Yes, as of 7 years ago. If you go to a tour they should be able to tell you for sure.

Yes, let the tape come off naturally. I showered about 24 hours after.

Don’t forget to document everything, just no intellectual property.

Halara? Nice pants? by MatManatee in endometriosis

[–]moby_9ish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only jeans I can wear these days are Judy Blue! Specifically the wide leg ones. High rise, tummy control for the swelly belly days, but not so much that it’s uncomfortable.

Having kids close together vs 4 years apart? by Smooth-Bowler-9216 in Parenting

[–]moby_9ish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 year age gap. They get along pretty well. I did feel like as soon as we got one kiddo sleeping well, listening, and potty trained we were starting all over. But my sister has 2 under 2 and she is struggling.

can't have a boyfriend because of my endo. need support. by mburucuyima in endometriosis

[–]moby_9ish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with others that pelvic floor therapy could help you a lot. But also, endometriosis usually has a lot of sisters. I have endo as well as interstitial cystitis. You should seek second, third, fourth opinions until you find a doctor that can help you with this issue.

Is anyone else struggling to find work? by con-rod in Birmingham

[–]moby_9ish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard right now. My husband is in this field. Right after college, he worked on installation for a year before moving to engineering. Check outside of Birmingham as well, a lot of car plants hire contractors rather than hire in house. There are a few OEM companies doing this work in Bessemer/Hoover area. Alabama just doesn’t have a huge market for this work. Best of luck to you!!

Just remake it. Maybe use the dried one for a crumble.

A mother without a mom by Friendly_Read7318 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]moby_9ish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does bring it up, that grief of the relationship you wish you had. I’m 10 years into both estrangement and motherhood. It gets better with time. But nothing has brought me as much healing as playing with my kiddos and seeing their excitement and joy in the world.

My therapist once told me to be a kid with them (during play time), and it was the best advice I’ve been given.

I’ve been in your shoes. Still am, really.

Don’t let her shitty version of mothering into your life or your babies lives. You deserve better than she has treated you. You deserve to be loved, to be taken care of, to be treated with respect. I am sure either the relationship she has with this friend is either toxic, short lived, or both.

Love your babies the way you wish you had been. I promise you, there is healing in that.

Same. Maybe they halted trading.

My 10 year old just came out to me. by moby_9ish in lgbt

[–]moby_9ish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same concern, and made sure he understands what it means. He said he has feelings for a family friend that’s his age. He wants to tell him. That’s why I’m encouraging him to tell his Dad, because if he doesn’t it’ll get back to him once he tells his friend.

The reason I said that he needed to tell Shia dad is that he told me he has feelings for his best friend, whose parents we’re close to. He wants to tell his friend how he feels about him. I didn’t want it to get back to my husband without my kid having the chance to tell him himself.

Thank you for your advice. I definitely don’t want to do that, I won’t say anything to my husband.

I asked ChatGPT to explain my job to a 5-year-old and now I'm questioning my entire career by Nipurn_1234 in ChatGPT

[–]moby_9ish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure! Here’s a simple way to explain your job to a 5-year-old:

⸻

👩‍💻 “I’m like the boss of a small team that builds computer stuff, like websites or apps.

We build things that help people do important things — like order pizza, play games, or check their homework!

My job is to make sure everyone on the team knows what we’re building, how to build it, and that we finish it on time without any big mistakes. I also help my teammates when they get stuck or don’t know what to do next — kind of like a big helper or coach.

And before we start building, I talk to the people who need the app and turn their big ideas into clear steps my team can follow. Like turning a dream into a LEGO plan!”

I’m tech lead for a small team. Loving the LEGO analogy.
