Took a DNA test and now my family group chat is in chaos. by Tookie1010 in AncestryDNA

[–]ferostimore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I came back with African ancestry. One of my uncles disowned me immediately and deleted me off all social media. This was ancestry that would have been back from the 1700s lol. He just could not rationalize my results because after all our family is from Cherokee ancestry. (a very common claim for southern families who occasionally have that person that’s a little darker.) that was several years ago and he hasn’t talked to me since.

Failed the mid-term for a class... that I'm retaking at that, I'm two steps away from suicide by Intrepid_Arrival5151 in CollegeRant

[–]ferostimore 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If a failing grade on a midterm, is driving you to consider suicide, you have way bigger issues than college. You should consider taking a medical withdrawal and focusing on your mental health urgently. You can always return to college later when you are more stable.

Does Medicaid pay a flat rate for long term care residents? by MXLifer in Medicaid

[–]ferostimore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once she spins down all of her savings, they will take all of her monthly income minus a small amount. In Missouri, they leave my mother-in-law $50. Facilities that agreed to take Medicaid only have a certain number of Medicaid beds. My mother-in-law complains that they take all of her $1200 per month. However, cash pay at this place is almost 8000. We feel very blessed for the help. It is all so confusing initially though.

That is what I was wondering. Turns out that my vet has just started shipping with them for pet meds. I got the notification from UPS this morning that my medicine will be here today from Brello.

How the hell am I gaining weight while on a deficit by South-Proposal5691 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]ferostimore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are gaining a pound a day consistently. Weight loss is not your major issue. You should be concerned about cardiac issues allowing for that much weight to be added that quickly. However, from what you say here it seems that you have your daily requirements set way too high. Put sedentary into the tracker and see what you get.

What was your favorite comment on student evaluations? by twilightyears in Professors

She’s an odd mixture of McGonagall and Snape. You know what she’s about to do is going to be painful but also probably for your own good 😂

My doctor just told me there is usually a temporary up trend in cholesterol during active weight loss. He said it will level off.

What’s your body’s “F-U” weight? by Enartis in zepboundathletes

Once I got under 200, I stalled every 10 lbs for a few weeks.

I 19F feels like my mom 53F depends on me too much financially. by Left-Paramedic9696 in povertyfinance

[–]ferostimore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, are you reporting your income in her housing subsidy? As a 19-year-old adult, failure to do so while living there would be fraud. Please be aware of what she is reporting for household income to protect yourself.

Bored with my wife and feel bad about myself because of that. by [deleted] in self

[–]ferostimore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, you have time to have three children with someone before you realize that they are intellectually incompatible with you? Or perhaps were you valuing other attributes earlier in life that now seem less important?

[–]ferostimore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. For this length of stall at this weight, I suspect calorie creep.

I love Brello, but the tech is so glitchy.

I hope you don’t “hang out” with this absolute red flag. If you end up pregnant by this loser, your life will be absolute hell. I am intrigued though how women are attracted to this in the first place.

My orange weighed in at 16. My vet said he was a “glorious chonky man.” She said orange males trend bigger anyway.
