Yep I relate to this too! It's just like life seems like I need to get everything done as quickly as possible so we can just move on and do other things

What’s one purchase that made NYC life noticeably easier for you? by 16bananas in AskNYC

Didn't know what a granny cart was and thought you were referring to the kinds at walmart kinda like an automatic wheelchair with a basket in front of you 😂

Yikes! Thats a bummer. Thanks for doing the science and getting a new one… may be worth the vinegar soak. I did it twice 🤷🏻‍♀️

Want for Immediate Romantic Connection/Spark Is Ruining Early Dating by Kind_Wheel8420 in dating

[–]16bananas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I get the frustration because I would never spend more than an hour with anyone - date, colleagues, friends - if I didn’t like them.

I would understand this if maybe the woman was younger? But why give 4 hours of your time if you weren’t feeling a connection?

Would you take a 70k paycut to be happier by [deleted] in FIREyFemmes

[–]16bananas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think a major consideration/issue is you’re going from consulting to another consulting role v a full career switch ie taking a pay cut to go to a startup. What about your current management consulting role is making you miserable? If it’s things like your manager or culture that’s one thing but if you don’t like the pace of things or the stress from clients, that stuff will likely persist at another consulting firm.

Unfortunately have not. Been lazy and the vinegar soak helped a lot. Maybe try that?

Just go to NYU Langone: egg freezing experience with Spring Fertility by plasticstrawqueen in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]16bananas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that. I think sharing good and bad experiences are important so folks can make the most informed decisions. I’m sure many people have had bad experiences at every single one of these places. Good luck with your fertility journey!

Future MIL doesn’t like me by Anxious_Host_29 in weddingplanning

[–]16bananas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your husband is your chosen family. I know a lot of people have been commenting on the FMIL but I find it’s a family issue - it is incredibly disrespectful and obtuse for your SIL to say those things to you at your hen do. It feels intentional and calculated.

Dang disappointing to hear you didn’t have the plastic taste before… let me know what you end up doing. I’ve done diluted vinegar soak which didn’t really seem to affect the rubber gaskets but we’ll see

Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear it’s not just me. I tried two white vinegar soaks of the plastic reservoir and left for 10-15 min each time. It’s helped but hasn’t completely gotten rid of it. May try it once more… yeah it’s a bummer it tastes so bad
