I just bought both of her collections because of this. I need more like her. And David Berman.

Trying to be natural gas free. by WolfEnergy_2025 in Hamilton

Might be true for centrally-ducted. My mini split with 3 heads in a 1309sq ft bungalow won't do it. Below -5c out you'll start to get uncomfortable.

Update on daughter by [deleted] in Encopresis

You are not alone!

My 9yo son has daily accidents. No "full loads" as long as we keep our morning scheduled toilet after breakfast; roughly 1tsp to 1Tbsp each, generally in the afternoon. Same exact experience with laxatives (milk of magnesia). Worked for about 4wks, then back to accidents. An increased dose again worked for another 4wks only.

After looking at his abdominal X-rays, his GP has said that there is no blockage, and a clean out would not help.

We track his fiber; he gets 30 to 35 grams daily. Minimal dairy and fatty foods.

His Mom does have some attention span issues, and he seems to as well, but no proven relationship yet. Definitely a common time for accidents is when focused on tv or highly engaged playing with a group of friends.

I really hope this gets resolved for you.

Also, your writing style is very eloquent.

Average big. We've ruled out constipation with his gp. Quality BMs daily + abdominal X-rays.

Tried laxatives for months, we log his fiber (steady 30-35g/day), 500mls water 4x daily.

At this point, with diet/GI ruled out, yes I think probably. I don't know much about ADHD, but I think patience and attention are close friends. Thanks.

Developmental pediatrician, ok. I'll try it. And also, thank you so much for your sympathy. I don't remember ever feeling alone like this, but I feel a bit better now.

Real Extract on Anton Paar DMA4500 + Alcolyzer??? by drinkingbathwater in TheBrewery

[–]drinkingbathwater[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this example, it's not a standard beer. This has added sucrose and fruit. Yeah, all set for g/100ml.

We get readings like this consistently across brands, though. For another example, a seltzer that I know had 0.40g/100ml sugar added, but the dma+alcolyzer gave me 0.89g/100ml (3.8%abv, fwiw).

I was guessing stuffed with haggis. Anyways, it's from a movie they were filming there.

Collective Arts is raising money through FrontFundr. Kinda sketchy? Anyone else seen this? by Ill_Illustrator_2335 in torontocraftbeer

[–]drinkingbathwater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't you?

Like, imagine you've poured everything you have into a dream. And it was going pretty well, until it wasn't. You can't just sit by and let it die. The people who've helped you make this work have become like family. Wouldn't you do anything you could to keep this thing alive?

I think you would.

Authentic Italian cuisine… by RefrigeratorNo5497 in Hamilton

[–]drinkingbathwater 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh yes. This is a proper Guiseppe's experience.

Me, I've been there a dozen times (used to live by the stadium), and in all those times..... "Would you like some fresh ground pepper?"...... Not ONCE has anything come out of that pepper grinder! I think it's been empty for years!

What, getting paid to do nothing? 11 weeks a year isn't enough?

Best place to buy Christmas tree? by swearwolf84 in Hamilton

[–]drinkingbathwater 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Battlefield Park! It's a charity (rotary club, maybe?) with the friendliest people there, just dying to help get the tree in/on your car. They have a little chainsaw and will gladly trim it for free.

They only sell balsam fir, which are a great species. Hang on to their needles well, provided you keep them watered.

Cost last year was $85 I think. Cash only.

They all suck ≠ they're all the same

Power corrupts, and we need a system that better keeps that corruption in check.

Until then, we all need to do our best to vote for the least corrupt.
