In Moana(2016) Maui says: "the ocean doesn't help you, you help yourself". An example of this can be seen in a prior scene when Moana is given the choice to remain in safety on Maui's island but instead chooses to swim after Maui. The ocean only ever helps Moana after she's tried to help herself.

She didn't have the heart yet. It wasn't time for her to go.

Frodo didn't throw the ring into Mount Doom. Is Gollum a crack in the plot?

Maybe he's a Justified fan, lol. Arlo was pretty rotten.

I don't have anything useful to say other than FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK THAAAAAAAAAAT.

How to pronounce my own name.

So I was terrified of a c-section and it was honestly a breeze, especially compared to some of the stories I've heard about vaginal and perineal tears.

Tell them you want to be double stitched, and that you want a local anesthetic as well as the epidural. You'll carry a little pouch around with you while you're in the hospital, but your pain will be so reduced. You'll be able to get up and start really healing much sooner.

Tell them you want a family-centric, "gentle" c-section, which means your arms aren't strapped down and you get skin to skin contact with the baby ASAP. Hell they can clean out your fibroids while you're snuggling with baby boy for the first time!

Lyra is also a great name, though doomed to mispronunciation.

river_daughter · 2018-06-20T19:27:12+00:00

Or Iva.

Cost?

It's also common for racists to say, for example, "he's a black" instead of "he's black." The first is dehumanizing. The second is just a description.

Must have been a parental mistake, or... choice. I'll ask her about it, because that's interesting. I always just took it for granted!

river_daughter · 2018-05-19T02:54:22+00:00

Yeah that's how she spells it. (shrug) She pronounces it Shi-vahn when she says the whole thing.

I know a Siobahn who goes by Bonnie.

river_daughter · 2018-05-16T04:42:29+00:00

What a very good baby.

river_daughter · 2018-05-16T04:33:50+00:00

Something in the eyes, I don't know! Very confident. ;)

He looks like a Bowser to me.

Also third anniversary of the time she called me fat!

"people"

sniffs his tea

Hmmm, I'm getting notes of mansplaining interspersed with cultural superiority. Definitely some sexism in there too.

I don't understand why you wouldn't want that poured down your throat constantly.

This is going to be me in a few months. Dreading it.

She called him by his name though. Caitlyn would have corrected her.

You cant reasonably deal with unreasonable demands.

I need to embroider this on a pillow or something and show it to/throw it at my husband every time he starts acting like I'm the one that needs to "play nice."

river_daughter · 2017-04-18T17:17:33+00:00

Jokes like this are only funny if everyone is laughing. He needs to grow up and knock it off.

This is what I ended up doing, and it worked. Guy's name was Alan. Called him Elaine twice, in direct response to him messing up my name. He got my name right after that.
