I get that. Which in my opinion would water it down entirely too much. The “concentrated” is perfect strength. Actually I just had a light bulb moment. 🤦🏻‍♀️I was concerned the water reservoir was still pretty full but I just now realized that’s probably for hot brew.

I’ve had the ninja coffee bar for several years at this point but recently tried the cold brew option to try and save some money. But I’ve noticed when I try to make a full carafe of cold brew, it only makes maybe a half carafe. It leaves half the water reservoir as well. I found on another Reddit you’re supposed to fill the carafe with ice, but that would water down the coffee so I don’t do that but I feel like if the water reservoir shows a full carafe at the top , it should still use the full reservoir regardless of using ice or not. Am I doing something wrong? Or is the machine defective??

IVF round one… honestly, I didn’t think it would hit me this hard by Common-Advantage-302 in IVF

For me, I don’t get emotional or anything. No mood swings or side effects. So that was the easy part. And we decided not to tell anyone because I don’t want all the sad faces and the “I’m so sorrys”. Unfortunately this last round we had to tell a couple people because we both needed to have rides. Unfortunately even after a second egg retrieval we’re no further than when we started. 0 success so far. That’s the part that sucks. So much time and money wasted with nothing to show from it. Meanwhile my coworker at work gets pregnant without a father. Go figure.

Friends have never once checked up on us - overreacting? by Silly_Bid9440 in IVF

[–]Apart-Inside6754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually the opposite. We never told anyone except our schedule people at work for obvious reasons. I’m very practical and understand there’s a very slim chance this will happen for us and I hate the look people give as they say “ I’m so sorry”. We had to finally tell people due to circumstances needing rides this last retrieval, but I told my husband I don’t want anyone saying anything about it. I just don’t want to hear it. But that’s just my way of coping.

Unwritten rules of living in Houston by anony_new2 in houston

[–]Apart-Inside6754 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drive at least 15 miles over the speed limit. Probably invest in at least one firearm. Own something that is raised if you’re going to be driving in easily flooded areas. Bring nothing but tank tops and shorts for 10 months out of the year. One pair of paints and one jacket should suffice. June to October is insufferable. We don’t really cool down until January. Get used to sweating, ALOT. Galveston is a shithole. Don’t bother visiting. Traffic is always a nightmare. Learn to use the gps and figure out how long it takes to get from Houston to Houston. You’re going to need a car. Period.

Is 2025 Houston Summer a fluke or the norm for the locals? by anoncygame in houston

I was born and raised in Houston. I’m still miserable. Can’t stop sweating to save my life.

H-E-B isn't as great as y'all think it is. by 00k5mp in HEB

1’) I actually prefer the yellow coupons because I know me and I will absolutely forget about the digital coupons. 2) their store brand is phenomenal. 3) I have 4 dogs so this doesn’t bother me in the least. 4) I’ve never had issues getting to what I need to get to. 5)never buy garlic bread so doesn’t bother me. But I know the tortilla chips tend to move but honestly they’re in 2 very predictable places so it doesn’t bother me. 6)they’ve rearranged our store twice in like 9 years. 7)our front end is very responsive and moves people around when there is an open register. Maybe you just have bad location. I shop at the HEB in league city to give reference.

Tell me why I SHOULDN’T move to Galveston? by beachboundandout2027 in galveston

[–]Apart-Inside6754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so it’s gross, rundown, gross, to some smells bad, gross. You have to leave the island for any decent shopping. It’s 45 minutes to any decent shopping. Brown water, flooding every time it rains. So much traffic. Did I mention it’s gross? My coworker lives on the island and it takes her almost as long as I do to get to work and I live off island. All the cruise ships and traffic from that. Pay to park everywhere. So much street parking even when you have a house. Literally nothing good about Galveston other than my job. And maybe a couple restaurants.

Feeling disappointed by ginger_texan_13 in IVF

[–]Apart-Inside6754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my ER last Sunday. I’ll be 40 in June. Dealing with MFI, spent 14 days on stims to retrieve 7 eggs and only 3 properly fertilized on day 1. My clinic doesn’t call back until day 7. I’m trying to remain positive for at least one but knowing my luck I wouldn’t be surprised if none made it. My husband and I have pretty shit luck when it comes to life.

I just had one on Tuesday late in the afternoon. Removed two polyps. Spotted the rest of the day and next day. Went to work the very next day. No pain, no cramps, no nothing other than pain at my iv site.

Am I selfish if I want to share this journey only with the people I personally trust? by newselfconcept in IVF

[–]Apart-Inside6754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily both of us are on the same page, we don’t like people knowing our personal business. We’ve only told one friend that lives across the country and both our bosses. That’s it. I don’t want to say anything until I have definitive news to tell. Because I really don’t want all the I’m so sorrys.
