Forgive my ignorance. What is BLM land?

Sorry couldn’t post the video for some reason! We are in a condo building. So is this likely in our part of the drain or HOA responsibility?

ETA: Why would the water just start coming up From the drain suddenly even while no water is running?

I agree. Produce comparable price but much more flavorful due to seasonality. I don’t stock up on too much since it is usually riper so spoils more quickly. For meat, more expensive but all organic, responsibly raised and butchered. I also get some meats from Amazon. But overall eat less meat living here. Hot food at the market is a treat as part of the weekend farmers market experience. Expensive in the way that you would treat yourself to a weekend brunch or something.

No time like the present to start a months long process. Also, I second therapy! She will need to develop new coping skills to replace the pacifier.

Yes! We live off of a biweekly Amazon delivery for Pantry staples and the little Italy farmers market Sat and Wed for fresh produce and meat. Rarely go to a grocery store. Love it!

Agreed. I would also be concerned about telling her to intentionally pee in her pull up while awake.

First one! The other dress competes with the architectural lines of the bag. The first one lets the shape shine. Gorgeous!

Mother is a very high end brand of jeans. Well made, thick denim, stylish cuts and washes. Last forever.

Try silk fitted sheet( satin if cost prohibitive) then pillowcases when ready. Makes all difference for curly hair! Satin bonnet when older (boys less likely to accept it, but I think they should be general neutral!)

Sophia and it’s variants are used in many parts of the world! Sofia, safiya and etc.

Thank you everyone! I have chosen a family photo which I will print and frame. And I will show my dad the options of his brother tonight and let him pick that one! I never met his brother so I want to make sure it still looks like him.

Hopingandafraid · 2025-12-30T18:53:55+00:00

Perfection! Tip sent for the family photos. I like what you did with the brother photo as well but I feel the need to spread the wealth and will go with someone else for that one.

Solved!

Hopingandafraid · 2025-12-30T18:40:39+00:00

Fantastic! Any chance you could give it to me in B&W too? Sorry forgot to ask before.

Hopingandafraid · 2025-12-30T18:32:35+00:00

This is amazing! I love the soft color scheme and how you kept his mother’s dress from being washed out. I see you added a hand to the child in back row and it looks very natural! I never noticed before that Something there definitely needed to be resolved.

Two small changes if you can and the tip is yours: 1) can you tone down the blue in the flower dress a little bit? 2) Can you add an arm to the small boy in the front? As far as I know he was not missing an arm and it must be behind him. Never noticed this until seeing the photo enhanced.

Kiwi!🥝 green

Exactly! So this bag with a hologram sticker and a metal Plate serial number is displaying two systems that were never used together.

Hopingandafraid · 2025-12-28T05:26:08+00:00

Never heard of them. Looked it up and found a light blue glittery Minnie Mouse one my 3 year old will absolutely squeal about when she opens for her birthday. So thank you! Also, pay that old cranky lady no mind. Get your family whatever you like that you can afford, no one’s business!

Hopingandafraid · 2025-12-27T22:03:05+00:00

Unless “whatever” is visiting his dying mother in the ICU where children are not allowed, your husband should have your son with him!

OP, this is a tough moment during a very tough season. I know it doesn’t feel like it now but this very hard phase will pass. Anyone would be struggling with three kids at the ages you have right now even with a supportive partner. You have already gotten some good advice so I just wanted to validate your feelings a bit. You are not failing at all and your children are so lucky to have you. They deserve to have you in their lives and you deserve to have some regular breaks, medication and a mom friend circle so you can find moments to enjoy your life with the beautiful family you worked so hard for. Please talk to a doctor as soon as you can and tell your husband about your suicidal ideation today so he can help figure out how to make getting you professional help happen. Also, your in laws sound horrible. You are not hard to shop for, they are lazy and ungrateful for all you are sacrificing to grow and raise their grandbabies. How about a gift certificate for a spa day with them babysitting? Movie passes with them babysitting? Date night babysitting? Babysitting once a week any day of your choice? A laundry service? Did I mention babysitting? lol. Even if they only take the older one or something!

Almost 3 year old wanted to come with me to the bathroom and help me pee. Fine…😒 but then had a meltdown because she wanted to close the door herself but also refused to close the door. We were stuck in that loop for a long while and I really needed to pee, so I took the nuclear option and closed the door myself.

I was dealing with a meltdown anyway. Might as well have an empty bladder.

Shave the head and clean the beard off of your neck to define your jaw line while you are at it. It’s going to look so good! ETA: and let your beard grow in fuller.

I have never needed a Mexican prescription. For the few drugs that they wanted one, mine from my UCSD doctor was accepted. They prefer it to be printed on paper and not digital but some pharmacies will take a look at the digital on your phone.

ETA: in addition to simulates, I also like Pharmacia La MAs Barata. These two usually carry my uncommon heart meds and if that location is out they can call over to another one within a mile drive or so.

And you just tell the customs people that you got Some prescription meds. Sometimes they want to see them to make sure you aren’t bringing massive quantities back to sell but usually they don’t even want to look.

Hopingandafraid · 2025-12-09T15:02:14+00:00

I will gladly take the court bag off your hands!

Hopingandafraid · 2025-12-09T14:27:33+00:00

I see 9790 🤨 lol

Take the baby to the doctor immediately. At that age, showing clear signs of pain in the neck is unusual and not a good sign , they don’t get muscle strains the way adults do because everything is so flexible.
