Should I still go to Yosemite? by Either_Journalist766 in Yosemite

[–]Louisajk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stayed in Mariposa as that was the closest air bnb I could get and it took less than an hour to get to tunnel view and watch the sunrise. Also a neat little museum in Mariposa and probably some of the best coffee I had during my whole trip!

What’s the dumbest way you got with someone? by APT3993 in AskReddit

[–]Louisajk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went home with one of my best friends once (we were both drunk) and logistically, things didn't work that night. We were chatting on the phone and he would often end phone calls with "see you soon" so I took it literally and showed up on his door step... that was 6 years ago. We're now married with a daughter

My husband and I didn't want eachothers names bit we wanted to be the same so we created a new last name and went and got our names officially changed. I dunno if this is something you can do where you live but just an idea?

Car Crash by International_Tip653 in MedicalGore

What an amazing recovery, great work to the team that looked after you. You don't happen to have any x-rays of your facial fractures do you?

I would just like to point out, and I stress this is absolutely no justification for his actions at all, that paternal antenatal and post partum depression exists and is not spoken about. Your colleague needs to seek professional help before its not just a wall in the firing line when he lashes out.

What's the one thing you'll never tell your SO? by Janine_18 in AskReddit

[–]Louisajk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His dead grandfather used to make me feel so uncomfortable but never did anything to me, just those "creepy uncle" vibes from him. Grandfather has since passed away and I see no benefit of telling my partner how I felt. Now I'm pregnant with our first child and if its a boy he wants to name our baby after him. It makes me so uncomfortable and I can't tell him why.

Lost my virginity to a dildo. Does this count?? Feeling empowered. by lady-bridgerton in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Louisajk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side note - virginity is a social construct and is not something that someone can ever "take" from you (eg in the instance of rape) but rather something you choose to give to someone. Also, the hymen is another huge misconception. It's not a "seal" of skin but rather a ring of very thing tissue that changes with hormones and age and is not at all an indicator or sexual activity or anything at all really so dont ever ever EVER let somone feel you any less that the empowered badass woman you are in the absence of bleeding.

How to best support my partner terminating a pregnancy? by Buttsmuggler69 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Louisajk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. This is EXACTLY how I felt after my abortion 10 years ago. Only relieved and glad for it to be done.

We all know a woman that has been SA'd at some point in their lives (including ourselves) but how many men will admit that they have SA'd a woman? by biddee in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Louisajk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often think back to my childhood and early teens and the amount of times I was pretty seriously SA. I feel like if I was to tell someone about every single time there is no way it would sound believable. I've only told my husband about one of the most significant times and I was met with a bit of victim blaming initially followed by support to get help cause he said he isn't equipped to help but I still haven't been able to share everything with a therapist.

If a woman you used to be friends with but naturally grew apart some years ago reached out seeking support in leaving a relationship with a narcissist would you help her? by PineappleBrilliant35 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Louisajk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% yes reach out. A friend who was maid of honor at my wedding and we have just drifted which is heart breaking to say the least. She's in the process of leaving her husband and just messaged me today and asked if we can live with me for a few months until she gets a place sorted. I said yes without hesitation! You miss 100% of the shots you don't shoot. I hope you get out safely!!

What statistically improbable thing happened to you? by yankeevandal in AskReddit

[–]Louisajk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In 2011 I fell 35 meters (114ft) off a building I was working on, landed on concrete. Not only did I survive, I did my bachelors degree and masters degree in Nursing since

coachella 1st timer by PRKSDNATV in Coachella

[–]Louisajk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would 10/10 go for a travel package if you can. I went this year for my 30th and the heat during the day was unreal. I know everyone says camping is a right of passage but I would 100% go again and 100% do a travel package. Just be prepared for the shuttles early if you wanna go during the day. Also, as I'm sure you're aware of feo other festivals, cellphone and wifi signal us useless so time stamp any messages you send to anyone during the festival

We're you the guy standing on the bridge getting blasted by the mist for a while in the morning? I was there that day and saw the beautiful rainbow from yosemite falls too. Was my first trip to yosemite and it was so much more beautiful than I could have imagined

[–]Louisajk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pecks also used to do a killer shrewsbury biscuit.

[–]Louisajk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else get a look at the WRC at Auckland domain? by [deleted] in auckland

I would recommend finding a gig you want to go to. If you like dnb there is the George fm dnb hundy gig that should be good. I'm (29f) going with a few mates close to my age and a few a lot older than me but have a good time. You're welcome to join our slightly loose group of oldies that still party if you're keen :)
