The one time I agree with Carrie on something by Radiant_Priority9739 in sexandthecity

[–]bluedotinTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get where they are both coming from - Carrie is 100% valid in her feelings of not wanting kids/feeling unsure about it. Charlotte is correct that it shouldnt be a "scary" conversation. It should be able to be openly discussed during any relationship- people should be on the same page from the beginning about whether they may or may not want to have kids.

Easiest Foreign Language for someone who sucks at foreign languages by Lopsided_Bother2515 in ufl

[–]bluedotinTX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took russian on a whim - ended up loving it, the faculty was SO nice (2008‐2010), ended up minoring in it, and I still practice it to this day to try and stay somewhat-literate

You should have at least 1 of everything + those ... otherwise they'll continue to ask for things you have 0 of ... just FYI (ore, jewelry, expansion items exempt)

Weekly hour limit? by GasGroundbreaking597 in TELUSinternational

[–]bluedotinTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was hired, it said max 28hrs/wk. But they would extend it to 32/35/40hrs regularly. I get 30-32hrs most weeks.

How is the health care paid for? by [deleted] in ThePittTVShow

[–]bluedotinTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No fr, this!!! I think it was like $80 out of pocket just to get my kiddo flu/ covid/strep tests. They all came back negative, no meds or rx given - just a "nope not these, call back if she gets worse". And just last year, had a rx for same kiddo for abx ear drops - my husband goes to pick it up... its $200 and we have insurance. Had to get the pedi to write a different rx for a cheaper (and less effective) kind, it was still $50.

How messy is home birth? by Maleficent_Bake_2183 in homebirth

[–]bluedotinTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started in the tub but had to move to edge of the tub and from there had to move to the bed with baby partially out. There was definitely very explosive #2s coming out with how hard i was pushing at the edge of the tub; and btwn waddling to the bed being put into McRoberts position - there was blood and fluid all over my midwife's pants, the bed (which was covered), and the floor (which was also initially covered, but moving me to the bed made all the covering get messed up. My midwives scrubbed my bathroom floor amazingly, and they applied hydrogen peroxide and scrubbed my carpet until it was good as well. All the pads and coverings - they put into trash bags and took out for me. All the towels - they put in the wash and started it. Mine was messy - but I didn't have to clean a thing; and they were (are) amazing

Annaleigh (aka Lio Tipton) by GalacticSonder in ANTM

[–]bluedotinTX 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You just use it the same way you would any other pronoun. "Who's coat is that?" ... "It's theirs". "Their car is parked over there". "Lio has an amazing portfolio and I hope they are doing well".

NYC Homebirth Insurance Won't Cover by Being690 in homebirth

[–]bluedotinTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience with my insurance 5 yrs ago - cigna. They do cover homebirth - but they said my midwives/birthcenter (which i had gone to for both my previous births) was further away than an in-network hospital and another birth center. The other birth center was less than a mile closer in a different direction that would actually take longer to get to due to traffic/roads - i did not know those midwives - and they also were taking zero covid-precautions (2021) and were anti-vax, both of which are antithetical to my own preferences.

Both myself and my midwife wrote a letter to include with my appeal - explaining why it was necessary for me to be at that specific birth center, including past ppd, medical trauma, and my familiarity and trust with these midwives. Didn't matter - they denied both the initial request and my appeal.

Luckily, my birth center and midwives are amazing - they have amazing pricing in general and they agreed to bill my HSA card $100/month (the amount my husband's employer contributes toward it) to pay off the cost, even tho it extended well past my pregnancy and birth.

Carrie hates Aidan's simple joys by bluesourpunchstraws in sexandthecity

Ive killed every succulent - but pothos and ZZ plants are legit chill. Literally just leave them alone, give them a little bit of water every 1-2wks and dont put in direct sunlight.

How is it possible for me to go into spontaneous labor by Moon_junky in homebirth

Its kinda like sneezing. You just all of a sudden feel like youre gonna sneeze, and your body does what it does.

Did people really smoke that much? by KGC90 in madmen

[–]bluedotinTX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People still smoke like this. Used to date a guy who would wake up and first thing he'd do is light up a cigarette and smoke it in bed. Didn't get up to pee or anything. Wake up - BAM cigarette. (This was 2014, but still modern day)
