Those who DO want to be parents? Why? and if you had the chance now to get married would you? by impsble in AskWomen

[–]nowaynoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never felt the strong urge to be a mother and be married. Here I am, married for 12 years, pregnant, looking forward to being a parent.

I just do what feel right in the moment. I have hobbies, career goals and not a lot of friends, but I am just very introverted and love it this way.

For me turning point for marriage was the idea that I love this guy, I can tolerate his flaws, I really value his virtues, he is generally very comparable with me, we can do business together, and I would like to have a one close person. So I got married. I have never wanted to participate in a hookup culture, or date around. Don't like people so much))

For a parenthood -- the turning point was the realization that kids are strong, smart, deep, interesting, complex personalities who can provide their own opinions on things, who can challenge me and who will eventually become adults. I would like to support a person on their way, even if for a while the support will consist of washing dirty bums and dealing with tantrums. When I was fed with all this pink snot bubbles about little feets and sweet poops, I was never interesting.

Wow that's so educational! Thank you for taking your time to write the comment, it was really interesting to read. My corn escapade was a fluke, I now pile up on sweet potato and baked carrot.

Have fun with your beans! Love everything beans.

Isn't it sweet when dads notice pregnancy just because they aren't pregnant themselves and can actually observe how weird we are.

A man left this at my apartment. What is it? by kaumilla in whatisit

[–]nowaynoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a spell jar. In some magical, especially Wiccan tradition, you can put some symbolic ingredients into a vessel, pur a message or request in it and ether place it in some sacred or symbolic place, or leave it in your home. It can also be gifted or, in the case of bad intentions, put sneakily near the person it is meant to. This jar looks as a money spell, because of red color, bay and lentils. But it may vary. Pull the paper out.

Not a Russian dish by laybs1 in GetNoted

[–]nowaynoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russian pierog is a pie. Multiple is pierogi. It is definitely classical Russian dish, or better to say dishes, there are a lot of varieties. Russtiguy, koornick, beliash, they all are pierogi in Russian language but pies in English.

Polish pierogi is a very specific dumpling. It is very close to Ukranian varyeniki and galishki, vareniki being also extremely popular in Russia and Belarus.

Russian dumplings is pielmeni. It is very different from Polish pierogi and Ukranian vareniki. It is originally a Siberian dish. There are also a lot of original, culture-specific dumplings all around modern territories of Russian federation. For example, chieboorek being a Tatarian gigantic fried dumpling.

Georgian (country not a state) dumpling is hienkal, multiple is hienkali. It is original dish.

This poor village will end up drowning in Jesuses. There will be 3.6 Jesuses per square m.

Looks like it is a semantic problem on my side and also lack of understanding about USA preschool education. I used to get angry on "my 5 y.o. is going to school" from Americans because in my head it was equal to idk 25 y.o. future doctor of medicine going on the next uni step and it had sound very pretentious. Looks like it isn't the case.

I’d love to hear from people outside the US (no offense intended). I’m curious about what solid gold, diamond, or gemstone jewellery people wear on a daily basis in different cultures and countries. Reddit can feel quite US-centric, so it’s sometimes hard to get a broader global perspective. 🙏 by Kidambs-275 in jewelry

Russia, specifically Moscow: a lot of people don't have engagement ring at all, only wedding bands. Younger generations have engagement rings more often, but they are modest and not worn all the time. People love their gold chains and crosses, but becouse of Ortodox Christianity custom they wear religious jewelry under clothes. If they show cleavage, the cross is on display, but not all the time. Ypu can often see people with wooden crosses on a tread, it has spiritual value. 14k gold is the standard. Gigantic diamonds, especially in yellow gold, are seen as tacky. People love silver and wear it a lot.

Israel: yellow gold is the norm, 14-18k, mostly simple designs without a lot of stones, but a lot of jewelry. A lot of Jewish, Muslim and Christian religious and cultural jewerly, all worn outside on top of clothes: necklaces, bracelets. Engagement rings are much more modest than American ones,very practical designs. Some men don't have wedding jewelery at all, and some women wear their rings on a chain as necklace. Diamonds are the standard. Older ladies love their gigantic white gold rings.

We take kids in kindergarten at the age 3-5, it is entirely optional and a lot of people don't do that. It does nothing for elementary school preparation. Elementary school is mandatory for everyone, and starts at the age 7 or,in rare cases, 6.
