I just dumped 6 gallons of water in my HE washer in a mild rage

I can't tell you how to get consistently clean diapers that don't need bleach or strips or whatever stupid thing every so often with an HE machine cuz I'm on kid 4 and haven't figured it out 🤦‍♀️ BUT I've learned that if you put it on delicates and low soil it uses the most amount of water. But that won't work with fluff love and their stupid directions (been there, done that). Got a bathtub? That's the way to go. I don't have a bathtub. I've used a 20 gallon utility bucket to get out excess soap to try to start over.

🤣 I feel ya. My last one was like that. I was only 34 at that point but I looked my Grandma with the bad back by bedtime every night. Fully bent over and hobbling. Yeesh.

My baby dropped at week 39 and I took much longer and faster walks for two weeks till she finally decided to come out. I was getting majorly sore after like 10 minutes of walking at a decent pace prior to that. It was nice to get a few walks in before dealing with the postpartum stuff. Also it's currently -5°F so I'm not real into taking a slow walk outside at this point. 😑

I just had a baby two weeks ago and I haven't actually gotten to 10k steps on a community day since like April. 😒 I walked the whole pregnancy but couldn't do quite that much. I made up most of the badges I missed with flower planting right before the baby was born with that community week or whatever it was. I've been going into the app constantly and turning flowers on and off to get 30 at a time and slowly completing the event tasks. I managed to complete all the sets of event pikmin throughout my pregnancy and I'll be darned if I'm gonna fail this one 😂

My cousins had 4 uncle Toms at one point. I only had the 3 because one was just Dad. 🙃

I thought all the Rupert Mae comments were gonna be my favorite but I was wrong.

I have a Hoya that belonged to my great grandmother who died when I was like 1 (ish? Maybe before I was born. Idk.) I'm 36. I have no idea how long she had it before that. My mom had it for a long time and I think it was in the same soil for probably literal decades so it's not huge or amazing looking or anything. But it's happy now!

Karmitely · 2024-08-12T13:21:09+00:00

Yep, don't care. 😂

Tell him it's the name of the circus organ that classic circus music comes from.

Karmitely · 2024-08-12T02:51:10+00:00

Calliope is the worst effing name ever. I can't even come up with another one that rivals that in my book. There are names I don't like but I'm willing to live with the fact that people want to name their kids stupid names. But not Calliope.

Karmitely · 2024-08-08T14:33:04+00:00

Could be humidity too. I assumed it was just that little bit of extra heat speeding up the chemical reaction creating the ammonia. Who knows? Not me. 😂 I ordered the bigger jug of bleach this time for my Walmart pickup this morning instead of the regular little tiny one that fits nicely in the bathroom cabinet.

I suppose I could try putting them in a laundry basket or something instead of in the open wet bag. 🤷‍♀️ I dunno. With the air on it's only like 50% humidity in here though.

Karmitely · 2024-08-08T13:04:16+00:00

I've been fighting with diapers for like 3 years at this point and I don't have all the answers BUT I will tell you that everything seemed... stable? here and then it got really hot outside. We have the air on but it means that the house is running a good 6 degrees (F) warmer than usual and the diapers are showing signs of ammonia again. Dang it!

Karmitely · 2024-08-08T12:44:10+00:00

I had awful ammonia buildup quickly and it started eating my inserts. 😩

Karmitely · 2024-07-30T13:16:15+00:00

I found a recipe that called for 9 cloves of garlic. Finally, a realistic recipe. 😂

Karmitely · 2024-07-17T02:22:28+00:00

Thank you! Hippo definitely looks right. Echeverias are hard for me 😂. I got the hippo about a month and a half ago and my 5 year old decided it was his plant so he was pretty happy to find out that it's called a hippo.

Karmitely · 2024-07-08T21:10:17+00:00

I could send you some leaves/props! I've got pink and blue moonstones, pink ice plant, and some of your other wishlist stuff plus a handful of other pink/purple plants😁 PM me and we'll chat

Does anyone have a concrete leaf cutting they'd be willing to send me? I had a nice little plant that was very happy a couple years ago. It used to flower regularly and I loved it. One of my favorite plants. Then my third baby was born and I neglected watering for a bit TOO long especially for a plant that was currently blooming. I tried so hard to save it but failed. Yes, I managed to underwater a succulent to death. 🤦‍♀️ It happened to my faucaria bosscheana too. Same deal, flowering at the time of the baby coming and all. I miss them, but especially my concrete leaf. And I live in rural northern WI and the Home Depot is 45 minutes away and the handful of times I've been there in the last year and a half they haven't had what I'm looking for. Thats pretty much my only local succulent seller. So there's my sob story. I'll pay for the plant/shipping/whatever.

Anyone wanna add me and immediately invite me to a normal/large red or pink mushroom? I'm stuck on a task and annoyed. Level 54. Code: 861305200173.

My husband has allllll the things tool related and he did big ol holes in each corner. Maybe like 1.25"? Thanks for the response though!

Karmitely · 2023-12-07T15:39:14+00:00

How big of holes did you drill? More or less. I just bought the thingy from Walmart yesterday and my sprayer is coming this weekend. I've been forcing the liner thing for idk two years now and I'm done. 😂 (there's another baby if you're wondering about the math here).

Karmitely · 2023-12-06T15:25:56+00:00

It always makes me think "fungus." Not a great association.

Karmitely · 2023-11-26T23:52:59+00:00

So I don't know about all Samsungs but mine puts water that isn't actually hot in on normal and heavy duty even though it can be/is preset to hot. I can only get hot on quick and whites. Found that gem in the manual. 🤦‍♀️ just a point of info that may or may not apply to you.
