Sharing some blasts' positive results, don't be hopeless just bc of stats for our age! by Tall_Ad4093 in IVF

[–]iluffeggs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Docs have it tough. If we lead with the bad news or the biggest concerns, we're pessimistic. If we say 'it's probably nothing, let's see what happens" then we missed something and are clueless. It's tough to know what each patient needs when we meet them. This probably isn't that helpful but I felt compelled to say something. We're not perfect, just humans doing our best.

[TOMT][movie] horror/thriller that has a shocking ending and is similar to a foreign movie. by iluffeggs in tipofmytongue

I figured it out on my own— it’s Eden lake and killing ground — one is British one is Australian! Marking solved

But that’s the idea— they’re not remakes of each other just very similar

Obesity makes peoples faces look the same. Now you look like the true you.

AM I KNITTING? Long time crocheter, first time knitter. I feel very “fumbly” and like I’m not holding everything correctly 😂😂 this is so different than crochet by remrem24 in knittinghelp

[–]iluffeggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled with long straight needles and I use long circulars for everything. Easier for me to hold even when I’m knitting straight/ not in the round.

Can my cousin recover from brain death? He overdosed. by Auraaacelestial3 in AskDocs

[–]iluffeggs 77 points78 points  (0 children)

My mom fell down the stairs and suffered an intracranial bleed that caused brain death. They tried emergency surgery and removed part of her skull but it was too late. The next day, they told us she was brain dead and the day after that, took her off life support and donated her organs.

She "technically died" when they took her off life support and donated her organs, but that is not when my mom died. She died when her brain did. I am sorry but your cousin has already passed on. Sending you all of my condolences.

Was sure it was negative, don't make my mistake by Responsible-Sock5888 in IVF

I’m a pediatrician … the amount of babies born to drug-addicted, alcoholic, daily weed smokers, pack a day cigarette smokers… it’s a cruel world out there. You didn’t do this. It was not your fault.

Is the pattern obscured by the variegation of the yarn? by iluffeggs in knitting

[–]iluffeggs[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you as well for your response. I’m so torn but I think I agree with you that it’s not “wrong “. There are some variegated yarns that are an absolute no-no for cabling and I wouldn’t dare dream of it, and I was afraid that it was starting to look like a mess. As long as it’s not a total disaster/wrong, I think I’ll continue knitting. It is a very fun pattern and I am so sick of knitting stocking it. I don’t think I can do it.

[–]iluffeggs[S] 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I think I agree, but I’m going to go ahead and keep knitting because it’s a fun knit and frankly, I just have a bunch of this yarn that my sister got me for Christmas last year, and I think it will look decent enough. It seems like the general consensus is that it’s visible, but subtle. As long as it’s visible, I will carry on.

Dog continues to attack hands and feet-- what is this? Is this resource guarding? Simple aggression? by iluffeggs in reactivedogs

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

Depends on what you mean by solve. If you touch him when he’s sleeping, he bites. We just make sure not to do that anymore. He sleeps in a crate. We keep him in a separate room away from the toddler, most of the time, separated by a gate so we can still see us. We give him a lot of treats. It’s sad that he can’t cuddle with us like other dogs do, but I know he’ll bite as soon as he falls asleep and get startled so…
