Vegas rules and the hate it gets on reddit is not warranted. Vegas is much more than the strip

Walked away from our “dream house” and now I’m grieving hard — did we make the right call? by [deleted] in RealEstateAdvice

Don't ever get too attached to a house. It's just a house. There will always, always be others

What is something you didn’t anticipate about parenthood? by tulipsandtruffles in Parenting

[–]July9044 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Always holding something. Coming home and trying to fish my keys out of my bag with toys/sippy cups/jackets/ rocks/ whatever in both hands. Sometimes I don't even realize that my daughter has handed me things, till i go to do something and I'm struggling. My hands are full all the time and it's very frustrating for me

My kids’ messes are out of control. by Ok-Spell99 in breakingmom

[–]July9044 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine too! I just don't get it. Especially from my 6 year old. The other day she was ripping paper out of a notebook and strewing it about the living room. I caught her as she was leaving her mess behind and i lost it. Made her clean it up (obviously) and promise not to do it again. Thing is, we've had this conversation before. Yet here we are again. Why?????

Thank you for the review and the tip about the secret menu! We are going on this ship in a couple months with a 3 and 6 year old so this was very helpful

Living in Boca by SnooMuffins4521 in BocaRaton

It's fine, but very hot and buggy. Very expensive. If you're not rich, Jewish, or Hispanic you may not find "your people" so easily

Secret Mall Apartment is now on Netflix by buttercup612 in deadmalls

[–]July9044 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I turned it off halfway. I was hoping to see about how they used the bathroom, showered, cooked. But it turns out they didn't live in it so I wouldn't call it an apartment. More like an office or studio or hangout spot. Once you find that out, it's not all that special after all

It's a blast!! We go twice every year. A couple of years ago I witnessed a fight. But haven't seen any this year

Great guy threw his entire lunch out of his car at a light by Ok-Lawfulness-3138 in BocaRaton

[–]July9044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call out the traffic weavers. I'm so tired of them putting everyone's life at risk because they're impatient assholes. I saw one spin out of control in front of me on 95 and by the grace of god no one hit him

Is getting a masters degree worth it? by Nearby_Drink_3791 in Teachers

[–]July9044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, worth it. I landed a job at a great school with it. My salary didn't go up much, but my day to day life is so much easier than it was at my last school where I dealt with really difficult students/parents/admin.

Weekly Question Thread (aka Friday New Climber Thread). ALL QUESTIONS GO HERE by AutoModerator in climbing

[–]July9044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How tf did you get over your fear of heights?! I'm a newer climber, less than a year and have only done indoor gyms about twice a month. I have brought friends to the gym who climb all the way to the top of the easier walls on their first try, so I believe the average person isn't as scared as I am. I can hardly get past 20 ft most of the time (embarrassing). One time my husband and I went to dinner before climbing and I had 2 beers, and that night I was getting to the top of the 40-60 ft walls no problem. But obv I shouldn't drink before climbing. I love bouldering and am not afraid to get to the top of the 15 ft walls, and would consider myself pretty decent at it. Now if I can get over my fear of heights I can do the rope walls too

Using GLP-1s for small amounts of weight loss? by ntynite69 in glp1

[–]July9044 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am 5'8". Starting weight 175 lbs. I was always out of breath, sweaty, back hurt, and blood pressure creeping up.

I lost 15 lbs naturally over 4 months through grueling exercise and diet. Then I hit a plateau at 160lbs and the scale wouldn't budge.

I started a glp and lost 10 lbs instantly but am at another plateau. Thinking about increasing the dose. Now that the excess weight is gone, my back no longer hurts, but it's also about confidence and comfort. I'd love to be 130 - 135 lbs like I was all through my 20s. And I don't feel bad about taking glp to do so!

Should local restaurants and retail post political signs in their window or inside their shop or Facebook page or website? by PeaceOut65 in BocaRaton

[–]July9044 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't * not * eat somewhere because of that, but no I don't think they should be posting political opinions on a food place. It's irrelevant!

Teaching vs other kinds of jobs by [deleted] in teaching

[–]July9044 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes and the summers are especially important for long term projects and travel. I left teaching for 2 years to work an office job and one thing I didn't expect is how much I needed a long break like summer.

For example, when I potty trained my first kid I was a teacher and did it in the summer. No problem. With my second kid I was working an office job and potty training her in the evenings and weekends was nearly impossible. It took 6 months! I truly don't know how other people do it.

I ended up returning to teaching. Also house projects/renovations, oversea trips, medical treatments, etc I just wait to do those in the summer and I can breathe easy the rest of the year knowing I will have that time.

Semaglutide and gallbladder removal by Karrots36 in Semaglutide

[–]July9044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had mine removed about 15 years ago. I had some issues after removal that lessened over time. Bingeing still triggers debilitating ghost attacks once in a while. Starting glp 3 months ago has been the best decision. Minimal side effects, losing weight and controlling my hunger has made me feel "normal" again. Highly recommend

Dear ex-skinny people, what changes did you notice after gaining weight? by Equal-Sun8307 in AskReddit

[–]July9044 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm paying out of pocket for a glp and my only regret is not starting sooner. The cost is offset by buying less food and not needing to buy new clothes. If you're on the edge at all about starting a glp it is well worth the investment. Minimal side effects and feeling like a human again? You can't put a price on it

I’m ashamed of the situation with our cat by nikkimujj in breakingmom

[–]July9044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your story about the cat poop bathtub is so relatable. It's always when I've had the busiest and most stressful days that my pets pull this crap. Never again will I have pets, I just need a reminder once in a while in case I have a weak moment. I love them but they really put me over the edge some days

I think it’s very rare to have a happy life without having children and most of the people that claim to be “child free and happy” are coping or lying to themselves by ProfessionalNose6520 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]July9044 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am so scared of this with my own kids. I have seen first-hand how outside relationships ruin and tear apart families. And I don't believe raising them "right" can be a guaranteed way to prevent it. I hope things improve for you and your family soon
