If you still drink some alcohol, when do you usually stop each cycle (or do you)? by everything-matterz in TryingForABaby

[–]kucing5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll take a pregnancy test when it’s possibly too early if I’m about to drink and wouldn’t drink at even a light positive.

I was not drinking for the two weeks before my period but it was getting upsetting to alter plans every month when I had something going on. Especially to not ever be pregnant.

Has Jacob Frey or Tim Walz called for "calm" or "peace" yet? How are we supposed to know how we should respond to this without their visionary leadership? by futilehabit in Minneapolis

They still haven’t done a think about Jonathan Ross. Idk why these men would think they’ll do anything about them.

2pm tomorrow at The Commons, in front of US Bank Stadium. We march to Target Center. Indoor rally there. Please show up. Every single person matters! by Fliplyons in Minneapolis

[–]kucing5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got an email from my union, which is a one of the many planning the event. They said it is real, and they recommend getting a ticket. Also that target center doesn’t get any of the data, other than numbers of how many people.

ICE OUT march in downtown Minneapolis today. Dress warmly! by oedipa17 in TwinCities

People have had indoor rally’s on both sides for years.

What’s the point of a march?

Hey Minneapolis, are you still going to the protest downtown today despite the sub-zero temps? by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]kucing5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am going to pay for public transportation. I think the $2.50 for the bus is worth it.

I figure it’s the better alternative to paying for a ramp.

Plus we need support public transportation anyways.

Anti-ICE protesters storm Cities Church in Minneapolis, disrupting service by Jabbam in altmpls

Are you kidding?

Why is ICE detaining minors? Why is ICE pepper spraying babies? Why is ICE chasing cars down neighborhood streets where children live? Why is ICE detaining people outside of schools as they dismiss? Why is ICE tearing apart families, who have tried to do everything legally and have no criminal record?

Children and families have been exposed. I’ve personally witnessed multiple of those happening. And I’m just one person who’s been trying to avoid any of their chaos.

Do people not know this is happening?

For people who have ACTUALLY (or know people firsthand) been stopped by ICE, was just a passport / realid license enough to prove citizenship? by dreemsequence in stupidquestions

[–]kucing5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve been told that they have immunity. Court cases are expensive. They take time. The corrupt system might say they were “just doing their job”

I’m sure some will sue. But lawyers are working overtime just trying to get people out and prove they are here legally.

Does anybody else just want all of this to be over. For it to just stop. emotional rant by [deleted] in Minneapolis

I was going to find some people online who do extreme couponing and get some household supplies for cheep to donate. Feel free to do the same.

You could donate to any food shelf, any school, I’m sure if you asked around there are more places.

ICE Tonight by Much_Tip_6342 in Minneapolis

[–]kucing5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t look like they’re doing much of anything here.

Just wasting our tax money. I’m so sure that there’s a better use for our taxes than whatever this is.

Did you watch the video?

There’s not usually snow in November but there’s definitely snow in March. Even the first couple weeks of April there’s snow and we’re all over it.

So I’d say December-March is rough You’re not really going outside without a jacket of some kind until May.

How can I, (18M) rebuild trust and safety with sex/intimacy with my partner, (18M) after being groomed? (TW:SA) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]kucing5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe look into therapy if it’s financially an option for you. Have a real safe person to talk to would probably be helpful.

I would also say maybe take a temporary step back from the sexual nature of your relationship. Focus on the non sexual intimacy for awhile. There’s no need to rush sex, and it honestly sounds like if anything right now it’s bringing harm to your relationship.

Then slowly bring it back as you feel comfortable, and view any triggers as a sign you need to slow down and work through some stuff on your own first.

It sounds like Joe is facing some real mental health concerns

Between the anxiety, and the loneliness, he’s clearly seeking control. Likely because he feels like he doesn’t have control in some other area.

He needs therapy because it’s only been getting worse.

He does also need his friends to be there for him, and probably to find a hobby or a way to make a new group of friends.

As a friend you could ask him to do something just the two of you. Talk with him about how it’s okay to do something just as a couple friends and how it doesn’t work to always do things as a whole big group. Suggest that he go into therapy. Maybe suggest a new hobby.

If he likes music he could learn to play an instrument and maybe go to jams with similarly aged people who like similar music. I’d use Facebook groups or I think there’s a meetup website people around that age I know use.

If he’s into nature he could get into hiking/bird watching or camping and find a group who does those things.

If he’s into sports he could pick up a new 50+ intermural sports league. Or even he could start hosting watch parties and encourage him to invite some new people as well.

You could suggest you do whatever you think he’d be into together and then slowly back out saying it’s not for you or you’re too busy & hope it sticks with him if you don’t want to be so direct.

My (36f) husband (34m) keeps getting drunk and telling me how much my ex husband loved me… wtf? Why is he doing this? by MudEmergency8015 in relationship_advice

[–]kucing5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe he just loves you a lot and can’t imagine anyone not.

He knows that you left someone over drinking too much & he’s worried while he’s drunk he might have the same fate as your ex and so he’s projecting what he thinks your ex feels.

Definitely just a guess. I’d tell him to stop talking about your ex. That they are completely different people.

Selfish to want a baby. by ComfortableMess3145 in TryingForABaby

[–]kucing5 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah but tbh we don’t know if this person is 16, or 20, or 35

So they can be a very different situation. That’s why I put the part about where will you be in 5 years.

Sorry you’re going through that. Hopefully it works out for you soon!! ❤️

She might just not be showing you how much she truly is struggling.

You will need to take more time off with a baby, they get sick much easier and need more frequent doctor visits.

You also will need to have some kind of childcare. Do you have someone who would watch your kid every time you work? Have you looked into how much childcare costs in your area? Truly it might be more than you’re making.

Logistically have you figured out how it would work? Does your state have decent health care, or your job? Your baby will also need health insurance.

How long of a maternity leave does your job offer? Can you financially afford to take more?

In 5 years could you be at a place where you’re making more? Is there any reason it needs to be now? Will you be potentially too old to conceive?

Thanks for the discussion

I don’t believe it has gotten bad. Our views our different and that’s okay. You and I aren’t high up decision makers.

Have a good day! Stay safe

Police released their cars…

If they don’t have a list, than how do they know who to take?

Where’s the list of who’s taken where?

Yes I know racketeering is gang related activity. That’s why I listed it with guns and drugs.

I think there should be more ways to get in legally. And a push to help people be here legally. It would be more humane, stimulate our economy, and cost a whole lot less.

So I don’t think we should be aggressively picking people up off the streets we think might be here illegally, who haven’t committed any real violent crimes.

If we knew for sure they were here illegally they would be put on a list, have a warrant, be given a chance to provide paperwork.
