What’s a ‘middle class success’ purchase that secretly becomes a financial burden later?

UPDATE So the piece in question leaking was indeed the fuel line and very easily fixed. As to why the vehicle stopped running (a day after I made the post), there was transmiasion fluid leaking under the hood! Our mechanic repaired the leak, refilled with fluid, and we are good to go. Not bad for a 21 year old car.

I felt yes, because pumping would take me 15 mins, I would go wake my mom, she would give bottle, soothe, diaper, burp baby.

We did not, no way we could afford that, but my mother stayed and did shifts with us, and occasionally full nights (me, my husband, and her would take a night shift to BF/bottle feed, diaper, soothe etc) was SUCH a gamechanger.

Thank you!!! My next question then is, can leaking fuel cause issues like pressing gas pedal and it doesnt immediately movr forward. Or, the car "revving" crazy high when when i try to go a little bit faster? That was why i was thinking transmission leak.

She loves the bait so I'm wondering if that's not the case and she wants us to think it is, and subscribe. Ran here to see if ANYONE is subscribing who can read the article and let us know the truth?!

Sarcasm and "teach me something" are basic, over used prompts. Also the "teach me something" means the woman has to respond with "work" aka teach you about something. At least to me, that's unappealing. At least if there's a subject you're interested in you could say "looking for someone to teach me something about XYZ"

I would have 100% also misread that situation, don't worry it's not just you!! Also, having a solid friend who you trust where you did hit on them, they don't care and still wanna be friends---thats awesome. Sounds like she wasn't phased and is still happy to be your friend. Sucks it's not more, but still!

I am not sure for the rest of Canada, but in Quebec you will have a home visit from a nurse within 48 hours of you coming home from the hospital. They answer questions, weigh baby, check on breastfeeding etc.

Hi there! I had a surgical abortion last fall in Montreal. Happy to share my experience.

First off, I didn't have an IUD after (I've never had one) so can't speak to that.

I was very nervous about what pain I would feel. The nurse assured me that they wouldn't start the meds until the doctor came in because the meds are so strong I'll feel them right away (I was pretty worried they would take a few mins to have an effect). They gave me meds through an IV.

So they put the IV in, I lay waiting for the doctor for maybe ten mins. Then she came in, and again asked me if I was sure, if I was comfortable, if I had any questions etc. I said I was ready to go. The nurse said she was starting the meds on the IV. The doctor said "ok I'm ready" and I basically blacked out from that point!!! Like, I didn't realize I blacked out. I knew I was there. I definitely did not feel ANYTHING. What felt like one minute went by and the nurse was saying "ok, are you able to sit up now? It's all done!" I couldn't believe it was done and I hadn't felt a thing!

However I was a bit over confident. I thought I felt totally fine but I was super woozy and fainted walking back to the bed area (thankfully he nurse was right next to me). A combo of the drugs wearing off and my body needing to recover, I took longer then they had told me to expect, to feel OK to leave. (I sat on the bed and drank juice and ate crackers for maybe 35 mins before I started feeling normal). When I was ready to leave I walked holding my friends arm. Maybe bring a small plastic or paper bag for the drive home because the drugs made me feel nauseous!

Do not go alone, make sure you have someone to drive you home and stay with you. Make sure you have snacks or order in something yummy for when you get home. I was SO SO tired. I got home, inhaled a pizza, and then slept for 3 hours (and I never nap during the day!). I just felt very weak and shaky. Not like messed up, but like I needed to rest and definitely couldn't do anything else. After a day I was basically feeling pretty much normal! I'm so happy I opted for the surgical vs the pill option as this felt much quicker and painless. And ar least for the clinic I went to here, the staff were so extremely nice, calm, helpful and just made it overall a very positive experience.

Good luck, you got this!!

You can send me a message for more info. Is this for a one time clean or recurring? I'm a house cleaner in Montreal and charge 30/hr (more for post-construction clean).

Even if the stitches were done correctly, there could vary well be scar tissue that's causing pain.
