If so tldr me what you need me to do.

Do you think we could start a pro-life action thread where pro-lifers could donate directly to preggos?

With Roe being chipped apart, we will have so many pregnant people in need and I’m sure those opposing abortion are ready to step up.

Or what about a “Donate to prevent my abortion” project? Eh? I’m sure people are ready to step up. Thoughts? How fast would the ban hammer fall if I started that?

I'm trying to do a little info gathering about changes in ICU ratios these days.

If your hospital has changed your ICU or your ICU+SD ratios, what are they now and what were they before?

Did you get anything in return, like reduced documentation burden or a bonus? A documentation scribe? Telehealth support? C-suite answering phones? (Lolllll)

Feel free to vent but I'm also looking for deets

And how good do you feel about yourself for convincing those dumb sluuutes not to have an abortion?

You’re making a difference!

Hello, all. We have had months of great sleep but now we are stuck in a 4:30 a.m. wake up rut. I seek your wisdom!

We sleep trained by extinction method at 3 months and are still on a 3 nap schedule. Baby is almost 7 months and generally prefers more sleep rather than less. He gets fussy when he's getting tired, and that is a clear message to us that he wants to go to sleep. We put him down and he goes right to sleep (nap or night) 95% of the time. Before this wake up change time, he would regularly sleep 6:30p - 6/6:30a. He's healthy, fun, growing etc; just likes his naps!

Loose schedule:

Now wakes before 5 a.m. We let him hang in his bassinet for as long as we can, talking and fus

Hi, all.

I’ve got a 4-weeker, born via unplanned c-section. We had to start supplementing with donor milk even before we left the hospital because he dropped quite a bit of weight, but I've been feeding and/or pumping since then (either triple feeding or pumping and supplementing [my milk and/or formula - mostly formula]). My supply was also downregulated, largely because he wasn't transferring much from the start and would fall asleep. But I've been removing breast milk consistently since birth. Twice I pumped 2 oz.! I’m using the hospital-grade pump.

His latch has been terrible from the start and my nipples were damaged, so the LC has recommended I use a shield when I need it with t

Hey, y’all. If you use ivermectin for your rosacea, I’d recommend making sure you’re stocked up now.

There’s research being published on use of ivermectin in inhibiting coronavirus sars2 reproduction. When the public gets wind I have little doubt that even the topical will be sold out from suppliers. TBD if it’s going to be an effective treatment. I’m not suggesting hoarding at all, just making sure you have what you need.

Take care. Please keep socially distancing. It really makes a difference. Love, an ICU nurse.

Hi, friends. My brief history: elderly primip. One MMC last year, about 7.5 weeks, discovered a few weeks later. D&C. Currently in my 15th week with a single fetus. Had some spotting, then a bleed, and have two trace subchorionic hemorrhages that no one is worried about (except me, of course). I've had three ultrasounds (after the spotting, bleeds), all with good heart rates, and one doppler with a good rate at 13 weeks. (Three weeks with no scan or doppler is making me anxious but so it goes.) Genetic testing turned out OK (thank God/science etc.)

I'm currently on the midwife service at a teaching hospital. I have the option to switch to the OB service (and could probably switch

Hey, folks. Long-time listener, first-time caller.

I have a small patch of garlic mustard and am harvesting the first- and second-year plants with an overall goal of controlling or eliminating the plant from my property. None of the plants have gone to seed and are just now flowering. I am using the leaves and flowers for pesto and to add flavor to stuff we cook. I have a lot of leftover stems.

State ag extensions and everyone else says never to compost garlic mustard, but based on my research so far, this is because the plant can still go to seed even after it's pulled. But if I'm eating the flowers, do you think I can safely compost the stems? Not a huge deal, but I'm not eager t

Hi, folks. I've searched the archive but haven't found an answer.

tldr: How much of a role does sugar play in keeping canned mango products safe?

A friend has lots and lots of really sweet, ripe mangoes from her tree. Mangoes that are already really sweet. (Pass-me-the-insulin sweet) Her tree is very, very productive, and even after giving mangoes away, her freezers are full. She's desperate to can mangoes to free up a freezer. (She's not into dehydrating right now.)

She's made a canning chutney recipe that is great but is, of course, too sweet. (Probably the one on SimplyRecipes that keeps trying to crash my browser.) She's trying to find canning mango recipes that don't have as m

My father always taught me that showing my wrists was a sin. But my husband told me that forearms are allowed.

Which of these men has the most authority over me?

Hi, folks. I have been searching, without success, for any information on the shutdown of a government health worker program that provided vaccines to rural areas. I'm not sure if the Ministerio de Salud is broken up by departments, but I do know that many villages outside of Barillas (Huehue) have stopped receiving vaccines since March. They report that the program has been suspended.

I'm in the U.S. I've been trying to find information on this shutdown or anything about the government's health promoter network, but between my rusty Spanish (always learning) and my poor internet search skills, no he encontrada nada.

Any links or info, Spanish or English, are what I'm hoping for. G

So glad I have all I need for my Christian faith now.

Hi, folks. Second-season water bath canner here still learning. I'm looking into making this cranberry mustard: http://www.freshpreserving.com/recipes/cranberry-mustard-recipe. It calls for water bath canning into 4 oz. jars

I'd like to try them in 8 oz. jars instead of 4 oz. jars but am aware I need to add extra time for processing if it should be done at all. I've looked at the NCHFP and PickYourOwn websites and not found anything about this, other than different time recommendations for pints and quarts for tomato products.

Can I can this recipe in 8 oz jars? If so, how much more time for processing? (and processing longer screw up the mustard?) I'm at sea level.

Thanks for any

to convert them to gaaaaay so they get their free toaster.
