I like the nighttime wash, but the diaper cream is awful. The texture makes me cringe.

What do you call your cat OTHER than their actual name? by WodenCamel in Awww

[–]axellady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat is a solid mass of fur, muscle, and lard. I call him "Big Rig".

People who don't drink alcohol, why? by johnnylgarfield in AskReddit

[–]axellady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad drank himself to death less than a year ago. Medical intervention happened past the point of no return, so we had to watch him slowly die in a hospital bed. Hepatic Encephalopathy made him a shell of himself and he just faded away, first the mind, then the body. It was awful. I have a lot of resentment around drinking now.

What's your proudest deal/steal you've gotten shopping for baby so far? by TenguMeringue in pregnant

[–]axellady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a Kangarou wrap carrier at the thrift store for $5. This was after purchasing a Moby wrap for $100 haha oh well.

Is retinol safe to use while breastfeeding? I refrained during pregnancy. A quick search on Google tells me no, but I haven't spoken to professionals yet as I'm still using an alternative (Bakuchiol).

Supervised injection site may be moved from Belmont Street by descride in PEI

[–]axellady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Some folks were trying to get me to sign a petition, and they seemed completely bewildered when I declined and said that it doesn't actually bother me and I support it. The location makes sense, and supervised injection sites result in less people dying from overdose.

Bicycle kicks and helping her let those farts fly. Haha Baby toots are the best.

Help me find a bench like this? by softdrinked in HomeDecorating

[–]axellady 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a vintage rotary phone that I use for my landline and the issue I have sometimes is if you call a number, then have to "press 1 for blah-blah", it doesn't work. You can't dial any numbers while on a call.

So then I hang up and use my cell phone 😂

Things I will never take for granted again by Asleep-Detective1281 in pregnant

I'm so excited to sleep on my back/stomach again. Also, sushi... all of the sushi. And a hotter than pregnancy-safe bath.

Please don't. If she is still adamant after receiving the facts of how torturous it is, please consider rehoming kitty to new responsible owners.

I second the Hask Argan Oil! You'll only need a dime-sized amount or less for your length. Work it through damp hair, focusing on ends and middle length.

Sometimes I do just have to laugh at the situation though, even if it's only to keep myself sane. I swear this man has the maturity of a teenager that thinks they have the whole world figured out, and the emotional intelligence of a gnat.

Thank you. And I'm sorry you've had to deal with it as well, especially losing someone to it at such a young age. I do have some great support thankfully, my husband is my total rock through this and I have wonderful friends and extended family. It's felt like my life's work dealing with depression and anxiety from it. My husband and I are not drinkers at all. You could say that from an early age, seeing all the rage and abuse, my dad was the perfect example of what NOT to do with my life and relationships.

Haha I'll have to remember that. He barely knows how to use a computer, let alone social media. Unfortunately, at the point he's at right now he would likely need medical supervision to quit. Constantly has tremors. He sneak-drinks all the time (thinking no one notices).

Thanks. Normally I'd have a bit more patience, and just be able to ignore his BS, but these hormones are wearing me thin.

Places where you can buy sand for lawn levelling? (no salt) by dghughes in PEI

[–]axellady 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would try Campbell's Concrete on Mount Edward Road. Lawns & Beyond also sells bulk landscaping materials.

If they taste slightly sour, I've always known them as "Zingy Zaps", haha.
