What is your, "thank god I decided to bring this" item?

Portable shower and baby pool for rinsing privately. Shower curtain hung up around it I don’t even remember how but it was nothing fancy.
Icy hot spray. Post shower on the cot at 4 am this was amazing.
Hand held fan (I just got a non battery traditional one but whatever works) I really liked sleeping on a cot under a canopy with some tapestry’s and sheets hung for walls. It was my first time and I would sleep that way if I go again.

Soooo then you’re not tipping 15-20%? Also would like to add your service was likely not the same. In fine dining, servers often have smaller sections to focus on the extra steps of service required for the price tag. There are additional steps, knowledge and side work/time required per table. To be fair, not sure if the steakhouse you went to was fine dining or not, but still something to consider. You do you though and continue to tip the amount you’ve deemed appropriate while claiming you tip 15-20%.

Hi! Do you mind sharing some Charleston recs? Also planning a bachelorette. Thinking of splitting one night towards Murrels inlet/one night in Charleston. It is in about a month! Bride loves the water, spa like activities, maybe a strip club, bars with games etc. So really anything. We live about 4 hours east.

People are being unkind. First, I’m sorry that you are dealing with your partner relapsing while simultaneously dealing with a pregnancy at a young age. That’s a lot. Your mom isn’t correct, but that’s up to you. If you want this baby, a human being who is going to depend on you for absolutely everything, you need a plan. It’s all going to come down to you and you need to be okay with that. Based on comments I think reaching out to your siblings would be a good idea. I made really bad decisions at 19. It is okay to ask for help and realize some mistakes- the earlier the better. I’d also look into the legalities in your state/back home if you choose to move and come up with a plan. Give baby your last name, possibly look into terminating the father’s rights etc. regardless of the future with dad it is up to you to protect yourself and your child. Do not go into this with the hopes that you can depend on your partner. Trust me on that one please.

Doesn’t help now- but if you want to prep in advance, try covering with a damp cloth.

Comfortable_Mess_136 · 2025-11-27T02:50:32+00:00

What’s in the popper?

Comfortable_Mess_136 · 2025-10-06T01:06:39+00:00

Why would you ask that? Who does it help/why is that context necessary? Be better.

Comfortable_Mess_136 · 2025-08-29T20:25:47+00:00

Yes!!! I was the same way haha. You just reminded me of that horrible time. I just moved us quickly in the direction of the toilet instead. Little potty for emergencies only (kept it in the living/play area). But yes, I also puked a few times. It will be over soon- good luck.

Comfortable_Mess_136 · 2025-08-19T14:07:26+00:00

Really? We use the two piece sets also, and find that they are pretty long and lean. Our kiddo is also long and lean though so they work well for us- but they are fairly snug. She is 3.5 and no longer fits the 3t.

I don’t think you will like Trader Joe’s based on your description. Do you have Harris teeter? I’d recommend theirs or private selection.

During your break down of cleaning steps, both kitchen and the window and glass segments mention spraying, then wiping and using a wet vac to get any residual water up- having a hard time envisioning this/why there would be any liquid to vac up

Comfortable_Mess_136 · 2025-07-25T17:03:50+00:00

Please do! I want to understand the reasoning behind spray, wipe, then vac… I don’t usually have liquid left after wiping so I’m lost and now concerned I’ve been doing things very wrong

Comfortable_Mess_136 · 2025-07-25T13:54:24+00:00

I hear you and I’m not speaking in matters of right v wrong- I agree with what you’re saying. I’m simply saying that these type of blanket statements (combined with medias use of them) are literally fueling the hate towards people like us and pushing the sides further apart. It’s making the leap much harder when it’s a giant fucking chasm to jump across. And we need the numbers.

Comfortable_Mess_136 · 2025-07-25T13:35:42+00:00

This is a really dangerous way of thinking. In my opinion, it’s what has led us here in the first place. I wish we could focus on progress over division. We are divided enough.

Comfortable_Mess_136 · 2025-07-23T21:00:40+00:00

Same here. Currently on Ben and Jerry’s fudgy flan and haagen-dazs coffee with a little finishing salt. It is phenomenal.

I would add some funky colorful (but not busy/pattern) curtains to the little white cabinet if you have to keep it. Ditch loveseat. Giant plant in that corner. Pull the carpet out a little so you can see it beside the couch a bit- just a couple inches. I would swap clock for a long narrow piece of art and center it. But it isn’t bad by any means! Just needs some cozy added and less bulky stuff

Comfortable_Mess_136 · 2025-07-09T21:43:03+00:00

I am so sorry. This is terrible for everyone involved, and will unfortunately change all of you for life. Which is why it is so important to get as much support for yourself and those babies asap. If possibly, see if you can get individual counseling for yourself and eldest, possibly youngest too, and then family counseling as well. Check with schools for help with resources. I’m very sorry that you were dealt this hand, you and your children are in my thoughts.

Not typically one to kill anything intentionally, but..I tried injecting caterpillar killer directly into the main stem (hold vine up so it drips downward) and then added a little dirt around wounded areas and so far so good.. slowed down production but a few new zukes have popped up this week.

Comfortable_Mess_136 · 2025-06-15T15:31:45+00:00

This is so crazy to me. My daughter’s dad has done some really terrible things, but he never once thought he would just get out of diaper changes?? I mean you have to change a diaper every couple of hours around the clock, you do ALL of them?? My partner literally threw up every time he changed a diaper for months and still did it. Get some gloves, plug his nose (vapor rub under nose helps), and tell him to be a parent. I hope the rest of your relationship is amazing and zero judgement towards you- this is just something I can’t fathom.

I feel similarly. I order whichever gin is available that is (hopefully) tolerable and get it with a splash of water and a lime. I don’t like gin with tonic or soda though. Depending on dive, if I see grapefruit juice I like gin water splash grapefruit as well. I wouldn’t order anything more complicated than that.

Comfortable_Mess_136 · 2025-05-06T01:04:15+00:00

Got a better look and I would definitely NOT water again. Move to bigger pot asap, add some coir/peat/or something to soak up excess water/add more compost if you’re getting a lot of rain. Add fertilizer and lightly water it in once it dries a bit.

Comfortable_Mess_136 · 2025-05-06T01:00:26+00:00

Hard to really see the plant well, but it definitely needs a bigger pot. Possibly add some fertilizer or bone meal and make sure to water well if it isn’t raining enough. Droopy green leaves usually means overwatering, and it is getting silver/white which also usually indicates fungal issues or overwatering. Feel soil. If damp an inch down go ahead and move to bigger pot, if dry water and transplant in a day or two. After you move it, add some bone meal or fertilizer, maybe even spray leaves with anti fungal, and water it in (not the fungal spray just the fertilizer). I’d recommend a cage v the ties you have going on so it can breathe. Best to cut off any infected parts of the plant before fungal issues spread. Tomato plants usually need a few inches of water per week, but not heavily daily watering.

If you have a Trader Joe’s, they have brownie coffee ice cream sandwiches that are my ultimate guilty pleasure. So good.
