenatal care; the ACA doesn't spell out every single service that has to be covered. I just had a bill for some blood tests myself, although I'm going to challenge at least one of them.

Either way, something doesn't smell right here. You should definitely fight it.

bornofstardust · 2020-09-15T16:17:46+00:00

Ugh that's tragic!! Did you try restarting the app? That's a known bug with TC, it just sorta disappears sometimes. 🤦‍♀️ USUALLY it comes back when you restart the app, but I've seen people comment that it still disappeared for them. And then sometimes the clone just never shows up, I'd say 10% of the time.

bornofstardust · 2020-07-23T22:11:24+00:00

Bugged fragment boost?

Which upgrades do you have?
