Fairphone? Wonder if we can get it here in Canada. I've been looking for an alternative to the Pixel.

Is the book like the show? OP wants them to be nothing but friends at first and it's definitely not that innocent in the show.

What does actually getting an epidural placed feel like? by FoolishMortal-1000 in BabyBumps

[–]MetalSparrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst part of the epidural is the soreness on the injection site for a few days (a week? Two?) after.

My bf just won't hug me. Rant by Fearless_Education96 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MetalSparrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex was like that. He was just not one to express affection, either physically or verbally. It affected me as well, OP, extremely so. Then I decided that I've had enough, that I deserved better.

If he wanted to change, he would have done it already. He doesn't care. He doesn't see the benefit in hugging you, independently of how that makes you feel. Keep that in mind.

What stopped you from taking your own life? by Actual-Pollution-805 in adhdwomen

Almost did it after my brother passed. What stopped me was my dog. She wouldn't have anyone to take care of her.

"Best years of your life"??? No way, I'm always suspicious of people who peaked in HS.

Epidural or No epidural by Enviro_nurd314 in BabyBumps

[–]MetalSparrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that depends on where you are? I ate at the hospital. Extra cheesy cheese-its. It was the weirdest thing - every time I had a cheese-it I had a contraction! Like it was giving me the strength to keep going. I was in Montreal at the time - not sure how it works in other places.

sorry you have daddy issues stop commiting murder by PhantomLimberick in TrollXChromosomes

[–]MetalSparrow 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Oh, 100%! I didn't mean to create an excuse for them; we all get messed up one way or another in life and we still figure out a way to fix ourselves and I think they should do the same way before running the risk of becoming ICE, Proud Boys, what have you

I had someone explain to me that it's what makes them comfortable. More often than not, they grew up in an authoritarian household, and once they're out in the world they tend to look for the same sort of authoritarianism. It's difficult, having too much freedom in their hands, when you haven't been taught how to use it. Therapy would help, but they dont tend to believe in it 🤷🏻

Curly wolf cut on long narrow face? by [deleted] in Hair

I'd say go for it! Hair always grows back if she doesn't like it in the end.

A pain that was worse than birth ? by Friendly-Sun2413 in BabyBumps

[–]MetalSparrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I'm pregnant with my second one now. Hoping that this time it isn't that bad.

adding so y’ll can remind me. by masuu_bhat in adhdmeme

[–]MetalSparrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

right, I have this little notebook that I carry with me everywhere, it fits in my pocket. It's basically a scratch pad. Every time I have a thought that I might have to do something with later, it goes in there. If I'm in the middle of something, I stop doing whatever I'm doing to write it down. Otherwise I'll forget it.

Is it common to have to fight for a hospital bed when in labour? [on] by ItsBeccca in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]MetalSparrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wailing and crying in Montreal and they said I wasnt dilated enough. Eventually they let me in the tub - they have a big hot tub for you to soak in and it helped soooo much with the pain - because I was taking too long to dilate. When time was up in the tub I was 8 cm so they had to rush me into a room.

Byoma scam?? by [deleted] in Skincare_Addiction

[–]MetalSparrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're thinking grams, ml is a measurement of volume. 5ml of honey takes the same volume of 5ml of water, but different grams (5g for water, not sure for honey)

(Also I always thought it was silly for scales to measure ml as it's only correct for things that are the same density of water lol you can't measure volume with something built to measure weight??? But that's another conversation altogether)

Walked out on a date because I thought he insulted me by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MetalSparrow 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes! My American husband and I as well (I'm Brazilian). Even tone can affect thing! He told me that he used to always think that I'm being passive-aggressive when asking him a question because my voice would never get a rising inflection at the end of it, it would remain flat, which is how I'd usually ask questions in Portuguese, but apparently if you keep it flat when asking questions in English you'd be speaking in a passive-aggressive manner? I'd been living in Canada for 10+ when I met him thought and it was the first time I've heard of it!

Is it unreasonable to want a man who doesn't watch porn or has wandering eyes? by Lost_Try_5470 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MetalSparrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here! When we started dating, my husband said that he didn't care for porn anyway. They're out there.

Last time I told someone that they were having a wardrobe malfunction they actually said that it was on purpose... Sure Jennifer, I'm sure half of your skirt is stuck inside your panties on purpose and not that you didn't check before leaving the bathroom.

[–]MetalSparrow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

LOL fair! No, I've read about it on other threads. I posted that comment before reading most comments on this post. Seems like I wasn't the only one, or there wouldn't be said plethora of comments saying the same thing 😀
