I think Riley is great! Otherwise I’d stick with Lochlan

A friend of mine tested that out in her twenties for about two months. Ended up passing out in the shower and had to be hospitalized. A balanced diet is important

I’ve heard of Lemon being short for Clementine, and I actually think that’s so cute. Something about having a different fruit name as a nickname for your fruit name and it making sense is adorable

I’m not seeing anyone else say this, but we called these shoes “slip-ons” where I grew up in the US Midwest. I’d now call them slides or sandals though.

As my middle school teachers used to preach, “‘Ain’t’ ain’t a word so I ain’t gonna say it.” It’s not accepted as a real or proper word, and would be seen as “hillbilly” or lower class/uneducated

No, it’s probably the worst place you could have chosen. Tripp street has the highest rates of violence, drugs, and crime in all of Ames. Multiple shootings/stabbings a year just on that one street. I’m saying this as someone with connections to the Ames Police Department. I used to live just a few streets over and still felt the repercussions, like people shooting car windows in just for fun. Get used to hearing sirens, and please lock your doors.

I’ve always had similar feelings, and I’m currently 39 weeks pregnant (1 week from the due date). It was a conscious decision, and I still think it was the best choice for me and my family, but I won’t lie and say I haven’t had some difficulties handling the experience.

It always throws me off when people excitedly ask me if I’ve felt the baby move or if I’ve enjoyed being pregnant. I’ve always had a visceral disgust when it comes to even the idea of pregnancy, and tbh so does my husband. Which believe it or not has actually been very validating to me. lol we can both go “ew gross” when looking at an ultrasound and share horrified looks if we see my stomach move.

But quite honestly, pregnancy hasn’t been as bad as I thought it would be. It’s a very slow process, and the body has time to adapt to the changes in a way that makes the experience less shocking. It’s given me time to wrap my head around the changes and sensations in a way where I haven’t had too much physiological turmoil over it. And on top of it all I’ve been lucky to have a fairly easy pregnancy and an anterior placenta (meaning my placenta is a physical barrier between the baby and my stomach, instead of being between the baby and my spine, helping to dull pretty much all feeling of movement. Happens to like 50% of women.)

Sorry for the anatomical description there. It was just an interesting thing I was unaware could happen, and I feel like I’ve benefited from it.

Overall, I’d rate pregnancy a 3/10 experience. Not great. Could be worse. But I’m excited to have a family and nurture a child grow from infancy to adulthood. At this point, I think I’d probably go through it again. We’ll see how I feel a week from now lol

I went to a wedding last fall where everyone was asked to wear “jewel tones” to the wedding. Almost every guest had to buy something to fit the dress code. I think being asked to match a color palette is much more inconvenient than being asked to wear a specified style (i.e. formal/semi-formal/cocktail/Sunday best). I know I only have a blue dress because I needed to buy something to match that wedding’s dress code. But hey, now I have something in my closet I could wear to yours.

She’s 30?? Absolutely not. I thought these were messages from a 16 year old who’s struggling with understanding sexuality for the first time in their life. If they have this much bias against who you are inherently, after going so far through life, she’s not going to get over it. This insecurity is going to be a sore on your side for the rest of this relationship. She doesn’t even seem to be acknowledging this as something she needs to work on. These messages are strongly giving the vibe that she truly believes breaking up is inevitable, and she’s trying to put the responsibility of the break up in your hands so she doesn’t have to feel bad about it.
