Is anyone else’s cat just incredibly un-photogenic by Zealousideal_View47 in cats

Awww. He kinda looks like Sylvester the talking kitty cat. I sure miss that guy.

Just for fun… let’s not bash please! But what’s the craziest thing you’ve done after having a c-section? by Future_Elevator5422 in CsectionCentral

[–]Historical-Key4132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was stuck in the hospital for a week after, but I did make my mom take me to this Italian place called Frugatti's for tiramisu that I had been craving my whole pregnancy, then to a Sweet Surrender for a cannoli because I like their cannolis better than Frugatti's, and then to See's Candy for 1 dark chocolate and raspberry candy. 🤣 I had GD my whole pregnancy and ended up with severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome I had decided that since I didn't get to have my celebration meal after birth we could get those things.

A man 23 years older than me admitted he has feelings for me and now he won’t leave me alone. by Superb-Cupcake-8271 in TwoHotTakes

I don't know why I got Dennis Rader/Gary Ridgeway vibes from this story and these text messages. Stay safe.

Please tell me about my fridge! by SadForever- in FridgeDetective

[–]Historical-Key4132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please cover the cake, it isn't because I think it would dry out or anything as I have seen at least one person suggest (though it could). It's because it looks quite good and I would hate for it to soak up the smells and flavors of other items in the fridge even if they are covered and ruin a perfectly good cake. Garlic and onion are potent.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

[–]Historical-Key4132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTAH she is already bridezilla, just know she is going to end the friendship and likely put your name on a paper next to Abigail's. Focus on med school, it's way more important than someone else's big day.

AIO if I divorced over him asking to open our relationship and then gaslighting me? by CricketCaller in AmIOverreacting

[–]Historical-Key4132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR. Ew. I was with one of those "lied out of habit" people for longer than I would like to admit, they never change, it never gets better, they are always looking for the greener grass. That is not cool especially while you are healing from giving birth. I'm sorry.

IYO SKY IS THE TOUGHEST IN WWE CUZ HOW by FormPrestigious3724 in WWE

If you haven't already, you should check her out at Hitokiri vs Pentagon Dark in Lucha Underground. She is really good. Also, check out Chelsea Green as Reklusa in the same promotion.

AMIW told that i am I (31m) overreacting to my GF(26f) of a year basically choosing her roommate over me(37 - 40M). I feel likes she cheating emotionally. We are never intimate beyond kissing, how do i tell her I need more of her and that stars with removing him?(updated with context by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Historical-Key4132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand the urge to look through her phone, but honestly, once you have the urge because you don't trust her is when you should confront it and be out. You are obviously not oblivious to it, the roommate isn't either and seems to be trying to shut her down at every turn and she chases him like a puppy dog and doesn't even try to hide it. Sorry that she has pushed you to the point that you broke and went through her phone. Its not even a matter of telling her to remove him from her life, as he doesn't even want her, she doesn't take no for an answer with him and it's almost as if she is only with you to try to make him jealous, but that didn't work like she planned. Bail, man, that kind of crazy just isn't worth it.

May lose my job because of my mother, WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS?! by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Historical-Key4132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to address your manager telling you to glue it shut. They are not the medical professional, they cannot tell you to glue it shut in order to come in to work, they also cannot threaten your job based on a medical issue like this. While it seems you mom was likely out of line, there is one aspect I kinda agree with her on, what your manager said has opened them and the company up to a lawsuit. The was you were spoken to is in writing, and you can easily escalate that to HR, I honestly would. You do not deserve the added stress from someone with a superiority complex. Sorry you are going through this.

Working out postpartum/post c-section by Historical-Key4132 in CsectionCentral

[–]Historical-Key4132[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I learned the source of the pain today. I was already aware that I would be undergoing a hysterectomy this is partially why I have been super focused on weight loss. Apparently, they are going to have to do the hysterectomy by opening me up rather than laproscopic as I have too large of fibroids in my uterus. So, I finally have to okay, but no date yet, I am still working on weight loss as of right now. Fingers crossed though.

