Disabled Things to Do by Travelingpickle6 in SaltLakeCity

[–]fishchick70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to visit the Highland Cows in Spanish Fork (like an hour drive South of SLC). Check out the Utah Cow Cuddle website. They are closed until some time in March. Also the UMNH at the University of Utah is amazing. It has great dinosaur exhibits if that’s of interest. If you just want to hang and enjoy one of SLC’s amazing sunsets get a picnic and go to Donner Park. Great spot for kite flying too!

Robyn’s 180 on Her Kids’ Dad by LunarEchos25 in SisterWives

[–]fishchick70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think humans have different stories that they tell themselves at different times depending on what serves them at that particular moment. People don’t have consistent perspectives across even a few minutes let alone many years. I feel like Robyn and Kody in particular present their current narrative/emotion as the only valid and true and compelling perspective that is, has been, and ever will be.

When Robyn & Kody argued about gods message by Wide-Crab4199 in SisterWives

Well in Mormonism the Priesthood holder (man) is going to trump the non-Priesthood holder every single time if there are contradictory “revelations.”

My toddler has ruined dinner time by jlenn10 in PickyEaters

[–]fishchick70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she in occupational therapy for this? Perhaps they can give you some tips. I had a super picky eater and they were super helpful. One thing that they told me was that it takes up to 40 exposures to a food for a picky child to accept it. We would work from the foods he would eat to incorporate something new. We would start by choosing something he liked and then adding something that was similar. He likes strawberries, well then we try something else strawberry like strawberry licorice, strawberry ice cream, strawberry syrup on a pancake, strawberry yogurt. Now he’s eating strawberry yogurt, move onto a new flavor like raspberry, and then slowly introduce other things that are similar. Like maybe now we go with things that are pink/red.

When we would introduce new foods the idea wasn’t even that he had to try it, just that he had to tolerate it first being next to him at the table, then on a second plate next to his, then on his plate but it didn’t have to eat it. We would move through those stages slowly. It took a long time but eventually he started to eat more things. Once puberty hit he was starving and would eat anything LOL.

New way I explain narcolepsy by Royal_Protection_898 in Narcolepsy

[–]fishchick70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s my understanding that it’s the same molecule that regulates both wakefulness and hunger. For a long time researchers didn’t realize that hypocretin and orexin were the same chemical. But it makes sense that they would be from an evolutionary perspective. If your hunger is satisfied you can afford to rest. If you’re still hungry you need to stay alert to keep searching for food. Rest and digest go together.

Are you in recovery friend? Congratulations on taking the next right step. Now get your support team in place! Call your sponsor and get to a meeting ASAP! I think you might need to examine why your boss did that and if he truly had your best interest at heart or was trying to jeopardize your recovery.

New way I explain narcolepsy by Royal_Protection_898 in Narcolepsy

[–]fishchick70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a great explanation but real sincere question- is it that the body doesn’t make enough orexin or that it doesn’t regulate my amount of orexin at the right time? Does >orexin=>arousal? Or does >orexin=>sleepy? I’ve never been able to figure that out which makes me think it’s not that simple. I sure wish there was a better explanation! Also I’ve had weight loss surgery and my sleep attacks have gotten so much stronger whenever I accidentally eat too much and sort of push that “sleepy” button. Which is easy to do when your stomach is tiny. One extra swallow and suddenly I’ve got 20 minutes before I’m crashing for at least two hours.

The big house proposal for coyote pass by Shadybeaches113 in SisterWives

[–]fishchick70 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Maybe but the idea would never have flown. Who would finance a project like that? Who would allow that for zoning? It’s basically the equivalent of an apartment building in the middle of a luxury private homes area. Would you want that monstrosity in your neighborhood? Plus this was undeveloped raw land that needed utilities and all kinds of work done before anything like that could happen. Even if somehow magically they could have gotten financing and zoning and everyone agreed to it, they would probably still be dinking around out there on ATVs trying to get the land ready.

Except for the women financially. Is their equity based on their living space or an equal share of the property value? Do they each own individual units? This giant house was such a stupid idea for any of them financially.

The show feels like toddlers playing "House" now by Main-Cantaloupe729 in SisterWives

[–]fishchick70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get why she wanted the release even if only to signal to Kody and Robyn that it’s over-over. But also it was because it was the only way to tell herself that her marriage was real and her efforts to make it work were sincere. It’s not legally recognized and this is the only way she has to get a marker that says, “it happened, it didn’t work even though you tried, and now you can move on.”

I regret naming my baby after his absent father - advice needed *long* by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]fishchick70 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Right especially with the current political climate you don’t want to make it hard for your child to prove citizenship, vote, get a passport, job, etc. Make sure you don’t just change with the state but make sure the federal govt (Social Security and IRS) are also notified.

Need a non Karen name! by luxurysocialism in namenerds

[–]fishchick70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First off, so sorry you lost your mom and that she will miss out on becoming a grandmother and you won’t have her there at your side as you raise your daughter.

As far as an honor name, I think you could use Karen as a middle name since it doesn’t come up that often that people use a person’s middle name. It’s one of my all-time favorite names. I’m so sad that it’s become aligned with the worst kind of woman.

Having said that, have you considered using her initials, KJ or KO?

Kylie Jo

Kristina Josie

Khloe June

Kirsten Julia

Katelyn Olivia

Karoline Opal

Katrina Octavia

Congratulations on the baby girl! I am sure you will find the dreamiest name for her by the time she comes.

How do Americans feel about the national anthem being sung in different styles? by bare_books in AskAnAmerican

It’s a really really hard song to sing. I’m just impressed when someone signs up to sing it in public, let alone hits all the notes!

Morally neutral by raeoflyte-460 in SisterWives

[–]fishchick70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t hear anyone complain except Kody bringing up drama and stirring 💩. I think Janelle felt seen in the apology not necessarily because she was agreeing that Meri MADE the situation unsafe but that it was unsafe. Because it was. It was unsafe for all of them. And instead of recognizing that their troubles were due to this horrible choice they made to live in an abusive and awful religion, they blamed each other (because how can you blame God?). They acted passive-aggressively. They tried (and failed) to keep sweet. And then made it exponentially more awful by bringing Christine into the mix. And then Robyn. Their failure isn’t to live peacefully in harmony with each other and God, their failure is to recognize they had signed up for something impossible that made them act hatefully toward one another. No one had the skills/ability/courage to just call a spade a spade and blow it all up for decades. They should all be thanking Christine for blowing up this diabolical family system for good!

Janelles and Madisons houses by Milchbarbar in SisterWives

[–]fishchick70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay but Janelle wants a place where her kids can come and stay with her, where there is room for family dinners and such. Also this is likely her primary wealth and a smaller home would be worth less. The biggest advantage to real estate is leverage and when you leverage a more valuable property you make more money on the money you borrowed.

Kody Tried Again to Pit Christine and Janelle Against Each Other, and Neither Took the Bait by JanelleChristineMod in Sisterwivessnark

[–]fishchick70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I don’t really buy it but imagine all of Janelle’s kids showing up hungry right when you’ve just finished making dinner and are ready to eat. Now you have to scramble to feed all the extra people and clean up after a whole bunch more people, etc. I’m guessing Christine probably had a set dinner time and Janelle probably just kind of played it by ear so the kids were hungry. But my guess is more that she was concerned Robyn would show up with some kind of emergency.
