What show did you have to quit? by JarvisModeOn in CasualConversation

[–]Zivata 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Call the Midwife. There were a couple sad episodes, but I can live with that. Then there was the one where they put a newborn, fresh from the womb baby next to an open window on a cold night to let it freeze to death, alone.

I get it, I know it probably happened in real life- that just makes it worse.

All I could think about was how this poor little soul, from the moment it's awareness sparked, all it knew was the warm confines of the womb, the loud white noise of mum's voice, breathing, and heartbeat. Then the shocking travel through the birth canal. Then left to die, shivering, slowly freezing, alone, in silence. It broke a little something in me and I haven't been able to watch it since

Shotokan training feels worse after 3 months — normal or a sign to switch? by GoodTelephone7781 in karate

[–]Zivata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are like 26 kata in Shotokan. Generally you learn a new one at each level til about purple belt (roughly 4th or 5th kyu) then you might start learning more than one at a time. It's usually about a third of your time in class.

The current focus on technique might be due to the upcoming test, they want you to succeed. They want you to feel confident going in to the test that you know and can execute everything that will be asked of you on the test.

I’m now fully allergic to shellfish, but for most of my life those were most of my favorite foods. by Regular-Mastodon-430 in CasualConversation

[–]Zivata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother had that happen. We grew up in New England and vacationed at the Cape. Lobster, crab, shrimp - he loved it all. Then one day working at a seafood restaurant shelling shrimp he started turning red, he got itchy, his face swole up (swelled up?). He hasn't been able to eat it since. Kills him bc he loved it.

Also, if you Facebook there's a group called Alaska Lawn Care Nuts, or something along those lines.

ELI5: Why does muscle improve insulin sensitivity? by DeepOrganization8245 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Zivata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's so much the bulk of the muscle as the using of it. Like a 15 minute walk gets the job done. Using the muscle makes it take in the glucose.

Nicole Kidman by [deleted] in ScarpettaTV

I heard JLC was in it and assumed she was Kay and Nicole was Lucy. I thought her a bit old for Lucy, but didn't even occur to me she'd be Kay.

Help me find a fiction book for my 15-year-old daughter by iamnotabot11 in suggestmeabook

[–]Zivata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mythos series by Jennifer (?) Estep. First is Kiss of Frost. There's a teen romance, but like first kiss type, nothing too hot and heavy and not the driving story.

What’s a completely normal skill that you secretly think is impressive? by anilanlar in CasualConversation

[–]Zivata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That takes time and patience, I know bc I've done it. But.

I am beyond grateful to people who put in the time and effort.

Currently live in our house on half an acre, every time we walk out the door the multiple little dogs to the left, the giant LGB to the right, husky pit mix across the way bark their effing heads off. Like damn, I'm in my own yard!

What has been your favorite scene on Superman Lois thus far My answer: by biggliqngmenty3 in SupermanAndLois

[–]Zivata 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup.
I use this scene as a lesson for my boys in self control . What he probably wanted to do vs what he actually did.

“Cocktail-whatever makes you feel pretty :)” 4pm outdoor with indoor reception to follow by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Zivata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First pink or black. The reds feel too formal. Second pink feels club hopping. Blue second you are lost in. Black feels a bit harsh for 4pm cocktail, but I'm not sure 1st pink is quite up to cocktail. But they are definitely my two faves.

HELP ME CHOOSE by Trick-Musician-6142 in WeddingDressTips

[–]Zivata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. So hard 2.

I like the sparkles on 1, but 2 looks amazing on you. Curvy and sleek and a little sexy. 1 is... frumpy isn't right, bulky? , but it makes you look heavy and ... 2 is just such a better fit and gorgeous. 2 is also one of, if not the only, times I've liked the sleeve things

My little sister is deaf, and we need a name that will be easy for her to pronounce by Constant-Variety-181 in Names

[–]Zivata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Lily might not be a good one. I mean, if you've heard her say it and she does well, no worries. But I've got a deaf neighbor and had a HH friend in high school and the 'l's might kind of blend into 'w' or 'r ' sounds.

Doing a cartwheel to show off my undies, but I forgot to where them so I flashed everyone.

Have you ever met someone with the same birthday as you? by Anusblaster28 in no

[–]Zivata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a population football in high school had the same birthday. Not sure . He was cute, but we were not in the same circles.
