The driver might have had basic training on how to handle an unexpectedly fast birth. (One of my relatives delivered in her vehicle due to a traffic back up.)
Related note- rightatthismoment there's a legal battle raging in the US over birthing at home. I don't want to do a thread on it here due to the potential for fights and flaming, but yes, the businesss of birth still matters much!!!

Just came back from making a sex tape in my car (just me and a dildo) but, during the video, a guy made eye contact with me, strolled slow as hell behind my car, and stayed a bit of a ways off - I think so his dog could pee. As I wanted for him to leave my iPad battery notification started going off. Just great.
I had to fake an orgasm by dipping my dildo in coconut oil for the creamy coochie look and get the hell outta there. This should be a fun one to edit smh.

Place the recommended daily amount in a small jar so I'll be certain not to take more.
Forget that and take from the bottle anyway.

I had a doctor appointment last week and my BP is high. The headaches/dizziness didn't start to get noticeable until a couple days later. They're taking their time with the test results. Wish I'd asked for a lithium level. It's very hot and I may have overexerted myself, leading to lithium toxicity.

I have something similar for my daily meds, which I am extremely cautious about. For the Tylenol, I've started putting the recommended daily amount in a separate container and stuffing the bottle way back in the shelf so I don't grab it absentmindedly.

Glad you went - high BP can cause the symptoms you mention. I don't know much about lithium toxicity but lowering BP is a good plan all around.

I write down any pills I take, even aspirin or cold meds, on a piece of paper on the counter next to the bottle. Include the number of pills taken and the time in dark ink for easy viewing. Keep the pen next to the paper. When a person is ill sometimes we need help remembering. Take care, hope you're OK.

I’m starting to understand something. I was at a friend’s place earlier, and I looked at the catalogs she kept. Victoria’s Secret, various clothing and home goods catalogs, etc. You go to my place, it’s quite different… Snap-On Tools, NAPA, Grainger, Harbor Freight, et. al.
They have calendars about kittens and picturesque landscapes; I have calendars about Caterpillar construction equipment and Kenworth trucks.
I was always dismissive when they asked why I can’t be into ‘normal’ things. I understand their disposition a little better now. It’s not that this is the career path I sought out - I’d have never ended up here on my own without the mitigating factors which led me here. But, it’s where circumstance led me, starting back when I was 18, newly arrived in North Carolina, and working at Kohl’s wasn’t doing it for me. So my roommate was able to find a way to translate my experience with farm equipment into something relevant to operating construction equipment, and here we are now.

IMO it's a polite way of pointing out "YOU COME OFF LIKE YOU ARE A LESBIAN- YOU WILL NEVER GET MARRIED IF YOU DO NOT CHANGE THIS"
American men are still phobic about having to go buy tampons, menstrual pads or douche for women in their lives- they tend to "steer clear" of women who seem to favor other women sexually. I guess the term for that would be "no go zone."

I was sitting outside and noticed this huge crow in the neighbor's driveway eating what looked like part of a sandwich partially wrapped in plastic. He was making all kinds of noise but managed to separate the sandwich from the plastic. He ate the sandwich and was still making noise, tearing at the plastic wrapping. I was eating crackers so I threw one in his direction. He grabbed it and flew off with it. I heard more bird noises a couple minutes later and thought he was back but when I looked up, there was a dang Falcon sitting on the light post. A lot of big birds have been hanging around lately. They must be after the chipmunks.

Well, least of my concerns for now, and for a while. I have three teenage girls living here, and even with them being pretty self sufficient, it’s still a lot of emotional labor. Not that I ever doubted it, but I do get those Hallmark-esque moments where they drive the point home that they’re absolutely worth it, though. Like what they decided they wanted to do when I told them I had quite a bit of my radio stipend left over because I bought the inexpensive BaoFeng radio rather than the Motorola the guys tend to buy because it makes them feel “operator as fuck” or whatever and I’d decided I wanted to spend it to treat them.

I didn’t realize this at first, but that is kinda odd to find one who doesn’t do this. My former roommate I talk about so much never gave it a second thought if he was ever asked to do this, but he’s not really ‘normal people’, either. So when friends, acquaintances, etc. would complain about that, it took a minute to click that it’s apparently something the “normal” guys get squeamish about.

