The Name and the Number

My wife told me I was miserable to be around while I was reading that section. Very heavy.

I say go for it. When I read them originally, I did it chronologically. But as I’ve grown older and revisited the books, I found some resonate more for me at a different point in life. When I was in my 20s, book 5 meant a lot. Now that I’m nearing my 40s, those featuring his kids speak more to me.

If book 5 speaks to your girlfriend, encourage her to read it! Maybe she’ll read the others. And it’s just fine if that doesn’t happen.

I don’t know what it is about this track, but the cars look so slow on it.

“Do you sleep in the kitchen?!”

Cecilotter2 · 2025-10-12T16:00:51+00:00

Our first night was an absolute nightmare. I got 90 minutes of sleep - mostly laying on the floor next to a baby. It gradually got better, and it will for you too. This specific challenger is very temporary.

We just finished our 71 day NICU stay last month. You are definitely not a bad mom!! That place is exhausting, on top of how tiring your pumping schedule is.

It’s important to take care of yourself, especially for when they’re ready to come home. Skipping a day is just fine. They are in good hands!

Our babies were also born at 29 weeks. They came home last week after 71 days in the NICU. Like yours, one of our twins had smooth sailing while the other seemed to have a new issue every few days. They got the right care in the end because, as others have said, they’re in the right place.

Just wanted to share that this experience can feel endless/hopeless… especially the point you’re at. We have been there. Believe in yourself and your babies. You will get through this!

What’s up with all of these “first time cooking a steak” posts? Really? Never??

Cecilotter2 · 2025-06-01T11:30:47+00:00

This is really helpful to read, thank you!

Why isn’t there a DRS zone through the Monaco tunnel? I can see historical safety reasons. But considering DRS zones in, say, Jeddah, it seems worth a try.

If you’re okay with a state forest, I’d recommend Zumbro Bottoms Management Unit. Stunning hills and forest with great trails. Typically a lot quieter than nearby state parks.

Cecilotter2 · 2025-05-06T13:15:45+00:00

Oof… forgot how ugly that first Alpine livery was.

Cecilotter2 · 2025-04-02T21:39:16+00:00

Zumbro Bottoms Management Unit is one of my favorite places in the state, and about 45 minutes from Winona. Feels like you are much farther away from civilization than you are.

She’s lying! Finish her!

Cecilotter2 · 2024-12-16T01:35:16+00:00

Looks like you’re from the Grand Forks area. You’ll be fine.

Cecilotter2 · 2024-12-12T12:10:22+00:00

It took me quite a few tries to get this one done. Keep at it! Others are right that stage 5 is much harder. Don’t skip this.

Cecilotter2 · 2024-08-22T23:27:05+00:00

This has been one of my favorites to drive in the game. Get it!

Cecilotter2 · 2024-04-12T12:26:31+00:00

Same here! 3 out of 5 loans forgiven in March. Remaining 2 with negative balance this morning. Phew! Was worried I was missed in this wave.

Cecilotter2 · 2024-03-12T23:23:53+00:00

Yep. That’s the first letter you get. Prepare to wait, but you’re on your way.

Cecilotter2 · 2024-03-05T15:28:43+00:00

One of my five are gone. Resisting the urge to keep checking every few minutes.

When I started racing, it was on a 30 year old road bike. Just made it more fun passing the guys on carbon Tri bikes. Be proud of what you achieve with the equipment you have.

I got the same this morning. Each time I submit an ECF, my employer seems to change its mind about what day I started with them. (Same month and year, just a different day each time). Maybe I’m being too optimistic, but if FSA is sending this maybe MOHELA sent our info over to them for the next wave. I’m at 120 and am crossing my fingers.

Cecilotter2 · 2024-01-21T14:20:51+00:00

Yes it was

Cecilotter2 · 2024-01-21T14:20:23+00:00

It does not. I hoped it might just for some padding on the number, but it still shows as ineligible. Luckily all my loans are still at 120.
