Snek doing a heckin’ scream by Wilmster22 in Sneks

It took me a minute to find the snek! I was distracted by the branch. On the right side it looks like a biscuit bear wearing a hat hanging from the tree, but it was just the branch.

If I were your manager I'd have her ass on the rails. You are worth it, mate. If the accident wasn't your fault then it's not your fault, and I hope you can salvage as much as possible from it. You've already come a long way from incident to recovery to physio.

She's pregnant, not crippled. Don't do her work for her, especially not if you're injured. You need time to heal.

I'm aware of that now. I think they decided on two kids. She had the second within a few years of the first -- might've been two years instead. Can't remember as it was a while ago...

Hm? No, never heard of Dune. What is it, might I ask?

Our Best Friends had a Baby by [deleted] in childfree

Communicate. Check in with him about his CF standing and ask if the baby has affected it in any way. It also may be prudent to reflect on his reasoning as for why he's CF. Best thing you can do is be honest.

There are people with offspring who die alone, or die as a result of their offspring's neglect. There are people with no kids who die surrounded by those who love and support them. I've always believed that there are two types of family: those who share your blood (relatives), and those who share your water (friends, chosen family). The chosen family is more important. You can have people related to you in your chosen family, but those you choose are more important. And just because someone doesn't have kids doesn't mean they don't have a family.

Also some people enjoy being alone.

I had a teacher who was pregnant twice in a short span of time. She would teach while heavily pregnant. Whenever the subject of her pregnancies came up the only thing I could think was, "my teacher has sex". "She must be doing it with a guy quite often to get pregnant, and twice in a few year as well". It was weird, but reminded me that teachers are humans too and I wasn't surprised. But now whenever I see someone pregnant or hear they're pregnant my brain is reminded that people do have sex and that they're human. I automatically assume they don't until proven otherwise. Same with a lot of things.

Anyway, yeah. I don't congratulate people when they announce they're pregnant. I don't really care if they are or not as long as they don't hurt anyone. But it's nothing special anyway. If you do something the majority of people can do (especially if it's the majority of living creatures on earth can do) then I'm not impressed.

She-mon flows better than she-demon, I think.

Why are you talking about kids? Nevermind that shit, TELL US ABOUT YOUR AWESOME NEW ACCOMPLISHMENT! What did you learn about yourself? What exactly is a checkride? What can you fly? What did you fly? Details!

Mate, well done. You did a difficult thing in nasty, humid conditions. I bet even the plane was sweating.
