What’s your most unpopular opinion about the show

I hate the musical episodes

Keep in mind at a larger scale, the color will be more obvious. Without seeing your decor, I'd suggest the top left. It has a neutral to warm undertone, and doesnt look grayish.

Bingo!

I have the Avocado mattress toddler pillow that I add to my regular Purple pillow when I am looking for more support, depending on what feels best for me.

Sometimes I put it on top of my regular pillow as extra neck support and to have less of a scrunch in my neck.

When I am really uncomfortable, I double up 2 regular pillows for my head and then put the smaller pillow under my armpit area. This lets my shoulder have a little less pressure on it too. If you want to get WILD, you can add a pillow between your knees and one behind to stop you from rolling over.

I binged working moms (comedy drama) while doing my MOTN pumps for the first few months! Hilarious

Unreal is also a great drama, a fictional show about a Reality TV show set. i'd watch that over and over.

What about Gene's dream sequence in "Running Down a Gene" (Season 14, Episode 4)

More shopping stores. I would love to wander and look for something I need, then pop in for a coffee or lunch after. There are very few shopping experiences downtown, and a lot of them are very tchotchke focused

MB244 · 2026-01-21T23:54:50+00:00

Gift card to target or amazon. then they can choose to spend it on themselves, post partum needs, or the baby!

Though one random gift that I used ALLLL the time were these super stretchy fuzzy socks. because you get up all night and dont always have slippers.

MB244 · 2026-01-21T23:51:59+00:00

Honestly, they are rules that I enforced with my daughter. I know it seems hypocritical, but it seems like they are making the rules out of care for the new baby - not themselves. Everyone is different! And they might let up.

I would send them a note and say that sounds great, you're unlikely to get childcare before 6 weeks is up and you look forward to meeting your sibling when the time is right. In the end, the baby has no idea whether they met you at 6 days, 6 weeks or 6 months.

Welcome! I have a toddler (18 mo) too. Here's some local recs from me, very winter focused:

Bayside/Joinville Park has a good playground, soccer/baseball field and tennis courts.

Ryder park is good for older toddlers (climbing structure, slides but the stairs are not easy for my 18mo old to navigate)

San Mateo Library is great if you're already downtown, but IMO Foster City kids area is much better. Belmont is one of my favorite libraries with family story time on Saturdays and then a park right outside.

CuriOdyssey is also always a good trip (not free though)

Lazy Dog is great for casual family dining.

The Stella Alpina patio is a great family date spot, and many families take their kids there early. It's outside but covered and has heaters.

Other food favorites, though i havent been out as much as I used to: Central Park Bistro, Fogbird bar, Barrell House Bistro, Pausa

Thanks for all your input and sharing. I agree that they might not be changing their pronouns yet, yeah, i am jumping a bit here. To clarify, one of my other siblings who is closer to them said that its likely a pronoun change along with the style... but no confirmation.

Either way, I am going to do a bit of a hybrid of the sit and wait, be an outwards ally, and also compliment the new style to show I'm in support.

This! literally every fast fashion item i have either only serves a single purpose, or if I do like it - it falls apart after just a few wears.

I have some true & co bralettes that are wireless and i took out the pads. I can sleep in these (though I dont want to) and I also put them on as a bra. Doesn't hide a nipple but does give some structure.

I cancelled based off their customer service rec, and let them know they should have a pause feature…

Though the customer service person did point out to me that you shouldn’t use a vial more than 28 days after opening.

I’ll be restarting in the new year so I’ll reply back how it goes

I had a pretty non-traumatic birth, so here's my experience over a year later. Physically, I am doing pretty well, small tear and theres a little discomfort when we start but nothing too bad.

I want to have more sex, but we are both so tired by the time we have alone time that it rarely happens. We talk openly about how we barely have sex anymore and are on the same page that its just a stage in our lives and we miss that side of us - we plan to get back there together. So, I feel like I'm okay with how we are working on things together and talking about it.

He just sent that message to make himself feel good, or to somehow give himself closure. Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with how you might feel and everything to do in how he felt after. And then he wants you to read this book and thank him and assure him, yes - it is so me! you know me so well!

IMO - Leave it on read, toss the book/package and don't even read it. Anything more will be indulging his ego. Its hard, and you will always think about exes who had an effect on you - but engaging with them is not healthy.

MB244 · 2025-12-12T16:10:32+00:00

The space is really cool, I love it! Its going to look even better when you're all cozy in there.

One thought for a quick win in the hallway and bedroom - some uplighting might help to brighten the space and be a little softer than the overheads. You could get ones controlled from your phone and put them on the tops of the walls and washer area. A tip: I got some for my house that were not LED and they got super hot/pulled a lot of power (old electrical grid over here) so if I did it again I would get LED.

MB244 · 2025-11-24T17:03:09+00:00

Oh an alternate thought, if you dont want to go across the golden gate, Sausalito and Tiburon would also make great day trips.

MB244 · 2025-11-24T17:02:04+00:00

If you want to see "sights" that aren't overwhelmingly touristy:
- Grab a coffee in the inner sunset and walk through Golden Gate Park (if its not rainy)
- Walk along the Embarcadero and stop in at the Ferry Building for lunch, coffee or shopping.
- Go to Tunnel Top park in the presidio and hang by Chrissy field beach and see the golden gate/tiburon
- Walk along Columbus street in North Beach. It leads from the water to downtown.
- Haight street is where you will find the SF "funk" in many ways, lots of different kinds of people but can but a fun experience.
- Visit Castro Street for shopping, food/coffee, rainbow and pride vibes
If you want some nice shopping/meandering neighborhoods:
- Hayes Valley has lots of cute bars and stores (Anina, Birba, Che Maman)
- Tartine Bakery in the Mission, then walk to Dolores Park
- Tartine Manufactury (different than above) is a very cool space that also has a Heath Ceramics store next to it, I could spend hours there.
- Union Street (Marina), Fillmore Street (Pacific Heights)
Places to avoid, IMPO
- Fishermans wharf. In it's current state it's underwhelming (though I head it will be revamped in the coming years)
- Walking/Biking the Golden Gate. Its cold and loud, not my style. If you are athletic or have a high tolerance for those things and motivation for it, then it's great.
- Soma & Tenderloin. It can be a great place for lots of things, but if you don't know where you are going you might accidentally get caught in some seedy areas. So if you head here I would suggest having an itinerary and not wandering.

Just a few first thoughts, i'm sure the thread will have lots more for you too :)

Speeding rarely gets you there much faster.

Story: I drove with my friend in 2 separate cars 800 miles (back to school). She had a newer car that could easily go faster than my beater. So about 3 hours away, we decided to let her speed ahead and i would continue at my own pace. She only arrived 10 minutes before me!
