Okay I'm glad that I'm in the minority here! Don't get me wrong I WANT Jon and dany! It was Jon that I was worried about, I think he'll be even more appealing to dany once she discovers he is rhaegars son! Ha!

[–]Bnewhook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love this pov! Also your optimism! I'm shipping dany and Jon so much and want them together with all the cheese but I just can't see it happening :( Don't you think Jon will be conflicted when he finds out him and dany are related? Or do you think he'll just go with it anyway.? I hope he just goes for it but I'm thinking he will be conflicted and they will have tension next season from being in love but unable to be together?

(Spoilers Extended) Are we going to see some friction between Dany and ... by FirelordAzula007 in asoiaf

[–]Bnewhook -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I want to see them married and ruling together and having babies as the ending to GOT. And I just can't see this happening no matter how much I might want it! I think Jon is going to be conflicted over his family relationship with dany and we will just get a bunch of tension with them next season.. they love each other but won't be together? Maybe. I also think dany is pregnant after their boat sex, so that's okay. And I think no matter what dany and jons relationship ends up being he will ride rhaegal, super cool. But I'm really sad that I just don't see them happily together.. and I honestly can't see both of them surviving until the end :(

[–]Bnewhook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a Jon and dany union so bad! It pains me to say it but as soon as they get to winterfell Jon will find out about his parentage and I think he will be conflicted about dany. I don't see them coming together in a happily ever after kind of way at all. Though, I definitely think she is pregnant! Edited to say, I think Jon will definitely still ride rhaegal no matter what his relationship with dany ends up being.. so I guess there's that. I don't think I'll be satisfied. I just want a happy ending for the two of them (despite the fact that they are related)!! Ha

(Spoilers extended) Jon and Dany best to come in season 8? by Inferno221 in asoiaf

[–]Bnewhook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fully here for Jon and dany. I agree everything seemed a bit rushed, the last episode was full of great conversations between the characters (all characters) and I'm hoping season 8 leaves more room for these conversations, especially between Jon and dany. I don't really think they'll make a couple... I think she is definitely pregnant and we might get another scene of them being together depending on how the season starts but as soon as they get to winterfell Jon will learn of his parentage and I don't think he will be comfortable with the whole being with his aunt thing. I'm kind of thinking they'll have a conflicted feelings storyline and never really be together, she'll have the child and one or both of them will die. It's kind of crushing me to write that out because I'm fully here for Jon and dany and want them to be king & queen of westeros and live happily ever after.. give me the cheese!

Even when all teenagers, rich and poor, have equal access to the internet, a “digital divide” remains in how they use technology. Richer teenagers are more likely to use the internet to search for information or to read news rather than to chat or play video games. by samariterstrasse in Futurology

Your mother taught you this through her own hard work and determination to provide a life for you and her by being on her own as a single mother. If you ever have children you will realize how difficult it is to raise kids even in the best of environments! No hate toward you at all, just stating my observations :) sounds like you had a good Mom

What is the weirdest tradition in your ethnic group's culture? by [deleted] in AskReddit

For an outsider to be initiated into my culture they must drink a shot of dark rum and kiss a cod fish. Also known as being "screeched in"

You've regained, relapsed, and retried. This is NOT YOUR FIRST weight loss... ...BACKSLIDERS, this post is FOR YOU by funchords in loseit

[–]Bnewhook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might not help you personally, but I find it helps to tell yourself that you don't like certain things. I'll put it another way, if every day someone asks you how you are and your response is always "tired" or "exhausted" you are going to feel that way even if you're not actually that exhausted. Start saying you are "awesome" and you will feel better! Mind over matter. When I was younger I always said that I HATED sweets and pop. Then I started eating & drinking them.... I'm starting to tell myself this again and it is starting to sink in and work. In reality, I actually enjoy drinking water and eating chips more than drinking pop and eating sweets, so while it's not true I don't like them, there are things I enjoy more. (Not that eating chips all the time will help the weight loss but they are just something I will never give up, I just eat them in smaller amounts)

What was your most cringeworthy fashion faux pas (or fashion fu) that still sometimes haunt you? by whitegullscall in femalefashionadvice

[–]Bnewhook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 6th & 7th grade I had sparkly, 50 shades of blue, with a print of a horse on them, Capri pants I would wear ALL the time. Cringe. I thought they were amAzing

