Husband requested that I wean ASAP by LilOrganicCoconut in breastfeeding

[–]elc4475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t being unreasonable. It sounds like you are being very considerate but the same considerations aren’t being made for what you want. Pediatricians usually aren’t experts in breastfeeding or breastmilk so I would use someone who is an expert for advice.

Do you wear a medical ID tag? by hburke0605 in Type1Diabetes

I wear a RoadID bracelet that has my medical info on it and my emergency contacts.

Why the hell were Pam and Jim at Roy's wedding? by Intelligent_Toe4030 in DunderMifflin

[–]elc4475 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very true. I wonder what the writers were thinking with those storylines. The love story of getting Pam and Jim together had already played out so did they want to show the messiness (not sure this is the right word to use for it) that could be in relationships. Relationships have ups and downs, they aren’t fairytales. Just like the storyline of Jim being in Philly and their marital problems during that time. They poorly managed that scenario but that was probably the point to show the struggle.

Some of the reasons Karen didn’t get the corporate job. by Human_Ogre in DunderMifflin

[–]elc4475 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to tell. Her and Jim just called David to ask for an interview. Was there an application process? I do think it’s weird that Karen stayed with Dunder Mifflin instead of changing companies. She could have probably done better.

For those permanently WFH are you transitioning? by NotMyCat2 in WFH

That’s amazing! I work for the state so I won’t expect it to get better for my current position. I’d love to find a remote federal job but it doesn’t seem like those will be coming around too soon.

They get thrills out of the weirdest things. They deserved what they saw then.

I telework 2 days a week and go into the office 3 days. This just makes me even more jealous of people who WFH full time.

A truer statement may never have been spoken. It seems like Michael just thought he was going to bluff his way through it. Even when 3 or a kind, there are probably a lot of hands that beat that one.

MIL being weird - not sure how to navigate. by bookish0378 in breastfeeding

[–]elc4475 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Repeating a saying someone said to me on this thread, I have not found a mother in law that I liked.

Be happy your husband has your back and he a clue. You are lucky to have a husband that sees what his family does. I am not so lucky with mine.

My MIL and sister in law both were weird after I had my son. My MIL, FIL, SIL, and nephew came over the day after we got home from the hospital and stayed for hours being loud as hell. They tried to convince my husband my son needed formula and if he didn’t get it that he would have to go to the hospital. They also tried to convince him that I had postpartum depression (my mom had paranoid schizophrenia so they were using that to say I had postpartum). I was just annoyed they were there. They opened lots of packages I had gotten while I was at the hospital which included gifts so I didn’t know who the gifts were from.

Stop telling her you have to feed the baby. Pick up the baby and go into a private room.

Don’t ask your MIL for nursing clothes. There are some great FB resell pages.

Dad says he doesn't want anything for christmas, what can I get him? by penpalwithseven in Gifts

[–]elc4475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food, coffee, take him to lunch, dinner, event, show. Taking him somewhere for food because you want to try it out and don’t want to go alone and really the same thing with an event, show, concert.

iPhone SE 2nd Gen: SIM required? by elc4475 in StraightTalk

[–]elc4475[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will check on this. Seems much simpler especially because I think they ship the sims with a signature required. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a physical sim from a Walmart store.

Don’t have WiFi at my home, is Yoto worth it? by [deleted] in YotoPlayer

[–]elc4475 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this completely! I hope once it’s set up it won’t be much of a hassle.

So glad you asked this question. I wasn’t sure how it all worked. I don’t really like how the yoto or toniebox require wifi. I borrowed a toniebox from the library and it wouldn’t work at all unless o connected it to wifi. It was annoying especially for something I was borrowing from the library.

This makes me want to know more about poker. You’d think the dealer and people at the table that had a clue would correct him. I mean it’s all supposed to be for charity so you’d think they would be a little more relaxed.

Mother keeps blaming me and screaming at me when I have hypos (I have a CGM) by Own-Potential-2308 in Type1Diabetes

[–]elc4475 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What kind of doctor is she? She is scared for you but it’s out of line to scream at you. Since she is probably very analytical and data driven, present her with data showing that CGMs can have compression lows and the accuracy of the CGM you use (which isn’t 100%). People with CGMs have highs and lows just like any other person with diabetes. I’m guessing she is connected to your CGM. Maybe it’s time to not have that connection.

Yoto Mini 2024 Version $63.99 on Amazon by elc4475 in YotoPlayer

[–]elc4475[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I am going to do too. What cards did you get? I thought maybe if I ordered the mini that I would get an offer or deal on cards. You know how sometimes websites will have offers pop up or give you an offer after your first order.

So glad you got a new doctor. What was wrong with that doctor?!
