My soul dog’s ashes are in the cremation box since 2019. I am so not attached to them as I believe ashes to ashes. Max is gone; I have lots of photos of him to help with the memories. He was 120 pounds so the ashes weigh a lot. They are heavy like a weight, literally and figuratively. I want to let those ashes become part of something else he loved, a spot in the yard, the mulch in the gardens, spots in the neighborhood we walked. I don’t want to hang onto the weight anymore and I’m ok with that. I have 2 more shepherds now so I’m busy with their lives. OP don’t let others make you feel guilty for wanting to let go of the ashes. ❤️

How is a female, me, gonna pee in the tumbler composter?

The stop decal is on both driver and passenger side windows.

Kia’s recall gave me a steering wheel lock for my 2016. Then another recall to put an extra piece over the ignition. The major deterrent was Kia putting a “Stop. This car is protected with ignition locks” 🤦🏻‍♀️

Austin sucks. I’m here too. Retired/quit teacher and now subbing for income. My goal is to reduce my expenses, streaming only, looking into another mobile carrier, asking for senior discounts everywhere …. What about going to churches or food banks for help with food? I’m also trying to sell things I don’t need or want anymore.

Get the book How To Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis. She’s on social media but with your young kiddos you probably don’t have time for that. Give yourself some grace and do what works for you.

Former 2nd grade teacher here: read Henry and Mudge series, about a boy and his dog Mudge (good for beginning new readers) or Beverly Cleary who writes about 3-4th grade books about Rigsby and Henry. She wrote The Mouse and The Motorcycle if you’ve seen the movie. The one thing I miss about teaching was reading aloud to kids!

WD 40 and rub. Honestly tho try the blow dryer first.

Came to say that Proviable is a miracle for doggy diarrhea. Use it all the time for fosters and my own.

I get behavioral medications from my regular vet. To see a behaviorist here costs $500 for the initial visit. I can’t afford that. Also the above suggestions are wonderful.

Sore throat for several weeks and then I couldn’t get out of bed this weekend, extreme exhaustion, body aches, headache, cough, sneezing. Went to weekend Dr who said it’s probably the flu because the vaccine didn’t work well this year. (I’m vaxed for flu & COVID). I tested negative for strep, COVID and flu so Dr said upper respiratory infection and to expect several weeks of this. Yee haw. He gave me prescription cough medicine which gives me horrible dreams and prescription nasal spray which is like blow drying the insides of my mouth and nose. I’m still coughing, sore throat, and tired af. So yes I know others with this too.

Speaking in a foreign accent is likely from one of her personalities. My sil had MPD and it was heartbreaking to watch and realize how badly trauma affects some people.

Dr. Esche is amazing! Have seen him for over 20 yrs.

Every life skills sub job I took, the paras do all the hard work. Mostly they need a teacher there for walking students to other places and helping with the day. Much respect for people who do this.

I wipe the seat. Good for this kid. What’s the issue with it?

Hello Weather app. There is a yearly charge that I happily pay because I can choose from about 7 different weather programs, get present and future radar, have multiple locations. It’s been great.

Former Elementary teacher here! Dowser Dan came to my school every year! The kids loved him. The city of Austin stopped funding his position.

Elementary sub here. Teach them when you say “flat tire” or “waterfall”, they say Shhhh! Lots of fun ones online

Omg Row Counter is on phone and I never thought about using the watch for it!! Crochet here. TY

There are women’s shelters and because you are disabled with an infant, you’ll be given priority. Make a police report after you leave.

I’ve had two teachers I told that if they didn’t put me in Frontline by a particular date, then I would probably take another job because that is the only way I can confirm. Period. And if it wasn’t in there, I took another job.

Draw your SS now. The longer you wait, the less over your life you’ll have. What if you pass at 65? We don’t know when. Draw it and live off both. You can earn up to 22500 and not pay a penalty.

Just google it. The counselor will tell the admin who will tell the admin of the school etc. You can call 24/7. I’m getting the number for you.
