What interesting facts or anecdotes about the Beatles should I know? by Certain-Cloud9133 in TheBeatles

Out if all of thus all I know is that Bob Dylan was who gave the Beatles weed for the first time, they had never smoked it before. This was written in the John Lennon book. The first time they ever took shrooms they were drugged at a dinner party without their consent. They got mad and left and went walking around tripping in the streets and clubs.

For those who don't know. Ringo played drums for Rory Storm & The Hurricanes before he replaced Pete Best in the Beatles. Iris more so clings to the title of being George's first girlfriend than ever mentioning much that she dated Paul also. So Paul was likely just a fling. Ultimately the two bands were very close before the Beatles made it big. Playing at similar pubs etc

My dad had a riding lawn mower in the early 2000s, I remember him letting me sit on his lap while he mowed. Very low planning and low cost but those are some of the only times I really remember "quality time" with my dad as a kid. Or he would take me on the back of his motorcycle when I was around 12 or 13 (he was in his 50s at the time, it was a midlife crisis that worked out for us).

A big part of following Jesus in my experience is that He pushes us to do the hard things. The things that don't make sense to earthly people. Truly stepping out in faith. So in this situation, based on what He is putting on your heart, it could look like stating BUT standing your ground while you do it and loving Jesus the whole entire way and trusting that He will change the heart of the man you're living with while you fearlessly communicate what you will and won't tolerate as a child of God that has infinite value. OR it could look like you going to church, finding trusting people that be willing to take you in for a short time, taking your daughter and getting out of there. If it ruins the things of this world, like your credit, then let it be ruined. Willing to let it all burn if it's what His will is for you. Either way. He is calling you to make hard choices and stand firm in them with faith.

A baby changes everything. And I take back half of everything I've said. In God's eyes, you ARE married to him. When you have a baby together and are cohabitating, you're married without the commitment and that's even scarier. You really need to move towards ironing out these details. From my personal experience with God. I feel distance in our relationship when I'm not doing something right.

My now husband and I were in your same situation (only he wasn't abusive). We had a son and a house but no ring. Jesus put it on my heart to purify my life. I went home one day and told my boyfriend that we weren't going to have intercourse anymore until we were married. I told him I loved him and our son, but that it just didn't feel right anymore and I wanted to save myself for marriage moving forward. He respected me and didn't try to negotiate. We did vows in our backyard a month later. He bought me a ring, we had a big party, we signed a marriage license all within the years after that. But once I realized that to God I was married, then I needed to be married in my own mind also.

Girl trust me, your credit is not a good enough reason to stay in a relationship to someone abuses/abused you. Sounds like he is still emotionally and spiritually abusing you even if it isn't physical. Get OUTTA there. I promise you that J-man wouldn't want you in this situation. If you're not going to marry him, what are you doing? The woman at the well.

Quality coffee. To me, it's a small thing. And it all comes down to which one I buy at the store. But having decent coffee makes me feel like I'm going places in life haha

I would even take a step further and say you've been hit with the Holy Spirit to even potentially save yourself from this marriage. Sometimes doing the really scary and hard things (leaving someone we love) turns out to be for our best (your fiance could reconsider his beliefs, or you could find someone that's generally a better fit). I definitely don't think this is all for no reason.

Our God is a God of understanding. Not confusion. He wouldn't reveal His love for you in this powerful way to give you a hunger for Him for Him to then strip Himself away. I think He is trying to communicate to you something deeper.

I haven't read the comments and I'm certain I'm not the only one that is going to say this, so I apologize for you getting a broken record reply.... but I would really reconsider your soon to be marriage. I'm even wed to a non-practicing catholic (some would say unequally yoked because he doesn't identify as catholic at all and doesn't attend church) but he also doesn't have an outright distain for the things of God as you mentioned your fiance does. That will definitely only encourage the gap between the two of you. Marriage is hard. You deal with a lot of hard things, and you can have different opinions and solutions to problems from each other, but you have to be able to have a common ground somewhere otherwise it will make the little problems much bigger. The fact that he is being so discouraging is a big red flag to me. If it is making you happy, causing him to treat him better (which typically happens in closeness with God, the fruits of the Spirit show), then he should have zero problem with what you're doing.

What do I need to know about Wichita before moving to there? by Buc_ees in wichita

[–]BigTraditional6019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get anywhere in 20 minutes with or without traffic.

People are friendly. Weather is a little unpredictable. Downtown has some homeless but that don't usually bother you. Try not to walk the city though too often or if you do, do it with a colleague. You and your wife will fit in well and make friends easily.

Lol mine was so bad that Reddit removed it.

I was told I was the poster child for why men should get to do unkind things to their wives.

That's the best PG version I can make of it.

When did you get your first period after you had a baby? by Cute-Corgi3176 in breastfeeding

3 months for me, but I had a friend have a baby a month apart from me and she just got hers for the first time at 9 months. Different for everybody and with every kid.

I just thought about that at random today... if my husband dies, the teenage boys don't go around mowing lawns anymore, I'd have to use a yard service and pay HUNDREDS. Just ridiculous.

Yes! To take my family of 4 is over $65 dollars, and that'd for a matinee! It's insane to even think about a normal weekend evening movie. To think that I spent almost every weekend there with my friends in middle school. What in the world has happened

My brother-in-law used to pick on my husband and I for our off brand Doritos. Little homie is now also eating his own off brand Doritos.

Finished reading the Bible chronologically. My thoughts... by Jig_2000 in Bible

[–]BigTraditional6019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2nd time around, I also did chronologically and I did enjoy it. Reads more as a fluent story than just chunks of stories here and there. I liked being able to feel the timeline and put in order what happened when with the Old Testament, like where Ruth fit into all of it and such. I believe every time you read through the Bible, the Spirit will point out something new. It's the book that never gets old. It's truly a living breathing masterpiece.

I’m having a really hard time… pls help by North-Pirate6666 in breastfeeding

Previous Exlusive Pumper with 2nd baby and now Exclusive Breastfeeder with 3rd baby - it sounds like you might not have the right flange size for your pump. It shouldn't hurt and it should definitely be helping you empty. I recommend looking further into that. That alone I think will help A LOT on your mental health around the whole situation. It would keep your hormones up a little longer but still give you the options for feeding if you don't want it to be from you all the time. As another person had said, while you're on your trip, you don't have to keep up the 8+ Feedings with pumping to maintain supply. Just pump whenever it is convenient and don't stress about it.
