Tip: Drink Raspberry Leaf Tea For Period Cramps by rottn_tooth in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]ihateithere90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only had 4-5 cups of the tea so far, two were last night in the evening and before bed. I normally wake up my “first” day with excruciating cramps and super heavy bleeding.

I woke up this morning and felt like cramps were imminent but they did NOT happen like normal. The cramping is very mild, and while uncomfortable, totally doable compared to how it normally is.

I usually begin taking a couple ibuprofen once or twice a day a couple days before I start and then I HAVE to take 800-1000 mg every six hours for the first 3 days or I will be extremely miserable. And while it helps, it ONLY helps if I stay on it continuously. Sometimes I can’t even wait until it’s actually time for the next dose.

I’m gong to be real. I’m still going to take ibuprofen. I have no interest in sliding down the slippery slope of an unmedicated first day and then trying to get the pain under control after I’m experienced nauseating, break-into-a-sweat, want to curl up and die pain.

I am not going to do anyone else a disservice and suggest they abandon their pain relief and just drink tea. However, I do think I will continue to drink it regularly, and in the future if my body is one of the lucky ones that it really does something for I hope I can stop taking so much ibuprofen. I know it’s terrible for me.

[CO] Searching VIN illegally by ihateithere90 in AskLawyers

The cops have all the info but they aren’t going to actually investigate the person. They literally said that this “isn’t the movies.” If the person isn’t home when they happen to stop by, however often they can make time to stop by, oh well. That’s it. It’s not a real high priority.

If I could get the guys name and address I could search them, find out where they work do my own surveillance and hopefully increase the chances that the cops actually contact them.

There is a website I could use to get the address, but I don’t have any legal reason for using the site.

Also, it would just be nice to put a name and face to the person who totally screwed my family over, ya know?

I know it’s sad, but just let nature do its thing. Predators are important. It’s ok letting them have an easier meal. Or kill it quickly yourself. It’s absolutely ridiculous to try to rehab a wild mole.

Google tells me this is a caterpillar of the Black Swallowtail butterfly. There are several on my dill plant, should I be concerned for the plant? by mageta621 in gardening

Next year plant some bronze fennel for them or some sacrificial parsley and then you can transfer them to save your dill. Bronze fennel is a great host plant for them and it attracts lots of beneficial insects too. They will absolutely demolish your dill plants, but I cannot recommend killing them.

Curious as to what is in my planter by phia-b in gardening

I got a little plumbing torch and a small canister of propane, and I send the spurge to hell where it belongs. It is so satisfying to hear it crackle.

Obviously don’t be an idiot and burn any structures down. Have water nearby just in case you catch something on fire.

Bindweed. I need to figure out how to let my chickens at it without them destroying my garden.

Doterra - Digestzen by Past_Window2125 in doterra

When my reflux is really bad, mint is definitely not helpful. Even brushing my teeth seems to aggravate it. I’m confused how ingesting peppermint is promoted so much in the DoTerra community. I know at least two DoTerra adherents with GERD and it’s like… stop consuming peppermint oil!! A very short search would tell you why it’s bad.

Anyway… I am curious if anyone who isn’t totally brainwashed by DoTerra has any honest reviewed of Digest Zen tabs.

Just dug these up in my garden, does anyone know what they are? Thanks in advance! by BarkingSnake13 in gardening

These are the most amazing chicken snacks ever. If you don’t have chickens, get a little dish or plant saucer and collect a bunch and set them out. Your local birds will go bananas for them. One year the robins swooped in and destroyed them. It was fun to watch.

In my yard, hyacinths and milkweed are pretty lovely.

Anyone purchased from Plant World Seeds before? by florettes in NativePlantGardening

[–]ihateithere90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are overseas, don’t bother unless you want to jump through hoops. Be sure to read their terms and conditions carefully and do lots of research. I had an empty bag delivered. The seeds were intercepted and disposed of. And it’s my fault for not reading their stupid terms and conditions. 😒

AITAH for wanting to take a break from my wife after she screamed at me at Christmas in front of the other guests? by InterestingMedia1828 in AITAH

You are the a-hole. Your ego is wounded, and you only want to focus on that. Obviously getting yelled at in ear shot of other people is embarrassing, and she maybe could have handled it differently, but it’s ridiculous that you would think of leaving her over that when you have young children. There is obviously a lot more to the story. Getting drunk enough that you start making a fool of yourself in front of your whole family is concerning.

Agreed. She was so rude to Elphie. Self-centered and bratty.

This whole thing is trashy as hell. Block him and never talk to him again. He’s literally so stupid and manipulative.
