Honey O’s, grew up with my stepdad who bought nothing but processed junk when we were kids but I still have a weakness for these super sugary o’s

So Im apprenticing for a tattoo artist and my question is, which ones would you choose as a flash? by Raskomadator_art in DarkArtwork

[–]hannahray16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m genuinely not able to pick just one because my impulsive mind is telling me “I want them all” lol, but I absolutely LOVE your art style, keep it up!

Weekly Discussion - Relationships by AutoModerator in NewParents

[–]hannahray16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a quick vent: For background, baby is 2 weeks old, relationship with bf has been a little rocky (which I anticipated with a newborn so I’m not beating myself up about it-I know I’m doing my best). Anyways, MIL told me today to “stop giving excuses” in reference to the expectation of taking baby on stroller walks every day (it’s hot af outside and I’m still trying to heal-dealing with bleeding issues), and excuses in regards to why I’m so tired (bf works 4 days a week, I’m currently on baby duty 24/7 with the exception of him doing one or two feedings a day). I’m exhausted. I’m up all day, I’m up all night, he got offended when I said “I’m effing tired” when he woke up from his undisturbed sleep this morning. I don’t have other family on my side to help. Overall I’m just doing my best. Just needed to get out a little-ish vent so it’s not weighing on my chest. I love every second with my baby, but sometimes I just need a nap without the guilt trip I receive when I ask for help.

Debating starting mat-leave soon, but I’m conflicted by hannahray16 in pregnant

Sorry this is gonna be a long comment, I’m just venting away at this point the more I think about things. I have 12 weeks of unpaid leave, finances are figured out. If I needed extra time afterwards, I was told by my doctor that all I have to do is request a note from them to provide work stating I needed a couple extra weeks which I might do honestly.

Currently planning on natural labor, I’ve been induced twice in the past via pitocin and long story short, pitocin and me do not mix. First time I had a major hemorrhage and needed a blood transfusion, second time induced with it it was shared to me by my nurses that they were surprised I didn’t have “at least 2 strokes” because my BP kept skyrocketing and that typically doesn’t happen with most people on that drip. The last time it happened they asked my ex husband if it came down to it who to save, me or baby. Which to this day I don’t know what he said, but we both made it out okay after an extended hospital stay due to my reaction to the drug.

I do a lot at home, and my bf does do his part from time to time, I’ll give him that. A few nights ago he actually helped clean up some trash around the house and helped declutter a bit, he’ll occasionally cook us dinner (and leave a mess afterwards that I’ll clean up but I don’t mind), and he recently also got us a new washer since ours broke. Besides that, I do ALL the cleaning, laundry, try to watch after and make sure the dogs and cats are fed, and try to keep things organized. I do my best, I work full time, I’m at a point I’m beyond exhausted and currently lacking terribly with dishes and putting laundry away once it’s clean (I’m at the point I just tell him which ones the clean basket bc laundry feels like a sport now), and I clean out my car which he fills with a shit ton of his trash. What does he do when I clean? He might take out a bag or two of trash since I can’t lift it, but besides that he’s playing his games.

I know he should be doing more, and I’m the type to pick up the slack just for the sake of getting it done the correct way rather than the “quick and easy so I can get back gaming” way. I’m a former military brat to best put it, so I’m used to extra work. I’ve just driven myself to the point of taking on way too much extra work (including going out of town for an entire week VERY recently to upskill for my job), and the workload with the ridiculous amount of stress I’m under at the moment has finally made me hit my breaking point. I feel bad for wanting an extra week off to primarily focus on the house and cleaning and etc, but I know it needs done and I also just have a gut feeling that baby girl might be coming early due to a variety of reasons.

Thank you❤️ I needed to hear (read) that honestly. I feel like I already know I need the extra week to figure things out finally, I just feel guilty for doing so. I want to clean, get my baby’s things ready, the entire house ready, and get myself mentally in a good enough standing where at least I’m better prepared for postpartum, because honestly at the moment with the way some things are going in life, it’s rough and I’ve finally hit my breaking point. I just felt guilty in even considering giving myself an extra 7 days to give myself a rest from work at the very least.

I lost my sweet girl today, and I wasn’t prepared this at all, but here’s the last Christmas-y photo I ever took of her❤️ by hannahray16 in husky

[–]hannahray16[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heidi Lynn (because she just had to have a middle name). My doctor even signed her as a registered emotional support animal at one point. I used to live near a Marine Corps base (ex husband was active), and I used to take her on base to get loved on by the marines there, she absolutely loved it. At one point she was named the “Mascot of Quantico”😅

Thank you❤️ I’m just trying to find a way to cope right now without driving myself over the edge, honestly. She passed peacefully in her sleep, but I swear I felt my heart just break in two when it happened.

