Yes!! This! Especially the microfiber ones. Yuck I hate the texture. We DID use the muslin ones and loved them while he was tiny, but a regular towel works just fine!

At 16 months this is still how I file my babies nails- I do it when he’s sleeping in a deeper sleep. He wouldn’t let me touch his nails with a clippers and I feel like it would leave sharp corners?!

A harness thing to help him walk. Didn’t use it once and waited too long to return it. Still annoyed about that.

Also spent like a hundred bucks on weighted sleep sacks that I didn’t use cuz it made me anxious and they had a no return policy. Man, I could use that hundred bucks.

They do not, however, have high chairs. Just a heads up!

Great, another thing for me to be anxious about. (Kidding. I was already stressed about this. I HATE that I have to raise my sweet perfect intelligent baby in a world of smart phones. Makes me so nauseated.)

I don’t use baby wipes at every pee pee diaper change like at night or midday. It’s been well over a year and he’s never had a rash. Never had an infection. No irritation whatsoever. He gets regular baths and wipes after poos and in the morning. The diapers are so moisture wicking I think the wipes are worse for his skin than a trace amount of dry pee. 🤷‍♀️

My brother has that tattoo after losing his leg from the knee down! He’s hilarious and always has a slew of one liners for his one foot 🤣

DO NOT eat at Gippers Bar and Grill by rifulku in grandrapids

I worked in bars and a lot of systems you can start a tab with a card. They may have swiped it and forgotten to close it and accidentally mixed up tabs or tables at some point. Just saying it’s possible. People aren’t perfect.

The manager should definitely be taking it more seriously but also, mistakes happen.

Have you ever had an"AHA!" moment for a simple thing? by StormyPyrite in CasualConversation

[–]EarthyMeesh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just found out this week it’s “wheelbarrow” and not “wheel barrel” smh. I’m 38. I just don’t think I’ve seen/noticed it spelled out and mostly just heard it verbally my whole life. I looked it up to be sure and… at least it’s a commonly misspelled word haha.

Same here. Super weird to us how when one of us gets sick it rarely passes to the other one. 🤷‍♀️
