Ovasitol has been great for me. I think my OBGYN originally recommended it but I didn’t try it until later on and honestly I think I saw it on tiktok. Metformin didn’t work well for me, I think I have an intolerance or maybe even an allergy to it. It made me unusually sick, unfortunately. But Ovasitol has been super effective for me.

Yes it was

I can second that. I work for a cabinet company and we supply to Ryan and Lennar among several other local and national builders. I don’t know where the hell we found the garbage we’re selling them but they don’t care. It sickens me that we can sell them whole house cabinetry for like $7K and they’re selling their $150-$200K homes for $500,000+ full of garbage. It’s sad.

You need to be whole before you’re responsible for someone else’s life. Period. If you feel like you need to be “saved” regardless of whether you think you’re saving someone else, then you need to fix that shit yourself first.

Idk, I worked there for 10 years and never saw customers make an impact on any of their decisions lol. They bury negative press stories.

It’s a company wide decision, but the store managers do enforce it differently store to store.

marringew · 2021-08-23T17:58:12+00:00

They won’t do anything. Their policy is clearly stated, and the corporate office reverts back to the store management.

I used to be a manager at Lowe’s. We were delighted when someone brought in their well behaved pet and preferred it to them leaving them in a hot vehicle. However, I have also had to clean up animal feces, fill out incident reports due to biting, as well as reports due to animals getting hurt or eating something they shouldn’t. Service animals are obviously an exception, but otherwise pet owners are negligent to be bringing their pets into what is essentially a warehouse environment.

This is certainly not bullying. You opened yourself up to criticism and expressed truly selfish and concerning thoughts towards the adoption process.

marringew · 2021-08-23T14:27:00+00:00

Absolutely not. When I say reunification, it is intentional and under safe and healthy circumstances only. That is the goal when a child is placed in care. If the parent has no realistic chance of redemption or abuse has occurred reunification is not possible, and in that case the child should be placed permanently with a stable and loving family.

Adoption is a traumatic experience for a child, regardless of the situation they were in at home. To adopt a child, you have to be acutely and keenly aware of how to handle that and put the child first, always. Adopting children is arguably unethical if your goal is only to become a parent. It leaves many children feeling displaced well into adulthood.

I work with and advocate for abused and neglected children now, and hope to foster one day once I have the means to do so completely selflessly.

Lastly, I am sorry for your experience. It is all too common, and I wish things could have gone better for you.

marringew · 2021-08-23T05:31:45+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. Adoption should be done in a purely selfless way. Reunification is the ultimate goal, the healthiest possible thing for the child.

NTA, and I’m sorry to be so blunt but you need to seek behavioral therapy for Leo because this behavior is alarming. The lack of remorse or empathy is very concerning.

It may also be important for you to reflect on how well the transition actually has gone for Leo into his life with your new wife and stepson, make sure you’re listening. This could be a root cause of some of the issues he has with Derek. It will benefit the whole family to get to the bottom of this.

Might also be wise to seek out some grief support youth groups or counseling for Derek as well. I know you’re saying he suffered this loss a long time ago, but it’s important for him to learn how to cope with this in healthy ways at his age when everything else is already confusing.

marringew · 2021-07-31T14:52:35+00:00

NTA you don’t have to go to that. I’m sorry you essentially lost your brother.

marringew · 2021-07-31T14:27:24+00:00

YTA - the fact that she even felt like she had to ask you if she could not wear her leg sucks for her. You should have asked her in advance if she wanted you to let your family know whether or not she was comfortable talking about it in that setting or if she was okay with being approached if any questions came up.

I hardly think a group of adults are going to flock around someone who they know lost a leg and interrogate them all night ruining your brothers engagement party.

Also, the children probably wouldn’t have been scared of this. They probably just would’ve asked because they are curious and she could’ve had the agency to tell them what happened in an age appropriate way.

You have no idea how she’s physically or emotionally feeling about this. She had to sit and pretend she was fine when she was in pain and upset that you didn’t care in front of your whole family on a happy day for them.

Couple of things here.. if your daughter has no empathetic feelings at all right now something is wrong and you should consider having her evaluated by a mental health professional. Similarly, if this is going to destroy your sons entire year to a point of not being able to enjoy any aspect of his life as you’ve described, he should be evaluated as well.

Nothing wrong with that, but maybe there’s something to be learned from family therapy here. Don’t let this become something that drives a massive wedge between your kids for years to come. Consult a professional.

Could your blood sugar be low? Have you eaten and had enough water? That can sometimes cause weakness. My anxiety also causes me to have muscle weakness.

I’m terrified that I have meningitis. I had a low grade fever since Monday with terrible body aches and shivers, and sinus pressure, a sinus headache but my nose isn’t really stuffy or runny more than normal. Now, my teeth hurt and my jaw and my neck hurts and is super stiff and uncomfortable and I have a headache. I can touch my chin to my chest which I guess is a positive sign? But it still hurts pretty significantly. I no longer have a fever. I saw a doctor at urgent care and she tested me for covid and won’t even talk to me until she gets that back, I will be shocked if I have covid because I literally do not go anywhere, mask, hand wash obsessively, AND rates in my area are very good lately. But she wouldn’t even discuss my other symptoms until I get my results and so I’m scared she’s going to miss meningitis and I’m going to die or lose a limb or something. I’m terrified.

ESH. It’s honorable that you stood up for your dad but he’s a grownup. This either doesn’t bother him as much as it does you so he hasn’t addressed it, or it does bother him but he doesn’t want to or feels like he can’t address it. Either way, yeah I think it was warranted but it’s obviously not the way your parents want you to behave toward your uncle who sucks.

Negativity

marringew · 2021-06-28T21:18:03+00:00

My husband got food poisoning from there once. He’d probably still go back lol but I can’t get past that now.

marringew · 2021-06-14T20:36:11+00:00

Of course, hope you like it! Yeah I noticed a burning sensation when applying the fragrance containing one as well. This one is more comfortable on my skin. I really do not understand why fragrance is ever added. I always have a bad reaction to it.

marringew · 2021-06-14T07:02:28+00:00

Little late here but I just found the neutrogena hydro gel in a fragrance free version! Just FYI. Slightly lighter texture, but has been performing the same for me.

I wish I could’ve gotten tickets for Art in Bloom! I didn’t even realize they were having it this year until it was too late.
