does she realize how trashy she is

I have a 20 month old and a 4.5 year old (also an infant so the other middle seat has his car seat on it)

The 4 year old uses the EasyTurn forward facing with the tether attached to the back of the seat.

We have a third row vehicle and my 20 month old usually sits in the back in his regular Graco car seat.

When I’m only taking my two littles I want to be able to put my 20 month old in the EasyTurn in the middle row rear facing. Can I do this, if the car seat is installed with the tether in forward facing mode?

Is the installation the same, as long as the child is not 35 pounds yet? (Like the 2 buckles attached to the seat vs the long strap tether to the BACK of the seat?)

I have watched every video I can find and I can’t find one that explicitly states that yes, while it’s installed, you can put a child rear facing or forward facing in it. I don’t want to just assume because I’m so paranoid, so I need it spelled out for me. I’m just not confident about this. I also called the local fire department but they didn’t sound like they knew what I meant and I can’t just *go* because I work during the day.

Also - can I just use the buckles and the tether for EXTRA safety? Or does it not matter until they are heavier? 20 month old is 25 pounds, 4.5 year old is 35 pounds.

Please be nice lol. I’m just trying to be extra careful. My children are my life!!!!!!!

I don’t know why reading the manual I just don’t understand. We had the Turn2Me for awhile and I know for sure you have to install it a different way so I never even bothered with that.

Hey!

We have an employee that has been with us for about 3 years now. We are a small cafe and start pay off at $12/hr + tips. The tips are good. We guarantee $20/hr if they don't make it with their tips. Employee gets to keep all tips they make. This is a LCOL area.

Employee has had multiple raises and is now making 16/hr + tips and is basically bringing in more than $2000 a pay period (bi weekly) but says she wants a change and is willing to leave if she can find something that pays more (specifically another cafe) but full time with less responsibility (she has managerial duties that are very basic). She works 40 hours here and does not receive benefits (she declined them). We are wondering.. what is she thinking? She has no obvious complaints about working here, we think she is just bored and wants a change of scenery. She has threatened to leave 2-3 times in the past year.

At this point, I feel like this is a weird situation and she just wants more money, which we are willing to give her another small raise, but not if she is going to come back in 90 days and ask for more. More money isn't going to make you less bored. My thought process is we have tried to make her happy and she isn't, so we should consider letting her leave. Most people that leave come back, so we would let her if she wanted to, just not at that same rate. Most shops near us start at $8/hr.

What would you do? She is a good employee.

Kiddo is almost 20 months.

He has slept in a pack and play his entire life and I have tried 3 separate times to get him into his bed. It's a queen bed with no rails but it is on a small box spring.

I tried looking into this online and please hear me out when I say that I do not know what is right or wrong, if there is such thing, but I have heard that people have a lot of beef with the "put child in bed and walk away, over and over until they fall asleep even if they are upset" method.

A few things about my child (he is very easygoing for the most part)

- we never coslept

- he was transitioned to his own room at 6 months

- he ALWAYS passed out the second I put him in his bed, no cuddling, singing, rocking needed, ever

- handled losing the passy and sleep sack overnight

So, I'm not "randomly taking away these things" and expecting him to do well. It's just a different bed. I'm still doing the same routine: pajamas, brush teeth, play a little bit, tuck him in, give him his lovey. so I feel like the posts I'm finding aren't really relevant to us because they say they need cuddles still and he never needed them! I would try to snuggle before bed and it just hypes him up, so we would turn on his hatch, say goodnight, and he'd be asleep in 5 mins.

Is there anything else I could try? I know he may not be ready but if we don't do it now we are gonna have to do it sometime so tips can be helpful either way.

He doesn't have a favorite anything (blanket) but I did consider maybe he wants more things on his bed like stuffies or something?

I caught one on the tile, by then it was too late and I sorta froze. The second one I caught and grabbed him fast and put him on the pot but he didn’t finish on the toilet, now it’s nap time.

How many pees did you catch and grab them to go on the potty? The oh crap method said to expect like five pees over 24 months. He is 18 months if that matters at all.

