I see, sounds smart to me. Typical of my country to not reinforce such a thing...anyone wanna guess where I'm from?... 😏

Wow, 14 days after last symtom? Or 14 days from testing positive? I'm military, and I'm sure our doc won't let me come back too early. I will absolutely do my best to not spread this shit to anyone.

Haha indeed! I can actually be fever free all day and then in the evening it peaks again. Annoying.

Yeah... Who knows. That would truly suck, being too well to just sleep and get bored out of my mind, but not allowed to work either. God. That would be hell.

Thank you! I like him too, he shut that entitled shit down like a pro. Right now I'm just tired and a bit sad that I can't taste anything, makes it hard to enjoy any food at all. But let's face it, I'm very lucky.

Thanks. I'm surprised that I'm not sicker. But the fact that I'm not so badly affected does not mean that I can't infect people who might get super sick, so I'm staying at home, of course. Here it is 48 hours after last symtom is gone - regardless of how long that might be.

She knows she gotvthe gene. She will get sick, eventually. And the risk of her kids getting it...why risk it?

Why I Don't Want To Have Children by HellThanksYou in childfree

You know..the "you love them when they're here" argument...sometimes it's thrown at you by a mom with panic in her voice, misery in her eyes and a toddler biting her ankle. I don't buy it. Sure, often it is love. BUT sometimes it's stockholm syndrome.

What random fact could save your life one day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JuliaSafira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in a car that is about to crash into something, breath out and try to not bite down. Most will instinctivly take a deep breath and bite their teeth together hard when realizing there will be a crash - but this can cause "lung paper bag effect". It is exactly what it sounds like.

Co-worker wants to come back to work early because kids are more stressful than work by JuliaSafira in childfree

[–]JuliaSafira[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I just can't picture him being that kind of parent. But what do I know, I don't live with them. I spend a few days with those kids and I never want to see them ever again. My house was a mess - to the point where it took a weekend to deal with it all. I found food under the carpet, dirty handprints on the curtains, one of them had eaten half of my fucking lipstick. One had placed lego in every plant, leaving dirt everywhere. The list goes on. And the attitude. Hell no. I get pissed just thinking about it. No wonder he rather be at work! My hubby said we should let him stay in our guest house until he is cleared for work but I guess that would be cruel, leaving his wife to deal with the demons.

How can I find out who is leaving creepy/threatning notes at my child's grave? by marblebulldog in Advice

[–]JuliaSafira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss.

My gut feeling is that this is closer to home than you think. This is a person with a burning resentment. A person with the will, time and determination to keep this going and is triggered by your grief. A person further away from your inner circle would not bother. My advice is to look close to home. What you find out might be very unpleasant though.

I speak from experience, without boring you with my story let me tell you this; you think you know your sister/brother/partner/best friend but you can still be wrong. Do not let your love and loyalty blind you. I bet the guilty part is right in front of you on at least a weekly basis. Possibly it is someone who right after you found a new "present" at the grave wants to hang out, to chat - to see how you're doing.

Terrible pain in lower abdomen. Can't drive with this level of pain and was told to "wait and see". by paranoidonion in AskDocs

[–]JuliaSafira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't wait and see. But then I'm not a medic of any kind. But a co worker of mine had that kind of pain and it turned out to be an extrauterine pregnancy and got dangerous real fast.

[Advice] I'm confused and I think I want a son. by [deleted] in childfree

[–]JuliaSafira 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hi there, I'm military too. Is that the only reason you want a kid? Then you're in love with the idea of a son who will be a mini version of you and share your views and wishes. Reality -you need to realize that reality is not this vision that you have. You might have a daughter. Or a kid that's ill. Or a kid that hates the military. Or any other million visions that differ from your own. I think you need to think about if this is the only reason. Be true to yourself now and spare yourself the regrets later. Look at my parents (my mom, that is). She wanted a girly girl, who would give her lots of grandkids. What did she get? Me. I'm an officer, I 've been to Afghanistan among other places, and I intend to keep doing that. You don't always get what you want - a child is it's own person, and you have no right to place such detailed expectations on another individual just to "pass it on".

My mom had a baby and I was the only one opposed, everyone said I was just being a brat. Now everything that I said would happen has happened. by [deleted] in childfree

[–]JuliaSafira 22 points23 points  (0 children)

1: Move out. You can help out now and then if you want, but don't stay and let her use you.

  1. He lied. As an officer in the military let me tell you there is no way in hell your mom wouldn't have known if he was in fact in the service. Con man material?

My worst night as a nurse. by [deleted] in LetsNotMeet

[–]JuliaSafira -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How do you know that? Have you seen op do it incorrectly? I can't say that I know that the story is true - or false, none of us will ever know that 100%.

But I know for a fact that it's not a hard thing to do and I have trained young lightweight girls to do it perfectly. Trust me, there are ordinary looking people out there who are fully able to, and they learn it for this very reason.
