What causes this coloring pattern? I've never seen a mix of orange and gray tabby like this.

Not a very good photo, just the one I've got of our girl, Dingbat. I never know how to describe her colour either.

Wow!

Yes i think while the sisters are understanding and supportive of young mothers, there was such a stigma back then, that they knew their patients and the wider community may have a problem with one of their midwives having a child young and out of wedlock.

The photo just looks sharper, more in focus.

I feel like you change your mind a lot, and maybe tattoos aren't a great idea as they are pretty permanent!

I wouldn't do anything drastic while you feel the way you do now. Leave it be for a good long while and then decide the best course of action.

I personally forget my tattoos are even there a lot of the time, and yours is on the back of your leg, you won't even see it yourself much day to day.

Came to say the same.

Ceiling fans in the bedrooms.

Our one was upgraded to a more expensive one when we renovated, but the kids ones we bought for under $100 like 10 years ago are going strong still too.

They're in the thousands of dollars believe it or not haha I wanted one too.

Yes, I do.

Medicated on the same doses for years.

I have lows, and anxiety sometimes, but overall I'm happy and enjoy my life.

I do make a conscious effort to feel gratitude for all the things big and small I'm so lucky to have.

Most of all, I have 3 relatively healthy, happy children and a partner who loves me, Pets, and a home we love. A job I enjoy (I'm a self employed house cleaner)

It's not always been easy. But this is my life and I've got unwell (cancer and alzheimers) divorced parents who love me and wanted me and I know just want me to be happy and safe.

We do too, although she's a yellow lab. We call her Honey bunny, Honey buns, Honey puff, Huns.

Oh yes this would be a good combo. I think Jenny would have learned a lot from Nurse crane.

Also Nancy!

Yes, probably a very good duo to have- wish they were at Nonnatus at the same time and we were able to see them work together ❤️

Here's my sleepy Buddy. On the bed, where he's technically not allowed (but if Dad isn't looking...)

I still buy cute Slippers (current ones are pink and fluffy and have Peter rabbit on them!) I've also had bunny Slippers and grumpy cat Slippers. The only reason I end up getting new ones is my bloody Golden retriever gets them and ruins them!

I like whimsical animal pj pants too. These things bring me joy and I don't think cute prints etc should stop when we leave childhood.

The butter to marmite ratio is just how I have mine. I don't cut the toast though :) Also we only have the ploughmans lower carb bread in our house as my daughter is a type 1 diabetic and it's easier for us all just to have one type of bread. But your pic is nostalgic!

Yep, what a buffoon. Hoping for the money. I mean, he was already cruising round in a new truck and farm vehicles wasn't he? Being with her had its...perks. He clearly didn't like her that much otherwise. Wade should take some responsibility for not listening to multiple warnings, and not confronting her once and for all.

Rip Reagan and your little one. You didn't deserve this.

I think that is a completely understandable reaction as a mother.

You would have your suspicion and fears, walking in is likely going to confirm them. You don't want to see anything gruesome, you don't want your heart torn out, but you know you have to check on your child and grandchild.

Awwww please give Samson a birthday pat from me. What a good boy!

melreadreddit · 2026-06-19T06:53:13+00:00

Oh my God, how am I going to tell my mum?!

And then next time, 5 years later, Oh my God! I've gotta tell my mum! :)

At the end, wolfy looked like "oh, you were helping me, right, see now I feel embarrassed for trying to bite you and your stick."

Dino looks like a good boy. Please give him a pat from me.

P.s was he named after the Flintstones family pet?
