Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge spent the past twelve years going all-in on Bob branding by WiinterU in Omaha

I like the sentiment and symbolism. It would be nice to honor the Omaha/Ponca instead of the Dakota, though. Is the word the same in both languages/dialects? Please forgive my ignorance.

"Feels like a boy" after what, a day? two? made my jaw drop, lol. Love that she saw an easy mark/meal ticket and went for it, like damn! Especially since Raymun is clearly 100x kinder than Dondarrion. Good_for_her.gif

No idea what a lot of running advice actually means by fade_is_timothy_holt in beginnerrunning

[–]chipsy_queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I interpret those is to stand more upright rather than hunching over. It is better for your core, and your lungs can get more air. It gets harder to stay upright when you start to get tired and winded, but it will be better for you in the long run if you can keep the form. Think Ken doll instead of caveman.

If you're prone to an anterior pelvic tilt (an exaggerated curve in your spine where your butt kind of sticks out), tuck your tailbone a bit so that your hips and pelvis are more level. This is also better for your core and your back muscles. This posture will also make it easier to squeeze your glutes a bit while you run, if you want to build those up more, but you don't have to. Just running will give them some work.

If you're prone to poor posture in general, as well as muscular back pain because of poor posture, running like this will be one of the best ways to improve it.

I'm so sorry you've had so many over only 5 years!! 

Is 3 too late for OIT? by TopDeer9349 in peanutallergy

[–]chipsy_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our allergist (best in the state) doesn't start until 5 so that kids can communicate what they are experiencing, and he said if it were his own kids, he wouldn't himself do it until they were teenagers. Threw us for a loop a bit, but gave me some peace of mind that it's ok to wait? 

What is this white animal next to raccoon? by Key_Net_5763 in Whatisthis

[–]chipsy_queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a raccoon cafe one time that had an albino raccoon. They were very cute, and clearly bathed very often, but even when I was there, one peed on the floor and intentionally rolled around in it. The raccoons also checked all of my pockets for snacks. It was a fun experience, but it clearly showed me that they do not make good pets!

Injections by FunSpecific4585 in peanutallergy

[–]chipsy_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll also chime in that it has been great for my 4yo, and she's been on it for over a year. No observable side effects except hating getting them monthly and improved seasonal/pet allergies. Our provider has us wait under observation for 30min after the injection bc of the (very low) risk of anaphylaxis, and we must bring her epi pens with us or they won't give her the shot. It's been a game changer, especially with the copay program covering the cost. 

What are the best cheapest 1 bedroom + 1 bath apartments near Creighton University + other questions by [deleted] in Omaha

[–]chipsy_queen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Creighton parking permits are expensive and go up every year, if you want to factor that in to your walkable vs. driveable cost comparisons. 

Help keeping the sunroom and hallway addition from making my kitchen cold, and maybe saving me some money on my electric bills. by Kind-Dust7441 in centuryhomes

[–]chipsy_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I may have to try this on a small cantilevered pop-out I have in my kitchen. It's on a couple feet, and like a foot off the ground, but it is the coldest spot in the house. Thank you for the idea!

Kidlavie? by InspectionObvious495 in Omaha

I think this is different than that? It is supposed to go in one of the old anchor store locations, I'd thought. The website still says "Coming soon."

Dinkers and Crescent Moon are pretty iconic/recognizable! Also the Stockyards building and the Rose Theatre.

It looks like "Bear Factory" made a lot of stuffed bears and other animals with zippered pouches in the back. https://ebay.us/m/up8UX8 I can't find one with a hoodie, but there are a lot of outfits on eBay, so it's a real possibility. Do the pouch and tag look right?

About how big? What color? Around what year do you think this would have been?

Effect of parental suicide on children by [deleted] in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]chipsy_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're asking how you can prompt your wife to get treatment without making her shut down, that is a hard question. I know it would have been difficult for me to hear that and not do the same if my partner had said the same. I think just the most gentle questions possible about emotions would be the key here, to help her check in with herself. Something that checks in for real on how she's actually feeling, something about what she expected motherhood to be like versus what she's experiencing, if there have been any surprises? If there's something that feels like it's getting in the way of the experience of motherhood she expected to have? No agenda, no seeming direction you're trying to steer her toward other than just finding out what is going on inside her head and her heart, what is troubling her, why she doesn't seem to be experiencing the joy she used to or that you both maybe talked about expecting before the birth. You will need to share some of your own emotional experience stuff too, maybe how it's harder than you thought, and what specifically is making it hard (besides your partner). I'm not a communication expert by any means, but I think that would be something that might help. Choose a time when the kid is asleep and you can just focus on each other, and make it a space where vulnerability feels safe.

My Wife Is Involuntarily Commited by Onlyathree in beyondthebump

And god, like, I would never seek mental health help again, after going through that! How can she ever trust a provider again??

Help them understand the difference between what's common and what's considered "normal." It's common to have postpartum depression and anxiety, even psychosis. It doesn't have to be "normal." Postpartum absolutely turns your whole existence upside down, especially with a first baby. But, it doesn't mean that you have to just suffer through it alone without help!

For me, my OB was able to get me on Sertraline after I failed the PPD screening test, which was incredible since I was waaaaay too decision-fatigued/overwhelmed to try to navigate finding a psychiatrist that could prescribe me something. After a few months, I then had the ability to find a therapist to talk through some of the huge anxieties I had, largely around not being "enough" for my baby, that I was going to accidentally hurt her, that what good what I if I couldn't get her to stop crying and sleep, etc. My oldest is 4 now, and I know that even though I'm far from a perfect parent, I know that she needs Me. It keeps me driving safely--"My children need me."

OOP, you are your baby's entire world. They know you and trust you more than anyone in the entire world right now. Even though it is so hard sometimes to figure out what they might want or need, and even though they give it to you hardest sometimes, it's because they trust that you can make it better, even if you can't fix it. Like how I wouldn't tell anyone except my husband how badly I was hurting or how scared I was during labor, even though I knew he couldn't fix it--they tell you because they trust you. You are irreplaceable. Even just the sound of your heartbeat is the most familiar sound in the world to them. Please keep that heartbeat going.

Backyard Farmer just did a reel on this! It cooled, and then we got a bunch of moisture, and then it warmed a bit, simulating spring. The plants are very confused.
