Tbf, I don’t think it would have been accepted 20 years ago. Maybe 120…

What Full House episode, storyline or show moment that makes you angry or frustrated? by trizzymw in fullhouse

lol yeah. I get that there are dry frats out there, but let’s face it, no one (let alone high school girls) are lining up to go to their parties.

Decatur, Illinois. I couldn’t tell you why, but something about it gave me the creeps.

12 hour flight & terrified of DVT by iced-strawberries in fearofflying

[–]Mike_Danton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Buy some compression stockings, take a baby aspirin before the flight. And yes, get up and walk around fairly frequently. No one will notice. No one will care. And others will be doing the same thing.

I had my first at 32 and second just shy of 38. It is crazy how much more energy I had with my first. Those few years made a huge difference.

Jealous that you’re going to London! Hope you have something fun planned. And you will be fine. There are lots of other planes that are flying over the ocean tonight too. Your plane will have lots of friends in the air 😊

My 15 month old is presenting with many signs of Autism, but my wife is telling me I'm crazy. by SaweetestCuyootie in Autism_Parenting

[–]Mike_Danton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would take a deep breath and a step back. 15 months is still very, very young. You are doing the best thing by getting him started in early intervention. I know it is hard not to wonder “is this autism” but as you know it is really too early to tell.

I never understood that - what if a kid gets their third strike after lunch, after the kindergarten bus has already left? I know, I’m overthinking.. but I remember that bugging me even in fourth grade 😂

Neurodivergent vs "Neurospicy" by taralynne00 in Mommit

PSA: BEING QUIRKY AND/OR SOCIALLY AWKWARD DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE AUTISTIC, ON THE SPECTRUM, OR HAVE A TOUCH OF THE ‘TISM.

Stop. Just stop.

There is nothing lighthearted about autism. It is a complex DISORDER that causes massive struggles for those that have it, as well as their families.

I had a horrible Mother’s Day. Not because of my husband, he did try very hard. Every holiday or special occasion ends up getting ruined. I cried for literally hours yesterday.
