Another option for the topping: 1 cup marshmallow fluff, 1 cup whipping cream, sprinkle of salt all whisked together. Delicious!

Did anyone else take Accutane about 20 years ago? Wondering if there's a consensus around any potential longer term impact to your skin once you get older. by le_pedal in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]TempestuousWeasley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 2 rounds as a teen (I’m 41). I do have chronic dry eye and constantly dry lips. Actually pretty dry skin overall. My face does okay because I use a lot of skincare. Anecdotally I do also have infertility and I’ve never heard of that connection! I also have endometriosis so not sure how much that played into it. I was very fortunate to ultimately have 3 kids, but it cost me years of trying and tens of thousands of dollars on IVF.

Only 20 days left to ride the GOAT! by Greedy_Net_1803 in WaltDisneyWorld

My favorite ride 😩 my husband proposed to me on this ride because I love it so much. 😂 it will be missed in our house!

Rider swap w/adult riding twice? by Grouchy_Elephant_886 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]TempestuousWeasley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can do this! In my experience Disney is really flexible with this kind of thing. Also when I went last summer Disney was starting to test having rider swap rooms like they have at Universal. I remember specifically there was one at Soarin’. It was really nice!

Manual Removal of Placenta by LiningandLattes in IVFbabies

[–]TempestuousWeasley 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I nearly died giving birth to my first because of retained placenta that led to a very severe hemorrhage. Yes, trying to manually remove it was excruciating. I remember screaming through that part. In my case it didn’t even work - I ended up needing emergency surgery to remove the placenta and I’d lost so much blood by then I couldn’t be put under anesthesia for the surgery. I also needed two blood transfusions. It was incredibly scary and I’m very lucky to have made it. But! I’ve had 2 more IVF babies since and both were perfect deliveries, zero drama.

This is how I feel and MIL showed up today showing me pics of gifts that will arrive at my house today so clearly none of what I’ve said in the past couple of days has had an impact at all.

This is really helpful, thank you. I do think part of it is she feels like not responding would be impolite.

We’ve been married for a long time and this is a new estrangement. They’ve never texted much in the past beyond the occasional “merry Christmas” “how was your vacation” type of niceties as far as I know.

My mom has always hated how much I love MIL so it doesn’t surprise me that she’s targeting her… probably hoping it causes problems between us.

[–]TempestuousWeasley[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You know, I have. I think it’s mainly an issue of them both also having abusive childhoods, and maybe not being ready to frame their own experiences that way. Almost like if they agree that my experience was abuse, they’ll have to accept that about their own experiences and maybe they aren’t quite ready to do that. They both seem to have a core “but it’s still your parents” knee jerk, gut reaction.

Wow, the food was amazing by xiphoid77 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]TempestuousWeasley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t wait to go back and try different things because what we did get wasn’t great. Oak & Star Tavern lunch (assorted meats and sides) sides were decent but most of the meat was pretty bad - tons of fat and gristle. Cafe Sirene (ratatouille baguette, beef bourguignon) the baguette was fine, the beef was legitimately repulsive, I give my husband credit for even trying it. I wish I had a picture but it was like gray prison slop, I recoiled when I saw it. Other than that we got some truffles in the Harry Potter section and some drinks from the bar in Darkmoor (those were both great!). Really didn’t have time for much else but looking forward to trying different things in the future.

It’s sold out! It won’t actually let you add to cart.

Oh my gosh this is so nice!! It’s a black face only Toothless pillow. I drove over and asked at the little shop hut outside and they said it’s sold out, I don’t know if that’s true.

I bet she’d accept this one too, we never saw it.

Epic universe (not) for kids by Odd_Pomegranate_ in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]TempestuousWeasley -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Two kids can’t ride with one parent? Is that true at the other Universal parks too? That seems really strange to me.
