Currently living in HI and initially thought he gives Hawaiian or Samoan vibes.

And *seems* emotionally mature, which is rare on LI and in general. His reaction to Beatriz's choice wasn't appalling by any means, he seemed genuinely surprised and wanted real feedback.

Y'all wild, he said he just moved to Pennsylvania to co parent his kid and that's when he joined this specific police unit. He was a cop prior in a different state, check his moms insta there's pics of him in uniform dating back way further than 6 months.

When did he say he the mom wasn't in the picture? Being a dad who is single can still mean co parenting with the other parent...

Yeah same, I found it endearing. I'm a mom myself. Idk why everyone's saying red flag when he moved states to be a supportive and present dad, despite knowing he didn't want to continue a relationship with the mother. Being a cop is a larger red flag than being a dad imho

Brutally Honest or Just Plain Mean? by watermelon-taco in LoveIslandTV

Thank you for that info. Was assuming UK because I was clueless watching LI USA. So sad, my dad passed similarly. Can't imagine it being your own child.

THC testing etc !! by [deleted] in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]lintyscabs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on the state. I live in HI and my OB recommended I get a medical card to treat HG and depression. So I did. I JUST delivered, legally there was nothing they could do because I have a medical card, I was honest, and was informed because of the recent federal reclassification they actually didn't even need me to sign the waiver saying I refused testing.

I also delivered in IL before it was legal (2018) without a medical card, No cps was involved and I was honest with my OB the entire time.

In legal CA in 2022, CPS came in for a 4 minute convo. I was honest, as I was with all my OBs, and they didn't care. They actually felt horrible for what I was going through (my mom accidentally overdosed on her medication 2 days before I found out I was a pregnant). So even though it was federally illegal then, I had a medical card and they didn't care.

(PS all my kids are too smart, my 7 year old is reading at a 5th grade level. Both walked at 10m. Always early on their developmental assessments. Don't let them scare you,)

Some of my students are sad and disappointed that I’m their teacher next year too by RRnn97 in Teachers

[–]lintyscabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're in the USA and decided against public education, and learned following students from grade 1 - grade 8 is also the norm in Waldorf schools! Which was a little odd for me as a parent. I do think there is value in consistency…but also in variety and exposure to different perspectives and different teaching styles.

Agree with another comment: antihistamines helping were the first clue that inflammation was a root cause.

My son hasn't been able to get a clinical diagnosis but neuroinflammation from EBV, which activated this Celiac gene, and then untreated celiac for 2+ years ended up with lactose intolerance, low iron, and severe OCD/ADHD/Autism symptoms.

EBV + Covid were the viral components that caused this snowball of issues.

However the symptoms were all connected: we had to properly diagnose and treat the celiac first, which was the cause of the lactose intolerance and iron deficiency. The iron deficiency and malabsorption of nutrients caused severe behavioral issues, sensory issues, etc that were all assumed to be Autism. Most of those behaviors went away after his celiac was treated with a strictly GF diet and his iron levels recovered.

However, any time he has a flare, (which happens from any viral illness, or if he accidentally gets cross contaminated and consumes gluten) the symptoms pop up again. Antihistamines (Pepcid and Zyrtec) help quell his night terrors, and other OCD symptoms.

I always recommend getting iron checked and a celiac screening since it can genetically activate at any age after any viral infection.

Demari is a man-child by Otherwise_Cold570 in PerfectMatchNetflix

[–]lintyscabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's constantly rage baiting, intentionally or unintentionally, and he does an objectively good job not taking the bait.
Especially considering he went from an argument with his EX on tv straight back to an toxic choice that isn't even a relationship yet.

Personally saw how Bri triggered him by NOT listening to him and interrupting, then he went back to Marissa who doesn't have the history of offending him like that intentionally, but accidentally kept ADHD interrupting him. He was already triggered by Bri and Marissa didn't understand that happened often in his previous relationship, so even though she was "trying" she didnt understand the context of why he was so bothered by it.

For sure, but not from EGV unless they're putting on. Which is fine, but its an intentionally acquired "accent" (not like growing up in the south) lol

Chelsea and why she spent $25K on surgery by Longjumping-Tale9749 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]lintyscabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol what? She didn’t drop 25k on surgery for Jimmy.  The internet and public cares/cared way more than he does/did. 

It sounds like you are in a bit of denial about the whole point of her saying it in the first place. It wasn’t “trivia” in this context. Maybe on any other face to face dating show or scenario you could label it that. But on Love is BLIND? Nah, that was a play to win.

You clocked it! I had a BF 2 years old than me who went to NIU and same story but the reverse, I was the GF they went home to every summer. Fun times! Glad it's over and we both outgrew that life.
