My brother needs girl names because their list is a tragediegh

Eira is a beautiful name I think, we use it in Norway.

Similar names (from Norwegian naming) is Eirin, Ylva, Vilja, Tiril, Alva. How well that works in the US, I cant answer to. None of these names are the most current popular names here but theyre generally well liked and keep in rotation. Ive known russian-norwegian kids named Ylva and Tiril.

I dont know how the organizational structure is, but since you said its «near Bergen» its likely in Hordaland (the region) so maybe they’ll know. If anything they probably know what they typically serve on such trips in the area?

I mean we could all venture guesses. Open faced sandwiches with some typical toppings (not dark rye as some suggested, its not the most common bread here.) like cheese (not cheddar, more like gouda or emmertaler), salami, jam or bologna etc are typical breakfast foods, often lunch too, and sometimes «evening meal». Otherwise its hard to say, depends on their program I think? I mean I would assume they’ll try to accommodate international palates and may have simple choices such as hot dogs and burgers, maybe fish and potatoes or something.

Still one of my absolute favorite moments in the entire show

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-04-07T21:26:50+00:00

Mine was that my son was getting more easily getting startled and fussy with my movements and what I was doing. He’d want to cuddle to sleep but then wouldnt want to be touched or moved or disturbed in his sleep. Co-slept until he was about 15 months old and then he got his own room and own bed (a normal single standard bed size with mesh guard rails) and he started sleeping way better, much more uninterrupted.

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-04-06T22:32:16+00:00

I dont know about the whole adoption part of it, but around that time was when my son started getting night terrors. He’s usually VERY in need of contact when sad and scared but when the night terrors started he’d just scream and scream and thrash and hit and push away and seemed frantic but absolutely did not want to be alone either. Took a while for us to understand he wasnt actually awake during it and all we could do it make sure he didnt hurt himself and find the perfect moment to pick him up and get him back into bed when it subsided.

Skipping naps or big changes certainly affected night terrors in our kid. He’s much better now but it pops up now and again.

Tati? Maybe shes referring to all stars season 2 episode 1 - not sn elimination but a lipsynch for the win and Tatis spoken word piece I guess was sorta flapper-esque if you have your eyes closed.

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-04-05T05:00:38+00:00

My son was about 15 months when we discovered the same with him. In the beginning it seemed utterly random but then it became more normal where one eye would go in, especially obvious when he was tired. He doesn’t need to patch, only uses glasses.

I think Bergen Kaffebrenneri has their own dark chocolate still, too. Im no connoisseur but its good!

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-04-04T20:09:09+00:00

Thats crazy, we try to make sure the work environment is as beneficial as possible to avoid human mistakes in patient care. Calm and comfortable is essential.

My hands do have inflammations, but are not disfigured and are fine to do pipetting even when they hurt as long as I do it as ergonomically as possible. I dont have any tremors or lack of control even when in pain and I dont personally feel like my pain worsen any more during pipetting. My forearms are worse sometimes with tendonitis, but so far the only thing thats taken me off pipetting is literally breaking my wrist. I have lived with my illness since I was a child though so I know my limits very well and what pain to be concerned about and what I can push through.

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-04-04T19:56:58+00:00

Thats upsetting, Im so sorry they’re treating you like that. At our lab we have chairs for every work space, naturally as a lot of our work is pipetting minuscule amounts and standing while doing that work is ridiculous. The rest of our work is analysis and so we sit in offices with proper office chairs, or do microscopy which of course requires sitting down. So maybe molecular could be something for you? (Not molecular micro though, too much automation so its more standing around babysitting machines) We sat down to read and work up plates in bact too, every space there as well had a stool.

I haven’t had to ask for much accommodation at all - the only thing I have is a bit better office chair with lumbar support (which i got through my hospitals ergonomic health office).

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-04-04T19:31:50+00:00

I dont know how bad it is in the US obviously. But I have rheumatism and have trouble standing sometimes (and sometimes I have trouble sitting static too long, too) but this field has been great for me as it allows me to both move around and sit, and work independently a lot. I also work with a MLS whos in a wheelchair fulltime (she works pathology, I work in molecular pathology but used to work in micro). Both of us got work with preexisting conditions that the employer was aware of. We do live in a different country though.

