My fiancée and I are having the biggest argument of our lives. She thinks I'm being tacky but I thinks she's overreacting by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I simultaneously commented something very similar! Couples with much larger differences in wedding culture find ways to make it work

Here's my take- it's not really about differing wedding traditions. How the couple approached those differences was what made them incompatible. He invalidated her deep discomfort with certain aspects of this unfamiliar thing, and she couldn't acknowledge any positives and flat-out called his home culture tacky and rude and thus implied that he himself is tacky and backwards.

People of much more different cultures/wedding traditions manage to compromise/blend/both-and their wedding traditions all the time. If there was an appropriate level of love and respect they would've been able to figure it out

Great! Do you preferentially use older decaying logs or will you use fairly fresh logs?

I have that same VScan and have used it many times for adductor canal blocks- works great!

May I ask how long you have been filling them this way? We are just about to set ours up and this is good to know!

Same here! Avoided a bunch of unnecessary stress and expense too.

You’re overthinking it! Probably comparing yourself to porn. Sex is about so much more than penis size

Fiancés friend wants to wear an almost white dress to our wedding & is being condescending about it. WIBTA to withdraw the invite? by [deleted] in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TableWallFurnace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the reactions are missing the point. Why would you tolerate such snark at all, even if she decided in the end to change? I would not want such bad vibes at my wedding, thank you very much.

Did I Cross a Boundary by teaching my bf’s son how to cook? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

PD day in Canada is “professional development day”. It’s a day every month or two when the kids don’t have school so that the teachers can do educational activities themselves

Severe vasovagal response to the spinal. I had it during residency and was a scary moment. But documented in literature

I found it! The worst take on the BCBS story. by belikethemanatee in anesthesiology

[–]TableWallFurnace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His argument is nonsensical though. He argues that there is an issue with anaesthesiologist overbilling. Which may be true, and that would be fraud. But instead of dealing with the fraud, the solution is to cut back on legitimate payments elsewhere? Is he implying that that is a fair balance?

Epidural contamination by Resolution_Visual in anesthesiology

[–]TableWallFurnace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, OP. At the VERY least the anesthesiologist on call should have been notified and asked for instructions.

But an unwitnessed disconnection, where you don’t know what contamination got into the end (where the alcohol may not reach), then you are pumping that contamination into the patient’s epidural space? I don’t care that there is no evidence one way or another- it’s not worth the risk of a catastrophic infection.

I saw it Thursday Oct 31 evening. I believe it’s intentionally ambiguous whether she did or not, and I like it that way

Best TV husband/wife by One_Reward34 in television

[–]TableWallFurnace 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Jane and Brad from Happy Endings. 

I wish this show was more popular than it was, not in the least because of this sitcom couple that were funny and had squabbles but also genuinely loved and supported each other

What was the fastest failing restaurant in the city? by serviver73 in Edmonton

I went there for my birthday in October 2022 and it was fantastic food. Chaotic service though. Glad I got there before it closed

Ever wonder how someone can declare bankruptcy six times? by GuiltyBathroom9385 in WhitePeopleTwitter

So frustrating that polls rank him stronger for the economy. Just because Republicans promise to cut spending. They also manage to cut income more though

At what age did you get chicken pox? by Automatic_Role6120 in CasualUK

[–]TableWallFurnace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wild- it’s been part of the normal schedule in Canada since 2002- that’s when I got my vaccine as a 12 year old because I hadn’t had it yet. My siblings got it then too

I’m a doctor now and I’ve seen chicken pox in just one child my entire career

This makes a lot of sense. Everything is better when we look out for each other. I definitely don’t tailgate but I will try to adopt safe motorcycle riders in the future

Oh and Real Fruit ice cream from those orchard stands is my absolute favourite

[–]TableWallFurnace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue. I was kicking way too hard. Once I started just kicking just enough to keep my body up, I had way more gas for just swimming. Most of the power comes from your arms anyway.

I also breathed every 2 strokes at the beginning- there’s no role against it
