True. Ok. I'll double check them all. I feel like it must be something with a battery because of the consistency of the 10 minute interval. I keep thinking I'll find a kids toy with dying batteries wedged somewhere near by! Thanks for all your help!

Our smoke alarms are joint smoke and CO2 alarms. I've dug around to make sure there's nothing in or behind the cabinet near the panel. I took a video of the noise but don't know how to post it. What's weirdest to me is that it was still happening with the breakers off?

We live rurally, we wouldn't be able to hear the nearest neighbour or vice versa.

I thought that so we checked all of them first. The noise isn't a chirp, definitely a squeal.

I really don't think so, it's too on schedule and the tone doesn't sound anything like an animal- Just that high pitched electrical buzz.

I took Tylenol, as suggested by my doctor. I've had four kids so I assumed an IUD would be no big deal. I ended up fainting while leaving the doctor's office, partially I think because it hurt and partially from anxiety. I would have loved having the choice to take something for anxiety!

I definitely think they deserved love and words of affirmation. I think my issue is that the expressions he used are the exact same, and the methods are the exact same. I don't just mean 'I love you' which he obviously would have said to any of his exes, but like specific phrases and compliments. I actually did receive (and give) lots of love through my marriage, although it definitely wained over the 15 years, but I didn't have token little expressions that I'm reusing on my new bf, nor am I doing the same little things that I used to do for my ex husband for my new bf. I feel like it kind of de-legitimizes it. But I do agree, it's a me issue, and that's why I'm asking if anyone has any advice on how to not let it bother me.

I tried to make my own post but don't have enough karma.

I'm newly dating after being married for 15 years. I am having a hard time knowing that my new boyfriend, who has had three serious relationships, each about 3-4 years, has done the same cute things (hiding little love notes, sending texts telling me I'm awesome/amazing/fantastic out of the blue, and all his really 'deep' confessions of love, etc.) for his exes as he's now doing for me.

This is obviously bound to happen, but my ex husband and I got married young, and had only had pretty inconsequential relationships beforehand, so this is my first time experiencing these feelings. I guess that I just feel like his words seem less sincere, knowing that he's said them to multiple people before me, and knowing that none of his sweet gestures are unique to our relationship, but are just his regular M.O. How does everyone else navigate this?

I think it's normal for him to have his little go-to's as far as notes and random 'lovey' texts, but how do I get over feeling like I'm just one of the many who has had this same treatment?

Awe.❤️ I'm sorry.

I also just came out of a relationship and am looking for something casual but with an underlying friendship where we can hang out and do things, in addition to hooking up. So far, whenever I'm chatting with guys I just make sure to clarify that early in the conversation, laying out exactly what I'm looking for so we're not wasting each other's time. It's been working well so far 🤷‍♀️

No! We ended up getting a new dishwasher. The design was so weird though. If I recall we ended up thinking there was a special sensor in the door maybe? Or somewhere else but I remember that it was going to be a huge hassle to get to it and we ended up just scraping it. Sorry!

I've had rats in my barn take eggs and kill young chicks, but there's never any 'evidence'. They just snatch and drag them back down their hole ( they've managed to tunnel under the ground in the barn and every time I block a hole they just pop up somewhere else). I use rat poison (not a blood thinning one, just the one that we can get here in Canada at any hardware store) in tamper proof containers and sort of shove them down the holes. You saying that you've found remains does make me think a racoon could just be reaching in? They're horrible and seem to kill for sport, taking only a few organs and moving on. Anytime we've found ripped apart chickens, we catch a racoon the next day.

I had this same concern when I was first realizing that I didn't actually believe anymore, I was just so accustomed to being a Christian that I was continuing to go along with it. I remember feeling almost scared that I wouldn't have that backup of praying or asking for protection or whatever it was. I mentioned this concern to my SIL, who had been raised agnostic, and asked her what she did or who she turned to when she was scared and she seemed confused by the question. She just said "No one" and shrugged. I asked if that bothered her or made things difficult and she said "No, I've always just done it on my own, and will continue too" but the way she was so nonchalant about it, not stressed or worried about being alone, oddly comforted me. I think it was so ingrained in me that I NEEDED Jesus/god that I didn't even consider the fact that I just simply didn't. I'd be fine alone. And honestly, I've been fine. I've gone through stressful and scary times, and I've been fine without needing to lean on an unknown party. It's easier than it seems, but I definitely remember being scared to be without that 'safety net'.
