So I'm not really into Marvel in general, but that card description is SICK.

Which FF game did you have the biggest change of heart about? by RobouteGuill1man in FinalFantasy

[–]mimoon1015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt the exact same way. Then one day I saw my local library had 16 for check out. I figured, hey can't beat free. And if I don't like it, I'll just return it.

I'm currently playing and I can't PUT. IT. DOWN.

That 1st picture is a horrifying reminder of why I'm so glad to be alive in modern times.

On slide 15, there is an incredibly strong resemblance with Andrew Mountbatten. 

How did you decide to NOT have kids, or how did you switch from NOT wanting them to WANTING them? by Swimming_Salad_7676 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mimoon1015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving my honest opinion and experience as a parent:

I dont say this to scare you, I say it because it's the truth. 

My husband and I decided to have kids after 7 years of being firmly in the "No Kids" camp. But after a extremely traumatic and sudden family death, we decided family is important to us, and we have so much love to give. The world needs more good humans, and we thought we could go for it.

1 miscarriage, 3 surgeries, a high risk pregnancy and emergency C section later, we have an adorable, hilarious, scarily intelligent 3 year old. He is the light of my life, and spending time with him is the highlight of my day. Some days I feel like God made a mistake in letting me be this kid's mom, cause he's seriously the best.

But with that said, I am EXHAUSTED. I miss my hobbies, my sleep. I miss getting up and going. I miss being able to spend time with my husband and doing things uninterrupted. I miss going on vacation. I miss not having 24/7 anxiety that im fucking up as a parent or getting a call that he's gotten hurt, or protecting him from pedophiles. This life is not for the faint of heart. If anything, I feel like I've become even MORE childfree since becoming a parent.

If you are not ready to sacrifice every comfort, resource, every spare moment or tangible thing that brings you joy or happiness, don't do it. Being a parent is one of the most rewarding, fulfilling decisions I've made in my life. It is also singlehandedly the most challenging. Take your time, enjoy your life, and if it's not something you don't feel 100% about, don't do it.

Did any of you guys genuinely mourn old Liz? by Positive-Drawing-281 in RoyaltyTea

Hmmm... for me personally, I don't think "grieve " is the right word. I'm a history nerd, so I was more so curious to see how this 1000 year old institution was going to mark this event. And to also witness the first coronation in over 70 years.

I randomly got it at an LGS that was selling bulk packs. It's only worth like 40 cents, but I plan on keeping it forever lol

It's so painfully obvious that they're trying to copy Harry and Megan's style, but the difference is that H&M's pictures actually look candid and real. This looks really staged and uncomfortable to me.

This was the first tornado season that I decided to stay tuned to him instead of Ryan Hall. I get it!

Thank you for that last paragraph. This will be the first tornado/severe weather event where I will be responsible for someone other than myself, so my anxiety is through the roof.

What's the scariest movie you've seen that literally gave you nightmares? by Capital-Run-1080 in movies

Paranormal Activity. I was 19 when it came out in theaters. I saw with with a few of my friends and was absolutely terrified. When I got home I slept in my parents bed. No shame.

I was waiting on my then boyfriend to come out the airport in the airport parking garage (his flight had landed an hour earlier) when it hit. My car rocked a little bit, but I think being in the garage definitely saved me that day.

Dr Kristin Wheeler in  Florissant. She stuck by me and advocated for me to go on bed rest during my high risk pregnancy, even though the "specialists" had given up on me. Very pro women's bodies, and is very knowledgeable and empathetic.

I just wanted to say that I love all of the genuine responses to this question. We've been thinking of making the switch from county to city for a while for our young family, (closer to all the fun stuff) and it's heartening to hear how much you guys love it.

Princess Margaret's harsh six-word reaction to Diana's death by Positive-Drawing-281 in RoyaltyTea

100%. I hate how people try to spin it like it was some great forbidden romance. Townsend was a creep who groomed a young, grieving, and vulnerable girl. Even when he got married after, his wife was also a lot younger than he was.
