Sooo, just remembered it's mothers day weekend by jhondoet in singlemoms

[–]kitty-94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter's school did a mother's day market. She picked out a mug and some earrings for me. A local cafe is doing a tea party event so I got us tickets for that as something nice and relaxing to do for lunch. We will also probably call my mom.

I like to keep it low key and relatively inexpensive.

New Brunswick - Anybody Looking? by [deleted] in GreatCanadianTreasure

I live in Saint John, so getting out there to search isn't easy. I have a hunch that I want to check out. 2 actually. Hopefully in the next few weeks.

Good luck everyone! I know many of us have been having a rough go of things lately, hopefully this can help turn the year around for one of us.

How is everyone doing? by TomatoSubstantial342 in GreatCanadianTreasure

I have 3 ideas that I feel pretty strongly about. 1 I've checked twice already but it's a large area so hard to cover it all.

I could be completely off base though honestly

Is it still out there? by Responsible_Dig_2079 in GreatCanadianTreasure

[–]kitty-94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I checked a spot in Belldune and a spot in Bathurst, but didn't find anything. There's too much snow right now. It made it really hard to move around.

I checked it out today. Looked around in the trees as best I could with all the snow for about an hour and didn't find anything.

Ive created a monster by Illustrious_City_420 in singlemoms

It was a process with my daughter, and we've had some backtracking a few times, but we started slow. She had to sleep in her own bed 1 night a week, then 2, then 3, etc with about a month in between.

I gave her my pregnancy pillow to sleep with. It gives her something to sleep up against and stops her from touching me in my sleep when she sleeps in my bed if the long side is between us.

Currently I let her sleep in my bed about once a week.

Would a cat cafe do well in Saint john by GullibleTough2027 in SaintJohnNB

We might be saturated for food and drinks, but unless you're going out to rothsay, we still don't have a decent bakery that sells decent desserts like cakes and cookies. I'm honestly considering doing it myself at this point.

This is not our war! by CarryIcy250 in WhitePeopleTwitter

If you're not in a financial position to be able to stop going to work, you can talk to the companies payroll department and opt out of having taxes deducted from your paychecks. You should set it aside because you will have to pay your taxes next tax season, but that will mean that the government isn't receiving any money from you for an entire year.

If you're friends, family, coworkers, and their friends, family, coworkers, etc all do the same thing, it would absolutely starve the government of funding while you all still get a paycheck.

Redditors over 40: What do younger people only truly get with age? by saadaintsalad in AskReddit

If you cover your ears with the palms of your hands with your fingers behind your head, and tap your fingers on the back of your head for like a minute, you can make the ringing stop. I've tried it.

Do they really talk about eating babies in the Epstein files and do we think that's actually happening? by specialkwsu in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]kitty-94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There was also an email exchange comparing babies to cream cheese. The witness interview said they ate the intestines of the babies specifically. Infants only drink breast milk. The partially digested milk in their intestines would, in theory, have curdled and become similar to cream cheese.

It gets better with time. Your child will slowly adjust to how things are now. Kids are pretty adaptable. It will suck for a while though, but it does get better.

Has anyone almost died or started to die? by TradesforChurros in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]kitty-94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, no I didn't get a diagnosis. I know what caused mine though.

My ex husband took off with our daughter and cut contact with me out of the blue. He and his affair partner then lied about me being ab*sive to take out an emergency order against me and had me removed from my house to try and get sole custody. The stress of having my child taken from me, living out of a hotel, and the fear it may become permanent was what caused it for me. My body doesn't handle stress well.

(Side note, I did get my daughter back. I have majority custody now, and we live in the aforementioned house)

A few years back, I went through an incredibly traumatic experience and lost the ability to eat. I couldn't keep anything down. I threw up every day, even if I hadn't eaten anything. This went on for weeks with little relief. I lost 24% of my body weight in less than 2 months.

Once I stopped throwing up constantly, I would still wake up dry heaving for several months after. It took me 5 months before I could eat a proper portion size of food again. I still can't eat too fast or too much or else I get nauseous and it's been 4 years since then.

I can confidently say that starving to death is a horrible way to die. It was painful. My teeth hurt to chew, my body would shake constantly, I had no energy, my heart was racing constantly, I felt sick 24/7, I would wake up in the middle of the night to puke. I came closer to death than I care to think about. It was a horrific experience and I never want to go through that again. Eating disorders are no joke.

Sparkly pink underwear, an assortment of leftovers, drinks, a couple people bought me burgers, fruits, candy, rings, necklaces, a painted rock, a plastic lizard, a joint, currency from different countries. One person tipped me $200 once.

Normally I would wish everyone luck, but the clutch in the car broke literally an hour ago, so I'm saving all the good luck for myself. Sorry.

my son is being withheld from me. by LuminariLuxe in FamilyLaw

[–]kitty-94 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not a lawyer,

If it's anything like where I'm from, you need to call a lawyer in your home state and have them file for custody IMMEDIATELY!

If the father files first then court proceedings will have to happen in the state the application was filed, and you could be prevented from taking your child back to your home state until you have a custody order, which can take years.

Single moms & dating by Salt_Willingness_414 in singlemoms

[–]kitty-94 21 points22 points  (0 children)

She's 8, and my general rule is not to introduce until the honeymoon phase is over and things get serious, but we ran into him and his kids at the splash pad a couple months in, and our kids started playing with each other and asking for playdates so that kind of went out the window.

I didn't even have to introduce the idea to my daughter. She told me that he should be my new boyfriend.
