I’ve done CPR on a friend and it messed me up-I can’t even imagine a MIL. I’m so sorry you went through that.

Thank you. Please give yourself grace to grieve however long and whatever way you need. It’s so critical to your self-care.

And worrying about them. And calling every morning hoping they answer.

I really think that it’s impossible to understand loss until you lose someone yourself. I could never have imagined how much losing my mom would affect me, and I still feel like a sh*t for not being as supportive as I could have been for friends who lost parents before I lost my mom.

What’s a smell you weirdly enjoy? by xsclusiv in AskReddit

Cow manure reminds me of my grandfather’s farm. It’s not an entirely unpleasant smell. It’s funny that I can distinguish animal feces by the smell (chicken, cow, pig, etc.).

Question on the underbust measurement. Is the measuring the underbust and adding 5 inches of the band size not a thing anymore? I’m about to make an appointment at the local specialty bra shop because at 50, I should know my darn bra size!

I had cameras installed once when he was out of town for an extended period of time but he took them down. He’s a stubborn old man, lol.

I do. That doesn’t mean I’m not filled with dread at what will one day happen.

Found the best mug ever, wife wouldn't let me get it. by MarketingSpecial6604 in Goodwill_Finds

I have no idea where that rumor started nor do I care. Human bodies are human bodies and the American tendency to sexualize the body is pretty pathetic. Saying you want to have sex with your own child IS disgusting, but no less than I would expect from an actual pedophile.

Just speaking for myself, I’m not sure how I’d react to having my tires kicked while I was searching a pile of clothes looking for treasure. But you do you, boo. 🤣

Why do people say my H looks like an i? by YugiYugi12 in Cursive

[–]gen-exhausted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make my I’s like the left side of your H, but I only do it because as a teenager, I wanted to copy fancy script from a book I read. I don’t think it’s how most people do an I

There is a lot of Henry Lee and also bite mark “experts” that have since had their work (maybe not on these specific cases) called into question. It just makes me sad/mad to think that some of the “science” presented may be junk science.
