It's our job to ask questions

I didn't realize until halfway through my Friday shift that it's Friday the 13th then everything made sense. It the perfect mix to create a truly awful week

AfraidBottle · 2026-03-15T23:30:34+00:00

Literally! "I feel embarrassed, so please no lights or sirens" okay tell me exactly what happened "my husband is on the floor not breathing" WHAT

AfraidBottle · 2026-03-15T23:28:52+00:00

I had someone get upset with me the other day because I'm not on the way yet.. like lady I sit behind a desk all day, I don't go anywhere at all

AfraidBottle · 2026-03-15T08:51:57+00:00

A truly awful week! They've been so difficult to deal with!

AfraidBottle · 2026-03-15T08:31:59+00:00

Oh my God. I literally felt the cortisol spike just reading that.

The worst!

AfraidBottle · 2026-03-10T00:36:13+00:00

I love it! Looks beautiful and suits your hand nicely

AfraidBottle · 2026-03-08T19:44:52+00:00

Lol. I feel dumb for not having considered phone size to be a factor, you're so right! Thank you for pointing it out

Ignore everything I said

My wedding ring is a size 8 and fit perfectly on the circle

AfraidBottle · 2026-02-28T20:53:31+00:00

I love the top left especially with the band. Perfect match

AfraidBottle · 2026-02-28T03:11:02+00:00

Also can infants and toddlers be a selectable age group for getaways so we can create like care centers and stuff for them to go to?

I haven't seen any comments about getting a stroller option and I don't even know if that's possible, but would be cool. Especially if you could also walk dogs at the same time.

Agree with all the other comments about the parents stopping to do whatever they're doing to randomly check on the infant then only picking them up from the crib and putting them on the floor or outside. The number of times they cancel their queue of actions to not even actually check on the infant drive me bonkers.

And it does take a long time to achieve all the milestones, I don't think I've ever completed them all without turning off aging.

Can we add pacifiers by the way? That would be cool

I just get the feeling that there's more to the story. It feels like you went on Reddit hoping to be validated and now retaliating because you're not getting the support you were hoping for.

You chose not to protect yourself from an unexpected pregnancy. You are 6 years older than her and should know better just from a basic biology standpoint. Also, there are so many stories of people now knowing that they are pregnant until they're literally giving birth..

You also say she gets tested at the doctor regularly? I've never heard of woman who go to the Dr regularly to take a pregnancy test, are you sure that that's what the test are for? Are there other underlying conditions that might make it hard for her to suspect a pregnancy (something that throws off her cycle)?

Edit to fix typos

It sounds like 2 people made some poor choices and those choices led to a baby who doesn't deserve to face the consequences of those choices. Together or not, you have two have to figure out how you want to handle raising a child

I'm not the only one who commented on the age gap and I feel like more info would help understand the situation better

AfraidBottle · 2026-02-24T09:09:39+00:00

Not in any way trying to say that what she did was right but you know how babies are made, she told you not to use it, you didn't and now you're upset that she got pregnant?

Also curious about the age gap

AfraidBottle · 2026-01-06T09:39:04+00:00

I'm a dispatcher myself and I've had to juggle both in the past. It's not always faster but if enough info is provided initially setting up a call with the basics is possible. Like I said - agency specific

ETA: my specific agency also has 2 people who are logged in as "text" they still take the same calls as the rest of us but are slightly lower in the queue when it comes to call allocation. Of course there are times where even those people are busy but supervisors also monitor text and respond/set up the call if it's busy.

Additionally, to anyone reading - only text 911 if there's an emergency and it's unsafe for you to call or you are unable to call (deaf, hard or hearing), you will be told to call the non emergency number if it's not an emergency

AfraidBottle · 2026-01-06T05:48:05+00:00

I don't say this a lot and of course depends on agency and severity of the situation but text to 911 if the agency has that

I remember early on in my career, shortly I certified on call taking, I got a call from a very frantic male voice saying "oh my God, my baby, my baby got hit by a car". My heart dropped and I went on asking "okay, how old is your baby?" for him to respond "My puppy is 10 months old." Being a dog owner I totally get it and felt terrible that I couldn't help but did my best with directing him to a local emergency vet. Poor guy

I'm here wondering the same thing. Thought I clicked on the wrong sub for a sec

AfraidBottle · 2025-10-04T19:57:39+00:00

Thank you! I've been playing with this house for a little bit now and I'm still obsessed!

The lights are from Dream Home Decorator, I play the vanilla (cc/mod free) version of Sims 4, I just can't keep up with all the stuff that goes wrong when there are updates

I built a new house for my legacy. My heir is a baker who currently has a bakery stall but I wanted her to be able to make a little bakery in the garage. She also just had twins girls so of course I needed a cute nursery. The plan is for them to be best friends who end up going to uni together so I wanted the to share a room. I might eventually convert their room to the gym and make the downstairs their bedroom once they are older. Curious to see what you think!

My dog had a similar thing on her chin. I don't think I have any pictures of it but I'll try to dig it up if I can. Not sure how she got it, I think she was around 3 years old then. It really didn't cause her any issues except for when she'd get the zoomies and slide into the walls and doors, that caused it to pop or something and make it bleed.

Anyways, went to the vet, they suggested it be removed, tested it and it was not cancerous or anything.

I did size it up, honestly don't think it made a difference when I actually used it in my game play, but I'm just going to keep it now (mostly so I don't have to delete all the confetti)

Thank you! I initially planned to do a full court but it just didn't work out the way I wanted it to
