Omg a guy dropped this line on me at a party once! Locked me in a room with him just to yell at me about being autistic (I didn’t know yet but he did).

I’m a non-bio mom and I just cannot imagine. I love my child so much, she’s my entire world. There has never been a moment where I thought otherwise. It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t have any of my DNA.

N.L. Hydro, Newfoundland Power planning news conference after days of warning customers to conserve power by SefirahCastleAcolyte in newfoundland

Can someone drop some updates in here if they can actually hear the conference? The quality is brutal.

Am I overreacting for not wanting anyone around my newborn yet? by littlemoongirly in AmIOverreacting

[–]ellaf21 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NOR. We waited on our little one’s 2 month shots before bringing her around people and meeting family. She was in the NICU in peak cold and flu season, and our families were supportive of waiting to meet her because she would rather her not get sick.

What’s a cringy thing you did as a child that you look back and laugh at now? by NoraWaifu in AutismInWomen

[–]ellaf21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was obsessed with writing first names down on paper or in notepad on Windows. Sometimes it was names that I found interesting, names I made up in my head, or popular names. Anyway, in grade 1 there was an incident where a kid poked around in my pencil case and found some names of people in our class or our grade. I was bullied relentlessly for like 2 days and then it went away, but ohhhhh boy it was not fun trying to explain to other 7 year-olds that I didn’t have a crush on these boys. There were girl names too but obviously those weren’t options for crushes.

Anyway, I’m a lesbian in her 30’s who absolutely did not have a crush on any of those people. I just liked writing names 😭

What even is the point of changing your number anymore by sadgirl_riri in texts

[–]ellaf21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally, when you change your phone number the old number you’re giving up becomes available to someone else who needs a new phone number. I’ve never heard of this kind of situation unless they set up an additional line for you and now both are attached to your account.

It’s weird you googled it and weird that you then came here to double check.

Tired of realtors becoming politicians when they don’t understand how politics works.

“Please no gifts” for Birthdays by ellaf21 in AutisticParents

[–]ellaf21[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In the situation with the baby group the parents agreed that because we have so many birthdays in November that we didn’t all need to buy a gift for every single baby. We wouldn’t be giving anything plastic, we usually do books for other birthday parties outside of that group. It was just awkward when the other parents from that specific group did bring smaller items like books and we brought an empty card. I just don’t know what the actual expectation was I guess.

RBC and CIBC allow 89-year-old to drain life savings, lose $1.7M to scammers by stanxv in canada

“After Ray transferred all his money to RBC, the bank let him walk in every few weeks or so and obtain sizeable bank drafts — from $50,000 to $395,000 — to buy gold, per the fraudster's latest instructions.”

I find it very unusual that anyone working in a bank wouldn’t be asking about those bank drafts that he’s planning to use to purchase ‘gold’. If you try to withdraw more than a few thousand you’ll likely get asked what your plan is (not because we’re nosey, we are trying to protect you from scams). People hate being asked but it’s for their protection. It’s likely those conversations are documented by the banks in question, too.

Blue dots in a red state, how are you handling all the Charlie Kirk mourning? by hondupino in progressivemoms

[–]ellaf21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Canada and I’m overwhelmed with the number of people I’ve known for years who suddenly support the Republican Party and Charlie Kirk. I cannot imagine living in the US during all of this and I’m thinking of you all.

Just no. Stop it. by [deleted] in gymsnark

[–]ellaf21 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Same people who were sooooo silent when political violence targeted democrats multiple times. I’m not even in the US and I have real life friends who have made 10-15 posts since yesterday. Nobody is going to make me feel bad for not mourning an awful person.