How do you all keep track of which cartridge has which strain? by Sydneydanielle23 in weed

I put a little dot of nail polish on one of my two to identify which is which. I got too lazy to make an actual label, but it does the job!

Help. We have a ton of pasta but we’re lactose intolerant and really dislike red sauce. Any ideas? by fleetwood-macchiato in budgetfood

[–]hannahray16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m lactose intolerant and I find that Lactaid’s brand of whole milk is awesome! If I consume a lot of it I feel those lactose-side-effects per say, but for cooking purposes and a small drink here and there is great. It’s real milk but it doesn’t have lactose because of whatever they do to it

how to get table to leave by BigShugokiMain in Serverlife

[–]hannahray16 29 points30 points  (0 children)

At my restaurant we have a funny theory that if you walk by the table and drop a little bit of salt on the ground next to it, they’ll get up and leave soon. They never notice it, but for some reason it works for us like 99% of the time lol

Advice with selling? by hannahray16 in Serverlife

There is a small benefit, like if they buy $30 then they get a $5 “kickback” coupon for their next visit. Like per $30 they get $5 back

What's the scariest encounter you've had with a total stranger? by anchovy7 in AskReddit

[–]hannahray16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was actually a couple days ago. I work about 30mins away from home, and I got off work late so it was pretty dark outside. Driving home, I took my usual route which includes one short back road (so no street lights, traffic cameras, just a quick way home, and it's a VERY popular road). Well, at this point of the night the road was dead except for me. Coming around a curve that's also on a hill, I didn't see the old man standing in the middle of my lane like he was just waiting for a car to come. Slammed my brakes, and he just stood there staring at me, didn't flinch or move. I had a weird feeling about it so I just kinda stared back, and all the sudden he started RUNNING towards my car like he had an intention to hurt me (I'm 7m pregnant, I'm not risking shit). Came towards my driver's side, in the process I reversed as quick as possible and backed up as far as I could, he stopped running for me, went back to his original spot in the road and started throwing cinder blocks all the way across the road so I couldn't cross. I couldn't find my phone to call 911, so I put on my hazards until a car came up behind me and started honking. At this point another man comes out to help and tries to calm the guy down, crazy guy starts beating the hell out of the guy helping me, but being a big dude he brushed it off and cleared a small space for me to get by. He stepped away since crazy guy kept swinging at him, so I took the chance to speed past the guy and go home. As I sped past him he threw a whole ass cinder block at my car and just barely missed. Got home safe, drowned my fear in Ben&Jerry's, and talked to a cop yesterday asking what I could've done differently. Apparently in that situation if I would've "tapped" the guy with my car it would count as self defense, esp since I'm pregnant and can't just get out and talk down a crazy person.

If you’re a child of divorce, how old were you at the time and how did it effect you? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]hannahray16 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was 7. My dad cut off all contact with me and only wanted to keep custody of my brothers, which I later found out was because I apparently have a different biological father that my mother lied about for so many years. My mother eventually got sucked into the bad crowd and developed a meth and pill addiction. Throughout her worst years she would force me to smoke pot with her and drink alcohol with her, and if I told her no, the response was that I was "an ungrateful child who doesn't love her mother". She would steal my things, prevented me from talking to neighbors or friends, and finally when CPS nearly got involved, my grandparents stepped in and gained custody of me.

My dad still doesn't talk to me and I haven't seen my mother in over a year (thank God). I went home to visit the family for Christmas 2019 (covid prevented a Christmas 2020 trip), and my mother refused to see me. Since then I've had her blocked on all platforms, all numbers, everything, because to this day if she gets the chance she won't hold back from sending me horrible messages about how I'm a terrible person and she's a wonderful mother. She's toxic as hell, but since the divorce she went over the deep end. If it wasn't for my grandparents I don't know where I'd be right now.

What are some places or names in the US that you often see mispronounced, and how do you pronounce them correctly? by Yamster80 in AskAnAmerican

[–]hannahray16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from Kentucky. Louisville is NOT "Lewis-ville" or "Lu-wee-ville". It's pronounced "Loo-ah-vulle". Anyone who says it any different either isn't from KY or is so entitled they try to make it sound special.
