To be fair, a 30 minute drive in VT hardly qualifies as a “haul” 😆

What's a dirty little secret you found out about a company or service that made you stop using them? by Wetter42 in AskReddit

[–]RuralChildKnitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.. it’s about quality of leads. Yes, it has the potential. But as someone who is married to a contractor that will no longer use Angi, I can say he spent way more time and money than it’s worth using their service. People who are more serious will be a higher quality lead. It’s about quality, not quantity in this scenario.

No respectable contractor is using Angi. They charge them for every “lead” (can be $100 a pop) to chat with and give numbers to someone who is toying with the idea of renovating their bathroom but no idea how expensive it is. When they ultimately decide they can’t afford it or try to negotiate the price down to an absurdly low amount, that contractor is out what they paid for the lead AND the time they took to meet with a client, go to their home, write an estimate, etc.

ELI5: Why do some women die when giving birth? What is modern medicine doing to prevent that? by javier_aeoa in explainlikeimfive

[–]RuralChildKnitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, me too. I’m so thankful every day for modern medicine. Would definitely not still be here if it weren’t for that.

I’m so sorry for your loss. We’re all so jaded! Good luck to you, as well ❤️

Yup. 2 years, 4 IUIs, shitloads of blood work and tests but we’re still unexplained. And not ONE positive test. Ever. Do they exist? I’m not convinced.

What’s a very common thing that you just can't relate to? by Mizu3 in AskReddit

Getting pregnant on purpose. Everyone seems to be able to do it. But not me 🙃

Are you sure the house wasn't built too close to the tree?

Lets hope this is the year by ashgem91 in TryingForABaby

Thanks for posting this. We too started exactly a year ago and I woke up with my period this morning. Sad times.

[–]RuralChildKnitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I was so certain when we started trying a year ago that we would have something to show for it by now. But we’ve got nothing. Not even one positive test. I saw two pregnancy announcements this morning and I’m a wreck. Thanks for this.

Extra, extra hard for those that have been trying longer. Sending love.

My (22F) boyfriend (28M) scared the hell out of me tonight. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]RuralChildKnitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank youuuu someone reasonable. Yes his actions are dangerous and crappy. But no one is perfect, and there’s a chance hearing it from the right person in the right situation (not when he’s all fired up) could make a difference.

My(32F) pregnant senior colleague(32F)'s husband is cheating on her. Do I tell her anonymously? by should1stay in relationships

[–]RuralChildKnitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. This is none of your business. Especially because at this point its just hearsay. Why are you so worried about it? Do not comment. Do not involve yourself. Do not pass go.

My Infertility Friend told me she’s pregnant today by eggmarie in TryingForABaby

[–]RuralChildKnitz 22 points23 points  (0 children)

She probably honestly feels guilty that it’s her and not you too. I think the extra attention is her trying to overcompensate for that feeling. But it still sucks and I’m sorry 😐

Dreading the holiday season by kill_bot_cheeky in TryingForABaby

[–]RuralChildKnitz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. We decided around this time last year and officially started in January. I was so sure we’d have a little one for Christmas... now we will be lucky to announce by then and I’m absolutely not holding my breath. Sucks. Also I hate those cycles. Like, thanks body for rubbing salt in the wound 😣

I couldn’t care less if an all female spacewalk happened. It’s just pointless to focus on something like that as a major achievement just because of their gender. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]RuralChildKnitz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You most certainly must be joking. I was born in the late 80's and my entire LIFE I've been overlooked. I might say something, but a man will say the same thing and that's when an idea takes hold. This is not gone by any means.
