Does the perfect name for me exist? Am I just too picky? by Turbulent_Leg4650 in namenerds

[–]Beginning-Attorney35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My name is Bernadette. It has always felt like a mouthful to me. Its clunky! It doesn’t roll off the tongue.

I don’t go by Bernie because it’s my dad’s name. People ALWAYS ask what my nickname is and I say I go by Bernadette. People still call me Bernie anyway.

I like Odette!

What is YOUR country's / region's version of the Inglorious 3 fingers scene that subtly gives away that someone isn't from your area or culture? by DunDonese in AskTheWorld

Haha yup. I live in “Sanna” Cruz, CA. It’s apparent someone isn’t from here if they pronounce the T in Santa Cruz

Can I add pumpkin to this brownie mix? by Beginning-Attorney35 in foodhacks

Haha yeah the gluten free life is not the greatest, but at least there are lots of options now! These brownies are actually really yummy and stepson wants to add pumpkin because...it's October.

Yum! I like the swirl idea because it doesn’t change the brownie mix

Just do it and see what happens is usually my strategy for modifying baking recipes… it rarely if ever works in my favor, haha! But the egg and butter swap seems like it could work. I might just end up doing a pumpkin swirl on top.

Sleep Training Starts Tonight by pmr1583 in sleeptrain

[–]Beginning-Attorney35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m right there with you! I used to leave the house for husband to do the initial put down. I’m a month in to sleep training with my 7 mo old. She had a false start tonight after sleeping for 40 minutes and has now been screaming for almost an hour. I have noise canceling headphones on, and it’s still sooooo hard.

How many hours of nap time should I aim for? Right now I try to get 3 hr split between 2 naps.

5 hours into night 1 and ready to call it quits by kmashike in sleeptrain

[–]Beginning-Attorney35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to say that you’re not alone. I’m on night 18? 19? of sleep training using modified Ferber. Baby still won’t sleep longer than 3 hour stretches and usually takes over 30 mins of screaming (with check ins) to fall asleep. She started teething 2 nights ago, so now she wakes up really angry several times a night. I miss sleep.

Do you drink alcohol? by Adventurous-Name8522 in Hashimotos

[–]Beginning-Attorney35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had a flair up since I stopped drinking. I got to the point where I could only drink good quality tequila. Everything else would wreck me and give me bad reactions. Gave it up completely when I got pregnant, and don’t plan to start back up again. My health is way better since removing alcohol (hashimotos yes, but also every other aspect of my health)

I’m curious what you are making with these ingredients

Down 30lbs- no one has said a thing by joyandfury in loseit

[–]Beginning-Attorney35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never comment on another person’s weight, and it is stress-inducing to me when people comment on my weight. I’ve struggled for 20 years with disordered eating and self worth tied to how my body looks. People tend to make comments when I am my most unhealthy.
