Left is the word that indicates that someone actively left this baby alone. They could have said baby found alone. Baby discovered. Heck, baby alone for days after mother's death. Baby left absolutely implies it is the doing, or fault, of the person who left the baby. The person who is responsible. Now who will society assume is responsible for a new baby, but the mother?
Even you. You said, hey we could just as easily blame this on society as on the mother! No mention of the absent father.
I thought it was awful until I read the books. They introduce you too fast to too many characters and don't give you the chance to get interested in any of them. Once I knew all the characters from the books it was fun to watch (though beer helped as well)
Is it possible she now feels like, "well we only go out like twice a year, this is a special treat, and I want to get exactly what I want!" (Mostly) Joking on that.
My only suggestion (that you didn't ask for) is that if she can't decide between a burger and tenders, maybe you get the burger and agree to split it with her getting the tenders. My husband and I do this (he doesn't love it so we don't do it often) but my sister and I always do it, that way we can get something healthy AND something indulgent
Idk. My birth control triggered treatment resistant depression. Possible it could have happened anyway, but I didn't struggle with any mental health issues before that. We tried all different kinds of birth control. My doctor certainly didn't warn me about the risks for any of them.
I wasn't even trying to be safe for sex, I just had chronic pain. No pain meds ever offered. Just birth control suggested from early in my adolescence. When I finally eventually started birth control it didn't fix my pain and I ended up leaving college and my life fell off the rails for years. Major depression is no joke.
I think people underestimate how much hustling selling pictures online involves. Finding the sect of your audience who is actually willing to pay, beating your competition while trying to respect the market (in certain communities there are price floors to keep it stable), then attracting your customers without revealing your identity or identifiable backgrounds, while competing with other sellers who don't care about privacy, then the actual content creation, and after all of that customers really like personal touches, and some conversation. Then if you say or reveal anything that messes with their fantasy, you lose them. Even if you're a hottie, it's not easy money. Easier to just get a regular ol job.
What about taxes? Health Insurance? Car insurance or transportation budget. You can live comfortably on $10 a day for food?? $3.30 a meal? That eats up the rest of that $1300 a month and leaves nothing for entertainment, savings, gifts or dating. Nothing left for meeting that health insurance deductible so you still can't go to the doctor. Survivable? Absolutely! Doesn't sound comfortable to me though.
I listened to a podcast basically saying once you're really smart, it's likely your life just really sucks. Of course there are a handful of people who are wildly successful, but most high IQ people just feel like nothing in the world was built for them. Basically the father out on the bell curve you are, the less the world is made for you to function happily in, whether your IQ is 60 or 140. If you want to be smart and happy, a doctor or lawyer or whatever, 125 is the sweet spot. 140 is depression.
You probably also shouldn't mention that you have a mother or a father because that forces OP to picture your parents doing the deed to make you. Same goes for siblings and grandparents.
I love water, easily my most preferred beverage; I'll choose water even if my meal comes with a drink. But it makes me sick in the middle of the night or in the morning. I don't get it. It makes me nauseous. If I cut the water with juice or I drink coffee it's fine. If I wait until like 11:40 am, it's fine. But if I wake up parched at 4 am and I chug water like I want to, I'll feel sick. If I drink half a glass before breakfast? Sick. OJ? Fine any time. Coffee, apple juice, 2/3 apple juice with 1/3 water? All fine. What's wrong with me?
He's not Jack Black in "the big year" he also did a movie about being a mortician in a small town or something. Not that good of a movie, but definitely not Jack Black
