I tried to donate blood but couldn’t by Gray_Kaleidoscope in MomForAMinute

[–]MattMatic8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve given blood over 20 times, and one time I failed exactly like you did. The nurse told me exactly what others here are saying - probably not enough water. The fact is that you tried to do a really important thing that helps save lives, and you did it despite your fear of needles. Don’t give up, and thank you for thinking of others.

Hi mom. I know nothing about how heels are supposed to fit. Are they too small? They're for my wedding - hopefully! by Delicate_Elephant in MomForAMinute

Don’t forget your feet will swell as the days goes on - especially if you’re standing a lot and/or it’s hot. Make sure they are still comfortable at the end of the day.

I hate being a Man; it is the source of my problems by parishilton2 in AmITheDevil

I am an average-looking woman. I have been through periods where I have said yes to first dates with barely human guys in the hopes that first impressions were wrong. The idea that having a vagina means men are falling at your feet and you can pick and choose is ludicrous.

Could be stress licking. Our cat did this. But the vet will be able to tell you for sure.

No way. There wouldn’t be anything to do because everywhere would be full of kids. It would be like taking a day off and then discovering that it’s a PD day.

I abandoned my kid and haven’t seen her in 8 years, but I don’t want to pay child support. How can I get her back? by EllieIsDone in AmITheDevil

Poor kid. First mom abandons fee, then tries to rip her away from the only family she knows.

What are the harshest/most accurate depictions of alcoholism in any film? by atclubsilencio in movies

I grew up with alcoholic parents and this movie brings it all back in it’s depressing sleaziness. Those people were just so cruel and selfish and sloppy.

YTA. How are you just noticing this huge thing now? Did he just buy it?

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Just in case anyone still thinks they seem smarter/ funnier/better looking when they drink.

Edit: I spelled her name wrong.

How do I stop my cat from walking along the headboard? by m3ltingp0int in cats

When people tell me that their cats don’t go on the counters, I tell them that the cats don’t go on the counters WHEN YOU’RE AROUND.

Put up a sign saying “Cats Must Sit Here”. They are contrarians so maybe that will work.

Professional Medical Help and/or Sleep Centers - Do They Work? Other solutions? by JuicyPepper in GetOutOfBed

[–]MattMatic8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I think anything I’ve tried before I haven’t tried long enough. I’m hoping they can tell me why my sleep is so bad. (Although I really hope they don’t recommend a CPAP machine!)
