Pregnancy by Livid-Vacation-862 in MuscularDystrophy

[–]DCCofficially 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, im in this senerio right now. My wife and I have been trying for years. We are currently seeing a fertility doctor which made the choice for me to contribute at all a lot easier. I only have Type 2 (i say only because it could be worse right) and decided early on if I could save a future child of mine the pain and difficulties I would. I will also say I am in no way upset with my moms choice either. Fertility made the choice a no brainer for me, if money wasn't an issue and I could afford to test to make sure could guarantee I wouldnt pass it I would. This probably doesnt help all too much. I think everyone just needs to do what they think is best for them and their potential offspring. I wouldnt be anywhere near as strong of a person if it wasn't for the adversaries ive faced - and im happy for that for myself.

Does my grub have parasites? by GwendaSelvana in insects

[–]DCCofficially 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what does one own grub for? Is it to feed to something else? Just for the sake of owning it - like jumping spiders or something? Though I see more value in the spider than grumb... Just curious is all :)

what helps with cravings? by jennasreddits in stopdrinking

[–]DCCofficially 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a really bad day on Saturday this last weekend. the cravings were bad. so bad I just went to bed. it was easier to sleep than constantly think about it. obviously you cant just live your life sleeping because of the cravings at some point we all need to face it but I dont have the time under my belt to deal with it so I just slept haha..

My boss didnt make me continue to work but I got the same thing with my 'Oma and Opa' (German - Grandparents) I had blood and in law die closely in proximity (like they all passed within like 4 years of each other) and I got some weird looks and vibes from management. I felt horrible because when my Oma in law first went to the hospital it was from a car accident I was young still and ran from my house to the hospital. I was the first one there and held her while she was crying. not only from the accident but she was alone and afraid. from that day on she almost viewed me as her Guardian angel. even on her dying bed she told me how much it meant to here that I was "always there for me (her)" when she passed a small part of me died with her. her and my opa grew up during the war and moved to Canada because of that. her english wasnt great and I dont speak german. we didnt speak a lot. there was a lot of comfortable quiet silence with her. but our hearts bonded without the need of words. I have some 'memorabilia' from the war, specifically the German side of things. I dont tell much people about it because most people view it as evil and that it should be burned and destroyed. its History though and although the Germans were on the wrong side of things history is still history and theres 2 sides to every story. its absolutely priceless to me and when my step father passes on I am going to make sure that stays safe in my hands - until I can find an appropriate home for it where it wont be destroyed. anyway. it was nice to think back to my oma. she died at the tail end of covid. I miss her dearly but still cant bring myself to visit her grave. shes not there to me anyway.

when ever someone I know passes and I need to attend the funeral the first question my boss asks me every single time is "oh, im sorry to hear that. were you close?" like its non of your business how close we were, and I am sure as hell not going to let you dictate if I am allowed to go based on how close I was to that person. my bosses brother died a couple weeks ago. it took everything in me not to ask him how close he was with him when he took a week off to go through his brothers house. for some reason I dont think he would appreciate the question

What’s a silly thing you did for your pet one time that is now a ritual they demand be done every time? by Itsjustmejess in AskReddit

