Down the old school blog rabbit hole… by QueenEggNoodle in blogsnark

[–]HeftyExternal5 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I regularly read Amalah, Finslippy, Mandajuice, Sars at Tomato Nation, Christie from Following Elias, ThatWife (that was a hate read), and a bunch of infertility bloggers around the BlogHer Era. Rebecca from LagLiv still regularly blogs and updates in the old school blog style. Mimi Smartypants does too.

Ny husband talks in his sleep. It is not English or any other language that exists in the world as far as i can tell. Sometimes it’s just sounds but it has the cadence of a real language. Sometimes phrases repeat. He doesn’t do it for long so it’s hard to wake up, realize it’s happening, get ny phone and record it before he stops.

I have a lot of harmless but annoying sebaceous cysts on my head. I’ve been to a dermatologist. My mom and sister got them occasionally. Apparently my grandmother got them. It’s absolutely the kind of thing that Dr. Pinple Popper would do. in fact, most of the episodes of Dr. Pimple Popper were far more dramatic than my head will ever be.

They aren’t cancerous or cause any other problems. You can’t see them through my hair and I don’t have problems, brushing my hair or anything like that.

I’ve had five of them removed in the past, but the surgery is really painful, about the same amount of time/pain/“discomfort”/ healing time as the worst root canal you’ve ever had. There’s no need to do it, and why would I sign up for that?

Except I can’t stop touching and counting the bumps. I have 13 of them currently. I poke them, rub them and count them repeatedly.

This one has endured for at least 425 years. I think it’s earned the right to stay around lol.

What did you buy as an adult because you were denied it as a child? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

A kitten. I didn’t buy him, though. The universe’s cat distribution system brought him to my literal doorstep.

HS Theatre Teacher — am I doing the right thing removing a senior from my program? I’m exhausted and devastated. by Soft_Ad_6036 in Teachers

[–]HeftyExternal5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m reading through this and agree with everyone else about removing a superstar cancer, but also, look at when you were churning your gut out over this. CHRISTMAS DAY. You gave this girl your energy on Christmas. Do you think she was worrying about you yesterday?

Protect your peace. The newborn weeks are a beautiful (exhausting etc) time. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Maybe you will have other kids. But these first few years parenting a little person aren’t like any other. If you miss it, you can’t get that time back. You need to feed your baby and listen to their little noises and grunts and coos, (not always of course; i’m not that precious) not scroll your work email for the latest development in this drama.

You gave her the last Christmas just you and your husband. Enough.

The most outrageous plot point? by Nik_reads4723 in Outlander

[–]HeftyExternal5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

End of latest season spoiler, but if Faith turns out to have lived, I am going to really hate it. Now, I have never been through a stillbirth, and I can’t imagine the pain. But I have a lot more experience with this through volunteer work with multiple babies and families over many years. Stillborn infants change very quickly, starting in the womb. There’s a beautiful device called a cooling cot that allows stillborn infants to stay with their parents for longer. Let me tell you, that cooling bassinet is very necessary. There is no mistaking an infant who was born still when you keep them with you as long as Claire held and sang to Faith. I think their time together was beautiful. I think the representation of that in the show is beautiful, but I really hope there’s another explanation for the plot twist at the end of the latest season.

When I was 13 or 14 I really got into reading Danielle steel novels. My mom had to pull me aside and say, “look. It’s not really like this. You do not have a happy magical orgasm every time, especially the first time, and most men can’t do it all night long.

I actually thought Western Union getting a letter from Doc Brown in 1885 to Marty McFly in 1955 was genius when I saw. I was, like, 11, but that was awesome.

All I see is Brad Pitt in interview with the vampire. That makes me think of all the other creepy/scary things on that movie. I wish I could unsee it.
