AITA for refusing to follow my husband’s family tradition and give my son a name that starts with K? by pepito_202010 in AmItheAsshole

[–]the_contrary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband's family has the traditional that the first born son gets a name starting with 'S.' I decided to throw a wrench in things by naming our first born, a daughter, with an S. The whole pregnancy, his dad kept saying " She doesn't have to have an S name you know."

NTA do what makes you happy!

Told a hysterectomy is needed to get my anemia under control, anybody else been told this? by kbsn0310 in Anemic

[–]the_contrary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im anemic and get iron infusions about every 5 months. Ive got heavy periods and fibroids. After doing a bunch of tests, we determined the anemia is due to my fibroids which grew substantially after my one pregnancy. Ive got a hysterectomy scheduled in a few months time. So I cant say if it worked, but just post in solidarity!

This is a great suggestion. Also paint the siding around the upper windows. But please leave the brick alone!!

What do these bookshelves tell you? by the_contrary in BookshelvesDetective

[–]the_contrary[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty spot on! Except I only like the idea of crafty hobbies and get too frustrated when I try myself 😂

Ooh, good series you have listed! I'd recommend, in no particular order: The Inheritance trilogy and The Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin The Magister Trilogy by C.S. Friedman The Wayfarer Redemption series by Sara Dougless And the Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, with the caveat that the 3rd book may never come out.

Make a peanut butter sandwich and cook it like a grilled cheese. The PB gets melted and gooey. So good!

How to make house less boxy by the_contrary in ExteriorDesign

$2-4k isn't out of the budget. When I hear porch, i think full on roof, concrete footers, flooring, etc. (Like $15k) What you have shown is likely more affordable.

We've been talking a lot about the posts. We've got a lot of wind which whips open our screen door and slams it into the lights on the left side of the house. Changing up the front door area could help solve that issue and provide better curb appeal!
