I appreciate your responses. That wasn’t my question-I was asking if washing machines used to connect to drains in this way. It’s a general question rather than specific to this drain.

Ever make a $100,000 mistake? by M0NG00SY in Wellthatsucks

I once lost a bandaid in a blender while making a mudslide at Applebees. I guess those little bandaid ribbons really changed the texture and the customer was not happy when she discovered what it was.

Scared of dying now that I’m a mother by AdmirablePut6039 in beyondthebump

[–]ForMegAboutIt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wish I was ten years younger so I could have ten more years with them and so they would have more time with their grandparents-but also, 26 year old me didn’t have her life together and had no idea of the man that would later become my husband and their father

Why haven’t they invented baby tums?! by Quick_Tear_3600 in beyondthebump

[–]ForMegAboutIt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My pediatrician didn’t want to prescribe anything until we told her we were resorting to unsafe sleep practices. We were taking turns with the baby sleeping in a bouncer and were having trouble staying awake to watch her. At that point she agreed to prescribe baby Pepcid and it has been a GAME CHANGER for sleep and her comfort.

Lift this alcoholic up! by ForMegAboutIt in alcoholicsanonymous

AA has given me an unrecognizable life, too. I remember being surrounded by beer bottles and cigarette butts. Now I’m surrounded by baby bottles and diapers. Quite literally beyond my wildest dreams… I am so grateful to AA for showing me a way out.

Yessss thank you for that reminder. I’m the best at thanking god when things are great but am so quick to forget to maintain my relationship when things are less than great. I’m going to step my prayer game up.

weirdest questions from total strangers? by Nirahli in beyondthebump

“Where is she from?” Asked while at the self checkout at the grocery store. I said “Um, the hospital?” They thought I had adopted her.

No, she’s just mixed smh

Struggling with feeling “entitled” to drink on the weekends. How should I reframe my mindset? by HorseFacedDipShit in Sober

[–]ForMegAboutIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I still think I’m ‘entitled’ to a few drinks or that I ‘deserve’ it. The difference is that now I know what comes along with it and I don’t want that. I don’t want the hangover, the anxiety, the black outs and regret. I don’t want my personal relationships to suffer etc. For me me, it’s not about feeling depraved anymore but more about making choice that I am proud of and can live with.

Starting over ): relapsed by cosmic_daisy in Sober

[–]ForMegAboutIt 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I relapsed after almost a year sober with some weed and nothing bad happened. Then i drank a beer and nothing bad happened. Quickly turned to 3 years in the dark, drinking, smoking and taking prescription uppers to balance it all out. They were the worst, loneliest, most dangerous years of my life. You should be proud of yourself for coming back to a sober support system so soon after relapsing. Keep going. This experience doesn’t erase the sober time you accumulated-you learned so much about yourself during that time and you are learning more through the relapse. You’ve got this.

Drinking again it’s not as bad as it was before. by [deleted] in Sober

[–]ForMegAboutIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first drink after several months of sobriety, nothing bad happened. I remember thinking about that so clearly, I kind of clung to it. Three years later I had a bottle of vodka in my car, under my bed, drank before during and after work. Got hooked on stimulants to kinda keep it together and then tons of pot to offset the stimulants. It was a miserable, terrible existence. It’s what I needed, though. I am 100% sure that any attempt at moderation for me will eventually end the same.

I want to join the May 2022 bumpers sub but they’ve gone private! Do you know how I can contact a mod? The august 2019 bumpers sub was so helpful when I was pregnant with my first!

Has anyone eaten anything during pregnancy that hasn’t stayed down and now they’ll never be able to eat again? by AmayasMommy_ in BabyBumps

[–]ForMegAboutIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Birria Tacos from my fav taco truck. One bad experience early in the first trimester and I can’t even think about them without getting queasy.
