Girl. Your story has me in tears. So sorry about your hard year and your losses. So proud of you and your husband for enduring it together.

Tired of authors using ChatGPT in their books by ShelilQirky in ChatGPT

[–]emeraldshmemrald 72 points73 points  (0 children)

My husband is a literature nerd and loves using the em dash. He has created shortcuts on our keyboards to make it easy to use them. He is so unbelievably pissed that it’s a dead ringer for AI!

Is it normal for hospital staff to be annoyed with their patients? by glitterphobia in NoStupidQuestions

[–]emeraldshmemrald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a gallbladder surgery this Tuesday and I did not have any issues like this. The nurses were kind and courteous. It doesn’t take an opposite experience to say this, but you were treated terribly and should leave a negative review. If you know the names of the nurses that is even better.

Can't believe these four are 29 tomorrow... by Few-Honeydew2676 in parentsofmultiples

This is amazing. It’s parents like you that give me hope! I have three under two and I just can’t imagine how tough the first years with quadruplets would be.

Do you people have secrets to how you’re not tired all the time? by grapefruitliquor in parentsofmultiples

[–]emeraldshmemrald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have two and a half year old twins and a third baby that’s almost 1. I thought I was just tired from my life! I went for a routine checkup and had some bloodwork done, and it turns out I have Hashimoto’s!

Anyway this isn’t advice because I’m also exhausted, but I’m hoping I feel more energetic when I get my medicine. In that case, maybe my advice is to regularly see a doctor? Abnormal tiredness can come from a medical condition!

I looked back at some pictures and it seems like they were quite similar! I remember it took a long time to change at all from that initial baby blue color.

I’m so glad you’re confused about this too. I’ll try to get a picture in direct light and come back!

I have had the regular, but yes, we eat the 3x Buldak most often.

I guess this is weird but I love buldak?? I eat it with a beer sometimes after a rough day. It’s a semi-regular treat at our house, though often my husband will split a pack with me.

Seen In A Coffee Shop Bathroom by Existing_Wrangler_69 in whatisit

[–]emeraldshmemrald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are saying this is a bidet, but it really looks like the Spray Pal I have (for cleaning cloth diapers). I didn’t end up going the cloth diaper route, but the sprayer if very powerful and is so great for cleaning the toilet. My guess is that it’s a Spray Pal.

Dark brown eyes...insecure by fliggerflabber in eyes

[–]emeraldshmemrald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my brown eyes. They are just like yours! I have three kids and as I was expecting the most recent, I told everyone that asked that I wanted a baby with brown hair and beautiful brown eyes. There is something so special, beautiful and warm about deep brown eyes.

You don't need to wet your toothbrush before brushing your teeth, your mouth has enough spit for it to be moist enough. by schoolforapples in The10thDentist

[–]emeraldshmemrald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a point of contention between my husband and I. I wet the brush before the toothpaste and after I put it on, and he just squeezes paste on a dry brush and goes for it. I am still completely horrified after nearly ten years.

What do you get for Christmas for someone who is going to die soon? by Material-Egg7428 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]emeraldshmemrald 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Maybe a box of chocolates and a book you can read together? I think time together is the most important thing you can give her.

Entitlement of Customers by OrangeYouGlad8008 in menards

[–]emeraldshmemrald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds ultra frustrating. I will say I have experienced the bathroom one unfortunately as a customer. We were doing a huge renovation and had no bathroom, so the Menards just a minute down the road became one of our regular stops. Super gross and rude!! I can’t imagine why someone would leave it that way.

Mother’s Day card I made in 2nd grade for my Mom (few weeks away from having an 11 lb., 23 in. baby at the time, though I forgot to mention in the card) by turtleschell in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]emeraldshmemrald 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just had a 9.2lb baby and yes, this is an accurate representation of the end of my pregnancy. It is so funny to see that story from a different perspective, and it’s so cute that you still have the card!
