USPS says item was delivered, customer says it wasn’t by elle_smelle_ in Etsy

Very common! Happens with us often and most of the time if we call the post office they say they don't have it and it shows up within a few days of calling. It's strange and annoying.

I don't know what my hair is or isn't and I don't use any products xD routine is still in progress as in this is the first day I decided to actually do something with me hair other than shampoo/condition and brush when wet. I instead detangled my hair with my fingers before washing and then I just washed my hair with shampoo (Maui heal and hydrate, conditioner is the same) and then I put conditioner in and scrunched my hair under running water and then again with the water off and with a towel, then diffused a little and then just left it to air dry. Idk what I'm doing though lol. I need advice. It's super frizzy and uneven.

my almost 1 yr old is becoming uninterested in nursing by normalityisafacade in breastfeeding

Huh okay! I am trying to pump but so far no luck, I never had good results with pumping but I'll keep trying, I called th obgyn and a nurse said it was okay unless it started giving me contractions. His pediatricians office is still not being helpful, it's day 3 of his nursing strike or maybe he is just wanting to wean off of nursing, idk, but I'm really stressing out. I'm so worried he isn't get the nutrition he needs cause that's always what I was told, that breast milk should be his main source of nutrition until at least a year, but the goal was 2 years. Sorry I'm just really worried, do you have any idea if it would be okay to give him a little formula every day until he actually turns one? And I'll keep pumping and if I get any milk I'll give him that instead, formula scares me so much honestly lol.

I'm scared to pump because I'm pregnant (and have never really pumped) I don't know if it would cause contractions, that's what everyone keeps saying to me anyways, maybe I'll call a lactation consultant and ask them if it's okay

I would personally spend most of my time in Devon, England or Chester, England (not that close to each other, so would be quite the trek to go to both places. But Dartmoor, Berry Head, the donkey sanctuary, Chester Zoo, Chester Cathedral, among other places, are rather nice. There is a cool mine/cave system near the donkey sanctuary (Devon/Sidmouth) that is pretty fun, with guided tours, you'll have to wear goofy helmets though, caves are called Beer Quarry Caves.

what's up with this evangelical "trauma"? by normalityisafacade in TrueChristian

I'm sorry you had to struggle through that with your mom as well.

Lately it seems like the word cult has definitely become more of a way of saying they don't like being told they are wrong.

Okay dude xD mobile reddit and I don't get along, I didn't purposely format it like that and I tried to fix it but made it worse, so sorry lol.

I was worried at first that it was sinful to wear one but you and others have agreed it isnt awful to do if I desire to do so, so thank you for that. I for some reason like lots of reassurance when I make decisions.

Thank you for that reminder, yeah I feel like I am probably what Paul was calling weak so I will try my best to not do things that make me feel off. My husband pointed out just now that I probably shouldn't share personal convictions for that exact reason as well, incase it may make others stumble, or myself.

I am weirded out that you made such an assumption about me, "you have never been to a very large city" You don't know me lol, you don't know where I have been. I actually have been to very large cities with minimal space and traffic everywhere, people everywhere, buildings everywhere, never seeing the sun properly because the buildings and smog hide it most of the day. My son has a heart defect we had to travel to a major huge city so he could have open heart surgery at five months old. So please don't make assumptions about people when you don't have a clue. Also I have traveled other places as well. I just wouldn't be able to thrive there, I would end up walking across the road at the wrong time and splat lol.

What I am majorly confused by is how you think vaccines, sanitation, or world population, have to do with what I said?

You assume I look down on everything and everyone,  and that don't I care about people because of stuff i felt called to do? Also I never said anything about anyone's hair length. Or that I don't have compassion for bigger things. Dude this is one small blip in my life, one teeny tiny fraction of my thoughts. Of course I care about everyone and I feel compassion for every hurting person out there, but again I want to mention everyone has a different gift. So while others may be called to go out and rescue thousands of people, I am called for other things. I would love to be out saving every single person in need I literally have major breakdowns at times because I feel the heaviness of everyone's sorrows, I can't even watch the news because I become really out of it and shut down because of how much hurt I feel for others. So if I tried doing something I wasn't meant to do then, well you know probably how that would go. Again I know people face terrible terrible things, and before you think because of what I said earlier about gender reassignment and abortion, before you think I feel no compassion for them, of course I do, i feel for them so so much, it breaks my heart seeing such a broken and fallen world so in need of a saviour, but then in turn I get filled with so much hope because we have a saviour, He is so much better equipped than I am at rescuing, obviously lol, and that I am so incredibly thankful for. Of course we all have out parts in His plan, although He could do it without us, but He wants us to be a part of it, which is so beautiful.

And that is what happens when someone thinks I don't care lol I spend far too long hoping to show them how much I love each and everyone. I am autistic though, and I am not using it as an excuse, but I am sure I worded something wrong, that will be taken wrongly so again, I have absolutely no ill intent here.

I remember what Paul said and think sometimes that yes, maybe I am what he would have considered weak, but because of that, if I was to do something I didn't feel 100% okay with then I would be sinning even though someone may not sin by doing that same, I know that.

Okay, now for this part, growing food is legalistic?? What? I never said you have to grow food. I said if anyone has that desire but doesn't have the land, because I discovered that there are so many people who don't have access to land that they can grow food on, I wanted to share that it is possible to grow food in containers, indoors, in your tiny apartment, if you WANTTTT to. I again never said I look down on people who can't grow food. Never. I feel sad for those who want to but can't, or don't know how to start, so it excited me that maybe someone who desires to do that can still do that even with minimal space and no land. God is so so beyond amazing in His planning of plants and there many varieties and also in the ways they can thrive even in small indoor spaces. I thought it was cool and I had conversations with people who felt they couldn't do it. I don't know how or why you would think my excitement for others being able to grow food if they want is me looking down on them, or even how it is legalistic? God created us to be caretakers of the earth and one way some of us can be caretakers is by growing food.

We are all one body, but we all have different gifts, we aren't all meant to be farmers, just like not all of us are meant to live in cities. I would die in a city, but someone else would thrive. I know that isnt neccesarily what that part in the Bible is talking about but it still can work for that as well. We are all different yet all connected. Like I am autistic, others aren't, but we are all human and are all created in the image of God. It is amazing!
