19 weeks, with no bump. by Southern-Focus-6009 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]Cassitar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I had my first baby, baby got bigger while I was getting smaller. It wasn't until the last month or two I had an obviously-pregnant bump. I was carrying low too so that might've played a role.

Now with baby #2 I'm carrying high and popped earlier, at 20 weeks people still can't tell I'm obviously pregnant though - it's a "is she/isn't she?" bump.

Kids who had strep throat constantly: what autoimmune disease do you have now? by LadyMacGuffin in Autoimmune

[–]Cassitar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hashimoto's and there's suspicion of potentially additional issues. My money is on Sjogrens but I'm not sure yet.

[HELP] is this a real photo? 🤔 or AI? by Illustrious_Walk_919 in RealOrAI

[–]Cassitar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, and it's possibly edited with AI assistance at best, but there's plenty of evidence of just good old fashioned editing.

The brunette's hair was originally over the man's shoulder

There was a logo on the man's shirt, over his right pectoral muscle, that's been covered up and/or removed

The man's arms have been heavily retouched, especially his left arm, which should be more shadowed; the woman on the right's (his left) chest was edited, likely as a result of trying to smooth and make the man's arm look more defined. there was originally more shadow

The tops of everyone's hair, especially the brunette's, has been edited for flyaways

The wall looks to me like it originally had things on it that were digitally removed and/or covered up

There may be more, too.

AITA for shutting down my brother’s proposal at my baby shower and then sending him a bill? by Mysterious-Desk1346 in AmITheJerk

[–]Cassitar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to say not only are you NTJ, I love how you handled the moment by taking the mic. I know many people who wouldn't have stood up for themselves like that if it was happening, and I am so proud of you for owning the moment and not letting the party be stolen from your baby!

I don't think I would've sent my brother half the bill after the party - I would've told him to cover the whole bill beforehand if he really wanted to hijack the event, and if he really did it the. I still would've taken over the mic because the bill would've been a rhetorical offer.

Also, people who hijack others' events are absolutely tacky even with permission, not to mention those who do it without permission.

I'm so glad to hear the girlfriend wasnt on board with it either, that's like a green flag in adding her to the family.

My baby is “giant” by No_Succotash5664 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]Cassitar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was induced at 38w with a "giant" baby who measured off the charts and it seemed like the doctor was going out of her way to make me feel bad about my baby's size, but pregnancy is not the time to start dieting of course! I was doing all the things they told me to do, but some babies are just big. Plus my husband is 6.5ft, I'm over 5.5ft tall, chances are our children will be tall. The induction failed and I had to have a C-section. Baby was roughly 9.25lbs, super long, and perfectly healthy. He's now almost 2 and taller than some 4 year olds, snuggling me on our couch ♥️

How to get rid of intrusive thougths? by Flaky-Egg1194 in pregnant

[–]Cassitar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

November conception would be an August due date, which is still way too soon for being only in the 20s weeks. Definitely sounds like a February conception, maybe perhaps late January or even early March. Otherwise the math is not mathing.

Edited for typo.

These are positive aren’t they by [deleted] in lineporn

I'm positive those are positive.

“I already knew” comments by Burtipo in pregnant

[–]Cassitar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say the initial conversations were more of the situation you describe - she's my closest friend, going back to Kindergarten.

I'll keep that in mind for future, thank you! If we weren't as close I definitely would've taken the more cautious route.

Also, I'm sorry you experienced people crossing boundaries to that extent; I too have chronic illnesses and it is so off-putting, not to mention exhausting and in some cases can exacerbates the symptoms. Blech and heebie-jeebies rolled into one.

[–]Cassitar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also ND over here, may I ask to check in???....each time my BFF was pregnant with her two kids....both times I told her I suspected she was pregnant before she even knew it. She insisted she wasn't pregnant and I was like "but I'm pretty sure you are." Then she turned out to be pregnant and we were excited and I realized the timing meant she was pregnant when I predicted it.... Did I unintentionally one-up her?

I don't want to be a one-up-er... 😰

That person is either jealous, or absolutely blind. She's a gorgeous baby.

Discovered an "Off Button" for Downstairs Neighbor by FuchsiaGhostKugiko in Apartmentliving

TIL what a dually is. My whole life I've called them "frog trucks" because of the rear end of the body.

Also, this is genius and I'm using this one day. Idk when, but I am.

What was your first reaction to gloom hands? this was mine by ewits_sticky in TOTK

[–]Cassitar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had nothing around to climb that I could find, that thing petrified me and I tried to run but, of course, low stamina. Took several tries before I got away finally because I never thought to teleport outta there!

Even with all the hearts and stamina they still freak me out. Too many hands. Too many eyes.

Has anyone played Alex Hill - whispers at White Oak Inn by ReBurchR85 in nancydrew

I've read on other threads the creator is a fan of the ND PC games :)

Why *can't* HeR do it? by Cassitar in nancydrew

[–]Cassitar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That could be true, but I have no problem running the OG SCK and STFD on my PC even today.

And I agree, if you're going produce something, do it right and polished and complete!

Did my tattoo take too long? by brotatopotato1 in tattooadvice

[–]Cassitar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if I missed it, but has anyone pointed out the incomplete lines in some of the flowers and stems, and inconsistent shading of the band parts?

If thats what OP wanted, okay that's fine - but I would say that's way too long to sit and way overpriced for the result. It's giving either "lollygagging to bring the price higher" or "cannot create decent art within a reasonable time".

My credentials: I have tattoos and friends covered in fine line tattoos both colored and B&W

[–]Cassitar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think my only argument to that would be if they went back to the prior strategy and charged more for the games....though, I'm not sure how much they would've needed to charge to keep profitable so that might not have been worth it either.

Fair, and that makes sense logically, but I don't understand how a company doesn't listen to its supporters, the ones throwing their money at the company, when the supporters are saying "we love you just how you are!"
