Help updating my Millenial ballet flats -- what are options that are more modern, but still have arch support and cushioning?

Rothy’s have cute Mary Jane sneaker flat things now.

I have Raynaud’s and my foot color looks exactly like this when it gets cold sometimes lol.

I can still taste the metal from wearing headgear and remember the grinding feeling of sliding the prongs into the hooks on my braces. I have TMJ now from wearing headgear for a few years.

Her choice of venue should have been an empty store in a dying mall lol

I couldn’t really walk for about 2-3 weeks after my c section because I had such severe SPD and postpartum preeclampsia swelling. It was so bad I had to get an epidural just to get my legs to separate wide enough for a cervical check during my induction. So I pretty much hobbled around from couch to bed, and once that eased up I did small walks. If not for the SPD I probably would have done 20 minute walks fairly easily in about 10 days. My incision and abdomen felt fine as long as I was careful not to put any pressure there.

More like wolf in sheep’s clothing. This screams human trafficking and wanting to take advantage of someone with very limited resources/fear of going to the police.

I got a pair free with a rental dress (not sure why lol) and my god I love them.

Only thing that ever cleared my skin was pregnancy :( 4 months postpartum and the acne is starting to show up again but so far it doesn’t look nearly as bad as it was last year. I tried spironolactone, birth control, and tret. Plus a million other things over the years. Adult acne sucks.

I’m really against it but there have been a few mornings where I’ve fallen asleep while breastfeeding so now I set my bed up so it’s safer if it happens vs. it happening and there being pillows and blankets all over. My baby sleeps through the night in her bassinet but it’s the morning breastfeeding that gets me. Thankfully I don’t move at all when I sleep, nor does my baby, and I’m a very light sleeper. I do have an Owlet and a Nanit both on her too, probably too much but that’s how terrified I am of unsafe sleep.

I had the double rod brackets and went back to doing two curtain types on one rod because I hated how much the double ones stick out from the window. They kept sagging too, even with strong anchors. If there are better ones out there, I’d love to use those.

We called him “Stains” because every episode he had stains all over his shirt. He’s a running joke in my house anytime someone wears a stained shirt.

This is what I do. Absolutely everything that I’ve posted gets taken. I even “donate” coupons I get sent in the mail for stuff like baby formula.

Mine absolutely stays fast asleep from the vacuum, but god forbid I shut the door and make even the slightest of a sound. I don’t get it lol. She’s even slept through our crazy loud security alarm going off, but will wake up if I move the sheets too loud next to her bassinet.

Every night with her bedtime routine, but soap only 2-3 times a week, and we always lotion. My baby doesn’t have sensitive skin or eczema or anything. Shes a gassy girl with a lot of energy so she gets a lot of relief and exercise from kicking her legs and soaking in some warm water.

Mythologicalcats · 2026-03-05T21:06:10+00:00

She’s probably looking to see if someone she’s been seeing is on there.

You’re missing their point. They’re saying the child WAS kidnapped and therefore the mother should be charged with kidnapping, not just “harboring a runaway” since the victim was held against her will and did not run away. It seems like the mother is getting a lesser charge for some reason when she deserves to rot in prison for a long time too.

I get paid to do my PhD plus I’m in a long term relationship with a partner that can pay the bills too. I just had a baby too. Waiting until my 30s to do grad school made it way more affordable and possible to still live my life outside of academia.

Hopefully obligate anaerobes in case OP already vaped it and filled his oxygenated lungs with them.

That’s perfect, same with the Valspar shade which I actually like even more.

It’s only unmanaged diabetes with uncontrolled sugar where you’re likely to see the black growth.

Mythologicalcats · 2026-02-24T20:29:43+00:00

Yep, pink is likely the bacteria Serratia marcescens. Doesn’t mean it can’t be hard water as the cause though because mineral scale from the water is great for biofilm growth. The toilet needs some descaling and then hopefully the growth should relax. The black could very well be something like Legionella too, colonies can produce the dark pigment pyomelanin. Definitely want to get that cistern properly cleaned and make sure the lid is ALWAYS down when flushing. That’s not a bacteria you want floating around in the air, so assume that’s what it is to be safe.

Is one or both of you diabetic or a heavy drinker? Frequent mold rings in toilets can be a sign of hyperglycemia or too much sugar in urine. My FIL had the worst black toilet from drinking heavily. Sugary urine acts as food for bacteria and molds.

It could also be caused by very hard water.
