If you had children less than two years apart. Did your youngest have health issues?

My kids are roughly a year apart. First was planned. We were one and done. Husband even had a vasectomy. I wasn't great at taking my birth control on time but I thought as long as I took it every day I would be good. I had gotten into my 30s without an unplanned pregnancy... I didnt even know I was pregnant with my second untill I was about 10 weeks along.

My youngest was born with an inherited kidney issue called vesticortial reflux. I didn't even know it ran in my family but thats a whole other story. My youngest had 3 hospital stays and a surgery for that. When he was 3, 4, and 7 he was hospitalized because his blood counts dropped. He saw every specialist at the time. I believed he had auto immune issues but that was dismissed. At 6 he was diagnosed with adhd. At 9 he was diagnosed with autism. Now at 10 he has what they called yesterday "classic auto immune symptoms". So today we go for more blood work.

I should mention, I am also an "oops baby". My brother and I are less than a year apart. So maybe things were already against me genetically. I also have auto immune issues but mine started in my late 30s. Vasculitis is the only one that is definitive but they believe i have lupus, I dont check every box, so i see rheum twice a year and they monitor everything.

I don't know why exactly I am posting this. I feel like I failed him. The trials he has to endure at such a young age. He had a mental breakdown last year. It was bad. Was hospitalized (less than a week) for that and missed 3 months of school. Now hes in a special ed school and is thriving there.

I feel like I failed him. My husband tells me we are doing everything right. That we always seek help and answers. We dont just ignore anything going on with him, but I made him. I feel like my body failed him. Is that narcissistic? Im really struggling right now. I am in therapy but my son isn't someone we usually discuss because my birth family (for lack of better term) is such a mess. I will be bringing all of this up at my next session though.

What is something that is normal for someone else but you just can't do it because of claustrophobia?

My husband and I were discussing the S.S. Abraham Lincoln and how long it has been at sea. He was a marine and spent a decent amount of time on ships. He thinks his longest stint without a port was about 35 days. I can not wrap my head around this. I told him that even thinking about being on a ship where I couldn't just go to land is anxiety inducing.

Some how we also talked about broken bones. I dont know how that came up but has anyone had to wear a cast? I dont think I could do it. I panick when the dogs pin me under the blankets 😂 i cant imagine having a plaster cast on. I would need to be sedated.

Francis and Eleanor DeRenzis hiding at Magnolia Cemetery, Philadelphia

This setting seems intentional. There are stones right behind this one that are not covered or surrounded by the bushes at all.

Goodboy Dog Rescue had their camera stolen by this woman. Does anyone recognize her? (wallingford)

Taken from their Facebook post

"We are looking for help identifying the woman pictured below.

GoodBoy Dog Recovery had a camera and feeding station set up in Chester Park on the Wallingford Pa side while attempting to locate and safely capture a small teacup Yorkie that has been running loose in the area. The camera had our business card attached to it so anyone who came across it would know who it belonged to and what it was being used for.

This afternoon at 1232pm, our camera captured video of a woman walking her dog locating the camera. When she walked away with it, I began speaking through the camera's two-way audio feature and asked that it be returned. A short time later, video showed the camera being thrown from the woman’s vehicle window. We have been unable to locate it, and the device is now offline. The woman was initially seen with a black trash bag in hand so perhaps she cleans up at the park. However, she did not clean up any of the trash in the vicinity of the camera-she left immediately after grabbing our camera.

These cameras are expensive pieces of equipment and are essential to our lost dog recovery efforts. This camera also had an active annual data plan attached to it worth almost $200.

We would simply like the camera returned—no questions asked.

If you recognize this woman or have any information that may help us recover the camera, please send us a private message.

We want to be very clear that we do not want this woman harassed or targeted in any way. Our only goal is to have it returned so we can continue helping lost dogs get home safely.

Please share this post so we can continue our efforts to locate the Yorkie and recover the equipment needed to help dogs like this get home safely.

Thank you"

Turned my white hair yellow, then green. How do I fix this?

Natural hair is a heavy mix of white and brown. I used blue shampoo because thats what i had from when i used a pink color depositing conditioner that left orange stains. I ended hp having the orange cut out. My flat iron turned my bangs yellow yesterday and now they are green from the blue shampoo. Is there any way to fix this? Its much more green than the picture shows.
