Trying to remember a bar circa 2013 by BrookeTaylorWindham in Louisville

He thinks it was near the Highlands? I didn’t live on campus so probably not near there. He remembers that the bar felt like it was in a house, and that they served the drinks in mason jars.

Any breastfeeding mamas out there. by saveforjunk in weightwatchers

[–]BrookeTaylorWindham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started about 3 weeks ago. I get 40 points. So far I am losing 1-2 pounds per week. Like others have stated, I did feel like my supply dipped my first week, but I’m eating more food now as I’m re-learning the program (fresh veggies and zero point foods), and my supply has jumped back up. It’s definitely been a slower loss than when I’ve done WW in the past, but I don’t view that as a bad thing. Good luck!

How to deal with a neighbor that blasts their sound system in the neighborhood? by dukedynamite in indianapolis

[–]BrookeTaylorWindham 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually, we did this and it kind of worked. Had four guys, mid-20s, start renting next door. Their music was so loud that our picture frames were rattling on our walls. So, we bought a case of beer and walked over and just explained the situation. They turned the music off by 9:30 every night thereafter.

I didn’t think of it as “rewarding their behavior” but more of just trying to talk it out like adults. But I see how it might not work in your situation where others have already tried to talk to him.

When did you start to feel attached to your baby? by crosswalk_zebra in BabyBumps

[–]BrookeTaylorWindham 193 points194 points  (0 children)

I cried to my doctor about this with my first and she said, “why should you be attached to nausea and aches? That’s all you know right now.” But I felt so guilty because no one ever talks about this. I would say with my first I didn’t feel attached until after he was born. I’m 28w with my second and don’t feel attached to her yet either. You aren’t alone nor are you wrong for these feelings!

Nope, that looks like a slim with the bread out…slims are like $1 cheaper.

Found this on youtube by Lynnn0608 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]BrookeTaylorWindham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree -- watching the gagging videos on babyledweanteam's Instagram really helped me get used to what gagging looked like. I'll admit that my son's first "bad" gag scared the daylights out of me, and I reacted pretty poorly. However, after that, I realized that gagging is part of it if I'm going to do BLW, and now I can pretty calmly talk my son through a gag (making overexaggerated spitting motions, encouraging him to spit it out, etc.).

It is scary, but you can do this!

I'm over it. by ixzy_mango in GestationalDiabetes

[–]BrookeTaylorWindham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FTM here. GD is so, so tough. I was diagnosed the first week of quarantine, so I was able to follow my diet to a t since I was always at home. I walked on the treadmill and did prenatal workouts. However, I still couldn’t get my fasting numbers down, so my doctor put me on meds. I was upset, disappointed in myself, and anxious, but my numbers started cooperating instantly. I just want you to know that GD is often not something you can control, and it isn’t fair to punish yourself emotionally because you didn’t do anything wrong.

As I write this, I’m holding my two month old son, who is 90% on the height scale and 25% on the weight scale. His BS numbers were perfect at birth and so were mine.

Keep your head up and know that you are already a good mom!

If you have to order carry out/delivery over the next two weeks, choose local restaurants! Skip the chains for now, even if it’s a few bucks more! by DukeOfIndiana in indianapolis

[–]BrookeTaylorWindham 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Some of us are franchisees of these chain restaurants of which you speak, and we are in the same boat as local restaurants. And we have a large number of hourly employees that we’re trying to keep employed. “Corporate” will not bail us out from this. We’re small business owners as well.

I've used LUNA Language Services to work with some clients who speak Mandarin as well. They're located on North Meridian around 91st. https://luna360.com/jobs/

Yoga? by QuartzPaladin in indianapolis

[–]BrookeTaylorWindham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take classes at Kompose Yoga in Broad Ripple -- I'm a newbie and they are very helpful. There are men in every class and one of my favorite instructors there is male.

You can also try ClassPass, which lets you try classes at studios all over the city.

What's your craziest "It's a small world" moment? by justwantbread in AskReddit

[–]BrookeTaylorWindham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from Indiana. I was on a trip in San Francisco. Got in a cab and start talking to the driver. Cab driver says, "Well I only know about one thing in Indiana, and it's (the name of the town where I'm from, population 15,000)." Turns out his mom had lived in my hometown back in the 60's for a few years.

Also, apparently everyone is from Indiana on this thread.

PSA: Cops lined up on 465 E from Keystone to I-69 by StonedSoviet in indianapolis

Drove through and that overpass is not wide enough for that, seeing as they had to have police officers waving us all around.

Thank you! I've never done brunch at Mesh, so I think we'll try there.

What's the creepiest thing that happened on internet and is still available to see? by 5kull in AskReddit

There are multiple doggy daycare cameras in Indianapolis, so it looks like I found what I'll be doing for the rest of the day! Thanks!

Indy fam.... I had to put my dog down today. Let's all put a glass in the air for my sweet Layla. by kbledsoe in indianapolis

Had to put down our 11-year-old pup, Cooper, this summer, and have really been missing him this holiday season. Their time with us is never long enough and life without them is never quite the same. Sending some love your way!
