I'm a help-offerer but I would never assume to help without discussing it with the person. I try not to take frostiness to heart.
I look pretty pregnant today. Is that normal for almost 13 weeks? Also, I passed my glucose test! So happy as I was really worried about it for some reason. Next PG escapade: 1st trimester screening on Thursday. Eek.
Yes, definitely ask.
Some people are going to get put out anyway because there is a certain kind of person who thinks being a strong person with a disability makes you Klingon or something...Do It Yourself Or Die.

I just fan-girled all over a writer for Sports Night and West Wing.

Or my fake tagline name-check, Mr. Chabon.
I had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory with my dad, where even their "lunch" portions are enough to feed a basketball team. And then we went to the Godiva store because my dad wanted a macaroon. I got a chocolate-covered strawberry, which I later learned was $6. Jesus Christ, a $6 strawberry.
(When I said, "Oh my god, if I knew it was $6 I would have just gotten a piece of chocolate, Dad said, "Are you kidding? It's your BIRTHDAY -- you can have whatever you want!" Good dad.)