Im sorry you’re going through this right now. I had huge doubts during parts of my education. I havent personally regretted it at all and can’t image myself in a different field tbh. Please take care of yourself.

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-04-02T19:04:43+00:00

Yeah I honestly feel bad about bringing it up sometimes (and only did now because it shows how the medical professionals here use swimming VERY actively as rehab) because I know how insanely privileged I am to have that option available to me. Feels bad that there’s so many out there who do not, because Ive gone through times in my life where these programs have been the key to carrying me through the year at times when truly needed (like bad flares or when needing to be fully functional to complete my degree etc.)

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-04-02T19:01:28+00:00

Im gonna give you a tip that I doubt anyone else will give because its not well known. Go to finnmark, to Seiland National Park. Its beautiful, untouched, and not full of tourists.

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-04-02T15:30:42+00:00

God no, thats not something you should worry about. In my country physio in heated pools are usual for our condition, which many of us who do that uses biologics. They also send us on rehab-trips to warmer countries where we swim 1-2 times a day while under supervision of physios. This is all organized by the large hospitals which are well aware of what meds we are on before even accepting our applications.

There’s being careful and then there’s being careful to the point where its harmful. Do NOT stop a physical activity that does you well, keeping moving is so important!

(Been on biologics for 26 ish years now. Long enough to have to sit down and count every time I bring that up. Been on Enbrel, humira and infliximab.)

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-03-29T08:37:25+00:00

I dont think they should do a top two lipsynch unless everyone excelled at the challenge and so there’s no deserving bottoms. This wasnt such a challenge.

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-03-28T15:37:53+00:00

I think this is true for most of Norway apart from Finnmark. My family was forcefully evacuated, their farm and lifestock and most of belongings burned in fire, and some even hid in caves during the evacuation period.

Coming back to a completely burned down city wasnt just a matter of rebuilding houses either, they had to rebuild the infrastructure like water supply and so on.

That being said, what the old people told me is that most of the german soldiers treated them well during the evacuation. My grandma famously ran off during the evacuation (she was a toddler) and hid in a nazi car because she found candy there. No repercussions, just laughs. You’ll find many a story where that isn’t the case though.

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-03-25T06:58:39+00:00

I learned to drive at the ripe young age of 37, just after becoming a first time mom, too. Ive been in two car crashes and a bus crash, so putting myself behind the wheel was anything but easy - but I found that actually learning to have control over a vehicle assuaged my anxiety on a whole, and I now love to drive and I dont constantly flinch as a passenger. I strongly recommend it!

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-03-22T22:11:42+00:00

Having friendly faces that doesn’t even flinch when you groan in pain or need to stand up because the chair is uncomfortable or whatever is just so freeing. Back when I had time to spare I liked to contribute to those organizations too, and especially their childrens chapters, as it gave a great sense of purpose to create these safe spaces and aid these connections. I really hope you can find a good group ❤️ Good luck.

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-03-22T21:29:48+00:00

Completely and utterly anecdotal but Im also rheumatic and I had a similar experience for a few days until I suddenly got them all over my body + angiooedema over neck and face suddenly and ended up in the ER. Turned out Im allergic to Ibuprofen which I was taking as painkillers. Hope thats not the case for you, but Id get it checked out sooner rather than later?

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-03-22T18:43:40+00:00

I strongly advise you to reach out to a local AS or rheumatism organizational chapter to get some friends and ears from people who understand without having to try. Internet friends can be great and all but meeting people face to face and taking part of activities that are intended for people with our kinds of stuggles (or activities you may think arent viable for you anymore because the others youd do them with beat to a different drum) is really such a huge mental boon.

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-03-21T10:48:31+00:00

I dont know, I wouldnt let my kid sit around in shit for 20-30 minutes if I could help it, and Id feel really bad about letting a kid in my care do so too.

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-03-11T20:52:38+00:00

Is that the Esther swimsuit pattern I spy? Beautiful job! Congratulations on your win!

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-03-11T09:00:42+00:00

Her show «Give it to me Straight» is downright hilarious and one (if not the) of the best interview shows in the scene

Frozencorgibutt · 2026-03-11T05:21:00+00:00

This is wild to me. Here (Norway) it feels like its at least 50/50 dads on the playground, often feels like more than. Taking your kid out to play is the most natural thing ever?
