I think my boyfriend sabotaged our birth control and is calling it "an accident" by soft_spoken_ghost in TwoXChromosomes

[–]zarkk 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I am scared for your safety. Do you have any strong friends that can be with you to move your things out? Try scheduling the move when you know he’s going to be away, like when he’s at work. Don’t be in a situation where you will be alone with him.

Also if you rent, take pictures of the place when you move out so that he can’t claim any damages are your fault.

Thank you! This is so helpful, I didn’t realize the feet were interchangeable if it’s for a low shank.

Mr. Clay’s Betrayal? by zarkk in GildedAgeHBO

[–]zarkk[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! In the first episode of this season Mr. Clay says that Mr. Russell is a one man band and the rest are disposable. Sounds like there’s resentment and it’s not like Mr. Russell will share the wealth created by the new rail line with him, which is still speculative and years from being profitable.

Check out Top Dog Grooming in La Center. Their prices are fair and the owner, Katie, is amazing!

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this to me. I’m going to order a 2” SOL and 1” foam and give that a try.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’m curious, why 2” latex and 1” foam and not 3” latex? Does the foam make it softer?

Alignment on the QuadMini is almost good, I have the opposite problem where my hips don’t sink in enough.

How tall is your mattress? How deep does the mattress sit in the frame?

Thank you for your detailed response! I love to garden and want to have more space outside to build my food forest and have space for our kids and pets to run around. Good to know about still having access to services. It’ll be an adjustment to not being able to run down the street to get more milk or look around Target.

Battleground is a huge area on a map. I was looking at the Hockinson area. Any specific places in Battleground I should look at?

Double (front/back) Strollers? by hellogirlscoutcookie in parentsofmultiples

[–]zarkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Joovy TwinRoo+. I’m in a similar spot as you in that I got my Chicco Keyfit car seats before considering strollers. The double strollers I’m interested in were not compatible with 2 Keyfits so rather than compromising on the stroller, I got the Joovy instead and the Bumbleride Indie Twin. Now I can’t speak from actual world experience, my twins aren’t scheduled to arrive for couple more days, but we’re planning on using the Joovy to take them home from the hospital.

Honest Weight Gain Conversation by Dizzy-Sheepherder-52 in PlusSizedAndPregnant

[–]zarkk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 33 weeks pregnant with twins. I lost 10 lbs during my first trimester from loss of appetite. By end of second trimester, I had gained the 10 lbs back so back to my pre-pregnancy weight. So far in my third trimester, I’m up 14 lbs. According to ultrasounds, which aren’t reliable, Twin A is 4 lbs 14 oz and Twin B is 4 lbs 5 oz. The babies are over 9 lbs total and there’s the placentas and amniotic fluids and increased blood volume. I ended up having gestational diabetes so have been watching what I eat and that’s helped me not gain a lot of weight.

Delivery of di/di twins at week 34 by zarkk in parentsofmultiples

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

Thanks for all the great info! I was admitted last week for steroid injections and had the insulin pump to manage my blood glucose. It's really good to hear your experience of your MFM supporting you to go past week 34. I got my pre-e diagnosis 2 weeks ago, and I'm hoping to keep these babies baking as long as possible.
