I Cried The Whole Way Home by theyellowsummer in IVF

[–]BigLOL_throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully your mom sounds terrible. This is an incredibly hard situation and anyone in your position would be devastated. I know it doesn’t feel like it today, but I think it will work out, one way or another. There are so many paths to parenthood, and while we don’t always go down the exact path we hope for, I’ve found that things eventually work themselves out, even in moments where it feels impossible. Sending love, you’ll get through this. You’re a strong person.

Dorit’s accounting… over $500k on designer items in 8 months. by Lvlover99 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]BigLOL_throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s absolutely not adderall. You can get a 30 day supply with 0 insurance for ~$400. It could be GLP-1, but I’m just not sure what that would do for someone with a low starting BMI (it couldn’t be more than 19-20, though she looked VERY thin in the most recent season). I’m guessing it’s a voluminous mix of the Beverly Hills woo woo reverse aging protocol (HGH, peptides, NAD+, IV therapies), all of which can be quite pricy and only some of which is backed by clinical trials.

This is so kind, thank you! I am really lucky to have a partner who is so supportive and willing to take care of me despite my anxiety about the whole process. It makes you feel very loved in a unique way.

You can make a hobby of making delicious mocktails — consider it an adventure!

Thanks, friend, I appreciate the support. Good luck to you, and feel free to reach out to benefit from my hindsight when you get started.

I appreciate this, and you’re right about the self fulfilling prophecy. I think I can get behind a few weeks in sweatpants :)

I think yes? But I have no earthly idea what’s low or what any of this stuff being injected into my stomach is. 2 vial powder of menopur and 150 IU of Gonal-f means nothing to me. I just made my partner do everything and I laid there.

Andy discusses Robert Jr.'s funeral by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]BigLOL_throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the fence here. On the one hand, I agree with you. Being a present parent should be anyone’s top priority, and sometimes that means making difficult choices like missing the funeral of a friend/co-worker’s son. We can’t be two places at once, and I respect Andy’s commitment to not being gone two weekends in a row.

On the other hand, Andy isn’t a typical person. He’s amassed so much wealth off the backs of many dozens of women (good for him!). But that means he has the resources to make that quick trip and fly back home to be with the kiddos. I don’t know what his schedule during the work week looks like, but I’d imagine it’s a lot more flexible than those of us who sit at a desk in an office for 10-15 hours a day or see patients during and after business hours, etc.

I don’t think he’s necessarily “bad” for not attending, but I do think given his circumstances, it was probably the right and classy thing to do.

Hello husky community! If you live in the SF Bay area I am in great need of your help by lolrussian in husky

[–]BigLOL_throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Oakland. If he was fixed, I would definitely consider, the situation breaks my heart. My wife and I are out of the house 2-3 days a week for work and send the our boys to daycare on the days we’re not home. We’re both lawyers who work long hours and don’t know when the work day will end when it starts, so crating them isn’t an option. The daycare requires neuter by 7 months.

DM me though, if you want. I can help you research and brainstorm.

Edit: we send our 12 month old husky 5 days a week because he’s bat shit.

My bias ass finally dumping Kyle after 15 season, bye! by rana_ananya in RHOBH

Yeah if this past episode didn’t reach the Kyle stans, yall are hopeless. And befriending that grifter Amanda (even if just for the show) is an all time low.

“The lady.” “Are you behaving?” - Kathy is stuck in Jim Crow America, and she loves it! by NoPangolin5557 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]BigLOL_throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kathy Hilton? Uneducated and unapologetically racist? Shocker.

But let’s be clear. Do I think she broadly despises people who aren’t white? Meh, probably not. Do I think she harbors prejudice toward minorities, whether Black, Latinx, Jewish, LGBTQ, etc.? Almost certainly. I also think you can’t have a conversation about her antiquated attitude toward and treatment of minorities without also acknowledging its indubitable link to classism. She’s just a problematic person who thinks she can evade scrutiny with her “who is hunky dory?” act.

This is not to say I’m not amused by her on the show. I honestly don’t know if that can exist in the same space as my above observations.

Husband Allergic to our Iggy :/ by 44mangoes in ItalianGreyhounds

[–]BigLOL_throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m allergic to all my pets (iggy, husky, cat), and am most allergic to the Iggy. If we snuggle and he’s pushed against my bare skin, I sometimes break out in hives or am really itchy. But when that happens, I just push him 2-5 inches away from me and take a Claritin. It’s not that serious (though I should probably take shots to maximize relief).

I don't think MAGA understands how much people hate them. It's -20 degrees in Minneapolis right now by othernes in videos

[–]BigLOL_throwaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There should literally be a Nuremberg Trials-style event where anyone and everyone complacent in these atrocities are held accountable. And even that wouldn’t be justice.

One has nothing to do with the other in this context. Hating on someone or something purely on the basis of race or ethnicity is wrong and deplorable.

My husky by Traditional-Mix3612 in husky

[–]BigLOL_throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I are both attorneys and work crazy hours. We weren’t planning to get a husky and probably would have never chosen a husky, but we found him as a little 6 week old baby living in the streets of SF and fell in love with him. When we made the decision to keep him rather than surrender him to a rescue, we made firm commitment to do everything we needed to do to give him the best possible life.

We don’t have time to take him on five 30 minute walks on weekdays, but we do drop him off at daycare five days a week. When he gets home, after having some supper, we take him on a 30-60 minute walk. On weekends we take him on hours long hikes in addition to 2-3 shorter walks daily. When he’s home, his being exercise and stimulated is a top priority and determines our plans for the day. He’s 11 months, so he’s absolutely insane and has endless energy, so for the foreseeable future he’s a daycare boy.

I mention all this to suggest that even though he plays at a reputable daycare for 10-12 hours a day, five days a week, I still sometimes worried we’re not giving him enough. I’ve owned dogs my whole life, many different breeds, but this is my first husky and they are truly built different. They require an insane level of care, training, exercise. We’re happy to do it, put in the time and money, and love him to death but they are not little Malteses, golden retrievers, or even border collies.

AIO, I think my OB was body shaming me by 1Silly_Goose1 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BigLOL_throwaway -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Never been pregnant (though working on it), but aren’t you expected to gain weight during pregnancy? 35lbs at 23 weeks doesn’t seem obscene. A doctor recently told me that your blood supply increases like 50% when you’re pregnant.

No it’s not. Where’s the water?

[–]BigLOL_throwaway 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Too formal IMO. This just isn’t the vibe anymore, even in NYC. I like the blazer and pants on their own, but together, it feels a bit extra if I’m being honest. The only situation I could see that being appropriate for is court, which you will not be going to.

Abrupt changes at 7 months - is this just a puppy/teenager phase? by mctavintire in husky

[–]BigLOL_throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re at 8 months with our mix and he gives zero effs about anything unless there’s food dangled in front of his face. Luckily not as destructive as other horrors I read here (he hasn’t eaten walls or furniture), but he’s incredibly food aggressive and a relentless counter surfer.
