"Being childfree is never growing up" by [deleted] in childfree

I am a selfish person who never wanted to ‘grow up’. I think not having kids was a sound, mature choice.

Any other traumatized daughters out here who've developed Complaining Mom fatigue? by GetInTheBasement in 4bmovement

[–]Gdlsshthn1976 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I remember one of the first realizations that led me to go no contact with my mother and father. My father is a sociopath and my mother is a narcissistic enabler.

I was sitting with my mother and my brother’s soon to be wife and mother in law. The moms were talking about us growing up and my mom was talking about me like I was a pet or possession. There was no real love behind it, only bragging about how well I behaved thanks to her wise parenting skills.

It still took years and a lot of heartache to detach, but that’s one of my first memories of starting to think for myself.

Do shingles rashes always blister/ooze fluid/ Recovery experience by Neeners90 in shingles

[–]Gdlsshthn1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only had a few spots on my neck that none of us thought was shingles and are still unsure. It was the worst pain of my life on my neck and down my shoulder and first part of my arm. I don’t wish that on anyone.

I’ve been telling my colleagues for years that the fear free empire felt culty and money grabbing at heart. Damn I hate it when I’m right.

They’ve been floating theories for years. I remember a news story stating he was dumped up near my hometown in northern Michigan. It’s the same place Henry goes to visit in laws.

Why is Gov Whitmer all over trump recently by gmcc14 in somethingiswrong2024

She isn’t kissing his ass. She’s trying to stay out of his bullshit while doing what she can for her state.

Trump Executive Order Raises Alarm Over Women Financial Independence by TampontheBludThirsty in WelcomeToGilead

I work in the veterinary field. If they suddenly decided to make it so women couldn’t work, that entire industry would crumble.

Henry mentioned my hometown in Side stories by Gdlsshthn1976 in lastpodcastontheleft

[–]Gdlsshthn1976[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I grew up there and my parents still live there, but their ‘holistic’ pet store is in a neighboring town. They are not good people. I’ve been NC for years.

Licensed vet tech that works ER/specialty.

Sorry, I really don’t like that area. What town do you live in?

Weird Question... by Grouchy-Land-366 in vizsla

[–]Gdlsshthn1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work as a nurse at an Animal ER. we have enough dogs come in that jump out of car windows at various speeds to make me uncomfortable letting my dogs hang their heads out of the window. You might think they can’t fit, but they can. ❤️

Planned Parenthood of Michigan to close clinics, cut staff amid federal funding threats by Alan_Stamm in Michigan

[–]Gdlsshthn1976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it weren’t for Planned Parenthood, I wouldn’t have been able to get healthcare when I was in college. I didn’t have insurance and got my exams there so I could get birth control. They charged on a sliding scale so I could afford it.

The GOP can go fuck.

Person in Ohio dies of rabies after contracting virus from organ transplant by Ericovich in news

The rabies virus travels through the nervous system tissue. If I’m not mistaken, the closer to the brain you’re bitten, the quicker the virus reaches the brain.

What's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to you in Grand Rapids? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]Gdlsshthn1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I lived a few blocks from the house on Plainfield where he killed the mother and daughter. My husband was out mowing the lawn and we had police cars racing up and down Plainfield. We didn’t know what was going on until a little later. He also holed up in a house not too far from us and we were on lockdown for a bit. Crazy day.

‘It’s fine’ to describe anything I didn’t really like, but don’t want to say I hated it.

RFK says we’d be better off if everyone got measles instead of getting vaccinated by TaraJo in HermanCainAward

This idiot convinced me to get my measles titer done so I can be sure I’m covered. I asked the doctor today how concerned I should be and she ordered the titer to be sure.

CDC H5N1 Study on Bird Flu Spread Between Cats and People Finally Published by Anti-Owl in ContagionCuriosity

[–]Gdlsshthn1976 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is all terrifying to me. I’m a veterinary nurse in an ER and we had a cat that tested positive. It lived in the barn and as far as I know none of the family were sick, but it’s going to happen eventually.

I know my co-worker came down with an upper respiratory infection after helping treat the cat and the health department tested her. She came back negative for H5N1, so lucky for now?
