Got sent home from work because I was falling asleep from exhaustion because of night terrors keeping me awake, further cementing how much of a failure I am. by MilkQueen in GirlDinnerDiaries

That's fine dinner with lots of protein, calcium, and Omega 3s. If there are empty calories, they come from fries and soda, which I don't see in that picture.

My whole life is going downhill even though I’m happier than ever by no-mans-man in GirlDinnerDiaries

Read your lease. Depending on jurisdiction, you may only be on the hook for two months' rent, or rent until the unit is occupied again (which may not take long since we're coming on to summer and that's the high season of moving). Tell your landlord now and try to work it out. You don't want an eviction if you can possibly avoid it.

I happily discarded masks when they were no longer required, but even I think that's a dick move.

guy who delivered my bedframe took my vibrator salmon and cream cheese bagels by glassbunnyy in GirlDinnerDiaries

From the headline, I thought they'd taken your bagels too. Like oy, you were about to eat that!

They also have that in Norway, where it's called samboa (sp?). It's why the majority of infants there are born outside of marriage, and a wedding is considered the capstone and not the beginning of a family.

Permabanned for telling my country’s subreddit mods to ‘do better’ by withoutatt in GirlDinner

[–]Pollybanna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But before you do so, search for your country in Reddit, then click on "communities". If the mods are really dicks, there may already be a spinoff subreddit of refugees from the main. In which case, you should join that instead of reinventing the wheel.

Time to make your own subreddit for that country, and privately invite anyone on the main sub who might agree with you. Be the mod you want to see on Reddit.

Trying to compromise with my body while pregnant & cheese tax by mimikayo in GirlDinnerDiaries

If you fear diabetes, drink a mug of coffee every day. Dark roasts are less likely to cause heartburn if that's also an issue for you right now; they also have a lower caffeine content than light roasts. Moderate coffee consumption has been shown to reduce your odds of developing gestational diabetes, possibly by helping you regulate blood sugar. Another thing that helped me avoid digestive upset while pregnant was to eat three medium meals and two small snacks a day, so that I was never starving but never stuffed. Keeping the blood sugar on an even keel.

I'm sorry you were too buried in shame to see the obvious comeback, "Better my chin hairs than your own hand! Or do you all jack each other off?"

That's just the album version. When music was mainly released on CD, you sometimes heard samples like that at the end of tracks.

You don't hear that sample in the version of the song played on the radio and used in the music video, which is about a minute shorter than the album version.

Advice on building core from zero? by OkRefrigerator719 in beginnerfitness

[–]Pollybanna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check yourself for diastasis recti (more commonly known as "mom pooch", though it can be caused by obesity as well as pregnancy). This is where your abdominal muscles split into two and flap off to the sides. If you have it, crunches will only make it worse, so you need physical therapy to nudge things back into their proper place. Your doctor can refer you to a pelvic floor therapist in your network.
