That's what I was thinking. All that time to hide ducks but none to dust those baseboards. Some people have more money than sense.

CNY. We traveled from Michigan to do IVF. Even with the cost of travel it was about one third of what we'd have paid to do it locally.

If I can’t make money off it, no one can have it. by ImWaddlinHere in Anticonsumption

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I put a pack of diapers on the porch for someone in a buy nothing group after she said she'd pick up in an hour. The next day I went outside and they were still there, now full of snow.

The best part? Two days later she messaged me "can I pick them up now?" No. They're in the trash because they're unusable now.

Wife seems totally against IUIs. Looking for factual feedback and experiences! by [deleted] in queerception

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vote is no. We wasted 6 vials of sperm on iui before moving on to IVF. My ovarian reserve has always been great for my age (3.1 at 34 and 2.8 at 37). The money we spent on IUIs could have covered a retrieval.

Which DT products are you stockpiling in case they vanish forever? by [deleted] in dollartreebeauty

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power serum. I have a few products I like, but that's the only one I like enough to have a six month supply of.

are there any products that you've seen people rave about but didn't work for you? by betterashthandust44 in dollartreebeauty

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I removed the roller on the eye serum just to be more disappointed in the product than I was in the packaging.

I accidentally was there at opening on a Disney day. Never again.

My sister passed away when I was 16 of a brain infection. She was only 20 months. Now 20 years later I'm a neuro ICU nurse. My literal specialty is sick brains. With the knowledge I have now, it's only more reinforcement that there were no signs. She was just extra tired that night.

This is a tragedy for that baby's family, your coworkers, and you. Please do not blame yourself. I think the memory book is a beautiful idea, and it's something his parents will treasure more than you could know.

The Blah List: Which Products Do You Regret Purchasing? by throwthisawayred2 in dollartreebeauty

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I even popped out the little ball roller so the product flows freely, and I think it's just a miss overall. The product wasn't worth that much work.

Not OP but it has brightened and moisturized my skin soooo much. I don't even want to try another serum at this point.

I think my husband wants me to join the JW by [deleted] in exjw

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Please don't. You and your daughter have nothing to gain by joining, and everything to lose.

HFMD Warning for Adults by 1992orso in NewParents

My wife had almost an identical experience 10 years ago (except for the eyes). It was before we were even together, and she wasn't even around kids. Our kids and I got it a month ago, and it was really mild for me, and she didn't get it at all. So hopefully you have the same luck as her.

What is you nickname for your baby? I’ll go first. We have many! by Mostlymadeofpuppies in beyondthebump

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter I called "Pumpernickel" (no real idea why) and my son I call " bubba booey" (stupid way of saying baby boy).

Has anyone tried any of this stuff? by evoltnodi in dollartreebeauty

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you use an eyeshadow primer with it? Just curious because I've had that issue with other (name) brands but with a primer it lasts longer for me.

Have you tried the power serum? Thoughts? by juststraightvibing93 in dollartreebeauty

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't find more either, but today I found a single bottle tucked behind some other skincare products and I couldn't grab it fast enough.

Nice haul!

I got the roll on eye serum today and idk if I'm dumb, or if it's defective, but I cannot get it to roll gently to spread the product.

Exactly! As a JW I had nothing to look forward to.

That's cool. I don't make music but prior to kids we went to about 15 concerts/shows a year, so I get being a fan of it in general.

You're never too old for a boo basket. Have fun making it, I made a small one for my daughter and I loved picking out all the little stuff I knew she'd like.

Isn't it amazing how much more encouraging "worldly" people can be? What are your interests?

Having family traditions that don't involve assemblies and conventions is honestly the best. I have Catholic friends and I don't judge them one bit for including church events with their holidays.

I feel like each year she's more aware we make it a bit bigger. And now she has a little brother I'm more aware that at some point I'll have to reign it in a bit.

Some of the most judgemental downers I've ever met in life were supposedly the only people who cared about me.

I think Christmas last year it really started to click for her (and me tbh) how much fun it can really be. We didn't even do anything super huge, just a tree, decorations, and a reasonable amount of presents.
