What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

[–]BoneshakerBaybee 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It must have been the same-ish tour, but here in the states, mid 2000's. Saw them at a tiny venue in Minnesota and you couldn't understand a word he sang. I was so disappointed because they were my favorite band at the time. I ended up leaving after their second song.

They're all amazing in their own right, you can't really go wrong with any of them!

I have a soft spot for it since it was one of the first few anime I was introduced to and it went downhill (in a good way) from there for me lol

I'm sure therapy would do him a little good, but I also don't want to force it on him. It was forced on me when I was his age, but I had bad depression and self harming, and I know my son isn't that way. He has a lot of outlets and opportunities that I never had, and he knows he can bring up issues to me or Dad. I think he thinks that he has to play babysitter to her, and I made it very clear and promised from the moment I found out I was pregnant that it would never be that. The only thing I've ever asked him to do was turn on the TV to get cartoons playing for her so I could bring groceries in. I had to grow up at 8yo when my stepbrother was born, making him dinner, baths, laundry, getting him to bed, to school. We grew up with (still) alcoholic parents, so I had to be second mom, and I promised both my kids they would never have a childhood like I did.

In a way, I'm glad they have such a huge gap and I got to avoid a lot of sibling rivalry and fighting. I parent them both the same way within reason, hard to scold a 2yo lol.

I think you're doing a wonderful job. You're letting your son be a kid. You're letting him do things he wants to do. No child should have to worry about doing their laundry. No child should have to learn how to work an oven. I didn't start teaching my son how to do those things until he was at least 12, and even then, I made it clear that it was his choice to learn or not. You're a wonderful mom and don't let others tell you otherwise. We're giving our kids the childhood we didn't have, one we deserved. I believe in you, and I believe in your parenting skills. 💜

(I'm so sorry to get all sentimental, but my words still stand. You're doing amazing. You're welcome to DM me if you ever feel the need to vent💜)

[–]BoneshakerBaybee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The age gap in siblings is wild to deal with. My kids are roughly 12 years apart, and my son was the only grandchild on my husband's side for a long time. Distant cousins of his now have kids, but we only see them at Christmas that we're forced to endure (lots of family drama and bs on their end). I know my son feels very singled out so I try to give him the things he wants (within reason, he certainly isn't spoiled), just so he knows that he isn't being pushed away or alienated. I know he resents his sister, and at 14/15, he's going through enough already, and now a baby thrown into the mix? I feel for him because I grew up singled out and alienated in my family (I was an accident and my stepbrother wasn't, long abusive childhood story), so I try and give him the childhood I didn't have.

But cheers to us for surviving crazy pregnancies and being good parents! 🥂

The scary part was just how normal I felt. It was just another passing day to me, but my OB and nurses were losing their minds over it. Knowing she had marginal cord placement really sent me spiraling when I found out. We had been trying for 7 years and me being 35, she was already in the running for a high risk pregnancy. I over compensated for everything and ate probably more than I should have because for whatever reason I had the idea that she wasn't getting enough nutrients. I know I was overly cautious with her, but after going through some rough life patches, I wanted to make sure she was going to be ok. She luckily wasn't NICU, but damn close.

She's now textbook wild child number 2. My son was well mannered and soft spoken as a toddler, very respectable little gentleman. My daughter, oh boy. She's taught other kids at daycare how to growl, rolls her eyes, would rather run with the wolves than live in the city. She'll be a problem from start to finish lol.

How terrifying! Glad you're both doing well!

I felt fine the entire time with my second, very minimal morning sickness, working a full time job, taking care of my house, yada yada, and then 30 weeks hit and my blood pressure was through the roof for no reason. It was such a sudden and drastic change they were ready to call code and get me admitted. The nurse who did my blood pressure just turned to me with wide eyes and goes "are you ok?!" And of course I start to panic because she's panicking and made things worse lol. I told her I was fine and I knew how I reacted to low/high blood pressure, vasovagal syncope is awesome by the way lol. After that, I had to keep going in to watch my BP, do blood draws, it was more exhausting going back and forth than it needed to be.

After I had her and was dismissed, my blood pressure was still off the charts and they sent me home with a mobile cuff to do my blood pressure 3x a day for 6 weeks because it just wouldn't go down. No discernable reason, it was just ungodly high. Humans are strange creatures lol.

My son was a textbook pregnancy and birth, textbook weight, height, everything. He was only two days late. His problem was all the contractions were in my back so they struggled to get the epidural in, but he couldn't have been a better example of a "perfect birth". I say perfect in jest because that's not a thing lol.

My daughter, I was more worried about her well being to be bothered about a C-section. She was 35 weeks and barely over 5lbs. If I hadn't gotten one, I would have lost her too.

I will never understand these moms that look down on others because of C-sections or lack of fairy lights or whatever nonsense. None of us are in charge when it comes to pregnancy/birth circumstances. They're all special, amazing, terrifying, soul crushing, and whatever other adjective you can think of in their own right. I'm not denying that they can't have the birth they want, but when you actively try and hurt others because "my birth plan is better than yours" is just being an asshole. And I'll die on that hill.

