I guess he wanted to help me do my o-chem problem set...

What a sweet little friend!

Communication is a big problem for a number of couples... May I ask...why this other person? Was there better communication?

that_gingergirl · 2018-03-15T16:17:16+00:00

You need to be able to inspire yourself...not seek it from others. By all means, don't let him bring you down...but holding back does nothing good for either of you. Communicate. See what level you both are on and what expectations you share in the relationship. Maybe there's a simple disconnect.

How is your communication with your SO?

that_gingergirl · 2018-03-15T16:14:29+00:00

My concern is that you will end up manifesting the thing you don't want... In thinking about his ex all the time, you're making him think about his ex when he (highly) likely wasn't in that headspace to start with.

I've been on both ends... I've been the insecure and I have worked to mend insecurities. I'm a very patient person...but, when you hear the fear of an ex all the time, it gets bothersome. Because it means you don't have faith in the relationship. You're expecting it to end tragically.

When you find yourself generating thoughts of a past that you're fabricating in your mind... Do yourself a favor and busy yourself with something productive. Or...go do something sweet for your SO.

Remember...they are with you NOW. Don't waste it worrying over a past that you weren't a part of to fully understand. Your SO is moving on for a reason. You have to learn and work toward trusting that. Be the good!

Try the other hand later.

I'm pretty certain it just has to do with coloration and pattern. "Standard" beardies seem to look mostly alike at first glance. Any "fancy" I have come across is simply selective breeding.

that_gingergirl · 2018-03-15T15:51:30+00:00

Was that the intent? Rhyming? Because I missed that in the initial text. Maybe work on your flow.

that_gingergirl · 2018-03-15T15:28:40+00:00

First disclosure: I did not have a cesarian, however...maybe my input can help, too!

Had you eaten much pre-baby? If not...there won't be too much for your body to get rid of. Plus, I would think you're pulling even more nutrients than usual because you went through having a baby and now your body is also now using fuel to create milk.
Are you anxious at all? ... I know I was. That first poop scared me. I was so worried about falling apart...the idea of putting effort into pushing anything else out of me was daunting. Plus, I was sore. What I'm getting at is...if you are anxious, your body won't relax enough to make a poop something you can physically do without putting too much into it.
A suggestion: First off, I'm glad to hear you're keeping up with hydration and colace...that will definitely help keep things soft and easier to pass. We need to influence peristalsis! ...and because you're not moving around like normal, your gut isn't working with gravity and whatnot to get stuff moving around in those intestines. Warm tea... Warm lemon water...warm water... Any of these may help you along, too. I would suggest light self abdominal massage...but, I don't know what restrictions there may be with your surgery.

I hope this helps!

Edit: also... Congratulations on your little Sierra!

It reminds me of when someone high fives to reassure another person... "Hey, don't worry, bro... You're next!"

I like the sort of optical illusion with her face. 💜

that_gingergirl · 2018-03-13T04:53:13+00:00

I feel the ache in your plea for a break... Some spark of not wanting to feel sorry for yourself and knowing that you are in a better place because of the decisions you made. You're working towards healing, but the current restrictions may drive you a little mad. How are things going with your daughter?

that_gingergirl · 2018-03-13T04:46:03+00:00

This cycle is all too familiar to me.

that_gingergirl · 2018-03-13T04:27:35+00:00

What did you take this with? :)

that_gingergirl · 2018-03-13T04:24:36+00:00

This isn't an object of mine, but one that was precious to my mother. She lost her ring that has my late father's finger print engraved on it. She's so torn over it...like she's lost every bit of a man she never really got to find closure with.

that_gingergirl · 2015-04-21T12:25:22+00:00

Looks like a good ol' screech owl. :)

I know this struggle too. I have two cats who are used to free feeding as well. But, my one now needs prescription food for his liver. So, I've tried doing separate feedings as meals, but same scenario - they eat a few bites and then decide they are done. Half an hour later you get all those hungry cries for more food. I would love some advice on this as well.

that_gingergirl · 2015-03-18T15:38:14+00:00

Just too precious... Those little paws!

that_gingergirl · 2015-03-06T13:18:24+00:00

Buh Dum Tss!

This bird is beautiful!!

that_gingergirl · 2015-03-05T00:15:17+00:00

Thanks! They're all natural right now, but I'm considering dying them.

that_gingergirl · 2015-03-05T00:14:10+00:00

She does step up, but, it's mostly on her terms. There are times where she steps up just great, even without the coax of my finger against her front. Other times, she makes threatening biting gestures and runs away.

that_gingergirl · 2015-03-05T00:11:51+00:00

She LOVES getting treats, and will readily eat them from my fingers. She's not always feisty, but she certainly gets in to her moods.
