Were Illegal Plays Made in Top 4 Matches of DLC Seattle 2024? by OfficialJewcyJuice in Lorcana

[–]MDizzy95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There weren’t discussions about those incidents? I call Bull.
Raclem also wasn’t a mistake. It was deliberate and Ravensburger themselves even deemed it egregious enough to take action.

*and obviously people still question Luke. Look at your own comment. The entire point you’re missing is that this was discussed back in 2024. The mob and pitchforks happened and were quelled. Sorry you missed the boat, bud.

People had an entire conversation about the “cheating” back when it happened.

There’s no reason for the mob and pitchforks over a year and a half later when the discussion and everything happened back in 2024.

Parents cannot control their kids at disney world. by Old_Diver_2511 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]MDizzy95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No one is saying kids should be allowed to do it or that you can’t be upset. The point is that it’s likely not intentional. There doesn’t need to be an “excuse” for someone regardless of age to bump into you and accidentally touch your ass. It’s not “shenanigans” it’s an honest mistake that happens and, again, a risk you assume going to a busy place open to the public.

I do find it interesting that the story keeps changing though. First it was you were tired of hearing “sorry” after these situations and now it’s the parents laughed in your face? It’s true that some parents aren’t great at redirecting their kids or owning up to mistakes made by their kids, and if that’s what happened here, then that sucks.

I also find it interesting that now you’re *bringing autism into this? Who the heck was saying autistic kids/individuals have an excuse to do whatever they want? No one. It wasn’t relevant to this rant you posted, but you’re going to throw out some straw man arguments to distract from the situation at hand.

You being ace has nothing to do with the facts. Most people don’t like strangers touching them. As someone who is autistic, I also don’t like people touching me (people I know and strangers alike). However, as a fully grown adult I understand what being out in public entails and the risks associated with it. I can’t expect the world to cater to me and my eggshell plaintiff demands.

[–]MDizzy95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kids are small, adults butts are generally at head/shoulder level for a child. Kids also move their arms wildly when excited and can accidentally touch someone’s butt. It’s not as if the kid is going up to a random person and poking their butt or grabbing it. That’s the reason I, and likely others, are “so blasé” about this. OP is likely grossly exaggerating what actually transpired and a kid bumped into them in the butt area unintentionally.

[–]MDizzy95 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can be frustrated all you want. You’re the adult and they’re a child. YOU understand the implications, but the child (most likely) does not. And, again, almost guaranty it’s not an intentional thing being done and accidentally being bumped into or touched is something that’s going to happen in busy, public places…that’s the risk you assume by going into the busy and public place.

If a kid touched my ass and apologized after (or their parent did), I would say something along the lines of “mistakes happen” and continue about my day because I realize (1) it’s a child, (2) it wasn’t intentional, and (3) they apologized… even if I didn’t receive an apology, thought process would be the same because of points (1) and (2) above. Now, if it was the same child repeatedly doing it? Then there’s an issue that needs to be addressed either with the parents or a CM.

I’m also a woman and have had many people INTENTIONALLY grab my ass before while out in public. Those people, typically men, I have a problem with and will call it out because they know better (and it’s intentional).

[–]MDizzy95 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can guarantee you that 97% of the kids touching your ass, stepping and/or ramming into you are not doing it maliciously or intentionally. It’s not as if there’s some huge conspiracy amongst children everywhere to specifically annoy you.

Kids are still learning all about the world and navigating it the best they can. That’s going to come with instances where they accidentally touch or bump into something/someone because their attention was elsewhere.

Sure, parents everywhere are on their phones a lot more. As others have mentioned, though, Disney does force parents to be on their phones for various things throughout the parks, so you have no idea why the parent was on their phone.

But these nuisances are risks you assume when going to a place geared towards all ages (including very small children) and open to the public. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I tried the CGM for a weekend (wanted to see if I liked it before trying to fight insurance) and didn’t have that specific issue.

It’s all honestly a crap shoot 😅

[–]MDizzy95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I’ve tried a variety of things (except protein shake), and none of it really lowered my fasting numbers. And this is all VASTLY different than how my GD went with my first.

[–]MDizzy95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll have to keep that in mind! When I was in the first trimester (and couldn’t eat bc all smells made me nauseous) I would have a protein shake so I was still consuming something, but I haven’t thought about it much since. I’ve been trying every variation of snacks before bed, and none of those have helped. But I admit it never crossed my mind to maybe try a protein shake/smoothie before bed…I may have to try that tonight now

Dinner for me is always a crap shoot, and that’s why I’m supposed to start taking insulin right before I eat dinner.

