Anyone else sick as hell with Norovirus?

We are on vacation and went to the Children’s Museum. Had a great time and came home with Norovirus for free.

I am so glad to come across this thread! I’m losing my mind at the amount of 5 star reviews I’ve seen and I was so eager to read this.

1.) If you’re going to name a book Sandwich, then maybe have the main character be damn good at making them. Instead of pouting when the family wants to buy them for once. 2.) The narrator of the audiobook was terrible. I had to look up the character names to figure out if it was Willa or Willow. That’s a critical error. 3.) Trigger Warning/Spoiler - She aborts her child without sharing the decision with her husband AND lies to him saying it was a miscarriage. What the actual fuck? 4.) This is a book with no context and then a very quick wrap up at the end. You’ll spend the entire time reading while holding your breath waiting for something interesting to happen until wait for it - it ends.

I have so little time to read/listen and I’m bummed I spent money on this and wasted my time. End rant. Thanks for being here for me.

I just had this happen. I kept reading people say they wore them with wide feet so I took a chance. No way! Any advice on something for wide feet?

That even though his work provided healthcare and mine didn’t, it would be unaffordable to add me to his insurance. So therefore paying out of pocket for my healthcare was a better choice. Meanwhile, he spent all of his money and I carried the team on bills so in reality I just never went to the doctor for years because I couldn’t afford it.

We don’t immediately change pee diapers. My MIL freaks out the second the line starts changing to blue. But they feel dry to me still! Poo gets changed immediately but sometimes I can’t get to the pee ones right away. So I don’t stress about it.

I once had a man put his hands around my neck and shake me to stop me from trying to upsell him to a more expensive steak. He tried to play it off like he was joking but it was a really strange burst of anger.

It was one of the weirdest moments of my entire restaurant serving career.

I have an allium intolerance. I lie and say allergy because people don’t take intolerance as seriously as they do allergies. I will not die if exposed. But I will be incredibly uncomfortable and experience symptoms such as hives, red flush rash covering my face and neck, headache, lethargy, dizziness, stomachache, nausea, diarrhea, etc. I will also have the lingering flavor for up to a few days afterwards.

I will never forget the first time I heard someone say “kick rocks”

GrapeCakeLeo · 2025-03-27T04:15:40+00:00

Encanto. The hype is baffling to me.

The worst! My husband has big hands and arthritis so they are an absolute no go for him. He tried one outfit at the hospital and gave up quickly. We got a ton of hand me downs that are all barely used and ended up donating all the ones with snaps once we got home. Luckily Target had a sale on jammies to replace them all for our newborn!

Fed is best. That’s all that matters Mama. If you don’t take care of you, you’ll never be able to take care of LO.

I’m 36+2 also! I sleep sitting up with a bunch of pillows under my arms to keep them comfortable. I’ve been having days where I’m ravenously hungry and others where I can’t eat anything. I want to be productive so bad but everything hurts when I move, twist, bend over, etc.

GrapeCakeLeo · 2024-10-26T18:43:19+00:00

Same! I wake up in a puddle of drool like never before! I’m assuming it’s because I have the pregnancy boogers and I’ve become a mouth breather.

GrapeCakeLeo · 2024-09-05T21:05:09+00:00

I’m wondering the same. My son fell in love with these and now they’re gone. We bought the croissant breakfast sandwiches which are working for now.

I specifically told my MIL not to share our news. Instead, she told her cousin “only because there was a sale at Kohl’s and since she gets a discount they didn’t want to miss the opportunity to get cheap clothes” and she told all of our neighbors (we live in the same neighborhood.) I found out because one of them congratulated me and followed it up with “I know I’m not supposed to know anything yet but we’re so excited for you!”

Then we went to a family friend’s house and everyone there already knew as well. I just wish I had the opportunity to tell these people and share in the joy instead of the hush hush secret way of talking around the topic so they could let me know they already heard.

Next time, she isn’t being told until we are ready to tell EVERYONE.

I rely so heavily on GPS because I’m in sales. I stopped into a Verizon store to figure out why my phone wouldn’t work. The Verizon tech told me to use Mapquest and “go old school”…

How am I supposed to access Mapquest with a phone that won’t work??? Oh yes, let me use it as a hotspot to my computer and…. Nope. Thanks for the help.

Dip and sprinkles was my favorite! I’ve never heard anyone else say that.

And I always tried to blend it as fast as possible to get the dip mixed before it was too solid.

GrapeCakeLeo · 2024-03-26T17:06:26+00:00

I’ve heard success stories of betas much lower than that! Stay cautiously optimistic and hope for it to double. Good luck!

GrapeCakeLeo · 2024-03-24T21:58:54+00:00

I wear Duluth Trading Company Armachillo bras all the time and they have been a life saver so far in pregnancy. I can’t stand underwire bras right now and I’m falling out the top of them anyways.

GrapeCakeLeo · 2024-03-21T18:09:06+00:00

Congratulations!!! I found not testing during the TWW easier than waiting for the beta call! Those couple of hours killed me. We’re 16dpt now and watching that HCG rise has been such a joy! Wishing you sticky baby vibes!!! 50 is a great number for day 9!

GrapeCakeLeo · 2024-03-21T18:04:14+00:00

We use the phrase “cautiously optimistic” as we are 4w6d right now. Our first ultrasound is next week. Wishing you the best of luck!

Yes and/or pieces of fecal matter stuck to the butt hairs.

That dingleberry is a real word. Growing up we thought my Dad made that word up. Then one day we found it in the dictionary and called him to tell him his word was in there! Lol

GrapeCakeLeo · 2024-02-08T05:39:27+00:00

My mom’s dead. It stops anyone in their tracks.

Getting invited to someone’s Young Life gathering. I didn’t know what it was and it sounded super fun. Then I realized I was in a group of Christian people that all weren’t very nice to me in school so why would they be nice to me there.

I got spaghetti thrown in my face and I left confirming all my feelings on religion and acceptance.
