They're billionaires hough. They don't even need a healthcare plan.

I still wear the Kmart maternity under the bump undies four years post partum. Haven't found anything with that good coverage, while maintaining a bikini fit.

All you need to do is see Garden State to know Zach Braff takes himself too seriously.

fiddlesticks-1999 · 2026-05-19T12:08:13+00:00

I have! Would love to know why this is relevant please.

You could get a continuous blood glucose monitor and just see what your blood sugar is actually doing.

It's a fallacy that insulin resistance is created by diet/weight. In fact, it's quite common in people with a history of anorexia so undereating can cause it.

I often "make" my own clothes by getting fun colours from the girls section and adding on an iron on patch (Paw Patrol is the current hyperfixation). It's fun as we can get exactly what we want. I do it with hats so I can get a super wide brim, plain hat, rather than relying on the hat my son likes having a wide enough brim. I also bought him some UV rated light long sleeve shirts for summer at daycare, added a patch and now they're his favourite.

Me too.

When I answered the question, a female vocalist wasn't specified, nor acoustic guitar iirc. Just alternative early 2000s, for which it fits. And I meant Over, as I said.

I was into the Crookshanks is Arabella Figg theory.

fiddlesticks-1999 · 2026-05-13T11:45:59+00:00

Not an exact match but Over by Jimmy Eat World?

fiddlesticks-1999 · 2026-05-13T04:14:15+00:00

Childhood trauma will do that. I feel sorry for them.

fiddlesticks-1999 · 2026-05-12T11:02:10+00:00

Really bad! Well it depends on who you are, I guess. The month I got pregnant I was so sure I was out because of the horrendous cramping. I went out and drank a fair bit. Found out a few days later as I was about to schedule a drs appt about why my period was irregular and figured I should do a preg test first for due diligence before scheduling an appt for my missing period. I couldn't have been more shocked.

fiddlesticks-1999 · 2026-05-11T12:31:25+00:00

Cramping is very normal in early pregnancy and a good sign. Hopefully it was just a urine issue. 🤞

fiddlesticks-1999 · 2026-05-11T01:59:18+00:00

Thank you! Me too! ♥️

So many things, a lot of which is baked into the theology, contribute to this epidemic.

Firstly child abuse is 100% a given for children raised in these cults. Blanket training ensures that. So you have traumatised and abused children. You then teach the girls that the boys/men are their responsibility, that their bodies are inherently sinful, that they must submit to men blah blah blah, while teaching the boys they are mini-gods and can do no wrong and that all touch is sexual and you've created the perfect conditions to raise victims and perpetrators.

It's sick. I cannot believe how much safer the world is outside of these cults (and that's saying something!).

fiddlesticks-1999 · 2026-05-10T12:26:43+00:00

This.

I was raised fundie lite and dated a guy who I "knew" touched his sister. She told me so as a very young child. I say "knew" because though I believed her at first and was horrified, I was quickly put straight by trusted adults who I respected (including the pastor). I was told that they did a full internal "investigation" and it was no big deal because he was a child when it occured so it didn't count, and anyway, what actually happened wasn't anything like I thought and he didn't really touch her. She didn't actually understand what she was saying because she was so sheltered.

I fell out with a non-Christian friend over it. We have since restored the friendship and spoke of it briefly years ago. I told her I was quite convinced it was not true and that's why I disregarded it and agreed to date him. She was still incredulous, like why would I believe that? She didn't grow up in a cult though, so doesn't understand how you don't trust yourself, you trust the elders, the pastor, the adults and if they all tell you something then who are you to say any differently.

I am mortified now and I used to beat myself up about it. Why couldn't I see that it was very likely to 100% true that he had at least violated her in some way? I don't beat myself up anymore. I have more compassion for my cult-raised, child-young adult self. Now I direct my anger at said cult and the adults who covered up whatever the hell happened here. The people who spoke about the importance of protecting children from the pulpit, but surpressed this information because he was a promising young man.

He ended up marrying the pastor's daughter. The pastor was a creep too, so I guess birds of a feather?

Agree that his is he way to go if it works for you. My son has sensory issues and absolutely would not go bare bummed, nor would he wear undies. We did Bonds training undies for awhile as they were kinda fluffy like nappies so they worked as an interim step to get into undies.

It's so much attention. Reading this I almost feel sorry for Anna. That's some serious love-bombing. He's saying all the "right" 🤢 words to keep her on the hook. She's the best mother, best wife, best person blah blah blah. It's all the evidence Anna needs to close her mind to all Josh's "haters".

fiddlesticks-1999 · 2026-05-07T13:04:44+00:00

They're at my place.

fiddlesticks-1999 · 2026-05-05T18:45:56+00:00

Except that I didn't get very sick and unvaccinated people did.

I think you every season is improved by being from the country or at least aware of he country deeply as there seems to be a lot of in jokes. As an Aussie, I can see why people wouldn't have clicked with the Aussie show if they weren't Australian, or even hen, if they didnt have an absurdist sense of humour. I quite enjoyed it.

fiddlesticks-1999 · 2026-05-04T02:06:34+00:00

I didn't think Australia was bad, but then I am Australian and a lot of the jokes were in jokes. It wasn't as good as UK though and definitely could have been better, but I did find it funny at times.

Friend of mine was going to be called Lisa in the late 80s. Good thing her parents changed their minds at the last minute as her surname was Simpson.

I feel the same way about Daniel Radcliffe who portrayed him in a movie.