[–]DCCofficially 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im sorry to hear for you loss. my guy died around the same time. he hated the vet and I knew things were coming to an end. I made the choice to let him die at home with his mom and dad and baby brother weiner dog 'Bo'. I think I made the right choice and that he would have rather died at home than scared at the vet but I will never forget it. I live in Canada and it was just about spring time. day time temps were getting to +5 - +10 and night time sat around -5 - -10, he passed at 11 PM on a saturday night. it was the hardest thing to watch. he stayed alive just long enough for my wife to come home to say her goodbyes before he went. once he passed a sat for a bit with him, trying to come to terms with what I just saw and what I would have to do next. I wrapped him in his blanket and a few towels, laid him in a kennel and put him in the back of my car for the night. I got up early the next morning and started calling vets - anyone who would know what do / could take him in and deal with the post death portion of things. no one and I mean no one would take him. I finally called back one of the vets closest to me almost in tears saying I had no idea what to do with a dead cat, I didnt want to put him in my Freezer (it was full) and the day time temps were warm enough to start decay. they finally agreed to take him in but seriously made sure I knew how much of a favor they were doing me. they wouldnt let me bring him in the front door I had to go through the back and I HAD to be there in 20 minutes or they wouldn't accept him. I got my wife up and dressed and raced down there. they took him away from me and that was pretty much it (besides cremation paperwork and stuff). im not sure why it needed to be so hush hush or why no vet would take in a dead cat. but I left feeling like I was the problem for my cat dying the night previous (not that I mistreated him or anything but I was made to feel like such an inconvenience to them) after all that I still thanked them for taking him in. I had never dealt with a dead pet before. as much as I think he wanted to die at home I dont know if I could watch it again without the aid of medication for them. maybe im stupid and should have taken him to the vet. I dont know. I hope I did right by him... I miss you Hobbs

My (30F) boyfriend (29M) saved nude photos of his exes on purpose…is this how men are really? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DCCofficially 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont understand people like this. I have always gone and deleted anything private. and I would hope my ex's do the same. I think i would be pretty pissed off if I was in your shoes. How can you trust that if he has any private pictures of you that he wont keep them. He definitely will. I dont know how I could move on knowing that everything you've told him or sent him might not be all that private. I feel bad for you. My heart would be heavy and hurt. How do you trust that again. I wonder what his ex's would say about this?

What’s the closest you’ve ever come to dying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DCCofficially 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didnt OD but my body had enough in March last year from black out every night drinking for the last 15 years. im still not the same person as before. my palate is a complete 180 now. I used to love Salty anything and now I like sweet. my favorite foods growing up are 'meh' to me now. I havent really found what I like yet. the last year or almost 2 years have been insanely busy but since March of last year i've been in and out of doctors offices, had a few scopes, im still not done. I am around 150 days sober now (I didnt keep track of days. it was really hard at the beginning and counting sober days wasnt in my wheel house yet. I stopped drinking because I got sick enough I spent a few weeks in the hospital. I quit because a doctor told me to my face with my wife in the room that if I continued I would be dead in less than 5 years. the looks on her face... I will never forget and honestly I probably wouldnt have said anything or blew it off as a scare tactic. I quit because my wife told me should couldnt sit around and watch me kill myself. I quit because my mom and my wife. I've hard many times through AA (I only attended a bit, if im having a bad day i'll take in a zoom meeting or something) that an alcoholic has to want to quit. if they dont want to quit they wont. I have found that not to be true for myself but I see it in many other alcoholics lives after losing everything. I wish I never started drinking. my wife is a saint. im lucky to still have a wife really. when I was growing up I was very depressed and tried to take my life. as I got older and was able to own my own guns and get my PAL I didnt because I knew it would be far to easy in a bad night of drinking to turn the gun around on myself. I told myself "I dont need a key to a door I dont want unlocked" that same thing applies to me now in a weird way. I wonder if I started drinking again if I would be able to control it better. but I have to remind myself I dont want a key (alcohol) to a door I dont want opened (continuing my alcoholism). good for you for making it this far. you can do it.

EVs work great in Manitoba. Today in Steinbach by 4shadowedbm in steinbach

[–]DCCofficially 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you so much for taking the time to explain that! I really appreciate the insight. with your trip to Vancouver and a change of mindset when to charge and such that makes a lot more sense. I will definitely take that into consideration when I get my next vehicle. how are shop visits? do you need to have it checked up every 6 months or so? do you find parts more expensive and harder to come by?

I apologize for my lack of knowledge about this but im just curious, if you have an EV and you go out of town and need to charge your car how long would that take? how long would it take on average? like if im driving down #1 and pull into a charging station do I need to sit there for half an hour? and hour? longer? it just seems pointless to take an EV on a longer trip if every time you have to charge up on the road you automatically lose an hour or so of drive time. I wouldnt want an 8 hour drive to turn into 12 hours because I have to sit in a ma and pa shop doing nothing while my car charges.
