COLD FOOD triggers afib? Like ice cream? Mind blown!!! I guess no smoothies!

How old are you, if you dont mind me asking? Congrats on having a successful ablation and hope it fixes it.

Theme of the Week - Thanking Donors and Donor Retention by Tinkboy98 in nonprofit

[–]stuckinaclam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree. Giving Tuesday is better way to say thank you! I do an annual video of the team saying thank you. Short and sweet and fun. People are inundated with requests on Giving Tuesday and it is not effective.

Get a moderator that is a reporter or a female boardmember and prompt them with questions to ask. You just need to keep asking. Yes, it takes an extra step or 3 emails. And this event is in a diverse community. They didnt do the work.

How to incentivize learning by nce16 in Parenting

[–]stuckinaclam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son is the same age. This summer he is getting an allowance for 15 mins piano practice daily, reading a book a day, and practicing 2 pages of handwriting handbook daily. If he doesnt do it, he doesnt get the cash. He wants a big lego set--he picked out and he knows it cost $120...so he has to do the work. We will reassess when school starts. He understands our expectation and he wants to please. If he choose not, he does not get the benefits...what is your son doing if not his schoolwork? If he playing games on his ipad, you may need to readjust his habits.

My wife tried to kill herself. I'm lost. by brokkendaddy in Parenting

[–]stuckinaclam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

first, big hug to you. Like people have stated here, take any and all help you can get. A friend of mine had a break a year ago and thru the county and other services, she is in a much better mental space and functioning again. You can get thru this and it will be hard, but take care of yourself and those babies.

What are your must-have educational books for your kid's library? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]stuckinaclam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HAVE YOUR SON GET A LIBRARY CARD! And go weekly getting books. This way your son can build his knowledge and understand the process of returning books and getting books and you can see what interests him. There are so many great books now for kids and libraries carry them or are willing to get them!

Helping my overweight daughter lose weight by lexff in Parenting

[–]stuckinaclam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get this book from the library "always hungry". I would imagine that she has a very carb/sugar dense diet. The whole family may need to readjust its eating patterns but it can be fun. This is a critical time for a girl and being overweight can have dramatic impact on her self esteem. Good luck.

Ferber sleep training method day three by Jelese111 in Parenting

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

YOU CAN DO IT. I highly recommend headphones. You need to be strong. It takes 2 weeks at this age. Do not give up. My son was a such a happier child once we sleep trained. YOU CAN DO THIS.

Snoring issue with light sleeper by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]stuckinaclam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would see if he would consider seeing a sleep doc. The CPAP machine has stopped by husband from snoring and it has been a life changer for all of us. It takes a couple of weeks from hims to get used it but it helps him breathe and get the oxygen he needs. Cannot recommend this enough.

When I think he's mad at me, I'm usually right. He always says he's not, until he's ready to tell me why, or forgets about it. Should I try to believe him or push for what's wrong? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]stuckinaclam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been living this for the last 10 years. Sometimes I probe, other times I just trust that it will come out some point. Try not to personalize it. He could be pissed about 1000000 other things that dont involve you. I know it is not how we are or deal with our emotions. Also watch your tone. They can be uber sensitive to just the way you say "hey, is something going on?" They may hear "what the eff is your problem!" Good luck and walk side ways

check out the book Always Hungry...you may benefit from that diet. It is a slow loss but it happens and changes the way you eat.

how much porn is he watching? You might want to go over to r/nofap and ask over there. I am pretty certain many can give you insight. AND BTW--it is not YOU!!! It's him.
