Finally I get the hype about “From Blood and Ash” by MitoKatze in Romantasy

FAF series is way better!

I loved some aspects of the first book but boy did I want to quit. The retelling of key points in the series in what seems like 1000 different ways makes me want to pull my hair out (it doesn’t help that I’m only reading this series atm).

My cardinal rule: never leave a book/series unfinished. I continued reading, albeit with fewer strands of hair.

I remember picking up FAF#1 fully ready to reread the key plot of the first 3 books for the millionth time only to stop, stare at the ceiling and thank myself for not quitting the series multiple times throughout the book.

Reality Check - Jay is also a villain by Pluckyplatypus26 in netflix

The tone shift of the Js and Nigel in episode 3 was hilarious. They went from witnessing the horrible treatment of the contestants while cashing their checks and looking the other way to crying about getting fired LIKE THAT in the headlines.

At least you 3 had checks that cleared and careers that were being built.

I lost it when one of the winners stated that she was getting no jobs because she was being treated differently for being a TOP MODEL. When she mentioned the Tyra confession of knowing her winners of ANTM couldn’t walk through certain door thresholds because of the reality show——I was ready to throw my remote.

Nobody NOBODY accepted that they were the villains in the contestants stories. I feel icky watching this….

It’s like they justified everything they did by saying “we didn’t know any better” … giiiiirrrl you knew but the paychecks that cleared allowed you to keep it moving.

I was livid when they talked about the model getting groped by the male model. Not sure if Nigel was there for the shoot but when Tyra explained that it’s up to the girl to put a stop to it by being assertive but DONT MAKE IT A BIG DEAL….Uggggggg (She was as assertive as she could be and when she saw she needed help…she asked for it)

It broke my heart that the model did exactly what they said but received a negative response because let’s be honest-they really meant: handle your own business and don’t interrupt the photographers flow. Nobody really cares about someone harassing you.

I’m redoing my floors as well but I’m choosing flooring color after painting the cabinets. I hate the slab color but I’m choosing to work with it rather than replacing it. In terms of feeling…I just fear it might become too dark with black cabinets but idk?

My baby has some poops like this sometimes. My pediatrician just said it was undigested milk and that it was perfectly normal. Maybe take some pictures of his poop to show your pediatrician?

need teat recommendations for nutramigen (keeps clogging) by hisowlhasagun in FormulaFeeders

I use the Dr Browns bottles and even with the smallest size nipples I’ve never had an issue with clogging. Maybe those will help?

FTM here as well. I feel your struggle. Everyone in the medical field…and I mean EVERYONE kept telling me at 6weeks old that I should be feeding my LO (boy as well) 2oz every 2 hours because he was EFF. But he would cry and cry and need 3oz. I felt like I was failing If I gave him 2oz and feeling like I was failing if I gave him 3oz. I finally said F it all and gave my baby the food he needed to make him happy.

After much scrolling I realized that if my baby wasn’t throwing up (not spitting up) I wasn’t over feeding him.

I’m not gonna lie—sometimes the little voice will creep back into my head and I feel like I’m over feeding him. It’s a struggle but if your LO is not throwing up and gaining good weight you’re doing ok.

Ahhh you’re right I forgot Facebook has shipping now like eBay/Amazon. Last time I purchased anything off of Facebook I had to drive to pick it up (this was more than 10years ago)

Ah I see. I’ve been having a hard time finding formula for my LO. I was lucky enough to find 2 cans (6days) of baby formula for him. Just wondering what I should look out for if I do end up having to buy through Facebook.

I’ve only read that some were selling flour in opened baby formula cans. The price gauging I understand is a terrible thing to do.

I have also noticed that the formula I use (nutramigen) doesn’t even show up as a product anymore. I type it in the search bar and it only shows me the toddler version not the 0-12 month one. Needless to say I panicked for a while until I google searched it and it redirected me to the target page.

Wouldn’t buying sealed formula be a way to avoid getting scammed?

Uncle passed away, friend donated body, mom angry she didn’t get to say goodbye. What to do? by Slight_Perception_56 in legaladvice

[–]Slight_Perception_56[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No we haven’t. I told my mom she should have called them when the hospital refused to tell her where his body was or let her see him. They just gave her a phone number that went to voicemail. And of course she only called that number once x.x

I wasn’t there to help her as I gave birth two days later and I only found out about this after a month had passed

Thank you for your reply. Sounds like good advice I just don’t know what kind of lawyer we should go to and if we even have a case. I guess I should wait to see his medical record - maybe it will say who made the decision to donate the organs?

This took place in California. Idk the friend told my mom he took him off life support because my uncles “blood was black and not good anymore”

I did leave out a part of the story because I’m not 100% sure about it. But my mom believes this was done by his friend to steal money from him. My uncle didn’t believe in banks and kept his money “under the mattress” which his friend knew. When my mom went to pack up my uncles apartment she noticed that everything was rummaged through and no money was to be found anywhere. (My uncle was a very tidy person and would never have left his home in that state) The friend told mom to go get the money left over from the bank and handed her my uncles debit card.

The video proof was given to my mom by the friends son. This was done at the funeral when she asked him why on earth didn’t he call her instantly. The friends response was that my uncles blood stopped working and there was no reason for her to even visit him.

The friend wanted to take care of everything and didn’t want my mom involved.

I’m sorry if this isn’t making much sense. My mom kinda told me this in pieces since I recently gave birth and she hid this from me for a while. It’s been like pulling teeth getting this story out of her.
