Has anyone had Ring service for years, no hiccups and suddenly your history is gone?!

It's only now showing me events going no further than 58 days ago.

We've had everything the same for maybe six years. It's always gone back far and now it's not.

Been taking HRT since November last year. Nine months.

For the last month I've noticed my hair becoming increasingly thick. My hair has always been fluffy and curly. I get a special carve and slice cut that "thins" it so the curls fall into each other. I get it once a year. My hair never seemed to thin when on IVF meds nor after having twins. Nor during this peri phase.

But for last month my hair has seemed have regained the thickness as if I was 17. So I assum over the last 26 yrs it has lost thickness slowly. Either way my head of hair is insanely thick.

Now the reason for my post....that hair down there has ALSO done the same thing in the last week!

Has delayed hair regrowth or whatever been a thing with peri HRT?? It's peri dosages. Not high dosage for other needs.

I need some realness here. Without judgement, of course.

My twins are almost seven.

What are or were your bedtime routines with your elementary-age kiddos when you had two or more very close in age if not same age?

I'm looking for the real routines here.

Not the desired routine. Not the rainbows and butterflies.

I need a change to shorten our routine.

This is for shower nights by the way.

TIA

I can't seem to find when the Racoon Lagoon closes for the season.

Anyone have that information?

Just got an Idea Tab Pro. Got it all set up. Deleted the apps that came pre-installed that I didn't want and added a few.

I have kids, so I clicked on the kids space assuming it was just a consolidated location of kid's games.

It requested to make an official kid account. I set it up without the email option.

Next thing I know I'm stuck in what now appears to be a kids only tablet. I clicked on where it says to exit the kids space. It won't exit. I cleared the cache and force stopped the app. Now it reset the kids space asking me to choose stuff I like just like it did when I first started in the kids app.

Now I have no option at all to back out of the app.

How do I get this off and get control of my Tablet again?

What Android-Tablet do you use for yourself for mostly homeschool?

I'm considering the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro.

I NEED sd card capabilities. It also says it can have three split-screen apps up at a time. I'm a long-time user of Samsung Notes and Galaxy S22 Ultra. Both those lines use a stylus, which the Idea Tab Pro also has.

Anyone else use one? If so, how are you liking it?

ETA: Delivery meal-prep service plan thing is what I meant to say

I don't know where else to ask for help on this.

Feel like I'll be judged and berated in any group I choose except this one. I know it isn't the usual posts but I need help.

I hope I can keep this short.

I will try listing facts. My (F44) adhd is SO bad, diagnosed at 21, that I end up over explaining.

And then my over explaining often doesn't make sense.

- I hate cooking. My brother got that gene from our parents. It skipped me.

- I don't cook.

- I USED to still eat veggies and fruit on the regular just mostly uncooked.

- Since taking hormone meds in 2017/18 for IVF/IUI and then having twins, I cannot be bothered to eat healthy. At all. I don't even want to cut carrots.

- since discovering perimenopause was a thing last yr after six yrs of ppd followed by WTF-DO-I-STILL-FEEL-LIKE-AN-ALIEN-IN-MY-OWN-SKIN, I learned I'm supposed to be doing strength training and eating healthy and all that.

My husband is morbidly obese and slowly losing. I lost 120lbs from 2023 to 2025. (Med assisted)

I need to get healthy and teach our kids to eat healthy.

Has anyone used a meal service to help Jumpstart themselves back to a healthy lifestyle, then stopped using the services b/c you started cooking it on your own?

Like it motivated you basically practicing and realizing you can just do this yourself?

Also, what is a good service that isn't expensive? One you've used and recommend.

Thanks. I feel so guilty not modeling good eating habits.

IS THIS DKA??? She will be 13 next month.

Diagnosed at 430pm on June 5th.

Candidate for Selvengo I think it's called.

All other bloodwork good

Friday afternoon keytone number was .3 I think.

Yesterday afternoon, Monday, it was 1.

It's 7am. I have another appt to test her tomorrow, Wednesday morning.

She ate some last night, then I gave her medicine.

At 3:40 this morning I heard her in the litter box.

I could smell she had diarrhea. She's never had that before.

Should I try to get her in today?

