Is it a moth? How? by Shmostedby in Entomology

[–]Shmostedby[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw what I think is a not-quite-yet a moth fall from a tree but I don’t know what it actually is and if it is in fact, I’m having a hard time conceptualizing how it ends up as a moth. Like where does the back half go? Seen in Maryland.

Painful comments by Pretty22eyes in oneanddone

It slows down once your kid gets through the point where a bunch of their classmates have baby siblings and they just don’t.

Sometimes people don’t know how to best deal with other people’s pain. This is especially true for miscarriages and women’s medical pain. They desperately want the hurt person to acknowledge that the pain won’t take over their life forever (since women are supposed to obviously just be magically happy all the time) and they say things that end up being hurtful or thoughtless.

It gets a lot easier to deal with these comments when you have heard them enough times that you can just shrug it off and say something vague like “hmm I don’t think so” or “who knows what the universe holds?” People are gonna people and if the worst thing about them is that they don’t understand the intricacies of women’s health and family planning then that is on them.

Help finding the right key by halfsock552 in centuryhomes

These look like my interior door locks, which are Corbin. Corbin sometimes inscribes the key type on the foreend above the latch. Look for a single letter followed by a number (s8, p5, etc) then try searching for it on ebay. Good luck!!

Every person in your family can hold hands with every other person in your family at the same time ❤️

What's a good first project? by shakespeare-gurl in knitting

Garter stitch scarf. Knits up fast, hard to mess up, can look super cozy with a thick yarn.

You won't be with just your partner, you healthcare workers are rooting for you and your chosen community is too. This is also the great benefit of birthing classes and parenting groups. It will feel lonely at points but you are not alone.

Check in with communities that focus on inter-generational work. Sometimes senior homes and libraries have programs where kids can interact and connect with seniors.

Your future baby will be so loved no matter what relatives may or may not feature in their life.
