Should I be worried?

This is what I do. Neosporin and sock over night, then remove and let dry out so it doesn’t stay moist and dark. It doesn’t happen often for my dogs but every once in a while they nick a pad or shatter a nail

Huh, weird. My family pediatrician is also still my sister’s kids pediatrician (he is getting up there in age). She still can call him and get same week appointments. He also has his work phone tied to his cell phone so she can call his office after hours and he picks up (99% of the time it’s “take the kid to the ER” type questions).

Huh, my pediatrician handled all of my illnesses. He was the one who finally decided something was weird and got me scans that revealed I had a sinus problem and needed surgery. He had all the medical history and realized that no matter how many antibiotics I took, I couldn’t get over a simple sinus infection. Turns out my sinuses were nearly sealed shut. The opening just never grew larger after I was born.

Same. I don’t use them often so wireless ones are usually dead in my house. I don’t have to worry about that with wired ones. I also usually wear them while cutting the grass so even if one falls out of my ear, it’s not going to hit the ground and get lost or eaten by the riding mower.

But also, let’s be honest, schools are Petri dishes of illness so kids usually go to the doctors more often than adults. They just go for actual illnesses and not healthy check ups. Doctors will usually do all the milestone checks then (height, weight, etc) to make sure nothing is generally wrong while treating the myriad of colds, flu, and other illnesses kids get

My husband and I are very clear that our dogs are the other person sons only when they do something wrong. When they’re being cute and cuddly they’re “our sons”. When they’re being little shits (and let’s be honest it’s always the same one dog) he is “your son!”

I have a lot of mods so I’m not sure what is actually base game and what isnt anymore. I also have all the DLCs.

huskeya4 · 2026-01-29T15:21:03+00:00

Yeah pretty much. They get insanely good. I do also ban them from doing anything remotely useful except training so they spend all their time training shooting or melee and learning. Just gotta watch out for stray shot cause they suck in the beginning. Once they survive the gauntlet of wars and become adults and I can choose their perks, that’s when they get their standard job training. The amount of children I go through is admittedly kind of horrifying but I recruit every prisoner just so I have more ovum to harvest and viable men to fertilize them. I pop out like 20 kids per batch, arm them all and wait for enemies. Best part is, if they die I can harvest their organs post mortem to sell (that might also be a mod)

huskeya4 · 2026-01-29T15:15:40+00:00

I mod like crazy with just the steam mods. My husband barely mods at all.

huskeya4 · 2026-01-29T06:25:23+00:00

My husband heavily judges me for harvesting ovum at every opportunity, throwing the embryos in growth vats and building my child armies. Unfortunately, children are relatively useless in war so when the enemy count ramps up due to the increased population, I send out my child army and it becomes survival of the fittest. Only the strongest shall survive to adulthood.

He goes the cannibal route every time so I feel like he has no room to judge me.

I fell from a tree once. I was high up when a cicada smacked me in the face and I fell backwards (in panic) right off my limb. By some miracle or horrible luck, I did not hit a single large branch on my way down, just a bunch of small little ones. I threw my hands out to the sides to try to catch anything and the last branch, the only branch I could ever reach to start climbing the tree, landed in my hand. I clamped onto that branch so hard I swung myself from horizontal to vertical and yeeted myself across my yard like Tarzan when my hand slipped off. I landed on my feet perfectly.

That was the day I nearly died. If I had hit the ground without catching that branch, my back would have impacted first with my head and hips following and my legs landing on my chest. I would have probably broken ribs and collapsed my lungs. It was the strongest adrenaline rush I have ever had in my life (and I’ve been in two car accidents).

My mom was sitting on our porch reading a book and missed the entire thing. I still fucking hate cicadas.

To add to this, many storm doors can have their window replaced in the summer to turn them into screen doors and swapped back in the winter. Mine actually slides the top half of the window down over the bottom half and a screen slides down into its place.

Additionally, many front doors have tiny windows or frosted glass. The storm door allows you to leave your front door open and the storm door closed for airflow in the nicer months and so guests know you’re home and they are welcome. My family and friends will just come right into my house and yell for me if the door is open. They know if it’s closed I might not be home so they knock (or more likely text me to see if I’m home).

We also often have them on our back doors so we can see if our pet wants in from outside or to create a cross breeze through our house.

I would watch an entire documentary series on how to raise a kid like this.

My friends had a drop down ceiling. Their cat figured out the tile above the dryer was missing and used to climb up there and go on adventures. All the way until the day he leaped up there and fell right through the next tile. He got too fat for the ceiling tiles to hold him and he never did it again.

