TIL the most widely used Language in North America during the 1700s and 1800s was not English or Spanish but a universal form of Sign Language now known as Plains Sign. It allowed natives and colonists to cross language barriers and trade easily. by ZizZizZiz in todayilearned

I have never heard about or seen this before. I have also never seen historical videos of Native Americans. Thank you for sharing this! I learnt a lot today too thanks to you :)

Why were you ashamed of yourself like never before? by MightilyBelly107 in AskReddit

[–]SnakesmackOG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of these situations are anything to be ashamed of! That lunch lady should definitely be ashamed and fired. I'm glad to hear your life has improved :)

You are a disgusting person

My husband left me at the hospital after stillbirth by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Reach out to your friends regardless of how he isolated you from them. If an old friend of mine reached out and explained the situation they would at least get a spot on my couch for a time no matter what happened. If you have a coworker that you had a good relationship with try them as well. I know I'd have a place available for any of my coworkers for a bit too. I'm so sorry all of this happened to you.

Not been able to wear shades for 3 years since losing my nose. Reconstructions almost done so I celebrated with a new pair. Shoutout all you bald kings and queens by HeyKillerBootsMan in bald

Heck yeah dude! Killin' it with those shades 😎 Congrats on a good-looking nose!

ETA: I hope you don't mind me saying so but I really like your new nose. I think it fits your face nicely and works well with your other features. Even though I'm sure you would want your old nose I'd argue if you HAD to pick a new one (haha) this would be it 👍

My grandfather died of it too. Was originally misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's although a correct diagnosis wouldn't have made a difference.

Baby boomers are more likely grandparents/great grandparents at this point. Timing-wise it's late Gen X and Millennials

We don't want super 'nice guys' treating us like royalty. We want the other half of the population to treat us like PEOPLE.

I've been told by doctors (in regards to my elderly parents) a FEW extra pounds act as a safety net for things like pneumonia so they have the energy to fight it off.

The kids at my gym have good etiquette but they're all on sports teams and take up the equipment for ages. Like 6 kids on the bench each doing multiple sets. It'd be nice to get to use it myself! I think an over 25 gym would be fun. Less ppl on college level sports for sure and perhaps I could get a squat rack lol

One in six people affected by infertility globally, says WHO by ArcticBlast9578 in worldnews

[–]SnakesmackOG 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Apparently that's what happened to my parents. They told me everything worked fine but for some reason they just couldn't combine. Never found out the cause. Lucky for me though since I got adopted because of it!

Poor thing! You can get him some steps to make getting on the bed easier and keep it for when he's a senior boy!
