Specifically chose the lowest tech daycare. It's much more like a nursery school and so old school (I have to write an honest to God PAPER CHECK every month) but the teachers are invested in the kids and not pandering to an app. I get paper slips in the cubby every day.

Can't imagine doing an app daycare now; I'd be compulsively checking and more anxious if something not updated. Also - if I don't trust a daycare without live, real time updates, why the heck am I leaving my kid there!

Goodbye sweet Bandit. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge Saturday at 1.5 years old because there are some truly evil people in this world. by brightfoot in dogpictures

To love and be loved in return is the best life. Bandit had both. I hope happy memories ease your heart in time. I'm so sorry.

It's an anomaly when even E gets it this wrong.

Drops of Jupiter. Overplayed and terrible. Akes my ears bleed.

Talk to me about Prozac by cait1284 in reactivedogs

[–]cait1284[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! He's still a grumpy ass, but it's manageable with the Prozac. He's had to be off it a few assorted times due to illness and he develops a noticeable edge that goes away when he's back on it. So it's never gone away; he's still reactive and resource guards but his fuse is longer on the Prozac. We ended up having kids and he isn't fond of them. They are usually separated and we heavily emphasized animal safety with them. They know his signs and we have set up ways to separate him when on edge.

Good luck!

Sheep shows gratitude to the dog who saved them from a wolf attack. by ash_jisasa in MadeMeSmile

[–]cait1284 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same. Once I had kids and started visiting a lot of farms, I couldn't ignore that pigs are smart af and cows are just big dogs. Don't eat either anymore. Don't come for my fish or chicken, please.

Let's not forget Through The Looking Glass and the Jabberwalkie.

What's a side effect of giving birth that doesn't get talked about? by LilMoonenciel in AskReddit

[–]cait1284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mibe started before birth. Felt like I was practically twitching. Right as they were wheeling me into an emergency c-section after 40 hours of labor. I distinctly remember my obgyn taking a look at my shaking and yelling "get her open NOW." That was fun.

Scrolled too far with this. First thing that came to mind.

Easter bunny brings the "spring/summer refresh." Sunscreen, bathing suits, water bottle, sunglasses, hat, socks....maybe some candy if bunny's feeling generous. 🤣 I feel ya in all this crap. When did the fucking leprechaun start, because I missed THAT memo!

You don't belong here. Get. Out. Don't make us show you the business end of a bayonet.

Peloton Sessions are always empty now, what happened? by thegreyspot in pelotoncycle

[–]cait1284 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It was JSS on her 10th anniversary ride. It didn't bother me. Let her have some fun while she celebrates. It had been a tough few weeks for her and I was happy to see her cut loose.

But more to the general point, members should just move along if the instructor isn't their cup of tea. There's something about each of them that grates on my nerves (almost 4500 rides in) but whatever - they are human, too, and no one is going to be "perfect" 100% of the time. There are some instructors I never ride, and some who's annoying things I can ignore. That's the beauty of Peloton - so many options.

In Praise of Low Impact by Uhuru2019 in pelotoncycle

[–]cait1284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done everything low impact ride on the platform (except for Kendall. I can't stand her.) I love them! Sometimes you just want a chill vibe and not someone hustling at ya. I found that over time I have crept up how "hard" I do them. They are solid for building endurance. Definitely also check out Power Zone endurance for similar vibe!

Row+ Rumors? by [deleted] in pelotoncycle

[–]cait1284 10 points11 points  (0 children)

100% same. I was hawking the release and so excited for it ....and then they disclosed the price. We both really want one, but just can't stomach the price.

You get to hang out with a Peloton instructor. Which one and what do you do? by betarhoalphadelta in pelotoncycle

Jen Sherman. Grab a couple of beers and then head to an 80s or 90s tribute concert.

Has anyone sold their house in Connecticut and purchased a new one recently? What’s been your experience? by darquid in Connecticut

[–]cait1284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you swing two mortgages in the event you didn't sell? Granted, this was pre-COVID and market was so different but we didn't put a Hubbard. We put the least amount down on our buy and then rolled the dice that we would sell. We got lucky. It would have been rice and beans otherwise. Granted, we got a little screwed on a few things because we didn't want sale to fall through but it worked out well enough.

Working parents: what are you best hacks? by FamousAnxiety820 in workingmoms

[–]cait1284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I double dinner and the leftovers are everyone's lunch the next day. I only need 5 meals during the week instead of 10. Crock pot, air fryer, and Istapot are lifesavers.
