I had a home birth, which is getting more common again but not common enough that I personally know another woman who has done it, aside from my midwife.
I've had over six parrots on my body at one time.
I guess living with three parrots is kind of unusual. We hand-weaned two of them. The third came to us from another family.
Having been in a vac bed is uncommon, right?
I used to do urbex before motherhood turned me into a pansy, so I've been inside a defunct ice house and hiked through a disused race track, then sat on the rusting hulk of a wrecked car and drank a vitamin water. That might be somewhat unique.
I have some experiences from my previous career that are pretty heavy, but also completely amazing and awe inspiring. Given the specialized field, not many people get to be a part of someone's life like that (both patient and their family), and they really stuck with me
On a less serious note, I've sunbathed topless, in very non-mom bikini bottoms while in Aruba. That's about as crazy as I get.
Since this NEVER COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME, I should let you know that there is a nasal spray that helps with the hormone issue that tends to cause post childhood bedwetting, and it was a n absolute godsend during my awkward adolescence.
whaaa?? This is interesting!! I just thought I was scared of my dad, lol. What was REALLY wrong with my hormones?? Please go on.
Dude, there is such a hereditary component here. My parents have crappity genes, so yay.
Basically, when some people are sleep, their brains never gets the message from the bladder saying "HEY ASSHOLE I'M FULL, WAKE UP AND FREE UP SOME REAL ESTATE HERE!!!" So you don't wake up.
there is a nasal spray that supposedly makes up for the hormone imbalance that creates the "no HEY ASSHOLE" signal, and when they put me on it, t was like night and day.
Everyone grows out of it eventually, but for real, this made adolescence much, MUCH easier.

Adopted two boys from Russia Traveled the world before my dad retired from the Navy Valedictorian of HS class, almost flunked out of college (undergrad), went on to get a PhD
I think when our parents generation had it, they figured it was no big deal. Even after my mom could SEE how much better I was doing on it, she was still hesitant to keep me on it. It's like it wasn't a big deal to her or something. It was frustrating.

I thought that nasal spray for bedwetting was recalled? The one I was on as a kid was, anyhow.
A vac bed is like a full-body sleeping bag, but latex and with a breathing tube. Then the air gets sucked out, sort of like if you were shrink-wrapped.

I am going to have to clear my browsing history after this weekend. This board has been educational, and I've had to look up a few things.

I once pulled 2 tampons out of me. Disgusting.
Um...I had sex with 2 guys in 6 hours, maybe? One was my boyfriend. The other was his roommate. WHORE.
I tried to commit suicide after my boyfriend broke up with me. I took a bunch of sleeping pills and waited outside his house. When he didn't appear, I knocked on the door and told his mom what I had done and she took me to the hospital. Having your stomach pumped 3 days before Christmas is awesome.
And yes, this was the boyfriend whose roommate I slept with. I can't believe what a raging moron I was at 19.
