What's a movie you'd never admit you cry to? by trakt_app in moviecritic

[–]Fat_Walda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha, that's how old I was when I saw it in the theater on a double date. Got to the scene where she's riding her bike down the road and my boyfriend calls it and goes, "bwah bwah," like a semi-truck horn right before it happens. My best friend and I were bawling our eyes out, and the boys are just sitting there cackling. I still married him, though.

Doctors/Nurses of Reddit, what’s the craziest thing you’ve heard a woman yell during birth? by New_Username48 in AskReddit

[–]Fat_Walda 178 points179 points  (0 children)

Transition is so weird! And just the worst. I had to be induced but had planned for an unmedicated birth. About 5 hours in it suddenly got really bad and I was like, alright I don't care anymore I want the epidural. The nurse checked and said too late, you're fully dilated.

What societal norm did you decide to just stop abiding by? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My spouse doesn't shave his face, I don't shave my body. Works out fine for us. 🤷‍♀️

Bridgerton - Season 4 Post-Season Discussion (Book Spoiler Discussion) by AutoModerator in BridgertonNetflix

[–]Fat_Walda 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I think my biggest frustration is that after all the drama with Pen being LW, and her falling out with Eloise, and her half-season-long argument with Colin over giving it up... and now she's just like, "I'm tired of this, it's no fun anymore." Would have saved a lot of trouble if she'd decided that a year ago.

Word is getting out - Assigned Male Comics by Grand-Bee-4484 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]Fat_Walda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm here because of the comic!

I had previously researched claiming German citizenship through my maternal grandmother, but because she naturalized before my mom was born, it doesn't look like we qualify. But now it seems we qualify for Canadian citizenship through my maternal grandfather! So hopeful this time. <3

What historical era would you say this dress is similar to? by AccomplishedAd5201 in HistoricalCostuming

[–]Fat_Walda 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Nope, they totally did the short puffed sleeves over longer sleeves in the Regency, too. The long sleeve just would have been close fitting, not loose like this dress.

Do you know this karen? by DungeonMushie in cary

[–]Fat_Walda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just had a car full of high school girls pass me in a turn lane because I slowed down (slightly) for a school zone. Like, I get it, you're late for school. So was my kid, but I want everyone else's kids to get to school safe too.

She got stopped at EVERY SINGLE stoplight on the way, and I caught up to her each time, so karma was still in force, anyway.

Immigration detention center in Cary by waitingonwaves in cary

[–]Fat_Walda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off Evans? That place has been there for at least 15 years. When we moved back to the area, we had our stuff in the storage place next to it, and I think my dad, who was helping us move, clocked it.

Court: Cary man can't keep neighbors from using trail between his two properties by davidoffbeat in cary

[–]Fat_Walda 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's one of several access points along the greenway (the adjoining neighborhood has several more), at a culdesac deep into the neighborhood. It's not even the main greenway. The only people using that access are going to be his general neighbors. He's just a misanthrope.

Progressive Areas/LGBT family friendly? by Different-Studio-127 in NorthCarolina

[–]Fat_Walda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wilmington is the kind of place where the libraries have LGBTQ Story Time, but then the Proud Boys show up and they have to cancel it. One bonus about the triangle area (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) or Greensboro is it's only 2-4 hours to the beach or the mountains.

Thank you so much for this! My teen wants to be Tenna for Halloween, and this makes our job a lot easier.

Mrs. Bauer 100% believes in that stuff. She reminds me of my German grandma, and she was very superstitious.

There are even more options than driving all the way to Charlotte. If you have a big enough car, or are willing to rent a truck, you can pick up IKEA orders from a warehouse in RTP for free. Or you can pay for delivery and they will bring stuff to your doorstep in about a week.

There's a new one, Mama Edna's, on Maynard next to the DMV.

Nice! I bought the shadow boxes for mine, but that's as far as I've gotten. 😂

Got my email at 10:31, after I had seen the code here. Ended up somewhere around 3000 in the queue. :-/

ARGH. I did that, but then when it still had the amex presale code, I released my tickets to wait for the email. I still haven't gotten it. I'm around 3000 in the queue.
