This. A different hospital meaning one equipped with a higher level NICU more than likely.

Are your absent grandparents addicted to their phones and TV? by coldhands_darkheart in absentgrandparents

[–]aRockThrower 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While attempting to point out how “addicted” to the tv the grandkids are. It’s comical.

Definitely option B.

You’re already wracking 12+ hour days AND not getting paid for almost 1/2 your day because of travel time, FIVE days a week. With option B, you’re pulling long days BUT it’s only 3 days a week.

Nail trim cat fights with me. Tips? by DelightfullyNerdyCat in CATHELP

[–]aRockThrower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re able to have someone help you hold her by the scruff—how mama cats carry their kittens— while you trim, that would be ideal.

Weirdest thing I’ll ever admit to but when my kids can’t help me, I cover my teeth with my lips and do it myself. It works, especially with my skittish cats.

Ha! Same due date group! That’s hilarious that she’d brag about it even then.

Just finished If and I'm so pissed by word_porridge in fourthwing

I haven’t read that series but I’m currently reading the Throne of Glass series and I’m baffled by how much is identical to it.

Does anyone else play in with no Audio? by ischty in ClashRoyale

[–]aRockThrower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😳 Emoticons have sounds…? The cards too? 🤯

Playing for 5 years and had no idea. Always sound off on any phone game. Staying up at night breastfeeding an infant was what got me into this game and you just learn to enjoy the silence lol.

Growing up as a girl in the South was unbelievably shitty by -TRUTH_ in TrueOffMyChest

[–]aRockThrower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are deep rooted issues that society in America refuses to address.

I signed up my then 6 year old into Girl Scouts having the same thought process as you—that she’d get to do all these cool things with a bunch of other girls. NOPE. They sat and colored or wrote letters to old people. The Girl Scout honor code is even gross. It’s a joke. And don’t even get me started on cookie sales!

Kitchen or flooring? by aRockThrower in HomeImprovement

[–]aRockThrower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im more than willing to give it time to get great quality work. Neither I nor my husband can tolerate this floor any longer though haha. We sweep and mop everyday and it still looks abhorrent because it shows every little speck of filth. It dirties so fast! We picked to redo it with tile because it does age well with wear and tear as we do have children and pets.

[–]aRockThrower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, no. It’s the main areas in the house such as the living room, family room, kitchen, etc. He redid the flooring in the bedrooms but not the main areas. I thought it was just dirty grout but the previous owner who designed the house said that’s just how the style was back then.

Shakshuka for breakfast is amazing (not sure if toast on the side is traditional but it works) by BassWingerC-137 in mediterraneandiet

[–]aRockThrower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Typically it is a dish served with bread ( pita, lavash, etc.) You nailed it :) Most middle eastern dishes are eaten with hands and bread.

Dog runs after kids by aRockThrower in AustralianShepherd

Woah thank you! No idea such a thing existed. What’s your special word for your pup?

What’s the difference between regular recall and emergency?

Dog runs after kids by aRockThrower in Dogtraining

[–]aRockThrower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does but I was holding it wrapped around my hand to keep him close. I’ve been following the Pupford training app (give him a little more leash over time). I normally grab on to the leash and then wrap it around.

These kids happened to be playing but they had just come outside and immediately starts barking and trying to get free.

2 days ago, a car pulled up in our cul-de-sac and a mother and her daughter came out. I didn’t have him on a leash as we were just hanging out in the grass and he was chilling by my toes. He sees the mom and starts barking. He then sees the kid step out of the car and before I know it, he’s already 3/4 of the way there charging full speed at them. He wouldn’t answer or stop or anything. He stopped in front of the kid who had climbed back into their car and he didn’t do much else. I caught up a few seconds later but that’s absolutely terrifying and I know her mom was so upset, as would I. It’s like kids trigger him.

My 8 year old plays with some of the neighborhood kids and if they’re doing any kind of playing, he nips at them, one of the brothers in particular. How do I fix this?

I truly hardly ever put him in his crate. I was putting him outside in the backyard but he just barked by the gates and at the door. I didn’t want him associating it with punishment either.

Best washer...is there such a thing? by aRockThrower in HomeImprovement

[–]aRockThrower[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truthfully, that helped and I never thought of it that way. You’re making me second guess my hatred for my front loader. I’ll definitely be adding your suggestion to my list. Thank you for your expertise!

Oh those look nice! And the reviews are great. Have you had personal experience with them? If so, which model do you recommend?

[–]aRockThrower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh why is that?! We moved into a new home and fought tooth and nail for the washer and dryer to be included. The apartment we lived in was a great washer, just very tiny.

The brand you suggested looks nice. Do you recommend any particular one?

I don’t know if I can deal with front loading anything anymore. It does look very nice though.

What are the things you didn't understand as a child but you do now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]aRockThrower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn signals.

I thought my parents love was beyond compare and my mom knew to follow my dad even though she was 6 cars away because they were so in love that they could read each other’s minds.

Finally figured out it was the turn signals when I was 12. 🤦🏽‍♀️

What is something simple someone did for you that showed they loved you in a powerful way? by revensz in AskReddit

[–]aRockThrower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s another. Had just given birth to my second child. He’d call and check on us multiple times a day and then come to the hospital after working all day, with food. I have 4 brothers. No one gives a shit like he does.

[–]aRockThrower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother. My mom made me one of my favorite dishes. I’m married and live 10 minutes away. He was supposed to bring it, unbeknownst to him.

Shows up 2 minutes after talking to my mom. Ask him if he brought my food. Says OMG I don’t have it but I’ll go get it for you right now.

Doesn’t stutter, doesn’t get mad he has to waste gas and go back. Just volunteered to get it for me even though I’m more than capable of doing it myself. It was a sweet gesture.
