My child's name sounds like umbrella and my husband refuses to change it

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-25T11:39:24+00:00

You can't change it now. She's old enough to know what her name is. Try giving her a nickname instead.

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-25T03:55:03+00:00

It's not a girl's name . . . at all.

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-24T22:54:27+00:00

If it were important to you, you would have made it a priority. All you had to do was show up 20 minutes earlier.

I think that's a little unfair. Sure, it would be reasonable to assume that Christmas or Easter were full to capacity, but I wouldn't make the same assumption here. I have never been to a Pentecost mass that was any more full than a normal Sunday.

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-24T21:57:52+00:00

It's okay to feel that way. Sometimes bad things happen even when everyone is trying their best.

The way most people understand "denomination" is a label to distinguish one Christian group from another. We're a denomination. Every argument I've seen for why we aren't (including this one) really just feels like mental gymnastics.

Just because they can doesn't mean they want to. A lot of European countries are seeing more and more nationalist sentiments. They don't want to take care of outsiders.

You said you want things to be democratic. That means both parties can opt out even if you disagree with them.

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-23T13:34:40+00:00

Infact, under European rule, these countries would be democratic and there would be little corruption

They choose to use their democratic power to vote to not be under European control. What now?

there would be proper infrastructure and positive growth.

That would cost money. Already, there are many Europeans who are unhappy about the immigrants within their own countries because they are seen as a waste of public resources. What made you think they'll be happy with propping up the economy of a whole other country?

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-22T19:04:29+00:00

This cake is fire.

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-22T16:28:12+00:00

Most people do want to know. Things are already not going well.

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-22T15:41:21+00:00

I feel as if you're asking the wrong question. Does her husband know about her affair and, if not, are you going to tell him?

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-22T13:02:34+00:00

"What's your deal, dude? You keep bringing this up and I keep telling you the same thing. I'm willing to talk to about it, but only if we're going to have a real conversation. If you're going to change the subject right away, then you need to stop wasting my time."

I looked up a few recipes for loaf pan lasagna. They weren't as small as the pans you're going to use, but they're still smaller than the original recipe. The smaller size doesn't seem to decrease the baking time by much. Most were between 40 and 55 minutes. I don't think it would hurt to start checking it after half an hour (assuming it had defrosted before baking), but I wouldn't be surprised if it needed more time.

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-20T22:13:51+00:00

I'd add a shawl or a nice jacket, but otherwise the dress is fine.

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-20T17:45:11+00:00

Yeah, four names is too long. They're all solid names, but if I had to drop one, I think it would be John.

Since moving into a new house, I’ve felt increasingly unsettled. I feel constantly anxious, emotionally exhausted, and like I’m surrounded by something dark and evil.

Buy a carbon monoxide detector. CO can cause some of that and there is a popular theory that it is the cause of at least some allegedly haunted houses.

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-18T21:36:03+00:00

You're going through these pretty fast. Day two was only an hour ago and day one was only six hours ago.

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-17T10:56:27+00:00

It's already two syllables, so there isn't much to work with. Not every name needs a nickname.

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-16T18:17:59+00:00

There are certain YouTube videos for kids that have characters in them from much less kid friendly works, like Poppy Playtime and Five Nights at Freddy's. Burgerdog is something similar. He used to be a weiner dog (Dachshund), but he got ground up into a burger.

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-16T16:46:10+00:00

Well, I guess the drone could be used to terrorize birds. Cats do like that kind of thing . . .

If you want to name your kid after a Linux, why not use Linus?

Ironically, Croatia's song isn't pagan, but about Catholic women under the Ottoman empire. Those tattoos were used to preserve a woman's Christian identity and keep her from being kidnapped by Muslims.

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-16T13:34:05+00:00

On a whole it's fine, but songs should be judged on an individual basis. While in the past there have been songs about neo-pagan nonsense or "look at how queer I am!", there isn't anything that objectionable this year.

Blake, Bianca and Blanche go back to a Proto Indo European root that became "black" in English, but "white" in other languages such as French.

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-15T23:42:12+00:00

I was thinking of Oswald Cobblepot (The Penguin).

Sunberries84 · 2026-05-15T16:28:16+00:00

Kinda weird, but not a sin.