On this, I disagree. My ‘refugee’ was thrown out of her home after coming out as a lesbian, and my 6’1” friend who used to wrestle semi-pro and was also the one that had the ankle monitor is bisexual but seems to favor women generally.
The latter isn’t avoided for who she favors; she’s avoided because she’s pretty fucking intimidating. My ‘refugee’ comes across as much more traditionally feminine, and if she tells anyone she’s a lesbian, they get all hot and horny and fetishize it 20 different ways. I’ve heard some of the things said to her.
From what I’ve seen, it’s women to tend to be more fearful of my ‘refugee’ (in spite of her not being in any way imposing). Yet, five other girls and women in this house, and she’s not running around like a dog in heat. Had it been a 17 year-old guy in her place, I’d have probably ended up having to bury him in the backyard and telling everyone he ran off to join the circus.

To an extent. I had one from Bendix. Air brake components aren’t really all that fascinating. Except apparently to the Irish woman, who was baffled as to how they work and was actually irritated when it wasn’t making sense to her looking at the images in the calendar.
I probably didn’t help my case any with the calendars my Snap-On dealer gave away. I noticed he gave one to everybody in the shop but me, so I asked why and he got shifty about it. So I asked him for a calendar and he tried telling me had none. So I told him that was bullshit because I could see a whole stack of them. So he relented and handed me one… it was topless women. Well, since I raised a fuss about it, there was no way I wasn’t going to keep it. So I hung it up inside the hutch on my large toolbox, and now I’ll be greeted by “Amelia” and her tits for the remainder of this month, and I forgot who October is, except I remember she was quite well stacked.

It did seem strange the first time she did it, but in a good way. I had told her after the night we first met and hit it off that I could still smell her when I got home. Next time I saw her she did it (the first time).
She's a strange one*, but there's a big mutual attraction. Magnetic. The eyes thing.

I went to my doctor's appointment Monday and found a note on the door saying she wasn't in. Not troubling; everyone has emergencies. Didn't hear anything for the next two days. She would definitely have sent a text by now. I thought maybe she had a death in the family and had to fly home on sudden notice. Nothing today, either. I tried Google to see if I could find anything and I did... in the county jail roster. Holy fuck. What's really weird is that her name is the only one of maybe 150 that has no charging info and returns a server error.
Not sure what I'm supposed to do now. I think I have refills on my meds so I should be okay there. But I also recently lost my GP who I could count on for further refills if necessary.

It doesn't necessarily mean she is guilty of anything. The way charges are processed in the US makes every case look serious but sometimes charges are dropped as they are proven incorrect. (Source- myself and friends have dealt with the system.)

I was hoping it was something minor, maybe some kind of misunderstanding. But it is VERY out of character to miss an appointment and not contact me all week. Worst case scenario, what are my chances of finding another psychiatrist that I like and is a) accepting new clients soon b) nearby c) affordable?
I have deeply serious trust issues with doctors, especially since the last one turned out not to be an actual doctor, but I liked this one. I'm hoping there's some explanation and I'll hear from her soon, but I'm getting worried here.
And my cat had a health scare so it's been a stressful week.

There's a form on the website, but I'm not sure I want to fill it out. I don't know if my request goes on the public record, which she might see.
Just made the trip to her office to see if someone had updated the notice that was left on the door, but it was gone. Not sure if that's good or bad.
As much as I'd like to think there's going to be a perfect explanation for everything, this is still a pretty serious thing.

Prepared to engage Emergency Plan. Have appointment with new PA who will hopefully refill prescriptions. Check med stockpile, which I learned to keep after my last doctor disaster. Have enough to last a while. Narrow down new doctor possibilities to two long shots. Panic when I realize how much a session will cost if they don't take my insurance. Consider making the two hour drive to Seattle or Portland...
Remember how I drove past four or five other dentists on the way to my last dentist appointment and wonder why it's nearly impossible to find a doctor for what could literally be a life or death situation.
Then she calls. Just now. I have an appointment for next week, the last before she goes on "vacation" until October. Hmm... Guess I'll see how it goes. She would have to be actually convicted of murder before I'd trust her less than my last two psychiatrists. But I have to fault her for not having her own Emergency Plan. A robocall, an e-mail list... something. I'm managing right now, but what if I'd been in the shape I was three years ago? She has other patients; I wonder about them.
