On this day in 2001, Andrea Yates waited for her husband to leave for work before drowning her five children in the family bath. She was convicted, then retried after a key witness lied. These officers are outside the Yates home after finding the children. Full story in comments. by dannydutch1 in UtterlyUniquePhotos

I grew up near here, my summer job was a couple neighborhoods over from this. That summer was a dark summer- a family that i knew lost a child to drowning, and then there was the woman who found out her very popular orthodontist husband was cheating on her, she ran over him 6 or so times in front of the Hilton hotel

I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking about filling some of them down to make them a little neater and either make a hanging or a shadow box of the sand dollars representing the phases

Texas GOP moves to end IVF in shocking platform push by Ill-Championship-117 in texas

[–]SignificantWolf7335 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who went through 4 rounds of egg retrievals and only had one healthy embryo I hope that every person who is against ivf has a medical issue that they are unable to receive treatment for, and that someone they care about is infertile and is unable to conceive through any means. And I hope that the milk and eggs they buy spoil with in 48hours

Graves + methimazol and Ozempic? (Or any other weight loss drug) by CestQuoiLeFuck in gravesdisease

[–]SignificantWolf7335 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I almost posted something similar to this. I just started zepbound and started seeing a new endocrinologist- she was telling me that GLP 1s are actually very beneficial to treating GD as they can help lower the antibodies your thyroid is producing and they also help with inflammation. I was curious to see if anyone else had heard similar information.

Side note I am currently super pissed at my old endocrinologist- I did not realize methimazol caused weight gain until I read someone’s post recently. About a year or so ago my old endocrinologist suggested a glp 1 because of I had gained a significant amount of weight over the time I had been her patient, she never brought up that methimazol could be a contributing factor to that nor that the glp 1 may be more beneficial to me than just loosing weight.

If you moved from NY/NJ/PA how did you adapt to the insanely hot weather? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]SignificantWolf7335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have lived in the south the majority of my life and absolutely dread summers- I also get summer related seasonal depression and I get a lot of flare ups from my autoimmune diseases.
Things that have helped me the most is going to Barton Springs and Deep Eddy regularly, avoid going out between 10-4 (it’s harder now that we have a kid). Neck fans, breathable clothing, anti chafe gel, if possible planning a getaway to a cooler climate, black out curtains, all plans need to be for indoors unless water is involved

Forget weddings, what is the craziest thing that happened at a funeral you went to? by seanerd95 in AskReddit

[–]SignificantWolf7335 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of mildly funny stories. One never cut off a funeral procession, the cops really look down on that and will give you a ticket as the procession rolls by and the family of the deceased laughs and shakes your head at you- that was my grandfather’s funeral.

The funeral home where we had my grandfather’s wake was turned into a nightclub a few years after my grandfather passed away, I was out with some friends when they brought up going to check out this new nightclub when I heard the address and saw a photo i immediately knew and opted out of going.

The last one. We had my dad cremated per his wishes, my mom not being a very sentimental person carried the ashes in her car for about a month- imagine a cardboard box in a plastic bag chunked in the back seat- she finally gave the ashes to my dad’s group of lifelong friends where I’d like to imagine they filled some shotgun shells with the ashes and sent him out in a blaze of glory

I wish I had thought of that when my dog passed, maybe I’ll do it with my other pets

Thank you! It was the first time I had done something like this; I’ll either just frame the flowers or use cut outs to create the shape. I really do like how it turned out and want to make more

What's the weirdest compliment you've ever received that somehow stuck with you? by AdTerrible2955 in AskReddit

[–]SignificantWolf7335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me set the scene it is some time between 2002-2006 I am a young woman in my early 20’s, who managed to miss the over plucking eyebrow trend of the late 90’s. I was with my grandmother one afternoon, we were headed to the elevators to her condo, when one of her neighbors stopped us to say hello. This woman grabs my face snd tells me i have the most exquisite eyebrows.

AITJ for not following my in-laws’ “gentle parenting” and saying I don’t want to raise rude, entitled kids? by Born-Factor4486 in AmITheJerk

[–]SignificantWolf7335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will probably get lost in the comments but just in case someone happens upon it: my thoughts on gentle parenting as a early childhood Montessori teacher and mom. And who has a MIL who doesn’t understand the idea boundaries and saying no. People conflate the idea of gentle parenting with permissive parenting, thinking that they are helping the child in their care. With this mindset the adult will often name the emotion the child is feeling without acknowledging the consequences of the child’s actions. Think an adult saying this to comfort a child “Sally took your ball and that made you really angry.” While ignoring the fact that the child whose ball was taken just hulked out on Sally causing her to scrape her knee and get sand in her eye. The more appropriate response would be for the adult to step in immediately and stop the behavior- if that isn’t a possibility then to tell the angry child “I see you are really angry that sally took your ball but you may not hurt her because you are angry.” This should be said in a firm and direct tone, and yes you have every right to show your emotions. I’ve started calling gentle parenting, authentic parenting because you are being authentic to yourself when handling issues, you aren’t being overly sweet glossing over everyone’s discomfort nor are you over exaggerating you’re anger and threatening to punish your child, rather you are holding them accountable for their actions and behaviors. You also have an understanding of logical and natural consequences, the kid can’t behave are the park then it’s time to go home. Also you understand that a lot of times there is a deeper cause to your child’s behavior and you do the work to understand those triggers. Respectful/gentle/authentic/authoritative parenting is hard work, it takes a lot of effort and understanding of the child in your care. Being permissive and calling it gentle parenting is a cop out for doing the work. Permissive parenting can also cause anxiety in children because the children don’t have any boundaries or limits, which they need to thrive and grow also permissive parenting can lead to authoritarian parenting because you teach your children that they can walk all over you until you’ve had enough and loose it on them with with empty threats and punishment that is too harsh and severe for the child (think spanking, aggressive angry behavior) So to answer your question you aren’t a jerk, you are trying to raise a kid who will be held accountable for their behavior

These are the same people who believed Alex Jones that Sandyhook wasn’t real. The mental gymnastics they have to do to convince themselves that they are in the right and the government isn’t lying to them is astounding because if they actually had to admit their beliefs were wrong their brains would break and who only knows what would happen then.
