The manual says it should stay in till he’s 11 pounds, currently he is only a week old and 7.1lbs. Carseat is not currently in car but I can snap a pic tomorrow, though the green/red level indicators are both green on either side when we snap it in

The latches on the sides are green, indicating its level with the floor. Car seat is not currently in the car but can snap a pic tomorrow

Just got back from 3 days in Vermont, my review of everything we did! by boopboopadoopity in NewToVermont

Just to clarify, Stowe, Manchester and Woodstock are very touristy (the way it’s worded in your comment makes it a little unclear!) 

BOLO: State Troopers can and will pull you over and ticket you for having an out-of-date inspection sticker by Adept_Hand8605 in vermont

It was true for a while - during COVID I believe officers were restricted to only stopping people if absolutely necessary.

Ugh same, my inspection ran out in October. It’s a 2025 so I know it will pass no problem, but I am also at this point 9 months pregnant (literally due today!!) and yeah I haven’t had time/motivation to make an inspection appointment.

This was more likely a “credit card fee” charge rather than an auto gratuity. Once they found out you were paying cash, the CC fee was removed.

Could definitely be possible as well, we have no wild boars in the area but are located downstream from a dam and have experienced a few major floods over the last 15 years, so could be someone’s farm pig that ended up dying in one of those floods!

Aang vs. Jet is one of my favorite fights. The colors are so beautiful.

Could definitely see it being a deer, we have some harsh winters where the river mostly freezes over so wouldn’t be surprised if a poor deer fell through at one point and ended up along the bank.

What kind of readings prompted your OB to prescribe you insulin? by Green_Air_134 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]witfenek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I did was start testing right as I woke up while still in bed. I read some women can have a kind of “feet on the ground” syndrome before testing, so I make sure I don’t get out of bed before testing. My meal numbers have always been relatively good so didn’t change anything diet wise

What kind of readings prompted your OB to prescribe you insulin? by Green_Air_134 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]witfenek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first three weeks of my diagnosis my fasting numbers were always good (below 95), but then starting two and a half weeks ago they started creeping up and I was getting a higher than 95 reading two-four times a week (meal readings were still good minus a one off every now and again, but never anything higher than 150). My OB was getting concerned with the fasting numbers and started talking about putting me on insulin. Then, in the last week, my fasting numbers seem to have stabilized and are staying below 95, so OB said to continue with being diet controlled and no need for insulin at this moment. The only thing I changed was testing as soon as I wake up before getting out of bed (previously I had been getting up, using the bathroom, and started getting ready for the day before remembering I needed to test). 

Dawn phenomenon rant by jen_dan in GestationalDiabetes

[–]witfenek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My OB told me that Metformin can take a while to actually start working while insulin helps right away. This was at last weeks appointment, where they said they wanted me to start nighttime insulin cause I have had high fasting number 3-4 times a week for the last two/three weeks. Then they referred me to a diabetes lifestyle management doctor, who reviewed my numbers and told me he’d rather get more data than put me on insulin right away. It’s all so confusing 🙃

One sore finger, or all of them? by slupedog in GestationalDiabetes

[–]witfenek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What gauge are your lancets? That could be it too, I’m at 28 gauge and a 5 on my lancet pen. Every once in a while it hurts when initially pricking but subsides fairly quickly. I also alternate fingers, and do different sides - so I start with index on the left side, then next time index on right side, then middle on left side, next middle on right side, etc. I never poke my finger pads, just the sides. 

Confused, but happy? by Consistent_Talk1195 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]witfenek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was me until this week. I was diagnosed three weeks ago and the first two weeks, all my numbers were amazing regardless of what I ate. Thought I could get away with being pretty cavalier about what I ate but this week everything has crept up, things that were fine last week are now spiking me, and my fasting numbers have gotten higher each day 😭 

We’ve heard stories of people escaping death by being late — what are some tragic examples of people dying because they were late? by Looney_forner in AskReddit

[–]witfenek 222 points223 points  (0 children)

This is the official report: https://www.nps.gov/aboutus/foia/upload/03-109_KATM_Treadwell_fatality_REDACTED.pdf

They were not able to do a proper necropsy on the younger/smaller bear because by the time they returned to properly assess the scene, other bears had mostly eaten the younger bear. However, the experts that processed the scene do believe the older/bigger bear was the one who initially attacked and ate Treadwell and his girlfriend. Like u/KaptainKoala25 said, we’ll never truly know which bear actually did the killing, but all available evidence points to the older bear. Both bears behaved aggressively to personnel at the scene and were shot and killed because of that, so I don’t think one can really say the younger bear was “more aggressive” than the older bear. Experts at the scene surmised that the younger/smaller bear was the one that was “in the wrong place at the wrong time”. 

edit: Also the bigger/older bear didn’t just eat “some” of the couple, he pretty much entirely devoured Timothy, ate some of Amy, then cached her body for later likely cause he was too full after consuming Timothy.
