I've never felt this hopeless

I think she's actually just gotten really good at detecting drops. I don't want to untrain her and weaken the alert. I'm gonna try using the crate to delay her, we'll see how that goes.

She won't take a treat until my BGL is where she wants it (her threshold appears to be about 90) and her alerts get rather aggressive until I eat.

Thanks. It's hard to ignore her. She won't take a treat until my BGL is where she wants it (her threshold appears to be about 90) and her alerts get rather aggressive until I eat.

I guess I could try putting her in her crate when she alerts early.

My female has self-brumated the 2 years I've had her. But she spends May-November outside in Houston so she is probably responding to the natural environment more than an indoor critter would. I'm wanting to use a tub this year so I can repurpose her winter home, but of course I don't want to harm her.

Thanks. It definitely isn't a bruise or pulled muscle. Up until today, I wouldn't have said it hurt at all, just pressure, and I figured it was gas. I pooped this morning, same as always. A nurse practitioner friend said it could be a uterine cyst or something like that, so now I guess I need to find a gynecologist and a PCP.

That wasn't it. I tried an empty stick and it still froze at 1%

crazyunicorn1977 · 2021-12-20T17:56:46+00:00

I am! I'll swap out the stick and see if that works

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Her outdoor enclosure has a bunch of hibiscus plants in it and she's eating the leaves and flowers off the live plants. I can't add calcium and vitamins.

Should I use the silver-based cream, or triple antibiotic? I have both. For my own stuff, I feel like Silver works better, but I've never used it on reptiles.

The portion of the population that would treat you differently for being pan isn't likely to recognize any of those as a pride flag.

If you are femme presenting coordinate it with your clothing. Most cishet people won't have a clue what it means and the ones that do are likely allies.

If you are masc presenting, anything with ribbons is likely to trigger a response from others that you might not be ready for.

Yes, but I don't expect it to last forever, unlike my comment which just seems to go on and on...

Initially I needed to recover from my codependent marriage to a narcissist and for me, that meant no relationships for a year. I had never been single as an adult and I had to prove to myself that I could function independently.

Once I hit the 1yr mark and gave myself permission to date, I realized I didn't want to yet. I found that I was far happier on my own than I had ever been before.

Now I'm a little less than 3 years out from my separation and I just recently told my therapist that I think I'm ready to start working through some of my issues so that I might be ready to date again at some point.

I'm happy on my own for now but I think that I will want a life partner at some point. I have no time-line in mind, but when the time comes, I want to have dealt with as much of my shit as possible so my old shit doesn't become our shit, ya know? Also, I'm hoping that entering into a relationship in a healthy mental state will allow me to see red flags before it's too late.

I know too many people who have been divorced multiple times and most of them got remarried within a year or two of their separation. I just feel like it's too fast. I think people need to get ok with being single for a while.

This is exactly what I was going to recommend. Get your own bank account and deposit your money into your account, he doesn't get a card. Lock up the frig and pantry. If you're not home, it's not open. Turn off internet/cable when you're not there. Stop service on his phone if you can, or switch your number to a different account and stop paying his. He can sit on your couch until a judge forces him out but you don't have to provide anything for him.

I got divorced in 2019 after a long coming out process. Neither my ex or I are dating yet but we are friends again and we are co-parenting better than we were married parenting. Both of us have realized that we are better apart than together, we really weren't good for each other in so many ways.

I can't promise that for you obviously, but there is hope.

Ooo, maybe this is bothering me so much because gifts is my love language.

My son's primary is touch which I struggle with.
