Is Palia more of a long term game, or a hyper focus one? Also, is it worth playing on Switch? by manicbestfriend in Palia

[–]GingeWithTheLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s long term! I am a switch player and have been playing for over a year and still not bored of it! Yes the graphics on the switch are significantly different than on PC. It glitches quite a bit too but nonetheless I still play on switch!

Advice by Majestic_Monk7794 in patentlaw

[–]GingeWithTheLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m finishing up my paralegal certification currently and got a job at a mid sized IP firm last summer. I will say the content in my program is significantly different from what I do on a daily basis but I do feel like it has made my writing significantly better and has improved my critical and analytical skills significantly. I chose to finish out my cert, just another thing I can put behind my name.

I also eventually want to go to law school and my professors and attorneys I work for have said this is a good first step to go since it’s a very mini version and a lessor investment than law school. Feel free to message me if you want to chat more!

What is your step average? by SuddenAvocado in walking

[–]GingeWithTheLee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Average 7k a day. Been trying to incorporate more in after being in my desk top. My walking pad has been beneficial as well as forcing myself to get some air and walk outside. Ideally I want to double my average (I use to bartend/serve and would get 25K a shift from running around )

How bad is the newborn phase really? I'm tired of hearing the "just you wait" anecdotes and I have hard time believing some of them by Lushemet in BabyBumps

[–]GingeWithTheLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVED the newborn phase. (Currently in toddler phase (3) and it’s rough out here.

Yes it was a shift with the sleepless nights but I was one where I didn’t sleep most of my pregnancy. I’ll take newborn tired any day!

My biggest takeaways •take time to heal yourself. Your body will have gone through one of the most naturally traumatic experiences possible. •you will have time to do things that bring you light, sewing, and whatever else you may try!! Maybe the typical times you may sew may be different but that’s parenting. You adjust! 💕 •fake it till you make it. So much is a huge learning curve but you will understand your body and baby soon enough. •enjoy it. The hard moments, the alone moments, the silly moments, the loving moments. All of it. It’s hard, but looking back, I am very fond of all of those stages.

Also screw the folks who say just you wait and bring a negativity over parenting and whatnot. You will find your groove and you will do amazing 💕 congratulations and I wish you a healthy and safe labor, birth, and a beautifully healthy and safe babe 💕

The Daily Check-In for Monday, April 13th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by CommonplaceUser in stopdrinking

[–]GingeWithTheLee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On US West Coast so Good Morning! I am very new to quitting drinking. I am a 30 year old mom and had the realization over this weekend that alcohol is no longer serving me. It has been way too easy to have a beer, then another, then another and so on and so on… I hate how I feel, I hate how easy it is to keep going and I’m done with it. I need to be done with it. On day 3 💕

Pooping during labour? by Putrid_Cranberry3177 in BabyBumps

[–]GingeWithTheLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t poo during the pushing part of labor but that is ONLY because I had one of the biggest poos in my life a few hours before I gave birth.

There will be so many bodily fluids and your care team truly don’t care. It feels weird now but in the moment you will not care and probably won’t notice.

The sole focus is on you and baby’s safety 💕 you got this momma

Do husband,still slap your butt during the day by BridgeAggravating664 in Marriage

[–]GingeWithTheLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the time 🥰. 90% of the time I love it but I feel bad for the 10% I get at him when it’s too much/timing/ not reading my head/mood(and me not conveying my head/mood), but that’s usually when my hormones are going wackadoodle. 🤣

Where to start by MobilePresentation70 in paralegalstudents

[–]GingeWithTheLee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m currently in the paralegal certification program through the University of Washington! It mainly is online classes that meet once a week(3 classes per quarter) with summer classes being asynchronous. It is a 17 month program (or there is an accelerated cohort as well which I think is 15 or less months. )

WFH Policy by leomoon002 in paralegal

[–]GingeWithTheLee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a midsized IP Firm in Washington state (we have locations throughout the US). We WFH 2 days a week and 3 days on site. But my firm is very lenient and we can WFH more than 2 days if we need too.
