I’d say it sets a precedent that a child isn’t a child until after birth. They don’t want to pay the bill without proof of purchase. Fuck these vermin.

Maybe I’m just getting old, but these “special” flavors are just ridiculous. There is nothing wrong with regular old peeps. You want extreme peeps? Go play Pudgy Bunny and try not to choke; no special flavors required.
higgsboshark The thing about knitting is it’s much harder to fear the existential futility of all your actions while you’re doing it LIke ok, sure, sometimes it’s hard to believe you’ve made any positive impact on the wortd. But It’s pretty easy to believe you’ve made a sock. Look at it. There it is. Put it on, now...
Can confirm this is true. I’ve been having a hellish time at work this past month but I still hanging in there, have three completed sets of knitted socks, and my feet are super toasty. Two outta three ain’t bad.
The article says that one of the contaminates was ethylene glycol. That is truly one of the most horrible poisons to die from. Like how did that even get in there?
Okoye (Danai Guria) from the Black Panther movies. Went with my husband to see this movie and when we were walking back to the car he said “Damn, Okoye was hot, she reminds me of you.” ❤️ He also has a thing for Grace Mallory from the show The Boys. I think I created a monster.
What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?
A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.
Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.
How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?
American here, the gas station is our version of the local corner store. Most places you have to drive to get to it but where I live there is one right at the entrance to the neighborhood and lots of adults/kids do walk there. I would sorely miss it if it was gone.
When the first Funko pops came out I got my husband one of the Bumble from the Rudolph cartoon. (He collects Bumbles.) Somehow we ended up in a situation where we each started hiding the Bumble in various weird places all over the house for each other to find. He finally won by hiding it behind my shampoo bottle in the shower and scaring me to death. (I have really bad eyesight.) I stopped the game at that point before anyone got hurt.
I kind of get the point you’re trying to make but I very much disagree. This line of thinking is one of the reasons US healthcare is so hellbent on pushing PAs and NPs to fill the doctor gap. And it’s not working because there is no substitute for a well trained doctor or specialist.
And that’s really the point, you don’t add meaning to your life because you have a kid. You add meaning to your life by helping others. Some people do that with their kids while my husband and I choose to do that with friends and family. I’m happy with being child free and I’m happy for those people who find meaning in raising their kids. It’s not an either/or situation.
People will come and go throughout your life and I completely understand that is a really scary concept for most folks. Blood family connections are mostly a given in life (whether you want them or not) but all other connections are something you have to consciously work at. You just have to keep an open mind and look for opportunities to form those connections with others. Maybe you’ll become a mentor for some else going through a similar life situation. Maybe you’ll get “adopted” by an elder who has love to give. And maybe you’ll become an auntie/uncle to nibblings (blood relatives or adopted). None of these roles will give you the real experience of parenthood and that’s ok because every role is valid and there is no guarantee in life that says we get to experience them all. You’ll find that the roles you come to fill and work on are the ones you really need in the end.
Haha no just want to share the love. I am super cheap and I splurged on getting a top quality pillow a few years back and it was so worth it. I really wish I’d done it sooner.
