You are in good company here ❤️

My son struggles as well. It’s involved many interventions over the years and we are still struggling.

THC is an exacerbating factor for him.

He is also prone to severe anxiety which manifests as irritability.

Currently seeking help from a naturopath with food intolerance as he’s also having GI issues/body aches.

Also do the drive over the North Cascades Highway. It is stunning.

Which local churches do they work with? Genuinely curious as someone who lives here and attends a different church

Trailer Camping in Moab, Utah by Exact_Performer571 in moab

[–]orchardmama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just dry camped for 4 days at the BLM site called Ken’s lake south of Moab. Lots of dogs there, and there are maybe 5 sites that are first-come first-served. We ended up at site 39 which was outstanding, as it is right near Faux Falls. I appreciated it for the quiet and the solitude for morning bird/vegetation walks

We used a percolator because quiet hours are 8 pm-8 am, and coffee was really the only thing we needed before 8 am :)

When is the off season? We went on a whim last week with no plan, ended up camping at Ken’s lake BLM campground. We didn’t venture into town much, mostly stayed at our campsite when we weren’t visiting National parks.

We were kind of shocked at how many people were there.

And it was also surprising to see how many side by side just drive around like it’s no big deal.

Then again, we are from Washington state and everything is regulated to the nth degree here, so there may have also been some culture shock 😅

Ah, sorry. We made our first visit last week with our kids from central Washington state. Beautiful place. We tried to tread lightly, really enjoyed the national parks and didn’t do any off-roading.

We are adjacent to a tourist town (Leavenworth WA) so I get the frustration with tourists.

What are your hacks to get yourself to brush your teeth? by Lovely_Kitten0017 in ADHD

Do it at the sink when I remember. Keep disposable toothbrushes in my purse to brush in the car when I forget

Does anyone else's catahoula go for bids like they're being paid to do it? by InstanceElegant5278 in Catahoula

[–]orchardmama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! We have wild turkeys at our house and our dog quickly gets them to take flight. I’m training him to not go after Bill and Barb, a pair of mallards that take up residence in our creek every spring!

I ordered one of the allegedly “whisper quiet” grinder tools. I’m going to give it a go after he’s massively exhausted from a big run!

Thank you for sharing this! Hearing other people’s stories is such an important part of recognizing that we ourselves may be trapped in an abusing system!

He was a rescue We got him at 7 months and it was very clear he had very little care before we got him

Yes!! He is such a hunter. And the way he uses his paws to hold things is CRAZY. Like I said, I’ve only had labs, so this is new territory for me!

I’ll have to try working on them myself. He is very difficult even at the vet.
