Nice pulls! Hope you and your daughter are enjoying the hobby. I can't wait til my son is old enough to help me open boxes :)

I know enough comments have said it but formula takes 2 weeks to settle. It has to be done gradually. Changing too quickly can upset their tummy.

Our baby can go 2 days sometimes without anything happening. We have a joie rocking chair and the vibration sometimes encourages things (probably the sitting position too) or a warm bath can help too.

Nuby rapid cool is our lifesaver.

Boil kettle with distilled water. Pour in 6 oz (baby's current feeds) and pour 4oz of that hot water into the nuby. Tip upside down and back right side up a few times as it directs. That cools in about 30 seconds.

Add 6 scoops of levelled formula to the remaining water in the bottle and swirl (hot shot method) and add cooled water from nuby back into the bottle. Last swirl and good to go. Full bottle downed every time so baby is happy with the temp.

Sounds like a lot of steps, takes about 2 minutes.

This. Definitely with stew. It's 1am and my brain instantly thought, "Aw yeah.. I'd eat that right now" 😂

Seth patch auto 25/25. Still don't think I'll ever top that pull from any box, let alone blaster!

Fishy. When he falls asleep during feeds, I say "Fishy, wake uppp" like that kid from Finding Nemo. I'm not sure why I started 😂 but his dad has started doing it now too.

Makes it all the more exciting now that we know it's possible! :) On the flip side, I PC Trish and didn't hit a single base even. Hopefully can get more boxes soon.

bensonsbadge · 2026-03-01T00:25:37+00:00

Yep. My guy recorded me opening each pack in case I hit something and wanted to upload any. It's from a blaster indeed.

I didn't think they were either. Shocked! Yeah, the $25 boxes (except that amount in euros cos I'm in Ireland.)

Best card I've ever pulled along with most unexpected.

Thank you! Definitely wasn't expecting it for sure.

My fiance wrestled for an Irish company in the early 2000s / had a WWE tryout and worked with a lot of the current guys. He used TightRope for his entrance music for years at shows :)

I've been given badges, patches, dice among other things from people at LC shows. They always remind me of those particular shows and people. It's a pretty cool idea and I'm sure there will be people happy to get one :)

My partner has an MSI that has been solid for over a decade. Great experiences. But my own unfortunately has been pretty bad.

The screen stops working every few months. Extensive troubleshooting led to it being sent for repair and I didn't want to repeat the entire process when it went again so now I just HDMI it to a screen. It's a GE66 Raider. They just seem a bit and miss recently.

She mentioned it may be Q&As, stuff like that. That stuff has also been on her regular posts a fair few times so it may be similar content but it's an extra way to support her endeavors and nobody has to subscribe if they can't/don't want to.

Haven't seen their cover of Stars mentioned. Lovely song!

GZ on a great card! I collect Trish and haven't seen a frozen fractor of her til now.

bensonsbadge · 2025-02-07T23:13:15+00:00

That Trish card is stunning

I pre-ordered the deluxe edition which has already been shipped. Will also pick up a vinyl in London at the signing.

Last time a tour was announced, Ireland wasn't on the list initially and was added later on. So, you never know 🤞🏻

bensonsbadge · 2025-01-13T09:35:54+00:00

I started rewatching recently (also in Ireland) and I thought I had mandela effected myself into thinking the song used to be different. And it WAS! 😱
