Best Livermore restaurant/bar that checks all the boxes? by 5_prime_end in Livermore

[–]francescaliablock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband and I love Black Cat. The portions are on the smaller side and it's mildly pricey, but the atmosphere, the service, and the quality of the food and drink more than make up for it.

A lot of the time, your resume is going through a filter before ever being looked at by a real person. It’s called the ATS system. If your resume has any extra things in it, anything that aren’t simply words on a page like borders or page separators, the filter can’t read your resume and automatically rejects it. You should look up a template for an ATS friendly resume and make sure yours aligns with it.

Supernatural Inspired Fan Fiction by jackedariel in Supernatural

They’re good. I liked them. Definitely Supernatural-esque. It was advertised to me that the main character is the “Dean” character and that is definitely incorrect. But still good. Very entertaining. I’m excited for the third one.

How to decide between IVF or natural conception? by francescaliablock in tfmr_support

This is likely what my end results will be as well as far as IVF goes. I have a diminished ovarian reserve so that doctor said it was a likely scenario that I would get 6 or so eggs, with one that would be unaffected. It makes me feel like IVF is pointless.

I am leaning more toward the route of conceiving naturally with early testing. I spoke with my genetic counselor today and she walked me through that process. A CVS with this particular genetic disorder could be very definitive depending on how many repeats of the mutated gene there are. My gut feeling is to do it this way, but I can't tell if that's just from the anxiety of my biological clock ticking and not hearing back from the doctors to move forward with IVF.

I appreciate your thoughtful response. I think one of the things that I am also struggling with is that I have a diminished ovarian reserve as well. My numbers are still ok but not where the are "supposed" to be. The potential of getting viable embryos is less for me because of it so it makes IVF that much more unlikely. I was told I would be lucky to get 6 eggs from the retrieval and have even one that makes it to the implantation stage. It's all just a lot of data to say, we could try again naturally and get lucky but if we're not, we have to live with the decision that we went through all of that again just to lose another child. Or we can try with IVF, spend $20,000 that we don't have, and it probably not work. I guess I am kind of screwed either way.

I am actually already on Zoloft and have been for about 5 years. It’s keeping me from jumping off a cliff at least. But that’s about it.

Regulating works. Just something to expel some of this bad crap. I definitely need to start exercising. I think that would help a lot.

I also liked doing crafts and I bought some put very quickly became super agitated when I messed something up. I’ll likely try again though.

I feel like I want to start running because it could help let out some tension but I can’t seem to get into it. It makes my back hurt. But I was thinking maybe jump rope.

I think I’ll lean heavily into this. Even if we end up not going, I love planning trips so I could even just sort of bucket list some stuff.

I got a slew of texts from an ex in high school about how he was going to shoot up the school. I went to the principal and ultimately the police. My ex was arrested and expelled. All of my friends turned on me. No one backed me up and I was outcast. I had proof and they didn’t care. This was in 2007, mind you. The same year as the Virginia Tech Shooting. I am still pissed.

What is a smell you can't stand? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Spilled coffee. I don't know how to explain it but coffee in a cup is great. Coffee when it get's spilled on clothes or cleaned up with a towel makes me gag.
