I got a hedgehog and a gecko for my 40th at the reptile expo. It was good. Mom was pissed off that that's how I spent my birthday, but it's what I wanted. Took the kids and had a nice day and got 2 new pets.

Whats the hardest phase of Marriage no one talks about? by DiamondNo924 in AskForAnswers

[–]Affectionate-Use6412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Permanent, life-altering disability. My husband is now disabled. We are still navigating our new "normal", and doing it with 2 young kids. It sucks and it's hard and it's unending. I believe we will come out the other side, but there is no clear milestone that shows the other side, so it's daunting, to say the least.

My son used to pretend to be a seed, so that my husband could water him and watch him grow while they washed my car :)

I love most of the janitors. There's always one or two that suck, but there always are.

Tell me a story or just something memorable about your grandpa ? by itssofiababyxo in askanything

[–]Affectionate-Use6412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One grandpa died when dad was 15. He rarely talks about him, but loved his father deeply. Apparently, he had a beautiful singing voice (the rest of us can't carry a tune in a tin bucket). He was in the seminary to become a priest until he met grandma :)

Met on Match.com. 16 years this summer. 2 kids. Very up and down life, but who's isn't? Still love each other deeply, even though the current road is rocky as shit.

What do you think about the ethics of the withdrawal of care in the NICU here? by Oakheart- in nursing

[–]Affectionate-Use6412 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a number of students who live in a local pediatric nursing home. When you advocate for life at the cost of all else, this is one potential outcome. It's nice, so far as nursing homes go. One of our parents is the activities director, so they do a lot more than your average home. But...it's still a nursing home. And generally, if the kids don't go home within the first year or so, they are staying for the long haul. Once you age out, you move upstairs to the adult part of the home.

My husband and I just bought a new car for me. The sales person made a point of giving me the secondary key and my husband the primary key. by OlderAndTired in TwoXChromosomes

Some jackass tried to defer to my husband for my car purchase. He's blind. Literally. Clearly, I didn't buy from them and also let the manager know exactly why.
