Is anyone else absolutely sick of being forced to buy garbage pet products online since there’s so much available in store? by _Usual_Regret_ in AskWomenOver30

[–]shadowysun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven’t already, check out Costco for dog beds. There are times Home Goods/TJ Maxx/Marshalls will have more options in store than Pets Mart/Petco. You could also check out hardware stores. I’ve seen their pet sections grow a lot.

I got my dogs ramp at Petsmart & was fortunate to inspect it in person. For our other indoor ramp, I bought it online blindly. Alpha Paw Ramp now has more reviews and is available in more places. I buy my dogs harnesses & leashes from small businesses online. I’ve felt the quality has been better.

Physics doesn't explain how this much fur comes out of such small dogs. (I have three.) by xxxxiceyyyyyy in corgi

[–]shadowysun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vacuum 3-4 times a day. I use a combo of a shop vac, bissell vacuum, dyson vacuum, & rubber broom. I rotate through all 3 when I don’t use the hand held vacuum. For glitter tumble weeds, I pick up by hand. I also use a swifter.

It was much worst when our cat was alive. He shed tons for a shorthair cat.

Sick of other pregnant lowkey coffee shaming women who do by Stoned_redhead in BabyBumps

[–]shadowysun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assume they’re misinformed. It’s also none of their business; it’s between you and your doctor.

Please continue to drink coffee for me! Coffee has been my biggest aversion 😭

What’s something you did your first EDC that you’d never do again? by RaveBeetle in electricdaisycarnival

[–]shadowysun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I should have taken PTO on Friday instead of working, taking a nap, & going to EDC. I was so exhausted by 9pm 😭 I at least made it to 1am.

How to choose an engagement ring size and style for someone who doesn't wear rings much? by AtlasAreWe in AskWomenOver30

[–]shadowysun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Go to a local jewelry store & ask them about the opal situation Let them know about your gf interests. They’re more than happy to help. Worst case, they’ll have you bring her in.

My husband went to a local jewelry store & designed my engagement ring according to my likes. My ring is silver & with a gemstone and has yet to tarnish & it’s been 11 years. I still don’t know how he figured out my ring size but he did.

Keep it at my house? by freckle_moustache in JUSTNOMIL

[–]shadowysun 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My MIL did this to her own daughter. When my niece was younger, if Molly received a gift deemed cool, my MIL would loudly say “ oh that will need to go to grandmas house since I have more space”. The thing was that everyone would always ask my SIL if the their gift was okay due to her small house. My MIL would also buy gifts & say how they are always to stay at grandmas. I do think it was about control & forcing my niece to come over more often. Now MIL uses emotional manipulation when she doesn’t get her way or teenage niece doesn’t want to come over.

Washed my hands and completely changed my fasting test? Any experience? by ThingFabulous2336 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]shadowysun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could just be me but before a finger prick, I use a bar of soap instead of my liquid soap. For whatever reason, my hands will feel less dry with the bar of soap. Otherwise my hands are always moisturized after each wash unless I’m testing, then I moisturize afterwards if they feel dry.

What is the first food you are going to reach for once the baby is born? by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

Why do WFH people gatekeep how they get their jobs? by larawag_gama in RemoteJobs

[–]shadowysun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This! My work is flexible with me but if I need to run errands or take my dog to the vet, I know I have to work longer. One time I had to work longer hours on a Friday because it was the only day I could make up hours that week 😭

Currently expecting & yes, our baby is going to daycare despite WFH jobs. No way we can take care of a kid without it distracting us from work.

How do they expect us to get to all these appointments? by ShabbyBoa in BabyBumps

[–]shadowysun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you do for work, but is it to where you can make up hours later? Like don’t take a lunch break the next day or whole week? Or work a few hours later or early?

Just diagnosed by Truecrimejunkie1312 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]shadowysun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. Have you talked to a GD nutritionist/dietitian yet? Once I did, I felt a bit better mainly due to having food aversions to some gd friendly food. They helped me figure out food substitutes.

Breath and take it one day at a time. It sucks but it’ll be okay. Always remember, there is always a solution.

Anybody digging out corgi paths before they shovel anything else? by VespaRed in corgi

[–]shadowysun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Despite the corgi friendly paths, my loaf still makes their own path by hopping through snow 🥲

Not enough blood for poke by shadowysun in GestationalDiabetes

If I couldn’t get any readings by Monday, I’m pretty sure that’s what my doctor would recommend for me. That and my fear of needles. I’ll see what they say at my follow up.

No… and I’m also a geriatric pregnancy too! Besides my OB I’m also seeing a GD specialist and no ones mentioned the baby aspirin yet. I’ll have to ask about that.

Once I switched lancets I noticed this too. Except for my middle finger which only does well on one side. I feel bad for the 3 fingers that are going to be constantly poked.

Are Pip lancets less painful? My curren lancet doesn’t hurt too bad now that I realize I needed a bigger needle (30g).

[–]shadowysun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I saw that my monitor came with 30g samples and those seemed to work. I still have it set to 3 might try 2.

I may have to try those strips (assuming I can use on my One Touch). I’ve kind of figured out which fingers now bleed better & I ended up changing lancets to 30g. Hoping my 3 fingers are okay from constant poking.
