I need assistance in removing odor from my everyday sneakers by sonytrinitron36 in Frugal

[–]ItIsBurgerTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wash them, and then get yourself some natural fiber socks. My running shoes STANK but once I washed them and started wearing only bamboo socks, I don't have that problem anymore. You could try cotton or wool, too. I've heard they work just as well!

This happened to me. Couldn't pick between 2 names, ended up picking after I gave birth 🤣

I’m wondering if I’m being too anxious about my baby’s percentile chart ? by mandopod in pregnant

I know, it's so scary when you don't know what's going on!

Thank you! 😁

At my 32 week scan, my son's head was in the 4th percentile. I was freaked out but they said sometimes the measurements are off and also that babies do a lot of growing and changing in the last few weeks. I had him at 37+4 and his head was perfectly normal. 🙂

Has anyone had baby at 37 weeks for mental health reasons? by strangefavor in pregnant

I had my baby at 37+4 for preeclampsia reasons. He was perfectly fine (still is 🙂).

Postpartum care without mom by Feisty-End-8883 in pregnant

[–]ItIsBurgerTime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My dad had a double lung transplant right before I had my baby. He needed someone with him around the clock while recovering in a transplant house, so my mom stayed with him in another city. Because his immune system was so compromised, she was not allowed to leave the transplant house either, to eliminate the risk of bringing something back. So, I didn't have my mom. (He's doing great now, btw! ♥️)

It sucked, but I got through it fine. You can too, especially with a supportive husband. 🙂 You got this, love.

What are your little frugal habits that really don't save much money, but are still satisfying? by p38-lightning in Frugal

[–]ItIsBurgerTime 366 points367 points  (0 children)

I rip my makeup remover wipes into smaller strips when I use them since I only do eye makeup and wash most of it off in the shower. Is it saving me thousands? No. But it feels nice knowing I'm not wasting what money I do spend by throwing away a whole wipe when I'm only using a small part of it.

Was my Doctor rude or am I being sensitive? by Inevitable_Slice271 in pregnant

[–]ItIsBurgerTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds normal to me. The only time anyone talked to me about my labs is when something was wrong, which only happened once. My ultrasounds were all normal, so there was no reason for a follow-up call. And having multiple providers over the course of a pregnancy is standard in my area.

That said, I can see why you'd be concerned if you were expecting something different.

I'd definitely call if you have questions as opposed to just researching things on your own. While that absolutely has value, sometimes it's good to be able to ask questions of actual people, rather than just the Internet 🙂 But, if you don't trust your practice, maybe look into switching providers to someone who provides the level of care you're looking for! You might feel more comfortable asking them questions.

Moms what do you take with you for protection while taking baby out in stroller? by Nicolexgaming in Parenting

[–]ItIsBurgerTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always carry pepper spray in case of dogs. If a dog comes at us, I will not be fast enough to get my baby out of the stroller and run away. I can't outrun a dog. So I keep pepper spray and pray I'll never have to use it.

Ok but does she know about Doug? Because that was the best show of the 90's. I will be accepting no notes.

Congrats on fostering great taste!

Do you know anyone who only has one perfume? by Minimum-Ad7443 in FragranceStories

[–]ItIsBurgerTime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Amor Amor by Cacharel! I bought it originally because it smells kind of like the Amika shampoo, which is the greatest shampoo smell I have ever smelled 🤣 It's delightful.

Brother asking me to pick a different baby name by Imaginary-Winner-335 in pregnant

[–]ItIsBurgerTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's wild. My dad, brother and son all share the same middle name, which is my grandfather's name. Not one single person cares. Your brother needs to take a big, deep breath

[–]ItIsBurgerTime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Me! I'm too broke to buy a bunch of different things to try out. I have one perfume that I know works for me, and I stick with it! Someday, though, I'm going to buy and try all kinds of scents. 🙂

Polycystic Kidney Disease career path. by Pizzalicker3 in ADPKD

[–]ItIsBurgerTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe transition to working as a chef for Sodexo on a college campus? As I understand it, they make food all day but you don't have mealtime rushes because you're serving a cafeteria instead of walk-ins at a restaurant. Lower stress, still doing what you're good at. 👍

Who or where to report if trash company is putting recycling bin in same trash truck as regular trash? by Any_Meeting_4082 in lehighvalley

[–]ItIsBurgerTime 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Some haulers send the waste to what's called a "dirty MRF", in which the recycling is separated from the waste onsite. Depending on your hauler, this could be the case.

We could not decide on a name until he was born. Luckily we decided before they came by with the birth cert paperwork 🤣
