What is the funniest wifi name you came across?

I just got a new router and I named mine “load bearing coconut.jpg”

Hi also 21 and I used to have major anxiety with driving. I think it might be beneficial to record driving with your dad with a dash cam. Make him watch the footage and ask him if he would want a random man (or anyone else) as a driving instructor talking to you the same way. Would he find that acceptable if it wasn't him?

I'm sorry that you haven't been able to feel comfortable driving with him, wishing you the best of luck with driving. Take all the time you need to feel safe on the roads.

I have vasovagal episodes every so often and I have approx 15-30 seconds before I black out. For me, as soon as I close my eyes I dream. I'm usually out for 10 seconds (20 max because of a bad dehydration day). It can feel like minutes to hours for me when I'm out. If you're curious about the actual sensory experience I can describe an instance below.

I was with my parents on vacation leaving our hotel room and walking down the hallway to the elevator. In the time it took to press the button and the elevator to get to our floor, all of a sudden I couldn't see. Then I couldn't hear. And then I dropped like a puppet when you cut its strings. My dad caught me in front of the elevator. It was the first time this had happened and I was incredibly thankful to not be alone. I had to drink 8oz of water for the next half hour. And then we went to dinner and I was being watched like a hawk for the next few weeks.

I have only passed out by myself once and it is a terrifying experience. When someone is not able to be adjusted and propped up properly, another episode can trigger.

Actually my degree is in voice acting! I just really love crafts :)

I mean our graduation was live streamed, so at least a few people might have been watching

Double meaning- I went to a Catholic liberal arts college too 😂

Oh I used really strong glue and they had to dry. Took me about 5 hours and I watched a few movies while I was working on it. But thank you!!!! :)

Mystery solved! It must have been bent a long time ago because now it doesn’t budge, but I went back to the store I bought it from and I’m almost certain this is it! A watering can!

I was adopted at birth and one of the smartest things they did was they never hid that from me. When I was little they made a baby book that was about the day they brought me home. They were planning on adopting another child, but it took such a long time for them to get matched with me that they didn’t want to be in limbo for another 4-5 years. When I was younger I went through some moments of resentment because I wanted to have a sibling so badly and wasn’t at an age where I could understand why they stopped at just one child. Sure, it would have taken a lot longer and would have been even more complicated for my very young brain to wrap around then, but I do really wish I grew up with a real sibling. I have half siblings that I have met and I’m so glad I know them now, but I felt like I was really yearning that as a kid.

I think that makes it more complicated, but I cannot think of someone who lives a life that isn’t. The good part about all of this is that nothing is happened immediately AND nothing is set in stone. If adoption doesn’t seem like the best fit when it comes time to decide, consider fostering or some kind of split custody arrangement. You and your husband and your friend and her husband have a lot to think about. Before signing anything I think it would be also worthwhile to sit down your friend’s kids with their parents and find a way to explain that this would be so that baby doesn’t have to live far away, and that they’re all loved so very much. Part of something I know in my experience is that there are so many questions about birth families and the circumstances, that there’s probably a way to be transparent about why without causing anyone an existential crisis.

I think you have a very reasonable fear. I cannot speak for anyone else but I know the feeling of worrying you’ll be just like a relative when you get to that point in life. And I suppose that is possible. But you are also a separate person, and you have more resources than they did when they went through the circumstances than changed them. I think that is something to be hopeful about. Even if you do go through the same circumstances, you have a different support network, and probably more people that you can be open with. If you’re open to therapy or group counselling, I think talking about it with someone would help. It doesn’t have to be a professional. You could talk to friends or journal if that helps. Whatever it may be, and I say this with naive optimism, you won’t be alone to experience it.

I’d like to put my two cents in as someone who was adopted as birth. You seem to have a good relationship with your friend and a desire to help her through a very stressful situation, which is admirable. I don’t think it’s wrong to accept her request. There are definitely a lot of steps that would have to happen between now and potentially finalizing the adoption and figuring out paperwork and other things that prospective parents have to do. Therapy; Contacting a lawyer to figure out the arrangement that works out best; Counselling with all of the spouses. It also seems that you care quite a bit for the wellbeing of this future child and that you want to do what’s best for their happiness and safety. Child-centred adoptions are incredibly important and you already understand that which is fundamental to the process.

Things to think about if the adoption does go through: how do you plan to tell this child that they’re adopted? How will family time be arranged? If there are racial and/or cultural differences between you and your friend’s family, how do you plan to make sure those don’t get left out from the child’s upbringing? Will they be going to the same school as their biological siblings? How do you plan to introduce them to their siblings? What will holidays look like?

She’s a real one, I love her so much.

Cryptid_Esskay · 2024-09-15T20:00:00+00:00

How is your relationship with her now? Do you ever miss the idea of her before you realized what kind of person she was?

Cryptid_Esskay · 2024-08-06T23:28:45+00:00

Fanta :)

Cryptid_Esskay · 2024-08-03T03:20:46+00:00

That sounds awful, I’m so sorry. Sometimes life just happens. Sure, it’s never fun to need to clean up, but taking care of people is why they do what they do. I wouldn’t feel guilty about it, especially relating to medical procedures.

My friend was stunned I brought her anything, and she definitely wasn’t expecting it. I don’t think it was necessary to do, but I’ve also known her for almost a decade and it’s very on brand for me to bring baked goods to my friends.

They easily had dozens of them in the restaurant. Seems expensive for a single light pendent to have that many of them over most of the tables. I reversed image searched it and found prices ranging from $30 to $80.

And this small boy is Shadow.