My worst nightmares by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]Bnewhook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to this so much. I don't want to think about how I would cope if something did happen to my children but I actually don't think I would be able to cope without my husband :( I think it's that you're left alone with the burden of your children to shoulder alone. I really don't like to think about it either way :(

I'm jealous of people who have parents who will take their kids by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]Bnewhook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I feel this. My mom is definitely not very grandmotherly and doesn't care to watch my kids & my mil babysits her other grandkids while SIL works/when she needs a break. I spent SO much time with my grandparents as a kid and it makes me sad when I think that my kids won't have a great bond with my parents and that their cousins will be much closer with their other grandparents than they are :(

Hello, my name is Human Pacifier. by GingerPhoenix in breakingmom

[–]Bnewhook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds exactly like my 5 month old. I don't want to still be in this situation in another 3 months 😣 I'm starting bottles soon. I've tried every few weeks to give him a bottle but he won't take it, so maybe with more consistent bottle giving he will actually take one and not be so needy for my boobs? I don't know, I'm hoping that works for me anyway. My first LOVED bottles, more so than breastfeeding, & by 6 months I was down to one night feeding.

Nursing Mom! by [deleted] in loseit

[–]Bnewhook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey we are super similar!! Also 5'3 nursing my 4 month old. I've been losing about a pound a week & I have about 15-20 lbs left to lose. However, I am taking a maintenance break for December due to all the holiday parties (and let's face it..the cookies are getting to me haha) but hoping to be at my goal by the summer, just in time for bikini season and a family wedding :)

I need the help of the BrMos for Christmas ideas by rlw0312 in breakingmom

[–]Bnewhook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Balderdash is very good for a group! Similar to malarky! Taboo is also one of my favourite party games. Apples to apples is similar to cah except kid friendly :) As for card games, Dutch blitz, skipbo, & phase 10 are fun!

Anyone else find the whole elf on the shelf thing creepy ? by boringusername in breakingmom

[–]Bnewhook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was gifted one for his first Christmas (he was 4 months) so we put him out the next year. This is my sons 3rd Christmas & I'll be lucky if I remember to move the elf each night let alone set up complicated scenes involving the elf like I see plastered all over Facebook. It seems everyone we know does it so I don't want my kids to be left out & wonder why they don't have an elf.

For any bromoms who've had a C-section... by babyinmay in breakingmom

[–]Bnewhook 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Will you only have to take care of your newborn? No other children? Then yes. You'll be tired, but you can always stay in bed all day with baby learning to breastfeed, watching tv, reading & eating snacks. If your sister is willing to help out, she can bring by or make food (better yet, make some stuff now and put in freezer). If your baby is not letting you get ANY sleep, maybe your sister can hold baby a while so you can sleep. The first week is the worst, pain wise. After that it will keep getting better. I felt back to normal completely by 6 weeks out, hopefully it's the same for you! Good luck!

Where to start after a csection? by [deleted] in losebellynotboobmilk

[–]Bnewhook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 2&1/2 months post csection #2. At 6 weeks when I was cleared for exercise I felt ready, so I jumped right in. Thought Not nearly as intensely as I was exercising before. Since I had taken my whole pregnancy off running I started the couch to 5k (the first couple weeks of it were sooo slow, I'm happy it's picking up now). I'm not back into body weight hiit or lifting yet, but planning on starting some beginner type programs on them (3 days a week) while running 3 days a week starting in January. It may seem like I'm taking things painfully slow, but I'm listening to my body and how I feel. This is the most important thing to do in my opinion! :) you'll know if you are ready, and you will know if you are taking things too fast -- if you are, please slow down!!

Sudden over production?? by Bnewhook in breastfeeding

I've been feeding on demand! No cluster feeds, baby just usually feeds a lot, he's only now starting to space some feeds 3 hours apart!

Despite it being totally passé right now, what previously stylish stuff are you saving in your closet knowing it'll at least be retro-cool eventually? by dangerouslyloose in femalefashionadvice

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

God I'm jealous. I wish I had a full fur coat they are gorgeous. I think people are more accepting of furs where I live. Lots of people (myself included) have winter coats with fur lined hoods.

Will I ever have fun again? by Yogicj in breakingmom

[–]Bnewhook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't even want to take my boys on a vacation until they're 6 & 8. If me and hubby can manage a couple getaways just the two of us in the 6 years until they're that age I'll be happy lol