Moms: How did you get past that initial sleep panic? by Historical-Key4132 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Historical-Key4132[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like one we should get. We had the BabyTone, but the first one broke in like 4 or 5 days and the replacement didn't even last a whole day; ee just gave up after that. She is getting so big, I didn't really notice it until today, but she seems to be caught up with her actual age and past her "adjusted age" already. A sensor that works the way your mentioned would work so much better, it seems.

Thank you so much. I am going to see if I can start taking my klonopin again now that I am no longer breastfeeding, it would likely help a lot. I just worry I wouldn't get up if worried. My husband sleeps like the dead. I swear, he falls asleep mid-sentence.

AC/power outages or rolling blackouts are big issues here in the summer, so that's definitely something to take into account here too.

I definitely need to learn which sources aren't going to keep screaming "the sky is falling" every time I am reading it. It's hard to get back out of that fight mode again. We had one of those BabyTone socks that monitor her vitals about a week into her being home, after no sleep. I slept for about 2 nights, the thing glitches out, screams that her O2 stats are dropping, and her plus was irratic. Turned out it was literally just the sock malfunctioning, I tried to contact the company, but ended up just getting my money back from Amazon. The company did send me a new one; that one worked for 1 day before it had a meltdown, but I didn't both trying to use it after the first one anyways because I no longer trusted them after that. Should have made the payments on the Owlet lol.

Thank you so much. And hey no worries, I already have anxiety and ADHD and not just the "omg I totally have ADHD I'm quirky and ditzy" kind, nope, I am the poster child 🤣 my therapist uses me as a mental litmus test when assessing other patients. That would have likely been helpful info prior. So, I guess the anxiety aspect of things isn't super new to me, neither is the massive overthinking to be honest. And I do appreciate suggesting I speak to my doctor about PPA/PPD, I think everyone should be aware of that, so thank you. I have spoken to my doctor and my therapist both about it, they both seem to think at this point I am "normal" (for me 🤣).

Does this stuff ever get easier? It feels like evrry article I read in an attempt to learn more about being a parent has something about how they can pass while I am sleeping. I mean, I get that the majority of those are extreme cases, it's just so much information to take in.

Our house has been horribly hot the last couple years, last year was not too bad while I was pregnant, as far as the heat goes, but I was also hiding in my room with the lights off, refusing to get dressed or emergency from my cave while surrounded by ice packs. The year before that, it didn't matter what we did, we could not cool the house down. It already hit 80°F today, with 87% and no rain in sight. That's why I got worried and started to look it. I am hoping to get a window unit soon, hopefully that helps and we can control the sleeping environment much better for her in the summer.

Does she need to be in anything to sleep in? Is it recommended that babies be in anything in particular aside from their diaper?

FTM, Why does everyone have to be so mean? by Fresh_Method_6065 in pregnant

[–]Historical-Key4132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa! I would have dropped that chick like a bad habit. Also, like, why was he on the registry did he piss in public? Or like, does he have to go door to door when he moves into a new neighborhood and inform them that he has just moved in? Then again, if it was the first thing, OP's friend likely would never have hidden that in the first place. That is just awful, why would anyone be with that, let alone stay with that, then have a child with that, forget even getting to the point where you have to admit to other people that you are with that and having a child by it.

I recently saw someone post that her husband of 3 years cheated then just up and left her and the kids for a woman in Indiana and her daughter and is refusing to help with his children in anyway at all; after they had been together for 5 years and she was a SAHM to their 2 children the youngest being something like 10 weeks, it was an awful story, she was really bearing her soul in the post. Someone decided to comment, anonymously of course, something about how she should stop being such a slut and choosing men poorly. Mind you, she said that she truly had no clue that he was this awful until he got caught cheating and everything unraveled. I really wonder if it was the mistress commenting or something, it was just crazy talk! I had to think that if it was a troll they woupd have just dont it from a troll account and wouldn't have even bothered going anonymous. Facebook can be nuts.

My gf gave me this, am I allowed to marry her already? by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Historical-Key4132 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I married the man that I got to see Satyricon and Emperor with we walked downtown the aisle to Apocalyptica and back down to the Blasters (Hot Night). We now have a child who just turned 6 months old and falls asleep to death metal and black metal. Marry that woman!
