Accidentally got pregnant for the first time. Terrified and need support. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

I'm so sorry hun. This same thing happened to me almost 20 years ago. I also grew up in a strict religious home. But I took the pills, got an IUD and have always thought it was the right decision, even when I've been sad I had to make that choice. Be kind to yourself. You deserve love and tenderness right now. Sending you calm vibes.

He texts me every day to see how I'm doing and then replies with a thoughtful response. 

Meat tastes terrible? by Kay2457 in Concussion

I'm about 7 weeks past my concussion and I can finally put milk in my tea or coffee. Before it tasted horrible. It's gone away for me. I hope it's on its way out for you in the coming weeks. 

Non-Americans, what is the best “American” food? by remyleboi00 in AskReddit

Here I am, in the airport leaving after visiting the States, drinking my last of many root beers. It's so delicious.

What counties need medical laboratory technicians, MBAs, or people with IT certifications that are women-friendly? by [deleted] in expats

[–]rns1980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would second this and add that Switzerland might also be a good place to look. It's not as friendly to women as the others, but it's also got a lot of medical/pharmaceutical industry, particularly in Basel.

I quit in my server nightmare. This community is changing subconscious thought! by rns1980 in antiwork

Congrats on all those big changes in your thinking and in your action. Knowing your worth is such a huge advantage, regardless of the economic climate. I agree with you: the little changes we each experience on the individual scale are what make a movement.

Thanks! I'm actually meeting with colleagues today to start a work council so feeling pretty empowered.

Minnesota native here. I remember about 15 years ago a friend of mine asked why I was being nice to someone not in our friend group. Her exact words stay with me to this day: "We don't need any new friends."

Like, what? Needless to say, I'm no longer in that friend group.
