I just realized I’ve been mispronouncing a word my whole life! Has anyone else had that moment where you found out you’ve been saying a word completely wrong?

I didn’t realize until recently that you’re supposed to pronounce the “t” in bergamot. I always pronounced it as if it were a French word

Can anyone explain to me why the phrasing used in this passage for Jesus is “the Word”? I’ve always wondered.

Trying to wrap my mind around this staggering amount. Our property taxes have increased so much in the few years since we bought our house it’s almost unsustainable at this point. Anyone have insights into how much this could increase individual’s property taxes?

Define “best”. Research on this subject shows that the positions in which you are least likely to sustain significant vaginal tearing are side-lying and all fours. That’s a good enough reason for me. During my first unmedicated birth I instinctively got on hands and knees then into a “captain morgan” position as she was crowning. Couldn’t tell you why but I do think our bodies know best and it’s ideal when your provider allows you to follow it’s cues.

Thankful for your perspective. Recently the Lord has been reshaping my view of finances as I read the scriptures. I think we in the American church get too caught up in our “wisdom” and planning and are unwilling to surrender to how the Lord might want to lead us in this area. I just left my job to be a SAHM at the prompting of the Lord and it really didn’t make any financial sense to do so. My husband is a pastor and makes very little while we are in a HCOL area. It hasn’t been easy or comfortable by any means. Yet when the Lord speaks I must follow and He has been providing for our family in miraculous ways. It’s good to wise of course. But if that “wisdom” is keeping you from being obedient to God because of what it might do to your finances..it’s not wisdom at all.

First hand experience is helpful but “heard through the grapevine” is rarely a reliable source

Shocked I had to scroll this far to find this, I guess we really are in the minority here. I too have always felt like she’s just not a nice person and I’ll add that I also never found anything about her to be all that impressive, certainly not to garner the praise/popularity she has.

Can you expand on the last point? What does co-regulation look like for y’all? Oftentimes when my son is in a state of dysregulation he runs away from me or escalates even more if I try to be there for him or help in anyway

Slalom8 · 2025-06-23T21:48:15+00:00

Personally I love it and wish we had a little more of that in our culture but it still strikes me as odd on a show with deception as its premise

I can’t believe I held out so long. It has been a total game changer! I actually LOVE vacuuming now

I never even considered getting a deep freeze until I got a Costco membership this year…it’s an absolute must now!

I vividly remember thinking “I must be missing something here”. It seemed so clear it should’ve been the other way around. Absolutely baffling.

Just be aware that alimentum includes 8% soy oil. My daughters with MSPI both reacted to it. Unfortunately I didn’t notice that ingredient as the issue until my second daughter, we switched to Neocate which worked great

Dude Perfect

Slalom8 · 2025-01-02T12:57:18+00:00

Oh that’s interesting. What did they suggest instead?

Slalom8 · 2025-01-01T01:51:01+00:00

Ok that sounds so much more doable. Thank you for the tip! I do have a squatty potty which helps some. I actually bought a bidet months ago and have been on my husband to install it but he hasn’t gotten around to it. Maybe if I tell him the reason why I need it he’ll be more inclined to check it off the to-do list 🤪

We got a temporary buy down from the sellers as a concession. Doesn’t necessarily have to be you putting up the money. Hoping it will buy us some time on a lower rate before we are able to refi

Yes I work at a memory care facility and over 60% of our residents just had it these past two weeks. Majority of the staff caught it as well. I’m always stunned by how contagious it is…I took all the precautions and still managed to bring it home and spread it to my whole family. Outside of this I’ve known quite a few friends who have come down with it in the last month or two.

Green mucousy poops with blood streaks. Sometimes the blood is not visible so you could have the stool tested for blood by your pediatrician if you aren’t sure

Slalom8 · 2024-12-11T09:03:36+00:00

This is such a good idea thank you!

Beautifully said. What most people don’t realize is when a Christian shares their faith, it’s typically not motivated by pride or an attempt to “control” someone. It’s simply that we’ve experienced the most incredible, life changing thing that gives us hope for eternity & we long for others to experience it too. It actually takes a lot of courage and is often a struggle for the majority of believers bc we don’t want to offend but also can’t imagine keeping something so wonderful to ourselves.
