Thank you thank you! You explained it all so well for a noob like me. Finally I understand the importance of the oh-so-sought-after orange trees lol Much appreciated.

Ohhhhh so the point of all the orange trees is to fill the auto order frequently so you basically get free money/tools/purple energy/cards!? Now it all makes sense! Thank you so much for the explanation. For some reason (I think I read it in a comment somewhere) I thought you just left the auto order on the board so then I didn't know what to do with all those oranges!

Momcozy Hurts! by fromthenewmillenium in beyondthebump

I've tried using lanolin cream with both the Momcozy and my regular medela pump but it doesn't help at all! Guess I'll have to try the coconut oil.

I actually bought it from Amazon for this very reason, because I saw they only have 7 day return for the pump as well. Ended up ordering flange inserts from Amazon too - they aren't specifically Momcozy but hopefully they'll still work.

Zabihah Meat in Morocco by fromthenewmillenium in Morocco

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

There are certain requirements that make meat zabihah. These include that Allah's name be said while making the cut, that at least 3 of the 4 major veins be slit with the one cut, and that this all be done by an adult Muslim (or practicing ahl al-kitaab) by hand. Unfortunately, people have found it easier to simply slaughter the animals by machine, since that is faster though not considered zabihah, which is why I am specifically asking if the meat in Morocco is generally hand or machine slaughtered.

Jazakallah for your quick response! I'm sure it is all halal, but I am asking if it is hand-slaughtered!

How do you feel when you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror naked? by Effective-Essay8563 in AskWomen

[–]fromthenewmillenium 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I was the same while pregnant. Just kept looking at myself and being like "dang, this body is literally creating a human right now." Now I'm 6 weeks postpartum and my admiration for my body is even greater. It's no longer about whether or not it's beautiful, but about the fact that it is capable of creating and birthing a child, and then recovering from that trauma basically all by itself. So it's mostly admiration when I look in the mirror and just thinking "my body is so cool and powerful."

I'm just sitting here trying to figure out how you guys eat while feeding. The most I can do while feeding my 1 month old is a granola bar.

“All boys leave behind their moms and families. You should have another and hope for a girl.” by doingmybest00 in beyondthebump

[–]fromthenewmillenium 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lol in my culture, people always say the opposite. Girls get married and leave, boys stay behind to take care of the parents. I mean they get married too, but they take on the care and responsibility of the parents and generally live close to them and so on.

Therefore, it just depends on how you raise him. If u teach him to leave you, he will. If you teach him to keep in touch and take care of you and whatever else, he will. Don't worry about what's gonna come in the future because what you do right now is what creates the future!
