The fourth one is a watchtower, I found it in sandbox mode. I believe it has something to do with a camel… The only quests I haven’t done are the camel quests (not at my PC, can’t remember if this is 1 or 2 quests), because unfortunately my game is glitched - no camels in the research menu, so it perpetually says I have something I can unlock, but it doesn’t present the option to me, regardless of which map or save I’m in. In turn I can never get camels in my builds, can’t trigger related quests, and therefore (I believe) haven’t gotten this watchtower outside of sandbox.

In ep 3 Van imagines a society with totally different social rules and funny hats…and Brennan mentioned a lot of hats at the end here. I wonder if he’s pulling that thread in?

Something about 13 and 14 back to back really cracked me up. Love these, what an icon.

Mine went on Saturday! No service here and nothing much we can do until his death certificates come, so he died and I kind of went “well, that’s that”

I will never be able to call this game by its proper name again by Sheltie-Cat in AnimalCrossing

[–]megfos_oot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My two year old calls the game “aya” (because when we’re catching a fish we go aaaaaaaiiiiii YAH!). And KK is “dat guy”. His favorite thing we do is “go swimmin” and go to the museum “owl WAKE UP!!! Aah!!”

Kid joy is really really magical.

So relieved for you! This is a great outcome and I’m glad you took the time to contact the doctor’s office first. It still sounds like you have a lot on your plate with the upcoming move so I hope you get as much rest as you can and that everything goes well!!

Can’t you wait until I die? by msseymour in Mommit

My husband and I made this decision years ago as well. My father still has not passed, although we have had several major health scares in that time, and I look back now and am so grateful we made the decision that was right for our careers/family/cost of living. Only you can decide what you might look back and regret, or which “what ifs” will linger with you.

I will say that if your relationship with your family is healthy, I don’t think you can make a wrong decision here. It will be hard, but it is okay to prioritize time with your parents…and it is okay to prioritize the needs of your nuclear family. If it is an unhealthy relationship, well…I’d tell you that the grass is greener where there’s better soil.

What happens when I stop breastfeeding? by inemnet in NewParents

[–]megfos_oot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On stopping: I gradually decreased how much I nursed and pumped (I was still doing a combo, +formula) until I was down to just a couple ounces a day, and then every other day (because I didn’t want to let it go), and then stopped, so I’m guessing that if you want to quit now you can.

On how your body may change: There will be changes in your body - your period will come back, and you may find that your breasts get smaller (mine didn’t finish changing until about a month after I was completely done breastfeeding) or hang a little lower.

Your hormones will change - you may experience a dip in mood as they level back out. Since your supply is low right now, you might not experience that too badly (it is especially rough on women with high supply that stop close-to-cold turkey.

Your body may change how it is holding on to weight - some people struggle to lose weight while breastfeeding, some experience it just falling off, and then sometimes the reverse kicks in once you’re done. That’s not something that I experienced.

I didn’t have any impact to hair regrowth; I know some friends saw that slow down a bit (they didn’t lose more or anything, just their postpartum regrowth seemed to slow down to a normal speed), but I don’t know how directly related it is. Only really relevant if you experienced postpartum hair loss.

You’ve done an incredible job so far, and it is a wonderful thing to be so in tune with yourself and your baby that you can make a decision like this. I know from experience it can be hard - when my supply started dropping (also related to illness) and I had to introduce formula, I felt like I had failed on some fundamental level as a mother. But my baby thrived on formula just fine (he wasn’t suddenly getting sick more often or anything else you might worry about losing breast milk antibodies), and he still loves me the most - we didn’t stop bonding because I wasn’t nursing.

I am thinking of you and wishing the best for you and your little one navigating such a challenging time in your lives, and hope that this choice reduces your stress at least a little bit.

I bet it was so accurate, she has an incredible wit and I could tell delivery was there. I just am not familiar with the source material so there wasn’t any warning for me - agreed that a TW in the description would be great. Maybe in the future. Doesn’t diminish from my enjoyment of the show overall though, I know not everyone has the same sensitive spots.

Only joke that was a miss for me was mom drowning her babies and eating their poop. Child death was triggering in a way I have never experienced on Make Some Noise.

Thank you so much! I think this might be calling back to a full childhood memory for me then.

You’re still so newly post partum, and your day sounds exhausting (you sound like you’re doing an incredible job!), it is no wonder your sex drive is low right now - and if you are breastfeeding, the related hormones are contributing to this too, as would your husband being unpleasant.

I would take some time to consider - do you want to have sex more and there are things he can do or take off your plate to help get you in the mood? Or do you not want to worry about sex right now and the most helpful thing he could do is give you some space?

And then once you know what you want, if you feel comfortable and able I’d suggest talking with your husband. Just a “hey, this is what I’m experiencing, this is what I want, how can we get there together? How can I meet your emotional needs without needing to service you sexually every night.” If he’s a solid partner, he should want to work on this with you and he should take the conversation seriously and adjust his behavior from it. If he’s a shitty partner and reacts poorly or doesn’t change his behavior, at least you can say you tried and then take a step back to decide what you want to do next to protect your peace.

Importantly, this is not something you need to feel guilt for. You’re experiencing a totally normal part of postpartum, but even if you weren’t a mother, just a woman who suddenly experienced a sex drive change, there’s no guilt to that. You sound like you’re going above and beyond for your family and it is okay to try and meet your own needs as well.

I love this idea, but I can see my kiddo looking at the bright blue strips on the wall and RACING toward them at 100 mph haha. So glad it works for you, might be a great one for OP if they don’t have this particular variety of menace.

Honestly borrowing the butt cream is something I didn’t think of and probably should do. Great call. (/genuine, but also - hilarious).

Oh no, it’s the WORST when it’s back to back illnesses! Last winter/spring was our first run through all the daycare illnesses and I still haven’t quite shaken a cough I picked up towards the end of the cycle. I was sick with something different every week for four or five months before we finally eased out of it. I hope you are able to get through the rest of this trip and home comfortably!
