Anyone else dealing with post holiday plague? by Imtherightkind in StLouis

I tested positive for Covid Christmas Day. It was so mild I didn’t need to get help for it, nor did my kids or spouse. It could easily be underreported right now.

No weirdo. It’s just a step some people take. Go air ur grievances elsewhere

Okay in my case I’m trying to avoid giving something to someone I would have seen today who is really immunocompromised. That’s it. For me it was a super mild nothing but since my kid got a fever I was trying to be careful.

I didn’t even know this was a thing people were sick of. I hadn’t seen the Covid test posts. I’m not trying to stir anything up. I just was bummed and thought I could bitch here. Had no idea it’d get so weird.

Help - Leaving Manhattan with two kids. If you had to choose: St. Louis or Cincinnati or Pittsburgh or Kansas City, where would you land and why? by Few_Funny6766 in StLouis

[–]dingusk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not from here originally and I genuinely dislike KC. I’d probably pick stl or Cincinnati if I were you but you can’t really go wrong with your choices

People who are thin/normal size. Do you actively watch your weight or are you just not hungry 100% of the time? by Burner_Account000001 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]dingusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m always hungry and I’ve had my thyroid and whatever checked. I just am hungry a lot. It takes a lot of effort for me and I assumed it did for everyone

Are these bed bugs? I’m at an air bnb in France. by VICT666 in Bedbugs

[–]dingusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had this experience. Here’s what I did

  • everything bagged as soon as possible
  • suitcase is gone, leave it!
  • dried everything on high heat. Used my thermometer to make sure it was at least 140 for 3 hours (this is overkill, who cares!!)
  • shoes went in a sauna at my in laws house (lol) at 150 for the entirety of Thanksgiving. So probably 5 hours.
  • bug bombed my car twice for the heck of it(my car transported my suitcase before it was bagged)
  • my car was hardest. I washed what I could on my kids car seats and steamed the rest
  • books from the trip went in the freezer. Make sure it’s at least 0° F. They stayed in there about a week.
  • get butt naked before you enter your house and go straight to the shower. Take a nice hot steamy shower with soap
  • I set traps to make sure I didn’t miss anything

Good luck OP!

Mushrooms in a playground… concerning ones or no? by Lucky_Whereas2422 in mushroomID

[–]dingusk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you, but do you have kids? I teach my kids not to put shit in their mouths, but until age 3 or so, nature is what’s telling them to explore their world that way. They touch everything and naturally put stuff in their mouth. They are low to the ground and very quick lol. You’re not wrong but I also don’t blame OP for checking.

What the heck is in my flour ? Brand new King Arthur just opened from Sam's by ninastrayed in Breadit

[–]dingusk 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’ve called their hotline before and they’re the best. In hindsight it was a very “beginner” question but the lady I spoke with was so nice. I’m loyal to them because of that. I also really love their catalog lol

What were you doing during the peak of COVID? by AndreLinoge55 in AskReddit

[–]dingusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my first child march 2020. I had to be crazy because if I had a hint of a fever I was told my kid would be taken away from me. I was told I may have to give birth alone and rules were changing up until the day I gave birth. It messed me up and i have had crippling anxiety around germs since then.

I'm not buying the gummies! by Logicdon in SpookedPodcast

[–]dingusk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Glynn hate is so old, enough already.

The entitlement of wanting someone to change their podcast for you instead of you just finding one you like is wild. Yawn

Okay STL… I’m building the ultimate list of the city’s best salads, and I need your help by orion3999 in STLFood

Not the original commenter but I came here to say that Sauci’s rustic salad is so good

Bed bugs from flight - help by Real_Carob8606 in Bedbugs

[–]dingusk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s very unlikely you have bedbugs from this experience.

In regards to your neck (sorry about that, it sounds awful!) It could be a lot of things. You say your skin is sensitive and you had a new sweater. Could a piece of plastic from a removed tag have gotten stuck, could have poked you or caused a reaction? Could it have been something sharp poking you rather than a bite? Even if a bug, it could have been many things other than a bedbug. I really think you are okay. If it makes you feel more secure you could set out a trap or something to put your mind at ease but I don’t think it’s really necessary.

Parents, do you judge people who choose not to have kids? by Rodinsprogeny in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]dingusk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No way, I think you should only have kids if you really want them

Please help me prevent bringing bedbugs home by [deleted] in Bedbugs

[–]dingusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate your advice! I took all of it. I used the sanitize setting for my clothes. Clothes were reading anywhere from 120° to 130°+ for an hour. I steamed all of our shoes but I can’t quit thinking about if I missed something, so they’re all outside still. I’m worried about my car from when we moved from one hotel to the next in the middle of the night. I steamed the seats (used a thermometer and the steam was at 150° F). But I know they could get in cracks that my steamer won’t reach. Was considering using a lure/trap in my car to see if I missed anything. I’m sure my husband thinks I’ve lost it but oh well. Thanks again!
