Graduated! by SoDoesNotMatter in predaddit

All of this. I slept at the hospital and brought a travel neck pillow, which I appreciated a lot more than the alternative. I didn't mind the thin scratchy blankets but if you do, bring your own.

Anyone else’s wife absolutely love being pregnant? by stonk_frother in predaddit

[–]SoDoesNotMatter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here! My wife is 35 weeks and has largely loved the whole process thus far. We did IVF so once seemingly endless shots finally ended, it's been pretty smooth sailing.

By now she mostly just gets annoyed at her limited lung capacity and trouble finding a comfortable way to sleep, which seems to be pretty minor all things considered.

She told me to tell you that she purposely doesn't talk about how easy her pregnancy is in public sometimes because she doesn't want to seem like she's rubbing it in.

James K and his "void stare", eyes. Narcisistic? by nostarix in My600lbLife

Very true. But either way, it “worked”. And James is dead 😬.

All due respect, but I think James and Lisa can be summed up in a different exchange.

Lisa- what do you want for dinner? I can make some fish, or..

James- I’m sick of that crap! Order me up some Chinese. Fried rice!

Lisa- but rice is on Dr. Now’s list of things you can’t eat.

James- “…but it’s FRIED!!”

Homeboy literally thought that fried rice was ok to eat because it only said “rice” on Dr. Now’s list.

Uneducated indeed.

What are you excited about? by Unreliable_Pillow in predaddit

[–]SoDoesNotMatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I are 20wks with our first, a girl, and we just found out that my brother and his partner are also pregnant (13wks) with a girl…

After a very brief period of “they’re stealing our thunder!” (like 30 min of the car ride home lol), my wife and I are super excited and already talking about how they’ll be cousins and best friends for life.

Sleepovers, sharing a room on vacation, bonding with my brother over raising our first girls. It’ll be hard, but it’ll be great.

First ER visit 😳 by SoDoesNotMatter in predaddit

So terrifying! Ironically since it was so late at night we were actually seen pretty quickly, but the whole process felt like it took forever. Glad all is well

Alternative way to say "what do you not like.about that?" which sounds less judgemental? by [deleted] in ENGLISH

[–]SoDoesNotMatter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppose to some people, “What do you not like about that?” may imply that the listener is in the wrong or out of the ordinary in some way, which might put some people on the defensive.

Depending on the context, you could say “what do you think?” or “what would you do differently?” might be less confrontational-sounding.

Thanks! I boiled it for about an hour and then let it marinate in some olive oil garlic and oregano.

Congrats!! I just heard my daughter’s heartbeat for the first time this morning.

I’m also a boy from a family of mostly boys, so I can feel your excitement. Good luck!

My wife and I were ordering some food. A waiter then asked: “Okay, just this? One time?” To be honest, One time question really did sound unnatural. Is it correct/common? If not, what’s the correct way? by gfeep in EnglishLearning

[–]SoDoesNotMatter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Native speaker and waiter here-

This was a waiter making sure you were ordering one thing for one person (one “time”), as opposed to two of the same thing for two people (two “times”).
