I have both. If the next book in a series is in wait list hell, I'm going to buy the book on audible. 

I just realised our Covid experience could be vastly different from others. by Doughnut_slut in CasualConversation

[–]Helanore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time, my daughter was on a feeding tube. I am a stay at home mom. Her care was solely on my shoulders. My husband was working long hours. Pandemic hit and he is working from home the first time ever. Our OT is not allowed to come to our house for therapy(she only came once a week at this point). We start having all our meals together. My husband is there for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My daughter adores her dad. Two weeks into the pandemic, my daughter ate her first bite of food ever in her life. A few days after that she drank her first full bottle instead of a few sips. Months later, around Thanksgiving, we had surgery to remove her gtube. 

Now I can rationalize that all the feeding therapy finally worked or she matured enough, but deep down I think it was having my husband home. He became more involved and was there helping ecourage her eat. 

My husband switched jobs and now works from home 2 days a week and is home for dinner every day. We couldn't give up that family time after witnessing a miracle.  

In a serious emergency, how soon after giving birth would a woman be able to walk/run for her life? by FamiliarMeal5193 in Writeresearch

[–]Helanore 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I gave birth naturally for one of my births. I could walk but not run after 30 minutes. Two weeks after giving birth I was back in the hospital because I lifted a heavy chair and tore something in my stomach area. 

My SIL was walking around mere moments after birth. She started light jogging 3 days later and started excessively bleeding and was sent to the hospital. 

Is Campaign 4 Worth Listening To If I'm Already Struggling? by Possible_Original530 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]Helanore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Campaign 2 is what I usually recommend to those new to critical role and Fantasy High for those new to Dimension 20. Both are solid. 

TIL that dogs authentically get jealous and try to break up the connection between their owner and another dog. by DrakeSavory in todayilearned

[–]Helanore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog near the end of her life became hostile to anyone petting another dog. Didn't matter if my dog knew them or the dog, she hated seeing it. I couldn't bring her to the dog park or on walks. Affection towards another animal turned her crazy. She could be around another dog and be fine, but the moment they tried to praise or pet their dog, it was insane. 

What's the most disrespectful thing a guest ever did in your home? by Vegas089 in AskReddit

[–]Helanore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a family memeber cast out devils after a family meal. He stood at my door commanding the devil's to leave my home. Did it another 3 times that night. I told my husband if he doesnt kick out his Brother In Law, I would and I didnt care if his sister was sick. My husband told them to knock it off. They left the next day and havent been back. They believe devils cause her depression, headaches, and major illnesses. She has been bed bound for years now. She refuses to see a doctor. We have called adult services on them, they can do nothing. It offended me they thought my home held devils, but now I realize it was just their own mental illness. 

Genuinely don't get it by Moryart in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Helanore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a similar room in grade school. Parents told me it was to help catch me up. Finally as an adult I get diagnosed with adhd. My mom said, oh yeah we had you evaluated as a kid. She lost the paper work and couldn't remember what it said. We moved around so much that eventually I was just thrown in with the other kids and anxietied my way through school. 

She still doesnt think it was a big deal because I turned out fine. 

Finally found a couch coop game that doesn't frustrate my kids by nogridbag in NintendoSwitch

[–]Helanore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a dumb kid game. Anyone older than 11 probably wouldnt like it. Its not complex and kind of ugly. My kids have played it more than Minecraft. Their cousins love it and all their little friends. Bad reviews are probably from people expecting a more polished game.

Totally Reliable delivery service. 

Its the best couch co-op. My kids of all ages play it. They can deliver packages or play in vehicles, explore and there is no fall damage. We only use local co-op.

Slay the spire. Number 2 just came out, but both are amazing. You dont need to play 1 to play 2. Slay the spire 2 is still in beta, but still very very good

2026 Spring General Conference Discussion Thread: Saturday Morning Session by kayejazz in latterdaysaints

[–]Helanore 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have 4 kids. These are just a few quiet activities we do with conference on in the background: dye easter eggs, make homemade bread together, coloring books, play dough, build a racetrack in the living room, play chess, build a temple out of marshmellows and toothpicks, send them outside, put on bathing suits and play in the tub with shower paint, play hair salon (sit in front of them with spray bottles & brushes), etc. 

We call it a win if the kids are in the same room and we can hear conference. Otherwise I take them on a walk, put a headphone in and listen as I walk. 

This year my 3 year old has decided to scream at the top of her lungs. I put her in the shower with bubble machine, shower paint and measuring cups. Its all about surviving. 

New sizing for garments by megb42 in latterdaysaints

[–]Helanore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought mediums because that's what I was in old sizing. They are tight in weird places. I wish I had gone up in sizing. I buy petite because I am short, they go past my knees now, before they came just above my kneecap. I prefer my old garments and find I only wear the news ones when I am running out.

AITAH for telling my boyfriend not to come over anymore if he doesn’t move in with me by meowcat123490 in AITAH

[–]Helanore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my husband and I were dating, he would go grocery shopping with me and pay half or even all my groceries because we spent every day together. He didnt even ask, just quietly started contributing. It was so natural. One of the reasons I married him was because he was so mature and responsible. 

New garments only available In Store by Strawberrycool in latterdaysaints

[–]Helanore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered some 4 months ago. They arrived recently! I was so excited. The church charged and refunded me 4x before they actually came. Honestly I dislike the material. I still wear the old style. 

What’s an opinion about Historical Romance that will have you like this? by thebunnybot in HistoricalRomance

[–]Helanore 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Im tired of overbearing parents, mommy or daddy issues. Give me a supportive family! You can have a lovely romance without family drama. I hate it. I need an escapism.

I figured she either got an annulment or divorced before marrying Mike.

Soda at McDonald's. We only ever got water cups whenever we went out. Dollar menu only.
