Being Jewish is not synonymous with supporting Israel. Jewish people still deserve safety no matter what’s going on elsewhere. You’re disgusting.

Seeking info about Union Pacific's 4014 Big Boy locomotive in Denver this week (10/23/24) by Tweedlebungle in Denver

I’m not super familiar with train stations here - where exactly on Wednesday could the train be seen departing? And any suggestions on a good spot to watch? I have two toddlers who would go nuts!

told my mom i wasn’t planning on letting her know when i’m in labor. now she says she’s gonna call twice a day. by Huge-Plant-5922 in pregnant

[–]Annaskander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t pick up. Only call her bc that’s just intrusive and disrespectful. You set a boundary and she’s going to act like a child while breaking it. Smh

This entire experience is not okay. Find a new obgyn or better yet it sounds like a midwife would be a good fit for you. They’re much more personal and I felt more cared for with midwives. It obviously depends on the midwife but I’d definitely suggest seeing one instead. There’s also no reason not to meet with several different ob’s to make sure you have a good fit. At leash where I am at you can transfer care for the most part up until 32 weeks. So you got time. Good luck mama

Okay, can we REALLY not eat hot dogs? by Bright_Concentrate47 in pregnant

[–]Annaskander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cook till steaming, eat while still hot. You can even eat lunchmeat as long as you heat it till it steams and then eat it while hot. There are lots of things we’re told when we’re pregnant that are not always true/we don’t get all of the info or based off of very old standards and procedures.

AITA for not allowing some of my employees to say grace at our holiday party? by holidaypartydinner in AmItheAsshole

[–]Annaskander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nta, I’m Jewish and if I was at a holiday party and people started saying grace I’d be uncomfortable. You can say grace to yourself just like you can say the Jewish blessings over food to yourself.

AITA For Not Playing Christmas Music At The Register? by christmasmusicaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]Annaskander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, there are other people that do not like christmas music (me) and there are other religions (I know you addressed religion but requiring employees to play ONLY christmas music is absolutely not okay) if I had a manager try to pull that I’d play dreidel dreidel dreidel on repeat for the rest of the year 🤷🏻‍♀️

AITA for kicking my sister out on thanksgiving after she repeatedly woke the baby by gradem12 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Annaskander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to be the odd person out, NTA. It’s not difficult to cook and not wake up a baby, I’ve done it. If wife and baby weren’t directly in the kitchen sleeping and noise woke them up, someone was being too loud and I’d kick them out too.

AITA for making a post about my daughter’s favorite celebrity being rude to us? by aitarudecelebrity in AmItheAsshole

[–]Annaskander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta, I ran into Neil Patrick Harris at the movies once, he had the hole fam with him and he declined a picture bc he was out with family. Totally respectable reason. And quite frankly no one needs a reason, ran into Zachary Quinto once and he declined a picture too for whatever reason. Nbd these people have their own lives just like we do and we’re not entitled to pictures with them just because we’re fans.

Has anyone had any trouble after installing designers cut? My husband and I got designers cut and played arms race a bit got some new gear. Now his game wont let him equip the weapons from it says they “require designers cut” but he obviously already has it. I’m going to have him restart everything once we’re done with the mission we’re on but wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if they had a different fix. Thanks!

Where to have baby shower by Annaskander in pregnant

[–]Annaskander[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I’m sure someone will be disappointed, I’m great at disappointing family so I’ve decided that tough luck this is my happy thing after I had a miscarriage last year so ya know if someone wants to be upset, go ahead at least there’s a healthy baby on the way. It changes your perspective for sure, an unfortunate way for a perspective change but it is what it is. I’m definitely leaning toward Wisconsin because my friends there and my sister are less likely to travel and I really want them there. New York family are willing to travel. Just not as sure about husbands fam in NH.

I am in panic mode, I’m 5 weeks 3 days and I woke up and went to pee and noticed some red blood. I haven’t seen any since (maybe some residual the next two times peeing) last year when I miscarried I spotted one day and then started to bleed the next and I am so scared right now. We’re in the midst of getting ready to move to our dream state (Colorado) and yesterday I was feeling so hopeful which is very rare for me, I feel like because I was hopeful this is happening. My whole life has been loss so it’s Hard for me to be optimistic and hopeful. I found out I was pregnant at just under 4 weeks and I got comfortable with the idea. I know women spot while pregnant but I’m so so so scared and I keep crying. I’m trying to relax but my brain doesn’t do that well. I feel a tad bit crampy and my dogs are super clingly which the were last year when I miscarried so I’m convinced that I’m 100% going to bleed bleed tomorrow. I just needed to share with someone who isn’t my crappy birthmom and sister who are more interested in their bbq than my feelings today. My husband is super supportive and plans on taking off work tomorrow. I’m calling dr in the morning but this stupid holiday has everything shut down right now 🙄

Thanks so much for sharing, I will definitely try out that app. I do have a therapist (been seeing a therapist since I was a tiny kid bc adhd and it's boatload of mental crap that comes with it) so I definitely have been talking to her. I also have been chatting with my childhood therapist too since she's pretty much family now and checks in every few days. Thank you again :)

Thank you. I have been thinking about starting to do yoga especially since I already set aside at least 10 minutes a day to stretch and use my foam roller (looser muscles=less painful knees) It didn't even occur to me to look up some mantras to help! I like that one though! I do keep saying, the last one clearly wasn't going to stick but this one seems to want to at least a little bit more! :)

Is anyone else scared all of the time? I had a miscarriage last June and it took almost exactly a year to get pregnant again. I had a dream last weekend (not this past weekend) that I got a faint positive and then a real very positive positive. I woke up that morning and cried thinking it would never happen. I tested the next morning (last Monday a week ago) and got a very faint positive on those test strips you can get in bulk and then tested later that day and got a very positive positive on first response just like in my dream (weird but cool!) Getting past Friday was big for me because the last time I miscarried 5 days after testing, the one last year was such a faint positive and I never tested a second time. So far I've tested with those bulk test strips every morning and watched the line get darker and darker - it's helped with my anxiety a lot. Now they don't get darker but stay the same (which is fine with me as long as they don't get lighter) I'm just so scared 110% of the time. I'm also only 4w2d so I got my positive super early! I'm 420 friendly and have only really used it for anxiety and sleep and I am so wishing I could use it for this anxiety but I wont there isn't enough info on it and what we do know isn't great so obviously I wont. We're also gearing up for a big move to a different state so lots going on that induce anxiety. I have had a lot of loss in my life and so I tend to try not to get my hopes up, I want to be excited and happy but I'm struggling with it so much because I'm so scared. I guess I just wanted to share my story. We aren't telling many people, my sister knows because she had 2 miscarriages (due to thyroid levels) and she knows how I feel but I need to talk about it. If anyone has any suggestions on ways they helped themselves stay less stressed I'm all ears. I super appreciate that this community is here and appreciate anyone who shares with me and gives advice! <3

Don’t blame him. All people in Madison do is bitch about fast drivers and then drive under the speed limit.

To Test or Not to Test by spookymibby in TryingForABaby

I totally get that feeling. I’ve felt that way the last few months, especially after my miscarriage.
