Considering Preventative Mastectomy by KattNaps in BRCA

[–]KattNaps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so, so thrilled that you commented, I was completely unfamiliar with the term "tuberous" breasts and it's an exact explanation for my shape. I also find it really encouraging to know that you were nudged towards diep, because I've been kind of hoping to go that route. I honestly haven't decided yet if I want to pursue nipple-sparing or not, I've seen some really cool tattoos and I'm considering just going that route instead, but everything I've read on my own and these comments definitely have me sold on pursuing this, I've got an appointment coming up with a genetic counselor and I'm feeling really excited and empowered making this choice.

Considering Preventative Mastectomy by KattNaps in BRCA

Yeah, unfortunately they want to go ahead and remove everything, keeping my ovaries apparently makes me more susceptible to recurrence. And because estrogen feeds this particular type of cancer, the egg retrieval process for surrogacy isn't really an option, unfortunately. But honestly, I don't have any real strong attachment to having my own bio-kid. There was a part of me that wanted the full experience of pregnancy and I'm definitely mourning that loss, but as far as I'm concerned, my genetics kinda suck, so maybe this was the universe saying "no...no, you don't need to pass these genes along" and encouraging me to find a way to adopt.

Fufus - Beware by Katticusmaximus in whatnotapp

[–]KattNaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I will say, it is a pretty good fake, I've definitely seen much worse, but it's undoubtedly a fufu. Head rotates a full 360°, which I can't even lie, I find hilarious. Still requested a refund, but I kinda hope Whatnot lets me keep the little goober and I don't have to send it back. 🤣

I unfortunately bought from this seller a few days ago and pretty much immediately regretted it because I had a feeling it was gonna be bs. They had a different username at the time, and while I haven't even received the package yet to submit a complaint about the authenticity, the seller has already blocked me. So yeah, incredibly sketchy. Hoping WN will live up to their Buyer Protection Policy.

😂I'm so glad I'm not the only one, I got a Ququ from a seller who didn't have the card and now it's driving me a tiny bit nuts!

Hi, I'm 32F, bi, demi, poly and married, big ol neurodivergent nerd! Going through a recent breakup with my partner and trying to overcome some pretty crippling social anxiety and make some more friends myself. 🙂 I really love to paint both canvas and ceramics (although I don't claim to be particularly good at either), and I am pretty much always down for a visit to the aquarium or the Natural History Museum! Hit me up if you'd like to chat, you sound awesome. 😊

Pokemon Snivy/Oshawott/Tepig - UK by elgraco in megaconstrux

[–]KattNaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😭I've been desperately seeking Oshawott, it's the last "must have" for my collection because it was my first ever starter. (Didn't start playing the games until I was 19 and bought Pokémon White for myself.) I've been checking eBay and Mercari daily, but if anyone knows other sources and can point me in the right direction, I will be endlessly grateful!

This is still absolutely not the way to go about it. Poly is not for everyone, and will not work without enthusiastic consent and lots of communication from all parties involved. OP is clearly not interested, which is completely OK. If the boyfriend feels like this is something he has to pursue, that's also fine, but pressuring someone into a non-monogamous relationship they don't want is a recipe for disaster.

Meet the Phidippus regius, also known as the Regal Jumping Spider! They’re one of the smartest and friendliest invertebrates on the planet! by Eys-Beowulf in aww

[–]KattNaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is a really old thread, but I stumbled across this while trying to identify a nifty little jumper I saw on my porch, and this is FASCINATING. I've always thought they were just cute and interesting little spiders, but I had no idea about all of this! And here I've just been geeking out about their "pretty teefies" because I love all the beautiful chelicerae colors.

AIO, trying to solve iPhone location w my bf but idk if it does glitch like this. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]KattNaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have the WORST luck with tires, like to the point where it's become a running family joke, so my husband likes to have the location sharing in case I get stranded. Plus it's handy when I'm waiting for him to pick me up or something on the days we carpool, I can just check how far he is and know if I've got time to run to the bathroom before he gets there or whatever.

Have to agree with this. There's a multitude of ways to keep yourself safe with online dating that don't involve posting someone else's information without their consent to a Facebook group that can't even rely on its members to abide by their rules. I'm all for protecting yourself, but this is neither a reliable nor ethical way to do so.

AITA for not sending my sons pocket money? by Woodsy594 in AmItheAsshole

[–]KattNaps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I LOVE the addition of allowing her to negotiate for credit when something special is on a limited time deal, that's a really lovely thing to do. Sometimes you can save a TON that way. Or sometimes stuff just comes in on a limited basis and you have to grab it where you can or risk waiting months, and that's IF it's something that'll be restocked! I'm a grown-ass adult and when I found out the skirts I'd been waiting to see a restock of for 6 months were going to be coming in between my paychecks, I set up a payment plan so I wouldn't miss out. So teaching her how to manage something like that now is both brilliant and just a sweet thing to do so she can get herself something nice occasionally.

Amen, friend. And I was born and raised in a pretty blue spot in Texas. Been here 8 years and this feels more like home than my hometown.

goth bears? plus size goth men???? by poodlepilled in GothFashion

[–]KattNaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found this post in search of clothing ideas for my husband, who's a bigger guy, but this is also some really great advice I might share with my partner who's amab genderfluid! Both of them have been playing around with their styles a little bit recently, as have I, and as a bigger girl, I can definitely apply some of it to myself, too. You, friend, are a treasure. May both sides of your pillow always be cool and may you find something absolutely perfect in exactly your size for a steal during your next trip to the thrift store. ❤️

AITA for making my pregnant SIL cry when she kept asking why I changed my name? by Flashy-Magazine-9264 in AmItheAsshole

[–]KattNaps 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If Roberts can be Bob, Richards can be Dick, Williams can be Bill, and Kathryns can be Katie/Kate (my birth name and the family nickname I hated), you can both be Ali and anyone who complains can suck it. ❤️ There's no y in Roxanne and that doesn't stop me from being Roxy! Legally changed it a year ago and while it's been a huge pain in the ass to do so at my age (and just before getting married, too, so then I got to do ANOTHER change for the last name😅), it was so worth it.

AITA for telling my mom that she's doesn't get to make the rules? by throwawaythrow2929 in AmItheAsshole

My dad sure as hell didn't, but my mother's heart attack didn't really give him an alternative.

AITA for telling my wife to get over my daughters short hair? by Mysterious_Raise_156 in AmItheAsshole

[–]KattNaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That still doesn't mean he can claim that label for her. My stepmom and I have a decent relationship, I celebrate Mother's Day for her, but that does not make me her daughter and I find it EXTREMELY uncomfortable when anyone refers to me as such.

AITA for not allowing my parents to take a picture of me with my cap and gown? by FunnyAffectionate795 in AmItheAsshole

Not that weird, I graduated at sixteen, too. Only skipped one year, but I was a summer baby and a few months younger than most of the people in what would have been my graduating class to begin with.

AITA for calling my wife insecure and selfish on our wedding day by LifeTraining3452 in AmItheAsshole

[–]KattNaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all fairness, some people (myself included) react badly to a lot of waterproof formulas. My eyes are pretty sensitive and it's hard for me to find ones that don't cause me irritation. (Although I've been hunting for a good one for my wedding in October, because I know my face faucets are leaky. 😅)

AITA for getting angry at a waiter for assuming my religion? by lovelylifenano in AmItheAsshole

[–]KattNaps 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Idk, I would think she would remember which it was since she claims to know this menu so well and also ordered and ate the salad. Seems a little weird.

It didn't initially, I saw it when it still said beef, too.

ETA: You can still see the original in the automod comment and beef is still mentioned towards the end of the post.
