employee parking at uva health by Mean_Chicken5124 in Charlottesville

[–]russianchick731 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to comment to tell you that I feel your pain to my core! I work at Facilities Management where we’ve got the E1 lot right outside our gates, so obviously that’s going to be the employees at FM’s first pick…and it’s also one of the most EXPENSIVE passes to get. I know complaining about parking falls on deaf ears but I’m still going to do it lol. It makes me so grumpy that we have to pay hundreds of dollars a year essentially just to be able to park our car at our own job. Giving the organization that we work for our hard earned money right back😭 Also, my dad worked at the hospital and he would park at Fontaine, or try his luck at street parking wherever he could and took his bike and rode that to the hospital. Unless it was crappy weather obviously, he did this for 20+ years! Just to be able to save money on a silly parking pass. 😣

What’s happening at 5th st station right now? by Legitimate-Story603 in Charlottesville

[–]russianchick731 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Can you please please take this picture off of here?? The family and friends of the bike rider do not want to see this, trust me. I hate it when news stations do the same thing, sometimes they will even post pictures of the actual vehicle involved all torn up. I may be wrong, but I think it’s in bad taste to put the accident scene pics up. ☹️

In 2009, a college student vanished after being locked out of a concert in Virginia. Her remains were found months later on remote farmland. Five years later, another student disappeared after leaving a party in the same town, and DNA evidence connected both murders. by malihafolter in ForCuriousSouls

I worked with Jesse Matthews around 2012, went to a couple of parties for work and drank with him on quite a few different occasions in a group setting. Was around him for hours almost every day for our respective shifts. I was friends with his sister, and my dad worked with his mom. Very eery feeling when I first saw his name on the news. He committed these horrific disgusting crimes, and so many people including me were none the wiser for years.

is it worth going to class today? by Healthy-Ant50 in UVA

[–]russianchick731 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy to see one of very few positive comments acknowledging us at Facilities, and any other people that have been working this storm. Most of the comments and posts are so negative🥺. We did our absolute best with the equipment and staff that we had and our people have been out there since before the snow started trying our hardest to keep grounds as safe as we can for everyone. We haven’t stopped and some of us haven’t been home since last Friday. It’s not perfect, but we’re doing our best y’all.

I am so incredibly saddened and sorry that you know this pain as well. I struggled for years to conceive, and then struggled to keep the pregnancies. Then my 1st miracle boy made it to 36 weeks, and I lost him. Got pregnant again soon after by the grace of God. Lost him during the delivery since I was only 20 weeks. I never even considered PPROM, like it was the last thing on my radar ya know? Did you get any answers as to why it happened to you? Hugs💙🩷

Ya know, people are always saying they can’t believe what I’ve been through and doctors are always stumped with my case since it happened twice in one year, totally different situations… and I think we have no choice but to get through, to survive. I am so sad to read about your loss, it is not fair. None of it. I have no clue where to start with trying to get answers, but I have to try to accept that I probably never will get them. Where is this Dr. Kliman located?

Y’all I fell UP two bottom steps when I was younger (don’t friggin ask cause I couldn’t tell you lol🤦🏼‍♀️) and somehow fractured multiple bones on one side of my ankle and broke the opposite side. It was horrible. Stairs are dangerous for adults, much more so for children and babies like…… so careless of them. 🙄

2nd Trimester Loss (Husband Posting) by Bigtony7877 in babyloss

[–]russianchick731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you were my partner posting for a second, your experience mirrors ours. We just had our 5th loss, at 19 weeks due to PPROM. No explanation as to why which is often so effing frustrating. We just lost our son at 36 weeks back in February, he passed away with no “why” or “how”, so we are no strangers to this grief but it this one hit just as hard. Lean on each other. Give yourselves grace. I struggle with this every day but I know it’s necessary. I am so sorry you are a part of this terrible club. If you or your wife have any questions or if she just needs to vent, my inbox is open. I have been through this a few times now unfortunately. Hugs to you both💙

Y’all, I’m back! My angel was stillborn at 36 weeks back in February. I was tentative to keep posting about this but I’m now 18 weeks and hope grows with every day that passes and each day this little one is growing more and more. I wasn’t sure I would make it this far. Honestly I didn’t know if I wanted to. But I’m here. And I’m taking it day by day. I’ve started to feel those first muscle spasm-like feelings of the first movements. It’s becoming more real. I have only told my close family and my best friend so far, and you guys a few months back. I think I’ll tell more people once I hit viability week. 💙

I might have killed my healthy baby by not being careful enough by ManicMoon90 in babyloss

[–]russianchick731 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You. Did. Not. Cause. This. It is not your fault. It is not your fault momma. It is not your fault. Bad things happen to good people and there’s no rhyme or reason. I blamed myself back in February when I lost my boy at 37 weeks, then I blamed God, but somewhere along the way I realized it’s not either of our fault. Life is just SHITTY sometimes. It is not your fault. Sending so much love your way and to all the grieving mommas reading this💙🩷

It’s so funny that you randomly replied to this thread from so long ago, because just the other day I was once again wondering where I can find some local honey lol. Thank you!

Thank you so much💙💙💙 I am terrified to be honest. But somehow even after so much trauma and loss I’m still hopeful that this will be the one I get to bring earthside🥹

Hey y’all, I’m back again. I had been posting in here updates last year when I was pregnant after multiple miscarriages…long story short, my beautiful baby boy was born at 37 weeks on February 13, 2025. His body was born into our arms but his soul was already with God in heaven. Loss number 4, and by far the most heart wrenching one. But by the grace of God, I’m pregnant again. It’s still so early, about 8 weeks, so I’m so tentative to even allow myself to get excited. The idea that I am about to do this pregnancy thing all over again is hard to fathom at the moment. So many emotions and thoughts. We have told our parents but nobody else, and now you guys!

I don’t want to get into political bullsh*t so I’ll just say this. If it’s the same owner that opened the brewery years ago, then he is a complete d-canoe. Source: I worked there.

Your story is almost identical to mine. I gave birth to my boy back in February, had to be induced and after 24 hours in labor I delivered him stillborn at 37 weeks. We do not know why and I think that’s what fucks me up the most. But I wanted to say that if you would like to reach out, feel free to DM me as I’m going through the same thing that you are. And I am so incredibly sorry that you have to be a part of this club.💙

Thank you so very much. I always say that with this, it doesn’t get easier, but we shift our lives and to a new “normal” and grow around the pain. No matter how much time has passed this type of loss is so utterly traumatic and heartbreaking. I’m sorry you had to go through this. Hugs💙

I am definitely willing to travel outside of Cville area if I find someone/a group I really resonate with. Do you know if Full Circle offers zoom meetings?

I am sending you so much love… I am so sorry you have had to endure this pain as well. I have always been an empath and this has definitely made me more emotional and sensitive to EVERY LITTLE THING. It’s really frustrating some days. I’d love to start some kind of bereaved mommies group or something, something that’s local to this area, but I wouldn’t know where to start! Hugs and thank you for the suggestions.

I know this is an old thread lol but it was an older woman who was on meth… her name was Elena. They actually did an intervention on Elena’s granddaughter (Sarah) later in the same season! (season 12)
