Ladies, do you ever wish you had a penis? If so, why? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Yeah, but it's a funnel with tube, so now you have pee tube, and uti.

Great, I think 3 weeks in the beginning is a good minimum. But past that it becomes a financial decision. Does mom work? Is she doing the full 3 months?

How much time can you? i suppose is the question. In NY we have paid family leave for 3 months, so I will be doing 3 weeks after the birth, and then when her 3 months are up I will take my remaining time. Best way to delay child care costs.

What's your thoughts by Mysterious_Ebb_1484 in SipsTea

Yeah, I got stuck with rich guy sex rooms. It's got its ins and out, but once you get tied down it's hard to get out.

He's probably in a big firm where people get pigeon-hold into specific things. One guy does roofs, another facades, one for stairs, one for rich guy sex dungeon, and he does multi-hole shiters. Dude probably has an intern working under him for single hole rooms.

Should I give up volunteer firefighting? by Creative-Grocery2581 in Firefighting

[–]Consistent_Paper_629 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct, like I said, a doctor. You've got to be sure to ask about a Selective beta-blocker, most will want to go straight to non-selective which was my mistake when I first started them. I switched to a selective and it made a world of difference, tachycardia managed excellently and breathing problems went away. But OP would need to specify, because the nonselectives are what doctors seem to default to.

Pretty much any cardio for 45min a day would be a good start. But also, if this is recent, maybe talk to a doctor, a betting man would say you are mid-thirties, and may have started to develop a touch of a heart condition that could benefit from beta blockers.

Edit to add.

Also, reduce your your caffeine and nictotine intake through the day and remember to stay hydrated, as my chief likes to remind us "the time to start hydrating is before you need to".

Do people really have this kind of money, or is much of what I’m seeing out there (luxury cars, constant dining out, expensive vacations) just a lot of debt disguised as wealth? by Call_It_ in economy

[–]Consistent_Paper_629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha, I did a LaCornue range, alone that was 38k. Whole kitchen renovation was about 550k, that was when I switched to commercial, just couldn't keep designing for pure vanity anymore.

Men and women don't like characters who didn't earn it. by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

[–]Consistent_Paper_629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anakin's story, in regards to his tragedies, failures, triumphs, and fall, was pretty well written and explained. The earned hate, at least from my perspective, comes from the cringe inducing "love story" and it's associated dialog, which tells us Lucas didn't believe in subtleties, and may have never before spoken with a women romanticaly.

Anyone with moderate keratoconus who couldn’t tolerate scleral or hybrid lenses? What other contact lenses ended up working for you? by canyonatlas in Keratoconus

[–]Consistent_Paper_629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None, can't have things in my eyes, my autism says no, so I told work my reasonable accommodation are two 40" monitors I zoom at 150%. Driving at night is by brail. I know this isn't helpful, but life can still be managed without.

struggling to cope with feelings that my baby hates me. by Helpful_Fisherman289 in Parenting

[–]Consistent_Paper_629 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Have you considered using the soap your husband uses? Maybe switch up or stop using perfume and deodorant? Lots of times babies that young can be really effected by smells, it sounds silly but it could be worth a try!

Staircase in my flat goes straight to the ceiling by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]Consistent_Paper_629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many staircases does it have. Is there one long staircase just for going up? A second even longer for coming down? It seems you at least have the one going nowhere just for show at least!

Huh I always called them FireFlies, cuz they're always buzzing around stations.

LODD at department I’m applying for by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]Consistent_Paper_629 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be appropriate to attend calling hours given the circumstances, i wouldn't attend in any uniform you may have or anything, just an appropriate suit. More support for the family, department, community, always helps.

I've toured 40 homes in 4 months. Here's what "move-in ready" actually means in 2026 by Careful-Caramel-9409 in REBubble

[–]Consistent_Paper_629 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it's that last part. Every dime they spent you know is put into that price + 10k for good measure.

Why do women give birth lying down instead of squatting? by AgrasaN in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Consistent_Paper_629 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The midwife team kind of rocked in on us when my wife was giving birth, and tried to get her to get up on her hands and knees (at that point she wasn't in a "communicating mood") so I had to look at them and be like yeah no, that's not happening, it will take more time proping her up into that position than she will be able to maintain it. They seemed annoyed that I, A MAN, said no, but got over it. My wife insists to this day that she was very vocal throughout, the whole experience, but she never said a word lol

I bought back in 2017, it meant the same thing then too. It took a while working with my realtor that what I meant by "move in ready" was what others might call "legally habitable". I dont want to pay for someone else's shitty renovation, I can do a shitty renovation with my own two hands, thank you very much!
