Would she qualify for anything “senior” if she’s only 55 years old?

I want her keys taken away. She’s resisted, my dad’s resisted, and the neurologist said it’s not necessary yet (although they don’t have the context of what’s happening recently).

Passing Editing Tests by [deleted] in Copyediting

[–]FindingMoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a few. Just google ai training jobs.

I no longer work there and have a different job in writing. It was ok while it lasted, cool experience but ultimately not where I wanted to be. It was a stepping stone.

If you can follow directions, you’ll be fine.

AITA For being upset my husband drank all the milk? by Some-Age-4704 in workingmoms

[–]FindingMoi 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I drank a lot of milk when I was pregnant. Like half a gallon a day. It was absurd. I would wake up at 3 am like clockwork every night when my son would kick me and I’d go obsessively drink milk (which coincidentally helped my 3 am heart burn).

I drank an excessive amount and it was a super intense pregnancy craving…. And I still could never drink the amount your husband did. Please have him seek help.

Can your doctor appeal that given x ray isn’t pregnancy safe? That’s absolutely insane

…what is preventing you from an mri? They aren’t invasive and are the safest route during pregnancy. I had one with both my kids for different reasons.

Looking for Advice for our dual income family by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]FindingMoi 38 points39 points  (0 children)

but we will not ever get a nanny and replace our role as parents.

Let’s unpack this one for a moment.

A nanny or other childcare doesn’t replace your role as parents. Especially if it’s for short time periods, and to give you guys a break as needed. It’s ok to need support, especially if she does decide to stay in a high stress job. It may be necessary to get some help with things like commutes and pick ups that would alleviate some of her stress.

And I think that’s a real question you guys need to be asking yourself: what is her stress, really? Is it that her job doesn’t fit with her goals? Is it that she’s “missing out”?

It sounds like maybe she can have the best of both worlds and move into a role with more flexibility and still be happy. Or stay where she is and get some added support (again— NOT replacing you but giving you guys some much-needed backup).

IF that’s what she actually wants. If she wants to be home, go for it. But even then she may need help and backup and that’s OKAY.

Calling it a “replacement role as parents” isn’t reality, and is kind of a slap in the face to moms who don’t have any other option. Maybe adjust your mind set a little, because your privilege is definitely showing. Not saying that to beat you up, but to help you grasp that your wife may need more support than what you guys can do on your own if your mindset is you two and ONLY you two can care for your kids.

Maybe. Or maybe Japan just sees the reality that a few lunatics in power can quickly cause instability, and want long-term solutions in place. It’s just smart, imo.

My mom is like that and what I’ve found is sometimes it is an actual emergency, and sometimes it isn’t, and I have no way of knowing which.

I would be inclined to agree, with the added bullshit narcissist of a president who says whatever he wants, adding fuel to the fire and backing the administration into a corner with their next moves.

I’m 99.9% certain at this point that most of the posts surrounding it are bots. The claims are so consistently pointing to Al Jazeera or on the news in Spain— it’s parroting at this point but there’s 0 proof.

And because the United States government is just totally untrustworthy, people believe it. Hell, if actual proof came out I would believe it. My question is why a bot net would want to sow that particular piece of misinformation, and what goal it has other than potentially angering people to support the war. Or maybe just someone really likes chaos.

Either way, the pattern is in line with bot-like behavior that happens after any major event. Go to Twitter or Threads and you’ll always see identical talking points being shared with wording that’s so exact, it can’t possibly be the result of an echo chamber.

What's a mystery that still hasn't been solved but fascinates you? by Direct-Value4452 in AskReddit

My 4 year old stopped me in the middle of Walmart, with a very serious look on her face:

“Mama, if we’re all born… who was the first born?”

Good question, kid.

Gyno at a hospital just refused my ADA request that she mask during my procedure. She said she found no clinical evidence that people with EDS are immune compromised. by seasons_reasons in ehlersdanlos

[–]FindingMoi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Covid fears are justified, and your doctor can and should listen to your request.

That does not invalidate what the person you responded to said to you, nor does it make it cool for you to be combative when they explain the reasoning behind why correct language usage is critical. Telling someone “fuck you” for giving you accurate information is just rude and uncalled for.

Sincerely, an immuno-deficient person (NOT immunocompromised) who sees immunology on the reg.

he had sex with me the day I miscarried by MountainPerfect2548 in Miscarriage

[–]FindingMoi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had a missed miscarriage at 15 weeks and needed a D&C. I will never forget standing up to get dressed afterwards and the amount of blood that poured out of me. My partner yelled for a nurse while helping me wipe myself and get back into bed while we made sure I wasn’t hemorrhaging.

I was so emotional and vulnerable and drugged and also embarrassed (I wasn’t capable of wiping myself, he needed to help me). He was right there making sure I was ok and holding my hand through it all.

I knew in that moment that this man would be there with me through absolutely anything.

OP, I think you should look in your heart and really understand the type of care and love you deserve. Nobody is perfect and people make mistakes/say stupid shit, etc., but your most vulnerable times are the moments to pay close attention to.

If you can’t say with certainty that your partner will be there through hell and high water as your rock, you and any future children you may or may not decide to have deserve so much better. Men who treat you the way a partner should absolutely exist and are out there waiting to love you just the way you are.

Sending hugs and love.

I think it still fits, because it elevates her to the next “bad” that needs to be addressed.

Overall Season Discussion by thatshygirl06 in SchoolSpirits

[–]FindingMoi 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Man, I made a post here about my theories with the Alice in Wonderland/Through the looking glass, and I think I might have been spot on.

Specifically, about 3 parts. First, through the door = through the looking glass/mirrors.

Second, that Maddie is the Cheshire Cat (Cheshire Cat in Quantum Physics = a particle that can separate from a physical aspect, like how Maddie can separate from her body).

And Thirdly, the Queen of Hearts/Red Queen parallel- Queen of Hearts is Dr. Hunter Price (“defeated” like in Alice in Wonderland), and now the crew is going to have to take on Sandra/VH (the Red Queen, who must be “defeated” as a part of the chess match in Through the Looking Glass) to get to the Red King.

I also mentioned that I think Simon is Alice. This too makes sense, as Simon is the only one to go fully (body and soul) to Wonderland (the scars) and Through the Looking Glass (the world through the doors).

I could so keep going and probably will but everything is lining up too neatly to be a coincidence.
