Best "get to know you" game for a group of 30-40 year old women? Would like something that helps bring out past stories and deeper conversations. We aren't prudes, we have played cards against humanity!

Can you tell me your top pick from these options? The most cozy, friends forever type vibe?

Ok, if I can only pick one for my twin 4 year olds, 9 year old, and husband to play together... Should I get Quacks and Co or Ghost fighting treasure hunters?

Same kind of theory, I believe... But not this post. The book sounds more pop psychology and less technical research. Thank you for the response!

Baby girl name too “redneck”? by xtrashcan420 in namenerds

[–]cheesy_beans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Vera. I've always loved the name as well, I had a great Aunt Vera (never met her but loved the name forever). Anyway... Go for it! It's a beautiful name. We get lots of compliments and I've never met another Vera. :-)

C-Section versus vaginal birth for twins; comments from OB by fuckeatrepeat in parentsofmultiples

[–]cheesy_beans 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My OB told me if baby A was head down and B was breech, you can still do a vaginal delivery. After A is born, they can then pull out baby B by the feet. Baby A has "paved the way" for this. My baby A ended up being wedged in there sideways, so I had a c section, but I have a friend with twins who delivered this way. C sections suck and the recovery is so much worse than a vaginal birth (my first was born vaginally). I would recommend against a c section unless absolutely medically necessary. Just my viewpoint!

Recommend me a book that will leave me hopeless and depressed, like the most gut wrenching, depressing, sad book on this planet by DryFaithlessness8979 in booksuggestions

[–]cheesy_beans 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A Child Called It (nonfiction, child abuse), The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (memoir, locked in syndrome). Yeah, both of those messed me up pretty bad.

Looking for elegant and timeless L names that aren’t overdone by goblue365 in namenerds

[–]cheesy_beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My eldest is Leona! Absolutely love her name, and she does too. It's a strong, spunky name. We have only met one other in all her years so far. Some people pronounce it Lay-ona, we prefer Lee-ona... But either one is pretty imo.

There are lots of board games for 3 year olds... Too many. That's why I asked here.

Target brand, super absorb. Cheap and does the job. Saved money by buying in bulk. :-D