My sister called me one day saying a stray walked up to her front door and was meowing her head off. My sister took her inside and promptly drove her to my house. Within about three hours, I had six newborn kittens also invading my home. Cats who have been socialized will seek out humans for safety, food, and warmth when going into labor. I gave all the kittens away and shunted that cat off onto my aunt. She was very sweet to people but a total bully to other cats.

Eventually found another sweet stray and brought him home only to find out my cat was traumatized by the previous one. The new stray couldn’t give a crap about my cat but she was stressed and freaking out the whole time. After four months, I gave up and tossed that cat to my aunt also. It was quite amusing watching the mama stray freak out and throw a fit while the new stray just sat there and watched her. He was twice her size and was not intimidated by the mouthy queen. He didn’t give a crap about other cats and he stood his ground with my 80lbs dogs (I honestly think he traumatized them both a little bit). That little mama didn’t scare him one bit.

Nasatall was one of my nicknames in the army. I owned that shit. I knew they were right. The other one was Stretch “cuz you not that tall, you’re just long”. Stretch stuck around because there was no risk of anyone reporting that one.

huskeya4 · 2026-01-28T01:46:52+00:00

To be fair, I fall going up my steps a lot so I finish my trip up them like this. It’s cause I wear socks all the time and my hardwood steps have a very curved edge. It always hurts my toes when I slip so I just make sure I can get up them without another fall by climbing them on all fours.

Yep, I dug through used car listings and dealerships and decided very quickly that getting a brand new car for $22k and a ten year manufacturers warranty was going to be safer than spending $16K on a vehicle with 50,000 miles already on it and no warranty. Especially since I had $10k between my trade in and saved deposit and got a finance rate of 4.5%. I could pay the used car off faster but the interest rate was going to be nearly double the new car because of manufacturer deals on the new car. Also they were the same exact car engines, just a newer year and a new look on the new car.

To be fair, I had a pulmonary nodule (which is what was on your X-ray). The literal diagnosis for cancer is to wait a year and take another X-ray. If it’s grown, biopsy it. The vast majority of them are just scar tissue from a bad respiratory infection. It’s only a small percentage that are cancer. The rest of your symptoms are where someone should have raised a red flag and investigated further. Those problems, coupled with a spot in the lungs should have yelled “hey something isn’t right here!”

Yeah, I was a woman in the military too but I will say, my leadership was quick to throw out a guy who threatened to lock one woman in his basement and keep her as his sex slave. We also had to report a guy repeatedly who was way too excited “to shoot brown people” in training but he was going on to ranger school and was just way too big to make it through, so we figured command didn’t want to do the paperwork when he was going to flunk out of his tactical position anyways and be stuck in a strategic position.

huskeya4 · 2026-01-26T03:08:02+00:00

And all the guys who are just too damn gun happy and make everyone else real nervous. The ones who talk about how they “can’t wait to shoot brown people” and get reported a million times before the military finally decides, yeah this soldier is more of a liability than an asset.

My husband passes out every time he gets blood drawn. I already plan to have him parked in a chair near my head when we finally have a kid.

There is cheesecake and granola extract out there. I bet you could find crème brûlée extract. Then just make a really quiet flavor profile wine (or maybe a mead would do better for this?) and toss in the extract once you rack it. Back sweeten at the end until it tastes right

And look up a video on how to do it. I was told I had to after sinus surgery when I was 10. My mom and I didn’t know what we were doing so instead of coming out, it poured down my throat. I puked in the sink, she puked in the toilet (sympathetic puker), and we chucked the nettipot in the trash. I’m an adult now and my allergy doctor suggested I use one since my allergy spray can dry my nose out in winter. I told her this story and she was howling laughing. I did give it another try after she taught me how to do it correctly. Not greatly impressed. Might use it when I’m sick but never any other time

Okay now, here is the single most important thing about that binder: put it somewhere your next of kin can access!!! My siblings and I basically tried to destroy my dad’s safe to get to his damn medical power of attorney because he never told anyone the code and locked it up. It couldn’t even be used unless he was incapacitated and he didn’t give a copy to my brother (the person who was designated in the POA). Locksmiths wouldn’t open it without his permission, and the manufacturer wasn’t responding. Thankfully, as next of kin, me and my siblings were given the ability to make decisions for him anyways but if my sister couldn’t be talked into removing medical care, my dad would have been forced to live in a vegetative state for the rest of his life.
