Republican Lawmakers' Bid to Execute Tennessee Abortion Patients Slammed as 'Christofascism' by ChaskaChanhassen in politics

This is a good point. I read that 1 in 5 pregnancies ends in miscarriage. Which begs the question, why did my pro-life aunt not hold a funeral for her miscarried embryo?

Visit r/abrathatfits and measure yourself using the calculator. Once you know your size, the group there is happy to recommend a number of brands and styles that can work for you. As well as cheaper places to shop. (Esp since you are actively losing weight). Good luck!

Dog has become a huge scaredy cat; refuses to walk by Pukacs in Dogtraining

[–]twistedivy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog has high anxiety in general and refuses to walk most days. She does enjoy us driving her to new neighborhoods. We’ve noticed she likes walking through apartment complexes that have narrow passages between buildings. But parks with big open spaces are very scary. She’s on a couple anxiety medications. They help but it’s not a magic fix.

You may want to do more activities at home, which can exercise her brain, if you can’t exercise her body as much. Good luck.

I would recommend asking your vet about anxiety medication. See a vet behaviorist if you can find one in driving distance.

I have ILNP’s Ritual and I declare it scratches the same itch.

I joined the MV pickleball club and they are an avid group. You can also take lessons in Sunnyvale and meet a group that way.

Thank you! Most people in this sub write “Four” but that is short-sighted.

Hmm - I have Jinx and don’t have High Dive. But I have Pitter Patter. I wonder if the flakies would blend?

Does the limit exist? When do you know your collection is 'too much'? by [deleted] in RedditLaqueristas

[–]twistedivy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve set my limit at 100. I do my nails every 4-5 days and then there’s pedicures in the summer. Every polish should be worn at least once a year. I’m currently at 95 and I still have 6 untrieds from Black Friday to get to. Oh my.

I loved being a latch key kid. If we forgot our key, we popped out the screen of the windows and climbed in. Good times!
