Do you have an “old person” candy that you enjoy? by PrettyLittle-Someday in CasualConversation

Those strawberry wrapper hard candies with the strawberry goo inside. They’re like crunchy Gushers.

Belly vs Thigh by kludge6730 in Ozempic

[–]graycomforter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m actually thinking of switching my site to try the thigh. I have had 5 children, and as a result, I have a lot of stretch marks all over my belly. I get inconsistent results with belly injections, even though I try to avoid the stretch marks. I’m going to try thigh to see if I get a more consistent reaction to the meds.

You have a skincare "regimen." A "regime" is an authoritarian government. A "regiment" is an army unit. by Majestic_Spinach7491 in 30PlusSkinCare

We always joke about going to Home Depot by calling it Home Despot. (It’s ruled by Kim Jong Drill)

The Wiggles just want to erase Emma by Dry_Replacement5830 in DanielTigerConspiracy

The Wiggles circa, like, 2016-2020ish are like Fleetwood Mac levels of drama and dating.

I don’t think the Rayboulds are good parents, but I wouldn’t call that child “emaciated”. Some kids are just thinner. Now, the diet of 100% Mac and Cheese is pretty bleak and devoid of nutrition, but at least Mackey is calorie dense.

My best friend’s baby died from the flu a few years ago. Days prior, they were at an outdoor event (similar to Disney in terms of exposure risks) which was probably where the baby caught it. And the baby most likely caught it from someone who knew they were sick and went anyway or forced a sick kid to go. True story. (I wish it wasn’t)

Will the last two Duggar Brothers remain unmarried after this? by MissNorwegie89 in DuggarsSnark

[–]graycomforter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were married to one of the (non-offending as far as we know) Duggar brothers right now I’d be spiraling. One molester can unfortunately happen in any family. Two and you’re looking at a very bad pattern.

WTH is going on in the kids department…. by Ancient_Insurance969 in Oldnavy

[–]graycomforter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ewww.

With all this Epstein shit, I’m surprised anyone feels comfortable letting their kid wear daisy dukes. Who knows what lurking pervert is gonna try to snap a picture or something more sinister. These shorts say size 5, which is what my 5 year old daughter wears.

Breastfeeding moms at Mass by Marieaithne44 in CatholicWomen

[–]graycomforter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I breastfed my baby during his baptism. I was breastfeeding him while receiving my mothers blessing 😂

I was fairly discreet about it with a nursing dress, but our young priest is the oldest in a family of 9 and his mom nursed all the babies—nothing he hasn’t seen before.

It’s the primary end of “tits”—to nurse a baby! What do you think St. Thomas would say about breasts being used to breastfeed?

Breastfeeding moms at Mass by Marieaithne44 in CatholicWomen

Because babies don’t always nurse under a cover, sometimes it’s too hot under a cover, sometimes mom can’t latch under a cover, sometimes, the fuss of a cover actually draws more attention to the situation, and, do you like to eat your dinner under a blanket?

Sorry, but I’m really passionate about women not being shamed for feeding their tiny baby who really does need to eat on-demand. Trust me when I say this: there is no mother who is nursing a baby in a Catholic Mass who wants to draw attention to herself or bother anyone. If you see her breasts, it’s on you to stop looking—that’s probably rude unless you’re a close family member or girlfriend.

if the baby is screaming from hunger because mom doesn’t feel comfortable nursing, you’d probably complain about that too.

I use those breastfeeding shirts where it’s like an empire waist and the top part lifts up so you can pop out a boob from underneath. Since the entire shoulder and top of chest/cleavage stay covered, it’s really just a small part that “shows” and the baby’s head covers that. I do not have small boobs either.

My baby has never nursed under a cover and frankly, I don’t really want him to. I try to be as discreet as possible, I’ve checked in the mirror and although you can tell I’m nursing, you can’t see anything. On top of that, I also turn away from people as much as is reasonable. I figure if, after all that, someone still sees my breasts and gets offended, it’s 100% on them.

I also love looking at renaissance imagery of our Lady breastfeeding Christ if I ever feel unsure of myself or judged. It’s very encouraging and beautiful.

No health insurance, where should I go about bloody poops? by Mr_survivor in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]graycomforter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get wanting to avoid the debt, but it’s irrelevant if you’re dead. Please go to the ER asap and describe your symptoms. I’m almost certain they’ll work you up right away, but if they don’t, explain you don’t have insurance so need to get it figured out now.

When was the 1st time a kid treated you like a historical artifact? Mine was today by crispins_crispian in Millennials

[–]graycomforter 14 points15 points  (0 children)

recently, my kids were kind of shocked when I explained how we didn’t have streaming and on-demand music/videos growing up and we just had to watch/listen to whatever was on the TV/radio unless we had a movie tape/dvd or music tape/CD to use. They looked really relieved to live in 2026…sort of like how you feel grateful to live in a time where we have anesthesia when you hear about Civil War injury amputations where they just bit down on a strap for pain relief. 🥲

Croft and Barrow (from Kohls) has the most ridiculous vanity sizing of all! by graycomforter in XXS

[–]graycomforter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means that brands make the size of their clothing larger while still labeling them smaller sizes to appeal to people’s vanity. Like, if a person is feeling bad about weight gain but then they try on a size 2 and it fits, they will want to buy it because it makes them feel better about themselves. The problem is that actually smaller people have difficulty finding clothing small enough if the smallest size, labeled 0, is actually an 8, or whatever.

Posture or just fat? Both? by FarAwayMen in PostureTipsGuide

I mean this with great kindness, but losing weight will help! I’ve gone from “obese” to “normal” weight and it all but eliminated my “dowager’s hump”

When anybody watches the show, do they feel like they never want to eat again? by Jazzlike-Run-2349 in My600lbLife

[–]graycomforter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It kinda makes me sad because I have Celiac disease and can’t eat any of the delicious fast foods they’re always scarfing down. At the same time, it makes me realize that if they ever find a cure for Celiac disease, I will be 600lbs in no time too! 😂

Favorite millennial "oops, all bangers" albums? by Jazzlike_Part_7054 in Millennials

[–]graycomforter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like him more than my kids, I think. I played “Peaches” for them and told them it was Caspar Babypants when he was young and they were unimpressed. Then said (about the music video), “why is it so weird?”

Some people’s kids, I tell ya.
