My father and I are both LastPass users. He is traveling overseas and had his cellphone stolen, locking him out of his vault. With his permission, I used our pre-configured Emergency Access to get access to his vault, so I could send him some key logins.

Is there a way for me to easily mass-export a few dozen logins from the shared folder? I will copy-paste everything one at a login if I need to, because I love him, but I would rather not.

Got the results back from my 24-hour urine test, and I have ridiculously high oxalate. Doc advises I need to move to a low-oxalate diet. Great, I’d like to avoid further stones.

Well, now I’m looking at the handouts about oxalate and I have questions. Some things aren’t a problem. I’m already a vegetarian, so I don’t get that much animal protein. Beets are terrible, so I’m glad to have a doctor-approved reason to skip them. I’ll be sad to lose spinach, but I can cope.

However, it seems I’m also supposed to reduce my consumption of leafy greens, soy, potatoes, most nuts and legumes, lots of produce, and grains.

That appears to be…ummm…all the foods? Or at least everything in a reasonably balanced diet; it appears I can still have mayonnaise and Sour Patch Kids. But how in the world is anyone staying below 50mg of oxalate a day and still consuming adequate nutrition?

We live in the United States. My 6yo is on the verge of outgrowing the maximum height of our Britax Grow with You ClickTight, which was the tallest harness seat I could find.

We have experimented with a booster, but he’s just not able to sit in it safely. He doesn’t have any physical limitations like hypotonia; it’s purely behavioral. He slumps, pulls the seat belt, chews on the belt, or puts the shoulder belt behind himself. Because of his developmental delays, typical behavioral strategies like social stories and sticker charts aren’t working.

We don’t qualify for Medicaid, and our private insurance does not cover car seats. So we’d like to find an option that’s not thousands of dollars out of pocket. We have a large car with captain’s chairs, so size isn’t a big concern.

I’ve considered a RideSafer vest when they are finally back in stock. For people who have used them, how resistant are they to fiddling/fidgeting/general chaotic behavior? Are there alternatives? Does anyone have a recommended for a 5-point harness that’s not a million dollars?

I have a large panel I plan to quilt and then cut up to make some decorative pillow shams. I’d rather cut them post-wash to make sure they are the right size. Has anyone tried washing an unbound quilt before? Will I be okay as long as I leave myself extra border?

I do plan to stay stitch around the edges. I could also serge them if needed, but I hate to waste all that thread on something I am going to cut off in a few hours.

Asking for a me

I have a bunch of lovely empty spice jars I’d like to refill instead of throwing away. Does anyone know of somewhere local that sells bulk spices that’s not Whole Foods? I’ll go there if I have to, but I fear the parking lot.

(And honestly, I don’t even know if Whole Foods has bulk spices anymore. Haven’t been there in years.)

Two weeks ago, I went to the ED with signs of a bad UTI. I evened up having a stent placed. It turns out I had a large (13mm) kidney stone, and the stent needed to drain properly so they could treat the infection.

The stent was absolutely miserable, so I was really eager to get my follow up scheduled ASAP.

Today I went in to have the stone broken up via laser lithotripsy. The surgeon also placed a new stent. My surgery was the last of the day and ended up significantly delayed, so by the time I was mostly recovered from the anesthesia, most people had gone home.

After I managed my first post-up pee, I started continuously leaking urine. It seems like my body was not ready to cope with another stent, because it expelled it. I had about 5 inches of stent peaking out.

There was no one around at that point but a resident, who said to just have the nurse remove the whole stent and call in the morning.

Had anyone else had this happen? Am I likely to ever up with yet another stent?
