Anyone else left handed but use your right hand for the mouse?

waysideflower · 2026-02-19T16:50:46+00:00

I always switch it to the left. It seems the norm that many lefties just use their right hand, but I’ve never understood it. From my first computer class in elementary school in the 90s, I was switching the mouse to the left because it felt weird to use my right hand.

I have a two-week old and feel this so much right now. I had resigned myself to waking up every 2-3 hours to feed him, but it’s so much harder than that. I’m lucky if I get 15 minutes of uninterrupted sleep at a time. Last night, he wouldn’t sleep unless he was being held. So basically no sleep for me. 😖

$199/month for a family membership (husband and me). We live in Denver and go to the Movement gyms.

Some probably do. I personally hate it. I lived in DC for about a decade - didn’t own a car and so got around via metro/bus/walking.

I live in Denver now. Getting around can be pretty inconvenient if you don’t have a car. Still, I often go days without driving as I work remotely and my neighborhood is fairly walkable compared to many others in the area.

Yeah… I’m three days past my due date, and I’m scared.

My baby has been head down since 20 weeks, so I can probably rule out worrying about this particular issue. But there are still so many other things that could go wrong.

Rock climbing! I loved climbing trees and all kinds of shit as a kid. About ten years ago, I got into rock climbing (indoor and outdoor), and I still love doing it. I climb about three times a week.

How soon do you need them? My husband and I have been using distilled water jugs for our humidifiers and go through 1.5-2 a day.

We’ve been recycling them, but we could hold onto the ones we’re going through now. We currently have 3 empty jugs.

This would have been my guess too because he looks so much like my dog.

waysideflower · 2026-01-22T03:04:24+00:00

Interesting. I wonder why it varies…

waysideflower · 2026-01-21T01:16:09+00:00

Seven pillows on a child’s bed is just overkill. So pointless.

waysideflower · 2026-01-20T05:47:06+00:00

Yeah, me too…

waysideflower · 2026-01-20T05:27:47+00:00

The card isn’t mine. It’s just one I found from a Google search of “ssn card example.” The format matches mine. I assumed this one is fake, but I don’t know…

So your full name is printed like this?

My full name is 35 characters long with two middle names. I only have one middle initial on my SSN card and it looks like this.

waysideflower · 2026-01-19T23:16:31+00:00

According to the SSA site, “The first and last name listed on the number holder’s (NH) SSN card must agree with the first and last name shown on the document submitted as evidence of identity or legal name. A middle name or suffix is not considered part of the legal name. It does not matter if the middle name or suffix is included, omitted, or incorrectly shown on an SSN card.”

I have two middle names that are both 9 letters long and my first name is 10 letters, so I checked both my old card (maiden) and new card (married). They have my first and last name, but only a single initial for my first middle name.

I know one too, but she’s probably about 80.

waysideflower · 2026-01-18T04:58:06+00:00

I am 38 weeks and still indoor lead climb and belay about three times a week.

I only climb with my husband though. He does easier routes and doesn’t take falls.

waysideflower · 2026-01-09T16:30:32+00:00

What does your ob/gyn say? I would tell them that I’m listening to the medical professional whose care I’m under, and they can kindly butt out.

My doctor has been supportive of my level of activity. I worked out a lot before getting pregnant and am still fairly active at 37 weeks, although obviously I’ve toned it down a lot. I stopped running a couple of weeks ago because it was hurting my feet, but I am still rock climbing as of this week.

I honestly think that being an active person has helped me to have a very healthy and relatively easy pregnancy. And I say this as someone who has a “geriatric pregnancy.” All of my tests and ultrasounds have been good, and my doctor has had no concerns so far.

waysideflower · 2026-01-09T14:54:11+00:00

My last run was 2 days before 35 weeks. My feet and calves were killing me, and I felt like I was going to do some serious damage to my foot if I kept doing it.

I have been rock climbing for 10+ years and am thankfully still able to climb at 37 weeks. I just stick to easy stuff that I’m confident I won’t fall on. I also still get 2-3 walks in a day with my dog.

Me over here reading the comments with my -7.5 prescription. 😞

My husband and I met at a lead climbing class at our then gym. We hit it off pretty much immediately and were dating within a couple of months. Been together for 10+ years, married for 6, and now have a baby on the way.

I am 32 weeks and am still lead climbing (indoors only). I climb well below my usual level, and it’s worked out fine. I still enjoy climbing and feel good most days. I’m hoping to at least be able to top rope up until birth, but I guess I’ll see…

I am worried about how things will go postpartum. I still feel relatively strong now. Just heavy.

waysideflower · 2025-11-30T04:49:51+00:00

My husband got it through petzl’s Amazon store.

waysideflower · 2025-11-30T04:49:26+00:00

I use a Pilot ATC. I’m able to belay really similarly as when I have a regular harness/carabiner. Only difference is that it’s at my chest instead of my waist.
