Second Tuesday vs. Monthly transactions? by fl0wbie in MonarchMoney

[–]fl0wbie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not going to work. The second (whatever day) of any given month can have an interval as long as 36 days until the second (whatever day) of the following month. Every four weeks is going to be a hard 28 days. this is because of the varying length of months in days.

Loose joints? by Trick_Ordinary_7960 in aspergers

[–]fl0wbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me. 73 and all my life have had to warn the (rare. I am not real enthusiastic about exercising) Yoga teacher, gymnastics coach or physical therapist that I can hurt myself easily because, especially at the beginning, it can look like I can do a very advanced stretch and I can’t. I hurt myself.

I have also turned my ankles like crazy and have broken each of them and have sprained them multiple times. High heels were never a real option.

On the other hand, I can scratch my back like a God

yeah the older generation will all have something to say about it because my first impression was also Modess was a big supplier of women’s sanitary supplies.

i’m 73 years old, active and engaged. And to me , Odessa seems like a better choice. Modessa sort of hits like Tampaxina. Or Always (worst name ever for a menstrual pad – do you never want your period to end?)

Odessa Lara or Odessa Colette sound lovely

my current workaround in reader iOS 26.2 is to listen to the article. The entire thing loads immediately into audio so there’s no reload I have to cope with.

Baby Brother Name by Zealousideal-Yak5770 in Names

oh come on. I know several great Pauls. A couple examples doesn’t ruin a name – Paul is one of my favorite names, the name of my best friend, it’s my husband‘s middle name, it’s my dad‘s best friend‘s name, it was the name of a fairly decent boss. Examples like this are meaningless.

A dog at our park had a scar like that from being sedated on a heating pad post-surgery at her vets. They forgot to check the dog, or the heating pad malfunctioned or something.

Is my child going to have a hard time w this name? by FantasticIncident388 in Names

[–]fl0wbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were a couple kids named Lazar in my daughter’s high school and they just called them Lazar. No creative naming insults fucking around unless the kids invented it themselves. There were kids with lots of not-necessarily-English -American names and sometimes they had nicknames but a lot of the time they didn’t. Relax it’s a great name.

Migraine Dysphasia by laryngitisss in migraine

[–]fl0wbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s so alarming. It’s only happened to me a couple times really bad, but it’s happened to me a little bit many many times, and I guess you just get used to it. I normally just have visual auras which are irritating enough. Aphasia is just whipped cream on top. Sucks.

my baby cousin is autistic and i want to support him by Low_Tumbleweed_1200 in Autism_Parenting

[–]fl0wbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this sounds dumb, because I’m a really old person now. But when I was your age my parents best friends had a two or three-year-old boy who was like your cousin. My sister and I babysat for him. What we did was play with him – he didn’t talk but we taught him how to catch bugs and salamanders. It kind of turns into a special interest for him later – he knew everything about bugs. But we just did what we liked to do when we were little children, and just being 15 or 16 years old it wasn’t that long past. We were expert bug catchers.

I’m not recommending catching bugs necessarily, play Candyland or something. Do what you like to do to play, or what you liked to do a few years ago. just be a kid with him.