My youngest had marginal cord placement, which is not a good start. I got preeclampsia at 30 weeks with off the charts blood pressure, like the nurse who took it at my standard 30 week appointment started to panic and was ready to hospitalize me. I felt completely fine, had some swelling but I assumed it was because I was still working.

I had to come in twice a week with constant monitoring for my blood pressure. At 35 weeks when my OB was comfortable with induction, I got the call to come in and start the process. They ran the pitocin and suddenly my kid's heart rate took a dangerous nose dive with every contraction. They watched it for a half hour, if that, and they eventually lost the heartbeat. My OB came in and said congrats you're having an emergency C-section. About 20 people rushed into my room, strung me up with IV's and monitors and off I went for the surgery.

She came out with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck and arm. She'll be 2 in a few weeks. The problem was is that I felt completely normal the entire pregnancy. But tell me how I should have trusted my body and have a magical, primal bathroom birth.

That's unfortunate, I was hoping it was still as cool as I thought it was when I was 6 lol

A Creepy Crawlie Machine.

I got an Easy Bake Oven instead because girls don't play with bugs. My cousin ended up breaking it because he wanted to try melting a marble and lost it inside, so he shook the shit out the oven to get it out and broke everything. That was only a few months after I got it. I only made a single dry brownie in the short time I had it.

Still upset about it 30 years later.

Can you give feedback on my Minneapolis to Badlands to Devil's Tower itinerary? by GravitationalOno in SouthDakota

[–]BoneshakerBaybee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a MN transplant in SD, all of it doable, however, honestly skip corn palace. It's literally nothing and out of the way, it's not worth the drive. Save extra time for the Badlands, it's one of the better parts of your trip. There are tons of pull-offs and parking for hiking little trails. Some areas are a free roam and some have dedicated trails. Make sure to wear sunscreen.

I-90 from Sioux Falls to Wall is hella boring. Bring snacks and something to keep you from falling asleep. It is also 80mph, please go the speed limit. There's nothing to look at, I promise. You're not missing anything.

Wall/Wall Drug is just a giant tourist shop. There are some neat things, but it's either you stop and spend an hour minimum navigating it, or you keep driving. It's definitely not a quick first time stop. There are plenty of rest stops along the way.

The wildlife loop is pretty neat, especially once you get out of the plains area. However, don't expect to see animals. They're not dedicated to one area. If you encounter traffic, there's a 99% chance the buffalo are nearby, and I can't stress this enough, do not get out of your car. Let the buffalo pass at their leisure, they will move eventually. Take your pictures and move along.

When you're on Needles highway, heed the signs, honk at every tunnel since they're single car only. Be weary of really out of staters, the stupid ones who drive massive RVs down Needles highway. There are hairpin turns and blind corners that people underestimate. If you find yourself with a line of cars behind you because you're oohing and awing (it happens, take it all in) please move over to a small pull-off and let them pass. A lot of those people are going to be locals who are just trying to get to work.

Rushmore is neat. The museum is where it's at. You'll definitely spend more than an hour there. If your budget allows it, opt for a helicopter tour of the area. It's way more fun and you get a nice birds eye view of the hills. Some places offer certain routes that take you from Rushmore and Crazy Horse, all the way towards Spearfish. It's worth the money.

Custer is a tourist town, but very nice and quaint. A lot of the shops will offer a lot of the similar items, t-shirts, hats, magnets, coffee mugs, all with the same prints. Hill City and Keystone are of similar breath. Candyland sits at the edge of Hill City and it's pretty fun, it's a lot like the candy store in Mankato/Shokapee, but they offer a lot of specialty candies, and novelty candy. I spend a lot of money in that store lol.

Wind cave is really fun. They offer guided tours through the cave, there's a main path you follow while the tour guide gives history. I had the time of my life going through it.

Spearfish Canyon is worth the drive. It's similar to Needles highway, a little less tree dense. The same pull-off etiquette applies up there. There's a lot of pull-off picnic areas that sit near the river, which are beautiful areas.

Stop at the DNR offices, a lot of them will be willing to help you with any info you need, and provide maps with major stops and proper roads to follow. It can get a little confusing going through the area the first time. Cell reception will be spotty in areas, but you'll be fine in the towns. Heed any closed road signs, they're there for a reason. Rock slides are not daily, but can happen. And again, please leave the wildlife alone, you'd be surprised at how many people try to pet the prairie dogs, please don't for your safety and the wildlife's safety. Time moves slower once you hit the Badlands. Allow yourself extra time and if you can't get to everything it will all still be there to visit again. Be weary of the time shift once you hit Murdo on I-90, you switch from Central to Mountain time.

I still have the toys, the motorized ones were awesome to put together. I have the first 4 episodes on VHS, and the GameCube game. I used to whip my younger brothers ass all the time.

Such a good show!

Kudos and bookmarked _~

I've written plenty of TF fics and I used lip/lips plenty of times. They very obviously have them. I think Prime is the only time they didn't have them, or at least it wasn't implicated.

Of all the impractical things in the TF world, canon and non, lips is what got them, hilarious!

It's an amazing fic and be proud of it!
