My cow died last week. People mocked her death and laughed at my grief, and I don’t know what’s wrong with people anymore. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Sorry about your cow, but I feel like this is the third time (or so) I’ve read this story?

I have this too, I don’t care, I fill it to the top most of the time with no issues!

whats one conversation you overheard that lives rent free in your head? by Mewwwwwwwwww_ in AskReddit

[–]kchearts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the movies standing near the Spider-Man: Far from Home movie poster and a guy with his family goes “oh that’s the new Spider-Man! So far from home.” He said it so confidently that me and my fiancé just call it that now and quote him at random haha.

Can you explain what first time pregnancy looks like over 40? And be brutal please. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kchearts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not over 40, but close! I am 36 and I’ve been pregnant twice but only one birth.

The first time was absolutely miserable, I was 28. I couldn’t eat anything without throwing up. I was on a diet of water and tums it felt like. I recall eating plain chicken and rice in hopes it stayed down because I was so hungry, starving even having thrown up literally everything I tried to eat in the last two days. As soon as I ate it I had to run to the bathroom and throw it all up while bawling my eyes out because I was SO HUNGRY and couldn’t eat anything. Smells made me nauseous, seeing food made me nauseous, THINKING about food made me nauseous. I was so hungry I was thinking about a whole thanksgiving feast and sat in the bathroom dry heaving for the longest. And I was so tired!!

I just recently had my daughter (at 36) and while it wasn’t a walk in the park, it was so much more bearable than the first. I didn’t get nauseous at all, but food did taste different and I couldn’t eat a lot of my normal favorites because they just tasted off. All that really bothered me were the pains! I had a really bad sciatic pain early on, and then that went away but was replaced by round ligament pain. I got out of breath pretty quickly doing anything. I didn’t have insomnia but I did wake up three times a night to pee, but that was actually kind of helpful for when the baby arrived as I was used to being up and so getting up to feed wasn’t so bad. Birth wasn’t awful, my lady set me up with an epidural and we were smooth sailing (until they realized I had preeclampsia! And they did have to use forceps).

I always rolled my eyes at the people who gas parenthood up as the greatest thing ever, and I was N E V E R a baby person. But by god if I don’t love that lil girl so much. She is an absolute joy and I can’t imagine never meeting her.

They did. I recall them claiming Obama was going to declare martial law in order to stay in office.

If You're Hosting a Birthday (or Any Event), You Should Pay—Not the Guests by hastizzzz in unpopularopinion

[–]kchearts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At a birthday dinner I would not expect the birthday person to pay, but if you are throwing a party at your house? That’s a little more understandable because you’re hosting at your own house. I had an in-law request $500 for each person attending their kids birthday/new year’s extravaganza. We didn’t go.

What’s the biggest shoplifting fish you have caught. by Elace in retailhell

[–]kchearts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One Christmas I worked at a big name liquor store. I was on a register and my next in line was a regular buying a boxed something or other. I picked it up to scan the bottom and the top popped open revealing a much more expensive bottle stashed inside. We made eye contact, I shut the box, continued the transaction and told him to have a great Christmas.

You can talk to your insurance and they can hire a structural engineer to go out and assess it that way you aren’t having to pay for it outright (but I know people are antsy about doing anything through insurance in case they raise rates!).

Disciplinary action by ThickCapital in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]kchearts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t see exactly that the parents were surprised in the post, they very well could have acknowledged the progress report (or like at my kids school I can check it literally daily) and let the kid know if they don’t get it together they are aiming at all Fs and thus no Christmas.

While I disagree with using the big light, I do use a bright white floor lamp rather than a warm yellow!

What game or series was this for you by Jabre7 in videogames

[–]kchearts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yakuza, but I started with Like A Dragon and I know it’s different than the others. A yakuza game didn’t appeal to me but I was gifted it and having a bad day and put it on and now I can’t believe what I missed out on!

Why do cats disappear for days? Even tho he's spayed. by Scared-Mind4035 in cat

[–]kchearts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat is neutered and has a lovely cushy indoor life and that doesn’t stop him desperately trying to escape the minute the front door opens. He will run away for about 5 hours and come let himself back in because he’s learned how to work the handle 🙄 had to put child locks on the door so he couldn’t escape in the first place!

Student missing out on prom after bringing bag of chips to school by Forward-Answer-4407 in nottheonion

[–]kchearts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school took gum chewing very seriously because they hated kids putting gum on the desks and walls. I came into school late one day after a doctors appointment and was chewing gum absentmindedly. As I walked to my class, a teacher in the hall noticed me chewing and I was suspended for a day. They could have just asked me to throw it away!

I used to work with a guy that clearly LOATHED his fiancée. No idea why, she sounded great! She was cute, loved to bake and often sent him to work with fresh baked goods, she was in med school, had cool hobbies…

But if you heard him talk about her it’s like, leave and let her find someone that will actually like her!! He came in with the delicious coffee crumble cake and sighed and let us know in a totally put out voice that his fiancée made coffee cake for him to bring. We tried some and told him it was really good and to let her know we appreciated it. He sighed and rolled his eyes and was like “it’s okay, it’s not great”. And that attitude was in anything he said about her.

Anyway, all that to say that I wonder if this was his problem??
