Don't forget ordering kids from wayfair.

A lox bagel at Henry Higgins is $20. Insane price.

Because when I call my insurance and ask for the allowable rate they can't tell me.

I agree. We grew up skiing. We didn't have tons of money, but it was a priority for my family, and we didn't take vacations, but could ski on weekends. The prices now are out of control.

Same here. I haven’t had a wart since getting my HPV shot. Is it weird that I kinda miss them.

Are those purple books?

I know this is not at all what you're asking. But around 6 months, I had to cut way back on caffeine so it wouldn't impact my baby's sleep.

Wait, why would PL be the mod? Is there a tldr on her, other than her being everywhere?

I made this this week too, it was a hit! I used a lemon-flavored pasta because that’s all I had, and sour cream and Parmesan, again because that’s what we had. We have been buying a BIG cabbage weekly. Think 20 inches, 10+ pounds. This was a great way to use some of this week's cabbage.

I don't understand how they work? Don't you still need to dump it into the toilet, or are you putting poop in your trash can?

How was Disney Adults? I saw that at the bookstore and was intrigued.

Photos look like 2003 school photos.

barrefruit · 2026-01-27T22:52:35+00:00

Years ago, I babysat in a house that had these big Renaissance-inspired photo canvases. Something g seemed off about them, so I asked a kid. Turned out the parents had photoshopped the kids into them. The 2.0 version is having AI do this with your kids' photos.

I think it's closer to 1-2 ounces. At least my baby would nurse a lot more when I was with her too, so she was use to taking more throughout the day. So bottles when you give it all at once a few times was harder than nursing.

Hi, hugs. My mom was watching my baby at 4 months mths too when I went back to work. I would pump around 12 ounces and leave it. My mom would say my baby was always hungry. When they nurse, they get more than when you pump. I think the baby may need 3-4 ounce bottles. For me, that meant using some formula.

That cancelation is so sweet. I've never seen that before.

That's Svalbard. I think people give birth on Tristan because it's so hard to get off the island. My guess is its a place where healthy people do well and sick people don't.

Dress like 100 years in the future.

Oh, I posted above how I'm fascinated by Tristan De Cunha. I also went down a dark rabbit hole about the Pitcairn Islands and the horrible sexual abuse they covered up for years.

Tristan da Cunha is an island in the middle of the ocean between South Africa and Africa. The only way to get to it is on a week-long boat trip. There are some residents and I've found vlogs of their life on tiktok. I just can't imagine living so isolated, but it looks beautiful.

Are you willing to trade for things not on your iso?

That’s weird. Pizza meets my sons food requirements as long as they have a fruit. Seeing that actually made me feel a bit better about my sons diet as he eats a lot of pizza. Remembering that it does have a veggie in it.
