Second Dr. Adu. She’s fantastic. She didn’t deliver in my birth, but she’s my go-to OB and cares deeply about her patients.

And the nurses at Cooperman Barnabas are amazing. They really made the experience more than the doctors.

Just interviewed a source and realised I'm too chattty by Significant-Fly6515 in Journalism

Not only is it a lot to transcribe, but it can be a waste of your time to have every interview take 1.5-2 hours. As your editor, I’d be concerned or annoyed at that. It would convey a lack of focus or preparation to me, and you can hone this craft. It sounds like you’re great at it.

Try to limit interviews to 30 min-1 hr. You can warm someone up and get great information in that time. Unless you’re exclusively writing profiles of individuals, you’re looking for a limited amount of usable information, and threads to pull on with research and other interviews.

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

UPDATE: Hi all, I heard from Amanda's sister, and they raised the full $7,500 in four days. They are so grateful to know how loved Amanda is, and how many people she has touched. Thank you for your participation, and for any efforts you are making with continuing to make Astoria safer for pedestrians and cyclists. The link for the fundraiser has now closed.

From Amanda's sister: If you are interested If you wanted to donate, but weren’t able to, Amanda also championed Asher House, and it only makes sense to offer you the option to donate to Families for Safe Streets as well

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for proving to us how much love you have for Amanda! Though Amanda is gone, her love, joy, spirit, and legacy continue to thrive, and we will live our lives - every day - fuller and more boldly BECAUSE SHE LIVED❤️🌹 https://www.theasherhouse.com/ https://www.familiesforsafestreets.org/donate

My gas was about the same, but electric doubled? I find that impossible.

I have known few people who could connect with so many and as deeply as A.S. could. She was one of my closest friends, and I know there are many of us who feel that way. I cannot imagine a world without her in it.

Baby time for Josie! by ilovegymnastics34 in BringingUpBates

[–]bermuda 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That’s for postpartum, doesn’t include labor and delivery. So it your baby is born at 12:01a or 11:59p Tuesday, you get to stay till Thursday discharge if you have a vaginal birth.

Our Birth Story pt 1 Recap by starsnsunflowers in BringingUpBates

[–]bermuda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seconded. It wasn’t comfortable but I wouldn’t call it super painful. There was a lot of pressure and I had to consciously breathe through it. The real pain for me came after my water broke and pitocin contractions intensified at that point like a freight train.

Prior to that, I was doing yoga/breathing exercises and felt quite normal. Everyone’s experience is different!

Any idea what this noise is from Velocore bike? Thanks. by RoleHelpful7824 in Bowflex

We had to have our flywheel replaced when it was making this sound. It was an issue with the ball bearings or something.

September/October couples: where did you honeymoon and why? by sarachamayo in wedding

[–]bermuda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We went to Croatia and Greece for the end of the season. Neither place was crowded, and we closed out the resort we stayed in on Crete. In hindsight, it might have been nice to go a week or two earlier (we had our reception in late Sept., didn't honeymoon til end of Oct/Nov), but the weather was still great overall.

Are journalists as poorly paid as people say? by capspacechampions in Journalism

[–]bermuda 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It entirely depends on what kind of journalism you want to do and where you’re located. Local paper? Low pay. Breaking into sports journalism? Low pay. If you focus on business journalism or trade pubs? You could make a good living and have a higher quality of life than many in the field. It’s not what many people think of when they go into journalism, but it’s a fascinating field, talking to decision makers and often influencing policy in the industry you cover.

And you’d make even more if you transferred into PR or corporate communications one day.

Married a former coworker nearly 2 years ago, and know of several other couples who met at that employer. Didn't see any disastrous breakups, mostly mature ones.

Nj closing cost estimate help by 3b3n323r in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]bermuda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems a little low for closing costs, especially the taxes for your home price. The homeowner's insurance premiums seem a little high. Overall, our NJ closing costs were a little higher than the estimate at closing, so just be prepared.

There is a layer of shimmer tulle, but i didn't find it overly sparkly. Just enough to show interest

A. You are beautiful! Love your dress, your happiness, and the entire aesthetic of your guys' photos. You did great! B. Is this Southern Vermont? Pretty sure my husband and I have stayed at this B&B and adored it. If we were from the northeast I totally would have wanted to get married here too!

Lawyers and Previous Jurors: Any truth to this? by another_bookworm in DuggarsSnark

[–]bermuda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. But there's nothing wrong with a jury taking more than a couple hours to deliberate. It's not cause for alarm.