We have HVAC replacement today and didn't want to test today for the stress factor....

But....what would you do?

Vet opens in 40 minutes....

Today is our 21st wedding anniversary.

At our 5th in 2010 we were broke, in college and living with his mom.

In 2015 we were literally waiting to see if a seller would take our offer on our first house. (They did)

In May of 2020 the world was closed and we had six month old twins.

2025 I was stressing about a thousand and one things and planning our first vacation with said twins and also family with all my sibs and dad for August.

But every year it's just another day and I'm not even upset we don't celebrate it like others seem to.

It doesn't feel like a big deal.

I feel bad I DON'T feel like it's a big deal.

Mine doesn't. He kinda just floats around here.... I'm keeping this a short post b/c I'm tired of thinking. But Man, if he had a hobby, something to chill himself. He's got time. I don't, you know, b/c kids.

Tablets or yells at them when I work. I wfh remotely. During events I can't have my kids in and out of the office, he's with them. He never plays with them. They are six. b/g twins. He just makes them get on their tablets or yells at them when they want his attention. My daughter I'm sure has severe ADHD like I have and I'm suspecting PDA as well. My son is ADHD as well but outwardly things affect her worse. He just ignores everything I say and have sent him about their brain growth and comprehension. He acts like they should have a fully functional brain ALL the time. Gets pissed when they can't articulate well and he rushes them when they try to get thoughts out. I'm ranting and frustrated. It's that whole thing that b/c I sent or read stuff about how they just can't hear him or understand him when he's like that. He just says stupid crap like "yeah right." as if nothing I send him is literal documented, peer reviewed child psychology stuff. WHY can't men just understand that women literally have natural instincts, whether they birthed the kid or not. I'm not making any sense. I'm legit just livid. My little girl drew a picture and put it under my door while i was working. It's her with a sad face. I took a risk while working to go address this as we have a camera in the living room. I'm witnessing all this. Her crying and him "what's wrong with you" type stuff. Sorry. I'm totally rambling. This that whole thing where women literally do not know what kind of dad their mate will be until the kid is literally in their everyday lives. There's NO predicting it unless that man already has kids and you can see it before marriage. When I went out there during my job I told him tehy just want your attention and to play. He "said" they only want to play this one thing and I don't want to play it. He "says" he suggested other things. Based on his mood today, I don't think that happened, but I can't knock it. So I threw out a quick list of things he can do with them. Daughter latched onto one. She's totally masking her feelings. But she didn't want to go get the coloring book that was next to him. "why not?" "because I'm scared" He says "scared of what?" I said "scared of you." He asks, why I don't bite. I told him she's afraid you're going to yell at her, berate her, get rudely sarcastic with her. He surprisingly didn't have a snarky rebuttal. I had to go back upstairs. Now my son is on the damn ipad on the couch, daughter is drawing pictures for daddy and he's playing on a handheld xbox gaming console while she draws. People say you marry someone like your father. My dad didn't yell at us. He was the one that stayed quiet so you had to stop being loud and listen. Yeah, he still belted us with a metal studded belt. But he wasn't a yeller and he didn't verbally threaten. So I guess I didn't marry someone like my dad in regards to talking calmly and quietly and being reasonable. Sorry for the out of control spew I just did here. I unfortunately don't have anyone to talk to. Not even my own mother.

I recently discovered the term "functional play." I have 6.5 year old b/g twins. Neither are that great at playing by themselves. Used to be the boy could self-entertain with anything around the house. Now he can't. She can at least do pretend play by herself with dolls. They used to pretend play a lot together and now not so much. When they do, it can last for hours. But they are playing together. I've been trying to figure out how to help my son. There doesn't seem to be anything we have that interest him other than a new Lego set to build (which he can do the 18+ ones within one day) We've known he's got an engineer's mind since day one. He doesn't like to play with cars, figurines or anything like that. He just wants to build or figure things out. But we only have so much space and money to foster that kind of thing. Keeping this short. We've already had a lot but in the off chance someone has some suggestions of contained self-play ideas for functional play? Ideas?

ETA: Forgot to add the self-entertain part is backyard and indoor access only. The times when I need to do grown up home things and cannot have them out front unsupervised.
