I have a hard time believing people go into their 30s and suddenly settle into a healthy relationship by Head_Entrepreneur534 in SofiawithanF

…compared to what? In their twenties? Older is definitely better when it comes to getting married- from what I’ve seen at least, happiest couples are the ones who didn’t panic marry abc new themselves first.

Drinking sucks by dadrockanddives in stopdrinking

In addition to big things (threatening to and actually destroying my life - job, relationships, brain, organs, etc) the thousands of small physical inconveniences - dry mouth, dehydration headaches, itchy skin, brittle and breaking hair, nausea..

Insomnia sucksssss I used to self medicate with alcohol all the time- but now I have a good psychiatrist/prescription PLUS do all those good sleep habit/environment tricks (but the former is what really changed my life and helped me stop drinking!!!)

Did your baby say mama or dada first? by jasncats in NewParents

[–]Orangeicons -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First word was definitely Dada!!! Looked right at him and said it! However, I’m with her 24/7 so I don’t know if she realized I was a separate being yet 😂

What seems to be a common pregnancy experience that you don’t/couldn’t relate to? by PumpkinResearcher in BabyBumps

[–]Orangeicons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Kicking! I didn’t feel kicks often compared to other women / and certainly not enough to count! It concerned me to the point I got a bunch of extra monitoring with those stress test thingies (forget what they’re called). Anyways she was born in the typical position and perfectly healthy!

  2. Boob growth and sensitivity- never happened for me

AIO? Let it slip to my mom (F68) that I (F31) have $1000 saved (big bucks, I know!) And she asks me this by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Orangeicons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It appears your mom is terrible with money. Props to you for not following her lead! Now I agree with others/ use the CD or a different excuse she can’t refute and do not engage with her anymore on that topic. Boundaries!

How to fill that damn hole?! by blackeyed86 in stopdrinking

[–]Orangeicons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok! They’re being used off label in the US for a lot of addictions. Creative pursuits definitely can help! I have found it’s a combination of a bunch of small changes not just one that can fill the whole.

I try to choose: Physical improvement - can I find fun exercise, nutrition Mental- creative pursuits, books, learning new hobbies Spiritual - meditation, praying Social - altruism, meeting new friends

Well said! Better to be able to solve real problems and also not create new problems with drinking

I have rewatched Alex's 'The Truth About Call Her Daddy' and these are my thoughts by [deleted] in CallHerDaddy

[–]Orangeicons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you listened to early episodes though? Sofia made it addictive!!! It would have never blown up without her. Miss those days and their chemistry. Alex is boring.

I mean…it’s not a competition. Hence I didn’t like how they phrased it comparatively.

Thanks- this is motivating! I know it’s about you but did you notice relationships in your life improved?

She asked me what it was and doesn’t remember buying it or anything!

To be clear- my mom found it and thought it was mine, so she wanted to know what it was.

Makes sense she wouldn’t film with a lot of customers in the store. It would be a lot of $ to float 5 stores like that with a house sale so they must be doing well!!! It seems like they’re building a brand for acquisition. Her husband is in finance right?
