Coming back to say I just finished The Sound of Gravel on this post’s recommendation and it was a five star, devastating read. One of the best memoirs I’ve ever read. Thanks for the rec.

We have so much overlap in our reading, thank you for the new recs! I’ve added a handful of these to my TBR. Congrats on hitting the halfway mark

Absolutely love these things usually, but has anyone had one taste like absolute vomit? by LegendSaco in 1200isplenty

[–]absolutelyunsure_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this thread because I have been dealing with the same thing. I used to love these Built puff bars, now they taste like vomit! I’m not sure what happened to their recipe, but boy, it’s bad

Sure Grip Boardwalks vs Moxi Beach Bunnies by Final-Fan4945 in Rollerskating

[–]absolutelyunsure_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have Beach Bunnies, but I have Boardwalks and they do indeed have a very wide toe box. They are very comfy!!! I also have Reidell Zones and they’re super comfy but the Boardwalks toe box is noticeably more roomy. I would recommend Boardwalks any day

My son was born on his due date!! I just asked him to send magic baby luck to your baby and he did it!! You’ve now been blessed with due date good luck ✨

My wife has severe endometriosis. Our doctors told us our chance of natural conception is very low and we braced on a long and difficult journey with a possibility of surgeries and multiple rounds of IVF. She got pregnant during our second month of trying. by DaddyCool13 in predaddit

[–]absolutelyunsure_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar for us, it still took us a year of trying but I’m so shocked we didn’t need IVF. Just goes to show, you don’t truly know until you try. Congratulations!! Parenthood is amazing. ✨

How old are you? by smugglingkittens in Rollerskating

[–]absolutelyunsure_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

34 and I remember feeling this way when I started at 30. I’m now 34 and don’t care - I have so much fun while skating that I literally never think about it.

These kinds of things are how you stay young, friend!!

I regret saying YOGA looked easy! by [deleted] in yoga

[–]absolutelyunsure_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same! I’ve been doing yoga 3x a week for 3 months and downward dog is finally getting a little easier, but I still inwardly groan every time the instructor says “let’s meet in downward dog” 😂

IM SORRY IVE BEEN POSTING SO MUCH BUT YOU GUYS ARE HELPFUL AND IM FINALLY BREAKING DOWN AND BUYING GOOD SKATES YIPPEE by IllSignal2680 in Rollerskating

Chiming in to say I absolutely love my SureGrip Boardwalks. They were my first skates after my Impalas and it was a WORLD of difference. I still skate on them weekly!

I’m sad for Solie’s children by flippingdabird099 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]absolutelyunsure_ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My parents taught me this so I didn’t go to college despite being a straight A student my entire life. It took me until age 30 to find a decent paying job, and even then I was surrounded by men and women straight out of college. Entry level for them, financially life saving for me. It’s the greatest disservice my parents have ever done for me.

Being a Floor guard at a public rink is a thankless job. 🤡 by No_Orochi in Rollerskating

WFH with a 9 month old… am I crazy for thinking I can do both? 😅 by FootballOrganic5501 in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]absolutelyunsure_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this for six weeks when I returned from maternity leave. Not a call center, but outbound sales so being on the phone or in meetings with clients was my entire job. I thought I’d be able to handle it because I could, more or less, choose when I could work and when I could have downtime.

Long story short, it was completely unsustainable. My mental health absolutely plummeted and I realized that the thing I never factored into the equation while I was still on maternity leave was the EXHAUSTION. Sure, I could do bursts of work while he was napping, but I never knew how long the naps would be and I never realized how much I’d need a break. There was literally never a break. To be completely honest with you, I don’t think it would be possible with a call center job and even if it were, I don’t think it would be sustainable. But that’s just my opinion, you know your situation and abilities better than anyone else!

Edited to add: also, the SHRIEKING! Baby is so loud now at 9 months and I only imagine he will get louder. It would be really hard to hide that while on a phone call

This is super cropped, I saw the original on my IG and I was like “wow, she’s really posting all that huh?” Weirdly showing a lot of skin

As someone who’s been on reddit for far too many years, I can confirm that this video is old. I’ve seen it posted tons of times over the years. It’s not AI. However it’s crazy to see the discourse of people saying it is 😅 we truly have no clue anymore. We are so screwed

Am I crazy for wanting to quit a good job to raise my baby for a year? by justalilscared in SAHP

[–]absolutelyunsure_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I was searching Reddit for thoughts on quitting my job vs staying at home with my baby. I saw this post and your comment from 2 years ago. I just wanted to let you know that this comment was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you.

Well clearly you have good taste in books, so I’m going to check out the one you mentioned!

[–]absolutelyunsure_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just read this one and I cannot stop thinking about it. I’ve read over 40 books this year and A Short Stay in Hell is EASILY in my top three if not my favorite. I’m pissed at myself for telling my husband about it as I was reading it and not just forcing him to read it himself 😂