I am legitimately confused. I've watched this show 5000 times and it seems to be the only show where there isn't some kind of affair between the two main characters. It was very clear to ME that Olivia and Elliot never had a relationship other than friendship/cop partners or whatever but nothing romantic.

Why is it such a big deal when he comes back that Liv tells him about her relationship with some guy? (I assume Ed Tucker) is it just because it was Tucker and he was IAB, or is this hinting that Olivia and Elliot DID have a relationship?

I'm so confused

I have mild psoriasis. It used to be moderate (covering my ears, scalp, lower back, abdomen, back of legs, all over arms!) and somehow God decided enough was enough and one day I woke up and it was practically gone and I did not use any treatment for years after trying it all. No idea what happened there.

After my second child, my first kiddo was hospitalized for a few months and it was traumatic in more ways than one and it triggered my psoriasis to come back but it still wasn’t horrible, however this time it was on my forehead. It had been years and years since I even considered topical steroids due to the fact that they can cause withdrawal, but my long winded question is..

My regimen is desonide every other week until clear, and then I don’t use it until it comes back. Just in the middle of my forehead. I have another steroid for my stomach because it showed up there too but I don’t care about that anymore. Is it really a big deal to do this long term? Let’s say a year?

I care a lot about how my skin looks, and I’ve gotten to a place where I can slap some spf on and walk out the door and feel cute. I used to wear heavy makeup and now I care more about my skin than what my actual face looks like. But the psoriasis on my forehead is really bugging me and the only thing that helps is the cream. The reason I’m bringing this up is it went away again after about 6 months post trauma, and now it’s back after having my third - I assume triggered by hormones and stress maybe? It’s bumpy and ugly and even if I need to dab some concealer on it’s so dry and looks terrible.

Steroid is the only thing that will work until I’m in remission again. How bad are they, really? (I understand how they work, but don’t know if adding another thing to my routine is that big of a deal considering every day I brush my teeth, take my pill, clean my aligners, floss, clean my ears, now I added dabbing a tiny bit of cream on my face)

I could be 40 lbs up and not care but my cellulite is out of this world. How can I improve it? Is there any actual way, with evidence, and science? Or am I just going to be a lumpy queen forever

Hi there,

how did you keep up muscle growth while pumping? I do lose weight while pumping and am pumping a massive oversupply. If I'm doing the math right I'm burning an extra 1600 calories a day. I can only eat what I can eat, and am trying to keep my protein up, but I don't understand how I'm supposed to build muscle with my body burning calories like this.

I'm 8 weeks postpartum with my third and wanting to get my health and body back!

I have an oversupply not because I drink so much of this stuff (don’t let me convince you that this is magic) but I drink so much of this stuff because I have an oversupply.

I am struggling with drinking water so at night I fill a 30oZ and a 40oz tumblr with two packs of electrolytes each because I wake up PARCHED. pumping this much (I’ll spare the amount because it’s fucking ridiculous) is draining all the water my body has.

Am I going to like, die, from the sodium intake? Should I stop

Why are we like this

Hi I really don’t mean to shit on anyone here or make them feel bad so trigger warning.

but this is my third baby and each time I’ve had an oversupply and I assume it’s because I pumped from the freaking second my kids were born. With my first he was intubated so I was wheeled into post op and had a pump on my boobs immediately. I have a large capacity and I have read that you can develop more milk ducts (?) with each concurrent pregnancy. With my first I had about 50oz a day, with my second 60oz but I got pregnant around 6 months pp and my supply did dwindle. This is my third and I have pumped only 5 times today and am already at 68oz. What the actual fuck. I can’t afford to buy bags like this, I can’t donate the milk because they always deny me for a medication I’m on, and I can’t find anyone on Nextdoor or Facebook to donate to because my posts keep getting deleted. My boobs hurt and are going to be on the freaking ground when I’m done pumping. I am on track to pump over 80 oz today because I have two pumps left and I don’t know if it’s ok to drop another pump. I am 4 weeks postpartum. I had mastitis 7!!! Times with my first and once with my second because I literally sanitized between each pump and I am so scared of that happening again.

