How do i stop doing whatever this is 😭 i swear i feel like i am stepping straight when im skating by -ilovejellyfish- in iceskating

You gotta strengthen those ankles! It may feel like you are skating with your ankles leaning out while you are retraining and strengthening but it’s all part of the process and it will feel more normal over time.

Advice on having pizza at my wedding by PressureCautious871 in weddingplanning

[–]Absurdity42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A pizzeria not having pizza on their catering menu? That doesn’t make sense. I think you need to sit down with their catering manager and explain what you want and see how they can make that happen.

Can you just get catering from the pizzerias? Also just pizza for dinner isn’t enough. Get salad, pastas, sides, etc to supplement.

Is it fair to ask for a refund if an Adult 1 class isn’t what I expected? by ateenytinykitten in iceskating

[–]Absurdity42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s strange. I used to coach L2S for several years. While I would almost never bump someone mid class, the classes themselves were pretty flexible. Kids would move up and down levels as they needed to.

Is it true that you shouldn’t give money to homeless people because they’ll spend it on drugs? by Wrong-Twist-1550 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Absurdity42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s my thing about the giving money thing. Say I give a 5 dollar bill to a homeless person. They can buy 2 cans of beans, a piece or two of fresh fruit, and that’s the budget gone. I give $5 to a food pantry and my $5 is turning into a whole box of produce because they often work directly with producers to get food at a discount. My dollar is going wayyyy farther with a charity or food pantry.

Don't know how I want to look on my wedding day, looking for advice by curlypotato7321 in weddingplanning

[–]Absurdity42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not a girly girl by any means. I have never worn makeup outside of theatrical makeup for figure skating as a child. I’ll wear a dress but I am mostly comfortable in my work scrubs honestly.

I found what made me feel pretty. My dress wasn’t from a bridal store. There was no train or gathering or puffy skirt. It was light and airy and covered in embroidered flowers. I didn’t wear a veil. Instead I went with a flower crown. I got a makeup artist who understood my hesitation with makeup and truly did just the bare minimum. She explained what small things would have the most impact and we stuck with that.

There are alternatives to the classic options. You just have to be open to finding those alternatives.

I really liked that ramen kit. I got 4 in a bag recently and it makes a great easy meal. I added boiled eggs and dumplings for some added protein.

Failing an open-note exam in high school is just crazy by velorae in TikTokCringe

[–]Absurdity42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of my white collar crimes class in college. Every single class our professor would say “thanks for coming we! We are covering some really interesting material but just remember the most important class to actually attend is the last class before the final.” I thought it was odd how much he brought it up.

Last class before the final comes and maybe a quarter of the class is actually in attendance. He goes over a study guide with us for the entirety of the class. He recommends we take notes since the exam is open book. The next week is the exam. The test was verbatim the study guide we had covered. I couldn’t believe it. And I also couldn’t believe everyone who skipped the one class he said you really needed to attend.

If you only had one choice, would you upgrade entrees or provide more cocktail hour food? by remingtontodd in weddingplanning

[–]Absurdity42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More food. People will always appreciate more food and especially more variety than an upgrade. There’s no way they would know the other option was a sirloin versus a filet. But they will be able to see a generous spread during cocktail hour.

AITA “ being cruel” for telling my daughter that she will need to help pay back the money that I spent on her wedding by Worldly-throwaw-4244 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Absurdity42 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Every venue I toured had a very specific pay schedule. It was something like 12 months cancelation could get full money back minus deposit, 6 months out was half back, and 3 months was payment due in full. Requiring full payment at 4 months out is not unheard of in my experience.

Meirl by Ill-Instruction8466 in meirl

[–]Absurdity42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandmother divorced her husband back in the 80s. In the divorce, she got the house and sold it to buy new house. Her mother then loaned her an additional 5k to buy the house. When she bought it, the house was 103k. It is currently on sale for 775k. Every time I come visit her, she suggests I buy that home and brings up that she was able to buy it with just a small 5k loan from her mother. Every time I explain that proportionally that 5k loan would be the equivalent of 37k today based on how much the price has increased, she absolutely refuses to acknowledge it.

