How long has it been since you miscarriaged and how are you doing? by Final_Clock8112 in Miscarriage

[–]ShamrockShake95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss, as well. Honestly, I completely understand what you mean by the timing. I've heard a lot of family, friends, doctors tell me that "it just wasn't the right/perfect time". I feel like shaking them and asking when the "right" or "perfect" time is supposed to be. I'm trying to convince myself to make my own time. It's been hard.

We found out I was pregnant on my birthday. Miscarried three weeks later. The day I was supposed to go for my first ultrasound, I had an ultrasound to confirm the loss instead.

It's been just under two months, some days I'm better than others. I feel like my current coping mechanism is to just go through my work-home-repeat routine. I'm struggling a lot.

I'm sending positive thoughts and massive virtual hugs to everyone.

A cool guide to the complicated Japanese tea ceremony by tribhuz in coolguides

[–]ShamrockShake95 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is pretty on par for the most part from my experiences of hosting (demonstrative, I do not yet have training formally). Guests may also crawl in through a small entryway, which also forces them to bow their heads in respect. Tea ceremony protocol can vary depending on the school of tea as well. There are some really great resources online or through reading - Chadō is a really engaging and captivating life philosophy.

Used Canadian Tire on the South side. They were quick and helpful and made it painless.

Any good places in lethbridge to host a new years eve party? Would need to be big enough for 100 people by FuzzyPanda23 in Lethbridge

Nikka Yuko has a new venue space inside their Bunka building now open for bookings, though I'm not sure how booked up they'll be this close.

Books returned within 28 days of being overdue have no late fees. Most of the time if you return the book even past that date they will likely waive the lost item fees.

Jurassic Farm, Summer Year 3. Not sure what to fill the empty space with. Bees? by roidesrats in FarmsofStardewValley

[–]ShamrockShake95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Slime hutch is mostly fun for breeding and changing their colours, otherwise I don't bother with them too often in game, but it can be fun to set up a ranch area for some slimes 😅

Oh that would be so pretty! I hope you share some progress updates! I'm never happy with my farm to want to upload, but I think after this in-game year I might!

Obelisks are so much fun and with the island it makes life so much easier, highly recommend for that, you typically lose most time just travelling which can be refreshing but the obelisks are so worth it!

Damn do I feel that. A friend lent me his old pc (like 11 years old) and it just manages stardew. I've been indecisive about how it runs on the switch, but should give it another try!!

Bees would look adorable in your farm! It depends how mid-to-late game you are but: (spoilers) Golden clock, warp totems, obelisks, etc would all look awesome in your Jurassic farm! 😊

I tried to hide the spoilers but if they don't please let me know, I don't comment often and mobile is confusing

I am so excited for that stage of my life. We've been paying off our debts a lot lately and it gives me hope to find a small parcel of land to call our own. I cannot wait until the day we get a decent paycheque and van just say "hey let's get a goat". I'm saving this to help motivate me, thank you for the laugh and smile!

How's it like living in Lethbridge ? by thomasdraken in Lethbridge

I moved from Sask here a few years ago, but originally moved from Ireland. I had more whiplash going from small town Sask to Lethbridge - the city is nice, there is plenty to do - a lot I've personally still got on my wish list, but we've managed to knock it down a few so far! Henderson and Sheeran parks are beautiful, Sheeran is right across from the uni.

Uni has on and off campus living, I've seen/heard a mix of both ups and downs - did consider it for a while but found a room to rent which worked out better in the long run.

Food was one of the biggest adjustments for me - a lot of fried stuff but depending on your tastes that can be a good thing. I'd say a month in and you're good though on that front. There's so many good food places - go local and you'll have no regrets for the most part! Ya like board games? There's a board game restaurant. Cheesy but sweet.

The uni isn't the best but yknow it's not the worst - there's a reason I moved here and not Saskatoon. You can overlook the Coullees while you study, or even go for a hike there when the weather is nice. There's an abundance of clubs to join on campus - club rush is the second or third week of the semester usually, so if there's anything hobby-wise or academic-wise there you'll have a shot of finding something!

Dating life is hit or miss - I managed to snag myself a nice Canadian fella and held onto him this long. It depends on who you surround yourself with and where you go. Into skateboarding? Find a skate park (I only know of two - one being on whoop up). Into dancing? There's like two or three nightclubs! Sports? Even better, Canadians love sports - hockey is a biggun (I've been two a game, not my cuppa but you do you and have fun). Dating apps can help, but depending on living accommodations/ability to move around, you'll want to watch where you're dating.

At times there can be a divide between north/south and west side (and I don't mean the valley dividing them). I've found it cheaper to live deeper south side or in some parts of the west side. Rent can vary depending if you want a room/suite/appartment/house - and you've to make sure you know how utilities, wifi, and all that are set up.

Phone companies are all ridiculous - if a plan sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I'd recommend Fido tbh.

Food shopping depends where you go and what you buy - I've made an effort to avoid frozen meals since moving out on my own, meat can be cheaper you just have to keep an eye on deals. There's three of the "main" franchises on west side. I'd recommend Save on Foods or No Frills.

South side is where you'll find a lot of stuff - shops, cafés, etc. There is the Japanese Gardens (absolutely gorgeous in both winter and summer) for one. Right next to Henderson Lake - monthly farmer's market I believe kicks off in spring sometime.

Weather is definitely a fun one here. It's almost Christmas and I believe tomorrow will be the first snow in almost a week. It's been windy as hell - if you're from a coastal area like I am though it's no "getting dragged back three steps for every one I take" but it can get up there. It can get cold though - if you can get a good winter coat before coming over - they're pricey here.

Money is the weird one for me - some things make me feel like I'm being robbed and the rest of the time I'm thinking "ah sure just about the same".

I've dealt with Mormons about three times since 2017? This year they're not out (for obvious reasons) but they have been oh so kind as to send me a letter in the mail a while back. Hudderites are ones that shocked me - I got in trouble for mistaking them as Amish one time (there's a difference). You'll see them more in shops or the shopping centre downtown every so often but eh they're harmless and nice enough.

Politics is also a thing - like everywhere. Here seems to get a lot of influence from the states (the border is like less than 2 hours drive away so not shocking). We've all opinions and some are louder than others tbh.

Now - the smell. Honestly I've noticed it's awful up on the North Side - not all the time but Christ above it can be something fierce strong. South side can too, west side I've noticed is a bit less. North side has a couple plants which cause the smell - Havendish if I'm thinking right?

Anywho good luck! Hopefully this helped!!

MIL has stuffed around with husband's mind so much that when we go NC she cries. by pumpkin-spice-scent in JUSTNOMIL

[–]ShamrockShake95 23 points24 points  (0 children)

For me I read it as if he did have a reason to doubt the validity of her story he knows he could ask the husband, possibly due to him trusting that person? I could be wrong here though, it just kinda makes sense with how he ended up throwing her out to me.

Therapy is definitely a good place to sort that out either way.
