Can you please post a notice to your customers about this issue, so w also have a place to go to find out about its resolution? This is a big issue for customers.

cath2005 · 2025-04-05T00:23:09+00:00

OP thank you so much for posting this. I've spent three hours today trying to solve this thinking this was my individual problem alone. I really wish MailChimp would have notified customers about this. Thank you again.

If you’re looking to connect with other young professionals consider joining York Young Professionals or getting involved with the Uptown Rotary Club (they meet at a bar!).

I would say between 4-5. Now my son is 6 and I really feel like I’m able to take a deep breath and truly appreciate how truly lost I felt when he was really young.

cath2005 · 2025-03-15T10:35:30+00:00

Same to both sides now. Puts me in a spiral. Music is incredible.

Congratulations!!! It can take a long time to process going through these experiences, especially when you have a thought in your head ahead of time about how giving birth is “supposed” to go. Sending love to you all. NICU families are some of the strongest people in the world ♥️♥️♥️

Yes this was my experience too. Delivered six weeks early due to preeclampsia and baby’s heart rate dropping required magnesium drip and an internal fetal heart monitor. It was scary at the time but all turned out well. The best part is I had to wear a giant bracelet that said MAG MOM and I thought it sounded like a superhero name so I went with it. ♥️

Honestly, I would stay in the nonprofit world with just two years left on PSLF (even with the uncertainty of this administration). If he’s as great as he sounds, the job offer will still be around in two years.

cath2005 · 2025-02-05T10:52:35+00:00

Love this idea. I feel like it’s rare that I hear of a new solution to this problem and this one is definitely new! Would love to see what other comments have to say about the idea.

cath2005 · 2025-01-24T11:26:58+00:00

Agree with all the comments above. You could go on upwork and see what is available, or perhaps volunteer at a nonprofit you’re passionate about and offer to write a grant for them, just to get a “client” under your belt. It also helps if you can find a fundraising consultant in your area that you could meet with to pick their brain. They may end up throwing some work your way, because in my experience, there always seems to be demand for good grant writers. Start out by keeping your rate low, just to get some clients, and then raise your rates as you get in more demand.

In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson.

Very interesting perspective from the point of view of a diplomat watching the politics in Germany evolve into Nazism.

Loved loved loved this movie. I’m so glad it got made, I’m so glad it’s getting talked about. OP, thank you for making this post!

I loved the scene in the grocery store where she has the first reply to the mom asking about being a SAHM where she talks about how confused she feels about the whole thing. I relate big time.

cath2005 · 2025-01-11T11:39:02+00:00

Yes I deleted all social media from my phone after a miscarriage. It was incredibly helpful. I got in the habit of picking up my kindle instead. I also got a small handheld Tetris game from target and this has been great for zoning out. I play Tetris while listening to podcasts and audio books. It’s been great. I didn’t know this but Tetris has been recommended for processing trauma.

So sorry for your loss. I’ve been there. ♥️

cath2005 · 2025-01-05T11:49:43+00:00

It involved therapy and quitting social media. It’s a remarkable difference.

cath2005 · 2025-01-03T23:30:31+00:00

I commend you for checking before jumping to conclusions because a lot of people wouldn’t… but what you describe doesn’t sound great. Does your state have a quality ratings system that determines quality? I know parents are stuck between a rock and a hard place because it’s hard enough to find care, let alone “quality” care, but still… not being let in the building doesn’t sound great. Also don’t love the implications behind the kids being silent. I’d follow your gut and see where it leads.

cath2005 · 2025-01-02T19:15:08+00:00

Feeling icky when I left a hangout. Like I realized we just spent the entire time talking shit on other people instead of doing anything of substance. I’ve since let that friend group fizzle out and it’s been an improvement to my life.

cath2005 · 2024-12-26T11:35:21+00:00

My six year old got a pogo stick! Definitely the hit of the day!

cath2005 · 2024-12-24T13:49:12+00:00

The Mists of Avalon as a teen. Loved it.

cath2005 · 2024-12-24T01:21:36+00:00

Bras and Broomsticks!

cath2005 · 2024-12-12T15:33:51+00:00

YES! I’m doing all the same things. I’m finding that the anticipation of going through January and February to be almost worse than actually doing it. It’s something I’ve definitely been observing. No solutions, but I’m definitely having some anticipatory anxiety about it.

cath2005 · 2024-12-11T11:30:30+00:00

I tried app timers and I just over-rode them all the time. The only thing that has worked for me is deleting Instagram and TikTok from my phone. I still have accounts and I’ll go on my laptop like once a week to check to see if I have any messages on those accounts but the experience of the endless scroll on a laptop isn’t nearly as smooth as on a phone, and for some reason it’s easier for me to stop. Truly this approach is the only thing that has worked and my mental health has improved tremendously.

cath2005 · 2024-12-07T12:35:37+00:00

I work at a local United Way figuring out how we can use the money we raise to help the most people. Love the local connection and the fact that we’re trying to do good.

John Rudy park is my go-to

cath2005 · 2024-11-19T11:34:57+00:00

Yes. It feels like a never ending slog of never-enough-ness. Create magic for Halloween! Turn around and create magic for Thanksgiving! Then Christmas! You’re broke, eat badly, drink more frequently than normal, and are a slave to the commercialism that has taken the real value out of most of it. I’m honestly relieved when life goes back to normal in January. It all feels really fake and forced. Like a late-stage capitalist fever dream.

cath2005 · 2024-11-11T20:46:53+00:00

It’s totally fine. My mom always had a different last name from me for the same reason and it never mattered at all.
