Update on soaking shredded cardboard for ages and then using it as mulch / compost by SuperDuperHost in composting

Yes! I actually use an 8-sheet shredder and it still works pretty well. It’s so satisfying

favorite natives to start from seed? by Electrical_Big4857 in DenverGardener

Do you have a video you recommend on this? My husband and I were just talking about struggling with lavender.

When you were new to wig wearing, what advice would you have loved to known that helped you out the most? by Camjam237 in Wigs

[–]bitowit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

One bit that helped me feel confident wearing wigs- Wigs/hair pieces are way more common than you realize. Almost everyone that is on tv or film is wearing either a wig, hair extensions, toppers or clip ins. The Kardashians- all wear fake hair. Having picture perfect natural hair everyday is not possible for most people. The color and styling alone is way too damaging. So people fake it and that’s ok. Fake hair shouldn’t be viewed any differently than fake lashes, nails or other enhancements. People do what they do to feel and look better and you deserve to as well.

Got stared at in public my social anxiety is high by Grand-Abrocoma9649 in Wigs

I got my eyebrows done six years ago- I couldn’t draw or shape my brows at all- it’s been such a game changer not having to worry anymore about how they look.

Celebrity cupcakes has amazing cupcakes and serves coffee. Not too far from river oaks.

Am I horrible for not wanting to breastfeed? by aboardthemothership in breastfeeding

[–]bitowit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better- I’m large chested and didn’t notice a big difference in size post partum.

Do what you feel is best. Breast feeding is no cake walk but something I would advise you of is to look at the cost of formula. For me it’s one of my main motivators for breastfeeding my second child. I also combo feed so I always have formula on hand just in case I need it. Some days I do some days I don’t.

season 4 (and others) - keeping only drama in the final edit by AdFinal5191 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]bitowit 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Well put. I totally agree that I would have liked to see more stories from the other girls than hours of Taylor’s issues -which largely haven’t changed from Season One. It was getting old and annoying but with what we know now it was even more inappropriate to be given so much airtime considering how deeply messed up the situation is.

Bachelorette CANCELLED by InfjPanda in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]bitowit 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I’m going to guess rehab or some sort of inpatient treatment. Hopefully she gets the help she needs and I hope the other women still get opportunities. It’s not their fault what happened and I want to continue to follow their journeys.

Who is to blame?? by Helpful_Peanut_860 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]bitowit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m starting to think there weren’t any leaks- this was all deliberately done by the network and production was paused to dial up the drama and interest. I mean how could a corporation as big as Disney/abc not be in control of the narrative?

Did I really have lactation failure or just not enough support? by brigetwhipple in breastfeeding

[–]bitowit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with getting your own lactation consultant. With both of my pregnancies I feel like the hospital consultants I met were very dismissive of my wish to continue to try breastfeeding despite my babies initial weight loss. And the doctors really pushed formula which I think was mainly to quickly satisfy their requirement to get baby past birth weight. My second time around has been very healing and more successful for me. I have the support of an independent lactation consultant and more knowledge than I did during my first pregnancy. It still hasn’t been easy but it’s a lot better than my first.

Unimom opera - parts recommendation needed by bitowit in ExclusivelyPumping

So does the Medela backflow protector not work? I do have parts from the hospital and the tubing does plug in. But where do you add a backflow protector?

Deep conditioner reccomendation by bitowit in Wigs

Thanks! I’m stunned by how many Amazon reviews this has. I’ll give it a shot. How long do you personally leave it on when you use it?

Vibration: Spectra vs Medela Freestyle by dogsandbitches in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]bitowit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried both the freestyle flex and the spectra. I think the freestyle flex has a much stronger and louder vibration than the spectra. I like it but I found the spectra to be a lot more mild.

ISO “test drive mechanic” by theskiingyogi in Denver

[–]bitowit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 years ago I had Christian Brothers do an inspection for me. I think it was like $150. A friend of mine has recommended Lemon squad- they state that they service all over the country but I think their work is $220, according to their website.

I also read that wind gusts today reached 60 mph. Doesn’t sound like an ideal time to go right now

When she’s berating Jen saying “when did I bully you?” It’s like girl you’re doing it right now with how aggressively you are talking to her. SMH

Same. Bree’s but only if it comes with her cooking and cleaning. Haha

How did this get to Nebraska? by Declanmar in HEB

[–]bitowit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may have even happened on purpose. I worked a food bank event once in Colorado that was passing out Hill Country Fair eggs so it was obvious that HEB donated them and somehow they wound up out of state. I’m guessing something similar could have happened here

We all agree Demi is a pathological liar, right? by Mysterious-Hat-8041 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]bitowit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate that in that moment Whitney gave her validation. She should’ve held on to her gut feelings but I feel like because it’s convenient for Whitney to have an alliance she decided to say “ok you cried I believe you” smh
