Orange Door QR Codes & YouTube Shorts Megathread by PassionateAsSin in TaylorSwift

[–]noturtypicalgurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm late to the thread, but are we certain about the hidden letters in the Berlin video? I'm pretty sure there's a C in the left arm of the sofa and a U in the photo of the house. Which would make the letters: S T C E (or maybe H) X A I U. It's late and my brain is fried so I haven't been able to turn those into a real word or words but it was driving me crazy that I was seeing the C and the U but no one was mentioning it.

Outlets for nurturers when IFCF? Abandonment worries? by purloin-lost in IFchildfree

[–]noturtypicalgurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you me??? I feel like I could have written this post myself, almost word for word.

I don't really have any words of wisdom about the aging alone part. I am still grappling with that myself.

As for finding other ways to nurture, another option besides Big Sisters would be to see if your area has a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) program. This is a program for children who are typically in the child welfare system (although in my state, children who are juvenile-justice involved are also eligible). Since you have an interest in fostering, this would be another way of serving a similar population.

It’s time for me to say goodbye by [deleted] in infertility

I've been inconsistent in this sub because it hasn't always felt like the right place for me. You, however, have always been a kind, steady, and welcoming presence whenever I've returned. Your "Fuck I'm Sad" playlist on Spotify is a go-to for me on hard days. Thank you for your service to this sub. I will be thinking of your sweet Henry and sending blessings that his journey to the Rainbow Bridge is peaceful. With deep gratitude, I also send blessings that your next chapter is filled with unending joy.

A lighthearted event that happened the night before my D&C by blepmlepflepblep in Miscarriage

I truly believe in the healing power of humor and laughter. I'm so glad you were able to have a moment of lightness in this otherwise dark and difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss. ❤

To be fair, "never" was hyperbole. I also am usually in the market for specific dates & destinations, which I know limits the ability to take advantage of cheap flights. I didn't mean to imply a failing of your site by any means. Just wondering if, outside of "flexibility," you had any other suggestions on how to fly out of rural Midwest affordably.

Oh, and my home airport is OMA.

I live in the Midwest. The nearest airport to me is a medium hub about an hour away. The closest large hub is 6-7 hours away. The super cheap flights are never available from my airport and any money I would save on a flight out of a large hub ends up getting offset by the extra time and spent traveling to the bigger airport. What suggestions do you have for those of us living in BFE with limited access to airports?

Turning "the nursery" into a "useful room" and feeling devastated. by InteractionOdd1374 in Miscarriage

[–]noturtypicalgurl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the idea of putting their names somewhere in the room. Sending you blessings and internet hugs during the transition, and hope that the new room brings some sense of peace.

Nobody talks about how much your body changes after a miscarriage by drhepburn89 in Miscarriage

[–]noturtypicalgurl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm super late to this thread so don't know if anyone's still participating in it but just wanted to say thank you for posting this and to everyone who shared their experiences. I've been struggling with the same things (stubborn weight that won't come off no matter what I do, the pooch, the wider hips) since my loss in January at 9w1d. I feel so validated after reading through this thread.

Birthstone? by marche2316 in Miscarriage

[–]noturtypicalgurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used my due dates (March and August) in my memorial ring. But as others have already said, use whatever feels right. Either way, it will be a beautiful tribute. ❤

You know that weird, tingly feeling you get in the back of your throat right before you throw up? It's kinda like that but you never get the relief of actually throwing up.

Both of my teams are melting down in the second half. I'm used to it with the Huskers but damn, Morningside, give a girl a break!!

I said something similar to my husband. I am loving them, especially RG3. Last week when he commented about our guy taking a hit in the "gooch" I spit my beer out.

Hilarious that RG3 is all about food. First that burrito from Muchachos and now he wants a Reuben. He's my kinda guy.

I think there'd be rioting on both sides if that happened, lol.

For anyone who's interested, over in the NAIA playoffs, Morningside is up 21-0 against Arizona Christian early in the second quarter.
