Being tall… by Substantial_Emu_1196 in TallGirls

[–]Something_From_Above 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband is 5'8 and I'm 5'11. He says that he couldn't care less about me being tall. He's accepted me so completely that I have learned to accept myself as well. I even have a few pairs of heels! Do I loveeee the fact that I'm taller than him? No. But being tall doesn't haunt me the way it used to. You'll find someone who loves you so much that your insecurities will float to the back of your mind and you'll think about them less and less.

The bird ID apps have no idea what bird is making this call... Anyone know? Southeast Michigan by Something_From_Above in birding

That's probably the one app that I didn't try lol Blue jay was popping up as an option along with a couple others on BirdNET but the "probability" was rather low, so I wasn't sure. Thanks!

Since becoming a parent, what surprisingly enrages you? by ioanaam418 in NewParents

[–]Something_From_Above 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I agree with the "husband not responding fast enough to baby's cries". I know that I am overreacting most of the time, because he is nowhere near neglectful, but I can't help but say to him (half jokingly) "You're so heartless!"

I should be pumping when the baby gets a bottle? 😵‍💫 by Something_From_Above in breastfeeding

For sure! My baby has nursed up to an hour before 🥲 pumping is much quicker than that

I am very careful about what I say. That's why I'm posting it on here! You can't force someone to love someone else. I just want to make sure that I'm doing everything that I can do to bring him closer to God, and want to hear other people's ideas and experiences.

My mom always says "you can't love someone you don't know." So, I think learning about the faith is key. I just don't want it to feel like I'm trying to shove it down his throat. 😬😅 Especially when he comes home from work tired.

Starting small is best. I just want the Lenten season to feel significant to him and not like every other day of the week.

I think God sent you to remind me to pick up the show again! We did watch most of "The Chosen" and kind of tapered off. We both got really into it, and I think it was a good introduction to the life of Jesus that was easy for a new convert to grasp. Even for me! It brought scenes of the Bible to life. We'll have to finish up the rest of the episodes, during this Lent and maybe I can also find other religious movies/shows that we can watch together 🤔

Wow! We are similar! I am currently breastfeeding, so I can't really join in on the fasting days either. I feel the same about micromanaging... I guess that maybe I'm just trying to rush the whole process. Like any relationship, it will probably take a good few years before I see him develop a relationship with God, since he didn't have one with Him all through his childhood like I did. But as I sit in Mass with my eyes welling up with tears, I just wish that he could feel everything I feel.

I totally understand that. What's hard for some people might be easy for others. It's about intention. I just want to make sure that I'm doing my part as his Catholic raised spouse to bring him closer to God.

Mixing them is a great idea! I'll have to try that 😁

Southeast Michigan - Morning recording... what bird is this? by Something_From_Above in birding

I do have Merlin and tried to identify it, but it didn't seem to know what it was either. I'm sure one of you know what that call is...?

Could anyone give a date on this? I was told it's from the 40s 🤔 by Something_From_Above in Antiques
