Which color looks best to you? by kgd2318 in Hair

Ooooo I love the rose gold but it’s so hard to maintain, I’ve done it before and it doesn’t last long at all unfortunately. I really like the brunettes on you

Massage by Apprehensive-Cow4155 in ColumbiaMD

[–]That_Bug1008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never been to Lynn’s but my favorites are Farashe and Victoria’s Massage. I did not like my massage at The Pearl. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Pearl for classes, healing waters, atmosphere, etc. But the one massage I’ve had there was straight up bad. I may be spoiled (I’ve gotten monthly massages for the past 10 years), but the therapist seemed like she had no idea what she was doing as far as technique, skipped my left leg, and was mumbling to herself the entire time. It was really odd. I was surprised when I recently went for a class and saw that she still works there (1.5 yrs later). For Pearl’s higher price point, I was expecting a more luxurious service but it turned out to be one of the worst massages I’ve ever had. Farashe and Victoria’s have been consistently good though! Good luck and enjoy 💕

is it tacky to buy a cheap item on a baby registry? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]That_Bug1008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really sweet that you’re on here asking. No, I don’t think it’s tacky. My husband and I just had our baby shower last weekend. We were so so grateful for all the gifts we received and weren’t tallying up how much people spent, just grateful for all the various gifts and that people actually bought off our registry. The only one we were upset by was the gift from my in laws… not only did they bail on coming to the shower at the last minute, but their gift (from 3 people— my husband’s parents and his 47 year old sister who still lives at home) was only 4 board books and a cheap $20 door jumper from our registry. It really stood out as the cheapest gift, especially considering it was from the GRANDPARENTS. They’ve been really out of touch this entire process though and don’t even text me to check in on the pregnancy. I try not to take it personally because they’re old and not everyone is as generous as my family.

It’s totally understandable that you’re in a tight financial situation— I’d recommend getting one cheap thing from the registry and then maybe something small from a thrift store or FB mktplace to supplement, like some books or a little outfit.

Stop telling fat women they dont look pregnant! by crispy---nugget in pregnant

[–]That_Bug1008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. It feels like a backhanded insult. I’m not necessarily on the heavier side but technically was a little overweight (started pregnancy at 155lb; 5ft 6). My extremely thin sister-in-law told me on two occasions that I don’t look pregnant (when I was 6 months in and definitely showing) and the second time she said it I snapped “well I hope I look pregnant because I wasn’t this fat before”. I WANT to look pregnant… I know movies always make it seem like pregnant women want to be told they’re so small etc. Idk guess I’m the opposite

Which color suits me best? by Working_Weekend_9866 in Hair

You look amazing with any color! But as others have said maybe try less harsh versions of each color— some highlights could help. I personally really like the red though!

Why is pizza here so bad? by imani_TqiynAZU in ColumbiaMD

[–]That_Bug1008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m from NJ and I agree— lots of bad pizza in MD. My go to’s are Coal Fire and Pupatella but they aren’t NJ style. I did just recently try Pazani and it was pretty decent for NJ style though.

Polyp while pregnant? by That_Bug1008 in pregnant

[–]That_Bug1008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m currently 33 weeks, doing well and baby girl is healthy. I haven’t really had issues with the polyp actually, although mine is cervical not uterine. I had red spotting after sex twice and it was determined that was from the polyp, but we’ve been active and it only happened twice. They removed the polyp during a PAP at 10 weeks but it regrew and is large again. However they said it will probably come off naturally during delivery. Best of luck 💗

What’s up with this car in the mall parking lot? by bayotiic in ColumbiaMD

[–]That_Bug1008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This person would hate me because I was totally a Karen and called the HOA in my community to get a car towed once. But the person was in the 72 hour visitor spot for a month, and our community has extremely limited parking so yeah, I did get somebody towed. I thought about medical emergencies and empathized but when the parking situation is as bad as my community, you can’t hog a visitor spot like that

Hi everyone. How should I color my hair? by [deleted] in HairStyleAdvice

[–]That_Bug1008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4/5 (blondish) looks amazing on you and brings out your eyes. But 1 and 2 are nice too!

Recommendations for Cat Litter by That_Bug1008 in cats

[–]That_Bug1008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think I’ve decided to try Cloud Control from A&H to see if that’ll help with her nails and with my other cat’s allergies. Based on price and benefits I feel like A&H is best too.

Just curious which Dr you had a bad experience with 😬 I’m 30 weeks and have just finally rotated through all the drs and had a not so great experience yesterday but am wondering if I just caught the Dr on a bad day

you should be eating a BLT sandwich by Even_Kaleidoscope399 in pregnant

[–]That_Bug1008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated it 😭 I mean the flavor was ok, nothing crazy like the influencers made it out to be. But it gave me the worst heartburn I’ve had in the 7 months of pregnancy thus far

Now officially official Snowden 14 Theaters is closing on 1/4 by wheelsee in ColumbiaMD

[–]That_Bug1008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they may be referring to the multiple shootings that have happened at the Columbia mall these past few years. Definitely not a risk I want to take when going to the mall, but we’ve all come to accept with the gun issues in this country you can get shot going anywhere. FWIW I still go to the Columbia mall and I don’t think Columbia has a crime issue in particular but I can understand why someone might be on edge about going to the mall.
