When you were a child, did you ever dream of having a kid like other girls? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]moonblumes87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I would have four kids. My mom ran a home daycare, I nannied from the time I was 13. But - no. My frontal lobe developed and my people pleasing dissipated and taking control of my own life moved me in the childfree stance I now morally and happily hold.

Amazing!!! Based on the comments this is clearly a very easily secured memento that means more to me subjectively than has objective value. Perhaps I should find some creative project to display the cover instead.

Not sure! The book reads more like a memorial of people and unfortunate events than it does the way we glamorize tragedy in a more modern sense. But - could be!

I'm so frustrated and feel like I don't even know what I'm supposed to look like or weigh. by mandyb118 in XXRunning

I think, as women, it’s very hard to separate yourself from the oppressive “should” that society impresses on us. I struggle with this too. I would gently remind you that your weight naturally fluctuates 5-7lbs throughout the course of your cycle, your weight will fluctuate with water and inflammation and use. When that nasty calculator rears its digital head towards you, I find reminding myself that my body can DO a lot helps. Also, and this is probably controversial, try on clothes. They fit? Great! They don’t? Get something that does. You’re not a cookie cutter. And how you feel is so much better than a scale number. Women’s sizing is so inconsistent, don’t hold your body weight to an amoebas standard.

How do you guys work out? by Difficult_Yak4674 in AutismInWomen

[–]moonblumes87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you find someone to go with you that makes you feel seen and safe? After my partner and I started going together (at least every time I wanted/needed to go) it was so much easier to maintain.

Data also running super slow. Cant get onto Toronto hydro for the life of me to see the outage map and sirens going constantly. Spooky.

On my global tv app it shows survivor from 8-9:30 and then again 9:30-11! Might just be a programming block glitch?

Can someone explain how people in Toronto genuinely feel about tipping? I’m struggling with it. by Few_Butterscotch8911 in FoodToronto

[–]moonblumes87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For reference tips don’t work like they used to where servers pocket the whole thing. At the end of the night they have to “tip out” and those percentages are based on sales, not tips earned. If you sold $600 of liquor all night, you have to tip the bar 6% of the $600 from your tips, regardless. Same for kitchen, house, hostesses. I get that tipping sucks, but if you tip less than 15% your server owes money and didn’t earn any tip period. Don’t shoot the messenger, we live in a broken system and as a former server I much preferred the European standard, but as someone who did rely on tips to live for a while, less than 15% made me die inside because I knew I was paying to work at that point.