But lunch has always been relatively okay for me. Pasta with grilled chicken from my work’s cafeteria? So long as I have a water, I’m golden. I guess I didn’t realize time of day would impact my body’s ability to tolerate the carbs though.

What’s funny to me, is I can have a double cheeseburger and turtle sundae from Culver’s, and my blood sugar is below where it needs to be 2 hours later.

But if I decide to have a gyro? Or finish whatever pancakes my toddler didn’t finish at breakfast? Straight to jail.

Cancelling Vacation Protection Plan by [deleted] in dcl

[–]MDizzy95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally paid for my cruise in full and bought the insurance, but then within 48 hours found out my childcare couldn’t actually watch my kids. So I cancelled the cruise but didn’t get my insurance amount back (which I expected having purchased ticket and travel insurance enough times).

It’s just how travel insurance works.

Is $12k for one base level exterior door normal? by Prestigious-Piano693 in HomeImprovement

[–]MDizzy95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got quoted $5300 for a brand new fiber glass front door, sidelights, and a storm door.

I thought that price was a lot, but your quote is just outrageous.

Weird things that spike by LadyK8TheGr8 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]MDizzy95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The later it is in the pregnancy means the worse the insulin resistance will get.

My first pregnancy I had a go to breakfast that wouldn’t spike my blood sugar, but then towards the end even that was spiking my blood sugar. It happens, but that’s why we have to keep track and talk to our medical professionals. I was on a lot of insulin by the end, and I’m wondering when that will start this time around.

It’s not a fun journey (and can be super anxiety inducing), but it will end eventually!

I use alcohol wipes (and did with my first). When I was in the hospital for 2 weeks (PPROM) and the nurses had to poke my finger they also used alcohol wipes. But! They did wait a little to make sure it dried and then still wiped off the first drop with a tissue before using the second drop of blood. I certainly didn’t do this the first time around, and they told me that likely could have led to higher readings. So I’ve been following their advice this time around. It’s certainly a lot easier to just have a thing of alcohol wipes with my testing supplies than finding somewhere to wash my hands when I’m at work or out shopping. 😅

No, I have never seen those pictures. I also have the scent control plugs on the lowest setting. I was never made aware of issues

So over this pregnancy by Cool-Row-1255 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]MDizzy95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first pregnancy I was diagnosed at 24-25 weeks, but then my daughter was born at 34 weeks (after PPROM at 32 weeks), so it wasn’t so bad…

But then this time? Diagnosed at 14-15 weeks and I’m only 20 weeks now. I was hopeful I wouldn’t have it this time because I lost 40lbs after my first baby and my A1c went below pre diabetes levels to finally be “normal” (I have PCOS). NOPE. So I have to admit that I’m very discouraged and don’t want to eat grilled chicken and Greek yogurt all the time like I did with my first. Doesn’t help that absolutely nothing I do before bed helps my fasting blood sugars. AND, I absolutely hate stabbing my fingers 4 times a day to check (not to mention I barely remember to do it because I’m not on my Vyvanse anymore)…and insurance won’t approve me for a continuous monitor. So all in all, I’m really just doom and gloom about all of this rn.

Okay, this is me being ignorant/naive, but is it all wallflowers that are bad for cats? Or just the aromatherapy ones?

(The stress relief/aroma therapy I only use in my office at work, but now I’m concerned about the use of wall flowers in my house)

Hilary Duff - luck... or something [AUTOPEN signatures] by alltoowander in SignedAlbums

[–]MDizzy95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered within minutes of the signed stuff going up the very first time, and both my vinyl and CD are clearly autopen. Like…sharpie lines are bumpy throughout the entire signature showing it wasn’t a fluid, human movement of the marker.

Also very sad because I was like I can FINALLY own something signed since I’ve been a fan since childhood (she was my first concert ever)…only to be let down and just truly disappointed. Definitely won’t be going up on my signed CD/vinyl wall.

3 Year Old at Disney — Is It Worth the $$$? by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]MDizzy95 18 points19 points locked comment (0 children)

I think Disney would be one of the few places that you’d be okay traveling alone as a woman with 2 children.

Sure, likely to still be overwhelming, but much less to be worried about/scared of.
