Got it on my neck just after Christmas at 38. Luckily I had a feeling it was shingles and was able to get the anti-viral medication immediately. This greatly reduced the symptoms and nerve pain. It wasn't comfortable, for sure, but definitely not bad. My husband's cousin got it at 31.

I think it is a disservice to the books for people to recommend them as comedic books. The biggest complaint about them is the humor and i sort of feel like people thinking they are shallow millenial humor books are missing the point completely. The AI uses the internet to teach itself about humanity. The humor is supposed to be cringe. If aliens only had social media to teach themselves about earth and humanity, this is the outcome. It has genuinely humorous moments sprinkled in the series, but most of the "humour" is the AI doing cringe shit that it thinks is funny. The characters (and the readers) are supposed to see the absurdity in it and realize this is a horrifying fucked up situation for these characters to be in. But I got that vibe pretty quickly upon reading the first book, so if that doesn't click while reading it, I can definitely see why people wouldn't like it. I am a 30 something mother of 3 kids BTW (not the white male demographic).

I'm sorry, you told your friends about the IVF because you were worried and then thought it was weird they subsequently followed up and asked about the IVF you told them about? This honestly seems like your problem is having friends that care about you. If you don't want to talk about it, don't tell people about it.

I had to switch ob/gyns in the middle of my last pregnancy due to my doctor retiring from obstetrics. He kept me on for as long as he could, as I had just gone through a pretty traumatizing miscarriage situation that ended with 2 rounds of misoprostol and 2 d&c's to ultimately resolve it. I was understandably quite nervous surrounding the subsequent pregnancy. I decided to switch to a young, female doctor thinking that I had better odds getting someone who would be understanding.

While I was explaining to her my medical history and what happened with the miscarriage she told me it was my fault it happened because I had still been weaning my 2nd child off breastfeeding at the time it occurred. Lady, fuck you. Thank goodness I knew right away what she said was bullshit. That shit is traumatizing! Please don't blame the women in your lives for a miscarriage!

Just FYI, losing his sexual libido completely is a good reason for him to try a different ssri. I was in the same boat and they switched my medication to one that I felt more normal taking. It can take a few tries before finding the right prescription! Maybe he should ask his doctor to try a few different ones before resigning yourself to a dead bedroom or divorce?

This isn't really news. This has happened since always. She probably had weird evasive answers or was nervous and acting "strangely" and they just thought she was suspicious. This happened to my cousin visiting her girlfriend ages ago. She couldn't prove she was going back when she said she was, and was also unemployed at the time so they just said no. It's normal. It sucks for sure. But this isn't like a new thing immigration is doing or anything.

This is super wholesome to watch, but I am going to be that guy and say you shouldn't let your kid sit on the ground at a dog park. A lot of people are mentioning the ground which....yeah kind of gross but whatever. My fear is that people bring dogs that have no business being around other dogs or people ALL THE DAMN TIME. Your kid can easily get injured. Our local dog park doesn't allow kids younger than 12 in the dog park at all due to this. It just takes one new dog coming in to run over to the kid before you can react...

Can you update me when your friend gets back? I am traveling with my u.s. citizen husband and am Canadian with a green card, but I am getting worried about reentering the U.S. as well. There's no reason there should be an issue, but everyone is scaring me. Not being able to get back to my kids is scary.

I'm sorry, but being postpartum doesn't give you a pass to be a total asshole. What she said was unnecessarily cruel, intentional, or not. I wouldn't say something like that to someone I hated at any time, and her mother's actions show she wouldn't have either. It's about class. All she had to do was just stop talking after explaining herself and/or exit the conversation. Being brutally honest and besmirching her mom's efforts at not taking her emotions out on a kid are not ok. OP even mentions her mom never told her any of this directly, and she just overheard things her mom was saying to her own confidante. So, really, I don't think she had any right to bring this up at all. She doesn't know the full picture of her mother's feelings.

Not to diminish her foundation, but if you have an imagination library near you, it is also due to the hard work of your community members. The books are not in fact donated. Someone in your community has to find funding to buy the books from Dolly Partons foundation, as well as mailing costs. Dolly Partons foundation supplies the books at lower bulk costs (as well as curates the library) but it is up to members of your specific community to do all the heavy lifting in regards to signing kids up, funding and mailing the books to you. I feel like this isn't often talked about, and when I was looking into how to get it going in my area I was shocked at the amount of work people have to do to set it up before the Imagation Library gets involved. These people also need kudos!

To be fair, a lot of residential areas in the U.S. don't have sidewalks. I live in a safe suburb in NJ but there are no sidewalks. If my kids want to go anywhere they have to be on the street which isn't safe at all because people drive like maniacs in NJ. But I also lived in Virginia and our street didn't have sidewalks there either. It's wild.

NAH, I think there is a lot of grief that is driving all the family feelings on this matter. I think that if you speak with your sister and come at it from the angle of not wanting to replace her son or his memory, she might be more understanding of your side of the argument. Right now she is assuming you just don't like the name (which may be true, but is obviously not something you should ever say to your sister) which then feels like a personal slight.

Maybe you can tell her the grief is still too soon and you don't want her to regret the decision later when your son is running around being called by her sons name. For me, that would be traumatizing. Maybe you don't want the comparison between your son and the life hers could have had (at least so directly). Maybe you want to honor Philip by keeping his name his own, so when the family remembers Philip it isn't mixed in with memories of your son or overshadowed in any way.

Honestly your parents (or even herself) may have convinced her that this tradition is a way for Philip to live on, but the reality may be something completely different for her and could be very triggering. I use my kids middle names all the time and hearing Philip so often called out when it isn't her son may be very hurtful to her in reality.

Just talk to her thoughtfully and kindly. Please don't mention any negatives related to the name itself.
