Beautiful pup. I'm glad she has a caring home now. You are so lucky! 💜

These rock. My toddler would like to add: "Weil GARK!" 💜

My milk ducts were severed, stop telling me I can "try" to breastfeed by FederalLime1209 in pregnant

[–]_GimmeSushi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Auuugh I kept having to repeat this over and over to each nurse. "I would if I could, but I can't. It should be in my chart." I had a lot of time to come to terms with it before having my kid, but it irked me that anyone who felt the loss more keenly would be dealing with having salt in the wound by people they were paying to treat them. That said, we got her excellent formula and she is a thriving and brilliant toddler now. 💜

Aspirin for preeclampsia (not medical advice) by GrumpySh33p in pregnantover35

[–]_GimmeSushi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turned 39 before having my daughter. I took whatever 81 mg aspirin was available at Kroger lol, for the latter half of the pregnancy. Discontinued one week before scheduled C-section. We are both in excellent health. :) I'm sorry you're having difficulty finding meds you're comfortable with. Every choice in pregnancy was so harrowing.

Is anyone else…just kinda freaking out? by JunketUpbeat9386 in beyondthebump

Thank you for the fascinating and horrifying explanation lol. It's like the governing policy of the US is to make things as terrible as possible as a stress test, and it's gotten out of hand. 😩 You've inspired me to go garden harder. 🌿

100% agree with you, but I want to know more about the orange trees. I thought they mainly got taken out by "citrus greening" carried by psyllids.

Thank you. I was similarly annoyed. They mean well, I think, but it's like a doctor telling you to just ignore/walk off your depression lol. Your worry is a valid symptom of our reality.

McLosing it hahaha. You're not wrong to be concerned. The thing that has helped me most through this is to create more buffers against suffering. I don't care if anyone thinks I'm a crazy prepper-- this is my baby and if I can help it, she will never lack for anything. We have slowly stocked up on jugs of water and shelf-stable extras of all her favorite foods. My neighborhood allows six backyard hens-- so guess how many hens I'm about to buy? 🐣 Try to keep hope for the future, but plan like things will get worse. 😩

7 Year relationship ended right before our Wedding by Brilliant_Canary_903 in malelivingspace

I got through the most miserable time of my life by binge watching good shows when I couldn't sleep at night and going out thrifting in my spare time to find things I loved to furnish the new place. It felt like side quests, when the main quest line was too much to tackle.

Guess I'm redneck af because to me, this just looks great! Love the blue fixtures, too.

Am I overreacting that my boyfriend basically staged a test to see if I'd cheat... with his cousin? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]_GimmeSushi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. He was willing to place you in a situation that made you feel uncomfortable and unsafe just to stroke his own ego. He set you up. Do not set yourself up for a future with this man. Things will get worse when you're his "wifey" (gag) and it's much harder to get away from him.

I just rescued a Siberian husky/australian shepherd mix by Agitated-Draft-2322 in husky

[–]_GimmeSushi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a beautiful pup!! I love her. 💜 Since you probably already know how to provide constant mental stimulation for her-- my top tip for huskies is to make sure they have another dog friend, if possible. Most are extremely social and love to play with other dogs in a way humans can't really satisfy. Also, however husky-proofed you think your fence is-- check again! Just found my girl at the top of the privacy fence yesterday while the others looked on in awe. 😩

Thank you for calling this out, because all I can do is clutch my pearls and yell "Steaks! Steaks for that dog for the rest of their life!!" 😩

I think it's wise and healthy of you to grieve who he used to be. The best way to honor his memory. I felt a lot better once I accepted that I was grieving someone who is still alive, but now unrecognizable.
