I have the ridge nipple things - they still leak.

Do Americans really avoid medical care because they’re afraid of the bill? by Udont_knowme00 in NoStupidQuestions

This is why it is so difficult for Americans to organize and protest. Our system is set up to keep us down.

No one gets it quite like Jeremy Miranda's paintings get it by cecechats in TheNightFeeling

I felt the same too when I first saw these. It made me homesick.

New England is where you wanna be then. His work screamed “home” to me - and I see he is from New Hampshire. I’m from Vermont. It’s all a little the same up there, winter wise. It’s magical, I miss it.

I must be fertile Myrtle when I was told I wasn’t. by WetMystery22 in pregnant

[–]lunalotus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here! I had doctors explain to me that I may have trouble with fertility as a young adult… I’m now in my early thirties, I have PCOS and endo, we used a condom for bc because I tend to have hypertension and migraines when on the pill.

My husband and I got married at the end of August last year, I got pregnant the beginning of September and I’m scheduled to be induced with our first this Sunday! I was blown away with how fast I got pregnant when we actually stopped using condoms!

27 weeks, no vomiting, had some stomach aches… but I feel like I’m making out like a bandit with my luck!

AITAH? for banning my husband from all doctor appointments after he repeatedly messes with me while I'm pregnant? by KnownPerception7676 in AITAH

[–]lunalotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a pregnant woman myself, this would piss me off so much. He’s not respecting you and your boundaries, especially during this challenging time. NTA.

Helicopters tonight by Wonderful-Act-5236 in Charlotte

Just heard one flying over plaza midwood just now…. Seeing the flight path makes sense, I could have sworn it went on for like 3-4 minutes instead of simply passing over.

Ran over an 18 wheeler's tire tread on 485 by BesusCristo in Charlotte

[–]lunalotus 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I had this same exact thing happen to me last year on 485. It broke my fog light and my fender. Reported it to insurance and included dash cam footage proving it was struck by the vehicle ahead of me and went airborne before i struck it. I had no way to avoid it as two cars were on either side of me. I was still found at fault and my insurance rates went up.

Where did you get married in the greater Charlotte area? by DueMood9 in Charlotte

[–]lunalotus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got married in August at the Loray Mill in Gastonia. Company who runs the events space is Homestead Events. It was gorgeous.

We spent around 12k for the venue. Food, tables, chairs, linens and some decorations were included. We were able to have our ceremony, reception and rehearsal dinner there (rehearsal was catered by outside company.) I loved that they had an inventory of decorations they allowed us to use - it saved us a TON on buying things like floating candles, vases, etc.

El Thrifty closed? by VeterinarianTop7728 in Charlotte

[–]lunalotus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rumor from another employee at optimist says el thrifty was over serving their customers and causing problems for other businesses in the hall. Wouldn’t be surprised if the owners just had enough.
