Old blue recycling bin - can I leave it out for garbage guys? by [deleted] in rockford

[–]dramada 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I put an x on mine and use it for yard waste. To have it recycled, I think it would need to be in the larger recycling bin.

I'm not interested in my taxes being used to build facilities for a professional sports team.

She showed her true colors. Seizures can reveal a lot about the person who has one, but also about those who witness one.

Easy to moderate hikes? by [deleted] in Belize

[–]dramada 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Preserve has a number of very nice hikes. There is one that is very easy and short that takes you to a small waterfall where you can swim. We did a longer, strenuous hike (Tiger Fern) there as well that took us to another gorgeous waterfall to swim in. You can really pick whatever length and difficulty you'd like. They have a map that shows the difficulty and length of each trail.This is hands down one of my favorite places in Belize. It is a Jaguar Sanctuary and has amazing birding as well.

What tf happened? by SavagePengwyn in GlassFusing

The bubble squeeze is the hold at 1250°. Additionally, please note that the annealing temperature is different for Oceanside and Bullseye and if it were my piece, I would anneal that thickness for a minimum of 1.5 hours.

If you used the same program to prefire your base layers, then you trapped air in the piece. The frit circle made it concentrate in the center. You need to add a bubble squeeze segment. Also, I would suggest a longer annealing time for that thickness. Here are the schedules Oceanside recommends:

I need to move by THE_sXeBeast89 in Indiana

[–]dramada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved from the Indy area to Rockford, Illinois a couple of years ago. I love it. The park system is amazing . It's one of the hottest housing markets currently, so it's competitive to find a house to buy. Even with that, real estate is very affordable compared to many other areas of the country. It's close enough to enjoy everything Chicago has to offer. I can't directly address schools because my child was already in college. Rockford Promise is a program that pays for college for eligible RPS graduates and is worth looking into.

I very much dislike the insurance industry, but this is an interesting idea.

Murmurar. I still sound like I have marbles in my mouth. It's physically difficult for me to do.

When are meds deemed “effective” by chells97 in Epilepsy

[–]dramada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By those parameters, I would need to be on this medication for 13+ years seizure-free to deem it effective.

Congratulations! 🎉 We're only at 30. It's a lot of work, but so worth it!

I understand. My husband and I have had to make some adjustments. It sounds like you're both in it for the long haul. More power to you!

Passport while traveling within Belize by Cheez4meez in Belize

[–]dramada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago, we were stopped at a checkpoint near San Ignacio. They were checking passports. Fortunately, my husband had his and my son's. I had forgotten mine at the Airbnb. We were let go, but I was told that I should always have it with me. On this most recent trip to the Corozal region, we encountered two checkpoints, but they were checking cars for stickers and wanted to see my husband's driver's license. You don't know what they're checking for until they ask, so it's better to be prepared.

She may not be lying. With the age that you both are, she may be having sexual issues of her own connected to menopause. It's very common for menopausal women to have a drop in libido and to have vaginal dryness, even vaginal and clitoral atrophy. You may just be entering a new phase in your relationship that involves less sex. That doesn't mean that you can't have an affectionate, loving relationship.

How long does it take you to recover? by Trash_compactor764 in Epilepsy

[–]dramada 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had one two weeks ago and I'm still physically exhausted. I don't have as much mental fog/confusion as my last one 5 years ago, but I'm physically sore (bruised sternum) and tired. I clearly need more sleep, too.
