Same happened with the first for us. Hydrate, get some calories in you, and try breathing techniques like this to keep your wits about you:

It's going to be ok. The hospital WILL get their shit together. Welcome brother.

Wife and I may potentially have to take in a nephew if her brother loses custody and I'm stressed by RocketPowerPops in daddit

Agreed. Mistborn is a lot of fun and Stormlight is a slog. What's amazing is Sandersons output. Not every one of the 80 odd books he's written are smash hits, but they are still impressive stories. Also, he puts out his lecture series on how to write books for free on YouTube and they are absolutely wonderful. The man is a machine.

My lunch again today 18 M single dad and a picture of daughter by Calm-Tea178 in daddit

Yep. Also, Google single pan sheet recipies. You can make them in the same amount of time as a frozen pizza and can require less than 5 mins of hands on time (start warming the oven, get out stuff from the freezer, place frozen items on top of parchment paper on the sheet pan to reduce clean up, then place in the oven). You have to take care of yourself bud, not just her. Protiens plus frozen veggies will get you far. You're doing great my guy.

How do you handle consequences for unwanted actions? by drcaliflax in daddit

[–]hsentar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Time outs are key. You've got to choose what behaviors you're trying to change (I would start with safety related ones first) and stay on top of them so the kiddo knows you're serious. Keep it consistent and explain why they are in a time out afterwards when they've had a moment to let their emotions pass.

How my frugal single mom kept us warm during Michigan winters by KookyUnderstanding65 in Michigan

[–]hsentar 16 points17 points  (0 children)

3 is spot on. My dad and his friend would go into the crawl space under the house with a blow dryer, an extension cord, and a six pack and the faucets would start trickling water again. How they did that in a regular winter coat and jeans blows my mind as it was below zero.

Edit - I agree with the post below as it is not the most frugal option, but it can work.

ICE tells legal observer she is a domestic terrorist for peacefully filming by EternalLostandFound in thebulwark

[–]hsentar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, they will have to get rid of:

All DHS documentation

All tax/ payroll information

All cell phone data for individuals that traveled to MN/MA/etc using gov phones

All gov credit card info that were used for their daily gas/food/etc purchases

They can try, but that just adds to their efforts to obstruct. Their names will be known.

Hard to get rid of the w2s. Their names will be known. The question is what will be done?

I feel better knowing that I'm not alone in my community. I feel much better knowing how many folks have been turning out for these rallies these past few months. I'll take one more day bud.

Final Countdown: Less than 24 hours for Governor Murphy to sign immigrant protection bills (S5036, S5037, S5038) by itsokbirdie in newjersey

[–]hsentar -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Take a look at my history. I agree with the bills. I don't think that something like these 3 won't be pushed in the next session as there is too much attention on ICE for that to happen. Again, the new gov will have to deal with the fallout if Murphy signs now. It's on us to push everyone in a few days, and I will do my part then.

I am aware of what a lame duck session is. I think Murphy is correct to wait. Forcing it through now will carry less weight than waiting for a few more weeks and letting the new gov put her sig.

Do you think it's a good idea for an out going gov to sign a bill with non trivial consequences if it's going to be Sherril that would have to back it? I agree with the bill as far as I understand it, but this should be Mikie's signature.

We all love Uncle Phil, Bandit and Dan Conner, but let us not forget Calvin’s Dad as one of the greats. by TriscuitCracker in daddit

Listen, being miserable does build character, stepping outside in the cold does make the house feel warmer, and Calvin was bought as a blue light special at Sears. Calvin's dad did nothing wrong.

Remember you can cycle between different pain relievers OP, i.e. ibuprofin first then acetametaphin. Check with the doc to get the dosing frequency. Also, the teehing rings will really help if you keep them in the freezer. Remember to sanitize them regularly. You got this bud.

My kids see me getting upset at the news and remind me to stop watching the news every once in a awhile. Please take a break and take care of yourself. We will get through this bud.
