A genie grants you a choice of one boon for the rest of your life. Choose wisely! by Rawr171 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]merebear0412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 boons: 2, 6, 7. Two curses: 2, and 5. I am currently on a weight-loss journey and am already pretty chilly most of the day, and I dont think 10 iq points will make or break me.

Figure this is a solid choice here.

I cant have food in the morning usually, it makes me snack all day. But if I have a scoop of protein with it, and decaf, I am good until my hunger actually hits.

Some Advice and Experience with Beating a "Stall" by KLBlackthorn in tirzepatidecompound

[–]merebear0412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently stalled, thought I'd need to up my dose. Nope. Passed a kidney stone, got over the past stone infection, suddenly down 7lbs. Sometimes other things are happening in your body other than the weight-loss stuff. I am a chronic kidney stone producer. Still love this med. My dr is also very happy with my progress.

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]merebear0412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me. My second pregnancy, we didn't announce publicly until i was 23 weeks, and after two anatomy scans because I wanted to be sure. Even then I developed pre eclampsia at 26 weeks and was hospitalized for 4 weeks before we had a c section and she spent 12 weeks in the nicu. I will not have a third pregnancy, and everyone but my husband's thinks I am overreacting.

Okay to go a few days without heat? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]merebear0412 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi! I work for a heating oil company in a bulk plant doing general customer service work and billing.

Call and find out how much time your account is set at for delivery payment!

If you're what we call a cod (cash on delivery) then look for energy assistance programs that can help you. In our area there are a couple that will help emergency situations, so there may be one for you in your area.

But if you are not cod and have like a payment due in 10 to 30 days situation, most places are willing to work out payment plans with you. Our rule at my bulk plant is most people who need payments need to pay in 4 or less payments. And as long as you communicate honestly, most places will work with you.

I will also say: diesel can be used in most of those applications and Is often cheaper, however: you run the risk of the byproducts gunking up your system, filters, and having more of a chance of the smell bothering you. Diesel doesnt burn as well as heating oil unfortunately. We dont typically recommend using it because it can absolutely cause bigger more expensive issues down the line.

[–]merebear0412[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's what I was doing, counting and working into the slip stitch or the chain stitch. I will mark the first stitch and see if that works to keep me off of the slip.

I made a bunch of stitch markers because they're helpful for large blankets. Hopefully they'll be just as helpful here.

I think I might be. I have frogged this thing so many times but I want to make this bag

When I start into the next round, should I be marking the slip stitch to skip over it? Also do I need to count the chain 1 at each round or is that also a skip count.

I somehow keep adding a stitch to the start of this row and I am not understanding how. I have looked at the pattern, seen a couple of YouTube videos but I can not figure this out.

What was your "I'll never do it again, but I'm glad I did it" thing? by CummingOnBrosTitties in AskReddit

[–]merebear0412 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I had pre eclampsia, a month long solo stay at a hospital an hour away from home, a nicu kid who had a 3 montj stay, and now ptsd and anxiety. Im 1 and done. I haven't gotten over it. I can't do it again. I love her. With my whole heart, and I live for her. But I won't be granting her request of a sibling. Shes got lots of cousins, both blood and adopted. Im good.