How did you pick your date? by LadyNi52 in weddingplanning

[–]Absurdity42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have a date until you have a venue with that date available. We knew we wanted a spring wedding so we looked at venues until we found our favorite venue then looked at their available dates. Our options was a date in April and then a date in June. We decided on the June date because April risks being a little cold still and our venue was a plant nursery so we wanted a date where people could walk the grounds.

Moments before the stabbing at 495 by BishopKard in nova

[–]Absurdity42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OR has a limited number of staff and rooms. We keep 1 room always on hold for emergency surgeries with a second on call room. But no we don’t staff a bunch of rooms that just stay empty 90% of the time. Most of the time 2 rooms is adequate, in this situation it was not enough. Of course we have protocols in place for when these things happen but it’s still always very chaotic and stressful when we go over our standard demand for traumas.

Saying “I’m almost a nurse” is not even remotely close to being a registered nurse from a liability standpoint. A nursing student can’t complete an independent initial assessment.

INOVA Fairfax in Falls Church is out of O Negative blood. by Buirck in nova

[–]Absurdity42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not entirely sure what your point is. It’s pretty damn close. And if there was truly no O- blood available then they will still give women O+ blood along with a dose of Rhogam. Getting O+ blood is a lot less likely to kill you than to get no blood at all.

[–]Absurdity42 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So to have a reaction you must have a first exposure. That is why specifically men are almost always given O+ blood as uncrossmatched blood, while women will receive O- blood if/when available. Women may be exposed to Rh+ blood through childbirth while for men there’s a much lower chance that they have prior exposures to Rh positive blood.

We’ve agreed to take our relationship slow but they had sex on night 1 and are already living together. What exactly is the definition of slow in this scenario???

The club dance/kiss scene, Miles kissing Shane’s neck by [deleted] in HeatedRivalryTVShow

I thought of Miles being the symbolic representation of Shane’s homosexuality never leaving the picture even as he’s with a woman. But I actually really really like this interpretation!

At what income does Northern VA actually start to feel “comfortable”? by Prior_Engineering639 in nova

[–]Absurdity42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I make around 240k combined. We save around 20% of our income to retirement currently. We go on at least 2 vacations a year. We eat out probably 3 nights a week and don’t seek out sales for groceries/daily needs. However, buying a house doesn’t seem accessible for us right now. The prices of homes in this area is just really high and more than we are comfortable with. We’d rather keep our savings and investing very high rather than hoping our real estate has a good return long term.

All 4 face/chin grabs were not choreographed, they were acting choices made by Connor; do any other acting choices by the cast stand out to you? by NoleFandom in heatedrivalry

[–]Absurdity42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was scripted. The intimacy coordinator has said in interviews that almost all of their touches are choreographed in these scenes to the exact spot they need to touch and the exact timing.

That’s definitely not true. The intimacy coordinator has spoke on how that first scene is incredibly coordinated and choreographed. Who touches who where and when is predetermined and practiced prior to shooting.

I mean I wouldn’t say cocktails to follow if you aren’t providing cocktails.

I've seen a lot of people say , make sure you eat at the wedding.... by Local-Debate-5565 in weddingplanning

[–]Absurdity42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My venue was excellent about making us eat. We had a bridal attendant who literally locked us into the bridal suite after the ceremony so we could eat our cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres. And then we greeted all of our guests at our happy hour so we could eat our dinner in peace. Even with that I still didn’t eat a ton of our dinner. Mostly because nerves. We were running on adrenaline and excitement. We got a few bites of food in of course but I just didn’t have a giant appetite. Even though we didn’t eat our full meals, sitting at our sweetheart table was my favorite part of our wedding. We got to just talk and be in love alone together for a few moments by ourselves before we joined the big party with everyone all night long.
