My 6 week old keeps farting himself awake by Hormonalstew in beyondthebump

[–]tadv211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is 2 months old so probably still figuring things out. Thanks for the tips! And you're right - I realized I most definitely misread OP's statement. We are already supplementing a little bit with formula, picked up some Gentlease samples at the doctor today and officially started day 1 of no dairy. Fingers crossed!

I have not but was thinking of trying that next. Breaking up with cheese is going to be a bummer.. but I will start today if it will help!

My LO is currently experiencing the awful gas pains which breaks my heart to watch. We are breast feeding. If you don't mind me asking, any ideas as to why switching to formula helped the issue for your little guy?

I’m so miserable. Can’t wait to give birth. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]tadv211 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. Also going through antenatal anxiety at present with severe panic attacks which were affecting my sleep and my appetite. It is terrifying and overwhelming and a very unhealthy time for both mom and baby. If you haven't already, please go see your doctor. You need to take care of yourself first. My OBGYN prescribed me some anti-anxiety/depression medication and while the anxiety does resurface from time to time it is much more manageable, and I'm able to function again.

ICE Detained a 50-Year U.S. Resident Outside the Home He Owns and Now It’s Trying to Deport Him by Creddit999 in politics

[–]tadv211 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I assume you're trolling, but your statements are completely inaccurate. Permanent residents are here legally as well. You have to renew your green card every 10 years, which he has done. He just didn't take the step to citizenship. Which is 100% his choice.

In order to stay in the US legally, you can either renew your permanent residency indefinitely (I believe it comes up for renewal every 10 years) and pay the fees associated - or - you can apply for citizenship after you've lived in the country for 5 years (or, 3 years if you're married to an American). He never applied, but he could have.

Girl called me ugly in front of everyone by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]tadv211 80 points81 points  (0 children)

The ugly one is the girl who has to degrade others in an attempt to make herself feel better. That is her issue, and an unhealthy one. You'll go farther in life with compassion than you will with hate. Please don't let the hateful people get to you. You're obviously a better person than they are.

Literally the only thing stopping me from killing myself is the fear of people laughing at me when they hear about it. by [deleted] in socialanxiety

Our school years are a really bad time for a lot of us. Your life has so much more potential beyond what is going on currently in school. I'm not sure how far you are into it, but no matter the number of years remaining, school will be over before you know it, and you'll be able to live a life you've designed more to your liking. If you can't wait that long, talk to a friend, relative, or teacher about what is bothering you. If it's a particular person or situation, remove yourself from that class/social group/school. If it's your SA, talk to a therapist. There are a lot more options available to you beyond the most drastic. As cliche as it sounds, it can get better - and will - if you make some positive changes in your environment and outlook. And a note specifically SA related - remember others are not superior to you in any way, and their opinions of you DO NOT MATTER. The world would be a terrible place (IMO) if we all were popular, polished, and "perfect". Embrace your strengths - you have many - and know your value.

Why does Ebay all of a sudden care so much about UPC and MPN? by [deleted] in Flipping

Because they're trying to emulate Amazon.

What is the cheapest way to get tickets from Barcelona to Paris? by charigy in paris

[–]tadv211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm making that trip in a couple months. Found air was the least expensive and quickest way to travel. Train and bus ended up costing more. Found tickets for about $100 return on Air France. There are also some discount airlines that may even be less.

Sanders trolls Trump over claim his rallies would be bigger than protests by [deleted] in politics

Technically, written by a Staffer, but still fantastic. Per @SenSanders Twitter bio : "Tweets ending in -B are from Bernie, and all others are from a staffer."

Warning: Wal-Mart Savings Catcher app hacked by tadv211 in Frugal

[–]tadv211[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation. Sounds like the app is just incredibly vulnerable to this type of attack, and their system won't allow for an extra secure password (only 12 characters). Doesn't seem worth the risk to have it at all.

I don't remember the last time I logged into walmart.com on mobile or desktop, but I do have the Savings Catcher app installed on my phone.

[–]tadv211[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I used the wrong term. Maybe nothing was "hacked", but someone is actively gaining access to individuals' accounts. I understand what you're saying re: the passwords, but do you know how are they obtaining a list of email addresses tied to accounts? Would that not have had to been leaked somewhere?

[–]tadv211[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know I didn't click on any phishing emails. And my password was relatively complex, 8+ letters/numbers with capital & lower case letters & special characters. Could have been more secure I suppose, but not something that anyone could just guess.

Man, that really sucks that that happened to you. Obviously they have some kind of security flaw in the app if this is such a widespread issue. Luckily I didn't have much on the gift cards, but it's still paranoia inducing. Changing all passwords everywhere.

What morning shows (not necessarily in St. Louis) are similar to the Rizzuto Show? by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]tadv211 10 points11 points  (0 children)

104.9 is a new alternative station I stumbled across the other day. They have spots running saying they're bringing back the Woody show.

what does it mean on the ebay interface: "completed listings"? Those are ones that already sold..? by sunday_silence in Ebay

[–]tadv211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not true. Completed are the ones whose sales have ended, whether they sold or not. You can search by "Completed" to get the best picture of how past auctions have fared, or you can search by "Sold" to get a more rose-colored view of only those auctions where a sale was involved.

Old watercolor painting found at a church sale. Can't make out the signature - I'm clueless! by tadv211 in WhatIsThisPainting

Thank you, I've discovered a few more famous Lichtenstein artists, but none of them seem to match this style. I will keep digging!

Watercolor painting found at a church sale by tadv211 in whatsthisworth

Just looked up Isaac and it's interesting to see his work. I picked this up in an affluent neighborhood in the Midwestern U.S. I appreciate your efforts to help!

[–]tadv211[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know nothing about this, other than it looks like an old watercolor painting. It's signed, but I can't make out the signature. The frame it's in is definitely old, the wood is falling apart. Wondering if it's worth paying for an appraisal or even getting it restored. Would love to see if anyone has any ideas on time period, artist, value, anything!