I do not know how to decrease my supply

Edit: absolutely love whoever reported me for this post. Absolute insanity that people with oversupplies can’t struggle too. Smh you creature

SSA office has been notified and they told me right then and there on the phone that it should take max 72 hours to change on the website. It’s been a few weeks and it’s still my maiden name. We are trying to sign up for Trump accounts but I don’t want to do it considering that is not my name any longer.

Has anyone dealt with this? We have filed tax returns with my married name for two years. Why hasn’t it updated? I can’t contact the IRS because they say just contact SSA. What do I do?

I can’t seem to get more than 7 pumps in a day. I’m working and have three kids. It’s manageable but the timing is just off.

I am pumping 50-60oz a day and with my first I didn’t cut back until 12 weeks and with my second I didn’t cut back until 6 weeks but I didn’t lose supply then. But I’m only 3 weeks pp. If I “regulate” will I regulate closer to 50oz or less..?

I’m on tray 6 of 14. I have a bite plate, fourteen attachments, and have to wear rubber bands. I have a very minimal cross bite we are fixing. My teeth are quite straight and minimally crowded. I lost my retrainer one day like fourteen years ago (I’m pretty sure my dads housekeeper threw it away lol) and it was $800 to replace and at the time I was just a kid and couldn’t replace it myself and my dad didn’t want to buy another. My smile was awesome after getting my braces off. It was big and looked genuine. Now it’s small and weird, I assume because my teeth shifted obviously.

I asked them to bring back what I lost basically, and it’s a lite treatment with 14 trays. How can they achieve this in such a short amount of time? 2 weeks per tray. How do they actually make my smile bigger? I’m seeing an ortho that has a FCK ton of 5 star reviews and ZERO complaints throughout town. I know I am seeing a skilled ortho. But.. how is it possible to shift your teeth around to make your smile bigger and wider?

It’s not a clog but it sorta feels like the same pain. This is my third time pumping and I have never dealt with this before. I hand express after pumping for 12-15 minutes because at that point the pump stops getting milk out. It hurts to touch almost Iike I have a cut or an ingrown hair but I don’t actually see anything or feel any lumps.

I use pumpin pal flanges (tried and true) and again, have never had this issue before. I’m unsure what to try to relieve it and can’t take ibuprofen because I get ulcers. I’ve been pumping for almost two weeks now and I do have an OS because I have a large capacity.

It’s not recommend to use lubricant for those flanges but wondering if anyone does anyway? I have no idea what to do but it’s quite painful

Super weird. I can’t even make an online account until I get my card in the mail.

It had me add my account number and bank to the account I wanted to balance transfer, but the page reloaded, so I did it again, and it just didn’t work and refreshed again, but then the page said I was approved for the card and it was going to be mailed out soon.

Am I able to apply for a balance transfer after I receive the card? That’s the whole reason I did it.

Just want some advice regarding who to contact first and how to handle this, please!

We hit our out of pocket max in March. I was 30 weeks pregnant and taken to the ER by ambulance for kidney stones in April and we finally got our bill from the ride. It says we owe $664 more than our EOB says we owe.

It specifically says on our EOB -

Amount not allowed - $664 - "The amount your provider billed for this visit that exceeds our network contract; you do not owe this. Explanation: The health care provider agreed to accept the allowable amount, so you should not owe this amount."

That $664 charge is on the bill we received, along with a $400 charge/code about disposable supplies that our insurance is NOT covering "Amount Not Covered - The amount you owe for additional service(s) you received during this visit that are not covered by your plan." (even though we hit our OOPMAX?) saying that this code should be bundled with the primary code. Confused about this one. We will pay the $400 if insurance actually doesn't want to cover. But should I try to appeal this entire bill?

Things to note: this provider is "out of network" even though it's an ambulance. Would this not be balance billing and fall under the No Surprise Medical Act? We have out of network benefits but have hit both out of pockets.

We are in Texas!

Our EOB says our bill should total $400, for the disposable supplies, but that's all.

If they are trying to balance bill, why would they do this, after speaking with insurance? Do they really do these things because they are trying to get away with it? Or is this most likely an error?
