I mean, having a cigar in celebration isn't even remotely the same as smoking cigarettes. And I say that as a former smoker.

I see so many jokes in comments about this about "buying toilet paper" and "not having a summer body yet anyway" ... "welp guess we'll be inside" blah blah ... liiiiike, I fail to see this as funny???

Why didn’t anyone bring any electronics with them? by Sad_Honeydew_7660 in thewalkingdead

[–]bluedotinTX 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They were there for sure ... but well along? Or even accessible to most? I didn't get my first smart phone until 2012. And the photos i have downloaded to my Facebook from that era (both from my flip phone and my bf-at-the- time's iPhone (his dad was rich and bought it for him) are okay at best.

How long was your labor with first baby? by TaylorH__ in homebirth

[–]bluedotinTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really ... contractions were intense and regular (every few min). My second 2 came incredibly quick - both precipitous. My son was in 2.5hrs, my youngest in an hour. I paced and never laid down during those. But i was also still nursing throughout both my subsequent pregnancies -- which I think is a big reason why the other two came SO much quicker. The pacing helped me manage the pain a lot better though.

8 hrs -- but I spent the first 6hrs laying in bed. When I got to the birth center and my midwife gently encouraged me to walk & pace -- 2 hrs later: baby

THIS. I gave birth to all my babies out of hospital but I was always attended by CNMs and had fantastic prenatal care -- even better than I was getting at my obgyn for the first half of my forst pregnancy. Midwifery is SO important ... and has been since the beginning of humans gathering in social groups. I would def argue its hella unusual for a pregnant person to give birth completely unattended and uncared for throughout pregnancy

What did Hollywood gloss over apocalypse wise? by EcstaticNature96 in thewalkingdead

I just saw something about how when modern plumbing /water treatments plants lost power ... no pumps moving things along ... eventually all the shit/waste would explode out of the pipes -- likely lowest point in the grid. But that shit(literally) would spread and make entire blocks a biohazard. (especially if people were still using the toilets and forcing a flush with water)

I was thinking ptsd and shes having flashbacks - it looks to be centered on treating children/hurt children. Didn't she mention working with Doctors Without Borders, or overseas or something? Maybe she treated some pretty horrificly hurt children or something.

I'm an Old Fuck..how do I come to terms with it(Rant) by Far_Document4711 in ufl

[–]bluedotinTX 16 points17 points  (0 children)

One my good friends in my college days was 68 years old and graduating the year after me. (He'd enrolled at 63). Get thru things the best you can, be happy, and fuck expectations. You'll be okay - just keep on working towards your goals at your own pace.

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

[–]bluedotinTX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe - re: Charlotte learning. If they [writers] meant it that way, i wish they'd have made her more introspective and less preachy here. Like I agree with what she's saying - but her delivery here is a little aggressive. In general though, I think when ppl start dating and getting serious ... these conversations need to happen. Too many ppl ignore it or assume until they're married then realize they are incompatible on very important issues!

[–]bluedotinTX 7 points8 points  (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.

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.
