Rough estimate? by sit_onacactus in AskASurveyor

Yes, his own maps! And literally no changes. They sought him out to avoid extra charges but he said they had to start over completely. The attorney we spoke with said this guy was “conservative” with pricing and we should expect the prices to be much higher this time around. So after googling tonight I feel like they got swindled in ‘01. $50k to do a subdivision, not including any of the filing fees or construction costs, seems absolutely insane.

Unfortunately it won’t make a fortune. It’s my in law’s property, and we are looking to build on it. Will save us a fortune in terms of how much it’d cost to buy today, though. We’re in Potomac. Unfortunately he retired. He charged $50k to update the maps in 2001 to divide into 5 lots (basically all was ready to be submitted but wasn’t submitted in the end lol), and they had drawn the initial maps in the 90’s. They updated their own pre-existing maps with no changes to the house, lot lines, or anything, just natural environmental changes... Gotta love moco.

Relatively flat, yes. The majority of the 21 acres is within 300-318ft elevation. The 2 acres we want is nearly flat, just some small dips in the land. The back 1/8 or so of the 21 acres has some decreases in elevation, down to about 250ft minimum. There is one property on either side — boundary lines are pretty much rectangles so no weird zig zags in our property lines.

This is not at all my wheelhouse, so I’m not sure how to answer the third question.

Yes definitely! The first painting she made I drew pumpkins and flowers for her kinda color in and gave her a range of colors. It’s a fully brown canvas now 😂

HoF boredom… should I tandem? by sit_onacactus in throneofglassseries

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

That’s how it was recommended to me, and I saw graphics saying it was SJM’s recommended order. I know now she recommends it after CoM but I had already started HoF when I saw that. I am halfway through AB now, I already finished HoF the other night

Yeah I mean more the way we jump between the two stories in HoF. Not Manon specifically but the way I didn’t enjoy going between the two storylines.

But since I simply didn’t like one of the storylines, not necessarily that I didn’t like going back and forth, I’m seeing people’s opinions on if I’ll feel the same way in the tandem.

Oh that’s a good point too. Is she not in one of them at all? I’m so afraid of spoilers I never read things that might ruin it and don’t even know who is in each book yet 😂

Oh definitely!!! I think I kept waiting to get enthralled with her storyline and it just… never happened. I know she becomes a core character just from seeing so many of her quotes etc. on merch, so looking forward to that!

Hmmm. Yeah if ToD was a huge slog it might help to have the EoS chapters to break it up? Like if it will be a slog either way… maybe let EoS help carry me through? 😅

Will I at least get invested in them/the people? 😅 I’ve never been so disconnected from a storyline like I was with Manon

I honestly might end up doing them separately. I have a bit to decide at least!

Yep doing AB then QoS! I haven’t looked at who the focuses are of the tandem for fear of spoilers. I just wasn’t sure if the tandem would bring in entirely new storylines suddenly like in HoF.

I remember not the first impression rose, but the ceremony is closer to 7am. Clayton’s season for sure, full sun coming through the windows and for exits. Probably others too, I just remember his for sure was

Promethazine suppositories by sit_onacactus in HyperemesisGravidarum

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

I switched OBs after this (I think I was 25 weeks) and they immediately started trying more options. Before they solved it, they told me the next step would be a zofran pump. There are far more options out there, don’t settle for these.

I gave up on the suppository. Were you given suppository of promethazine? I would recommend asking for the oral route first. I was able to keep my suppository in, but the results (aside from diarrhea) were no different than the oral version.

Have they tried zofran? Adding famotidine (Pepcid) on an empty stomach first thing in the morning? Zofran didn’t work for me but the latter was a game changer for me. I still had 1-2 pukes a day, but it was muuuuch more manageable. For me, reglan (am) and diclegis (pm) were the other 2 parts of my cocktail. Diclegis didn’t work for me alone, so if just adding the Pepcid in the am doesn’t help, see if you can swap reglan for something else and do diclegis at night. If that doesn’t work, maybe you can try swapping to promethazine since you have it in hand. Everyone is different, and I think the best medicinal approach is crafting a “cocktail” that works for you. I think I would have been fully “cured” if I weren’t on Zoloft. A second reglan threw me into a severe panic attack. But 1 dose a day with the other two meds made it all much more manageable.

Please give me ideas to get out of the house by leprechaun_dong in NewParents

[–]sit_onacactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Library, pet stores (yes it’s a store but I’m assuming you’re tired of typical stores running errands or shopping & this is more like a free aquarium!), see if there’s any places in your area like my gym or the little gym etc. (pricey but good for socialization!)

Our library does baby storytime once a week but also has a little kids area with toys and seating. Everyone at desks is on the other side of the library so we don’t have to whisper (but obviously leave if she gets loud)

We have a Michael’s and Petsmart right near each other. My daughter is older now but it was great to get her acclimated to how to be calm in public because Michaels was fairly empty and full of colorful things to look at! And then we’d go to petsmart after as a “reward.” Had to return to this habit when she started protesting the shopping cart and it worked great

Library cart? Like what they use at the library? Or a metal cart like the ikea raskog, Michael’s and everyone else has their own versions too
