omg when I was around 8 or 9 my mom bought me a book that was a compilation of Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales and she also bought a book of Grimms fairy tales. I had a blast reading Hans Christian Andersen's stories, and then I finished the book and thought hm maybe the brothers Grimm compilation will be just as good!

I was wrong. Shit gave me nightmares for YEARS. I didn't dare open the book again till I was 12.

The story that terrified me the most was something about a princess or a high-ranking girl (forgot what rank she was) whose mother died and her stepmother used it as an excuse to treat her badly, demoting her to the rank of a slave. I don't remember the story or what it was called, but she had a horse and it was her only friend, and then someone killed it? There was also at some point someone being decapitated and their head being buried in a potted plant, and she dug up the head by accident one day. What the fuck lmao. The only other detail I remember was one character being named Falada, I think it was the horse?? Idk that story freaked me out so much I never dared to read it again, so it's been years and my memory of it is hazy

Oh holy fuck, exploded nappies.

My twins are disabled - they’re 6 now, one still in nappies 24/7 and one only at night. One sleeps on his front and we had a major issue with the first lot of prescription nappies we got - they’d just fill up at the front and overflow or burst. Even if we changed him in the night, or more than once, we’d still wake up often with exploded nappies. That stuff is a bloody nightmare to clean up and absolutely stinks. Agree though - hard floors should be mandatory with kids (with padding down when they’re little and falling a lot obviously!). I absolutely dread to think what state carpets would be in between all the accidents, sickness bugs, exploded nappies, toilet training, spills… and the time one managed to reach a bottle of liquid watercolour on a shelf (big error).

You can apologize and let her know you were getting mixed signals. If she's not interested in you romantically and you still want to be friends then you need to set up boundaries that you can both agree on.

If you are in the US, they are not allowed to charge the patient for copies of records. It’s part of the Hi Tech Act. I’d call them and just say there’s no balance for the records and that you assume this is because records are free for the patient, but want to verify.
