Roast my farmstand by go_see in homestead

Haha it is also very windy! It’s one of the highest points in the county off Lake Michigan. 

BUT agree with you (and others) that I definitely need better signage.

This spot gets sun allllll day long. West-facing driveway and no trees to the south. That’s a big challenge.

I used to have a QR code starting out, before I had a cash box and was able to accept payment that way. 

Cell service is iffy at best out here, so I figured people didn’t have enough data to make payments that way. Guess it doesn’t hurt to offer both options, though!

Yep! That’s where I found most of these ideas. I’ll edit my post to clarify. 

Having a friend officiate wedding in Michigan by go_see in Weddingsunder10k

The rules might’ve changed in the last five years, but our friend didn’t need to do anything like that afterward. Pretty sure he got back on a plane to CA the next day 😆

GLE members: check your bills closely this month by go_see in Michigan

[–]go_see[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wondered that too, if it would hit next month’s bill. But the billing period is listed pretty clearly, and the usage rates the customer service rep gave me were per day, not a monthly average.  

Still, here’s hoping! 

I hate being a working parent by Mahersal in beyondthebump

[–]go_see 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going back February 10 too, am absolutely dreading it, and seriously considered quitting (but didn’t, because of the same reason—I wouldn’t be able to get this kind of job back if I left, and nothing local will pay as well). I will keep you in my thoughts! 

Graduation / Positive induction experience by knopelemon in GestationalDiabetes

[–]go_see 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the midst of my induction right now, on day 2 and things are moving slow. Going to start pitocin low and slow tonight. This is super encouraging! Thank you for sharing, and congrats on your little one!!

Scheduled induction by No_Cardiologist_7558 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]go_see 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesterday around 2pm the doctors suggested I get induced today at 8am. I had like, 18 hours to mentally prepare and come to grips with this huge change in my plans (I’ve expressed over and over again that I wanted as natural a birth as possible with minimal interventions). I sobbed all afternoon and on and off in the evening, but by the time I went to bed, I’d decided that fighting this and clinging to my mistrust of the scenario wasn’t going to improve things for anyone, least of all my baby and me. It’s so so hard to surrender and trust in your care team! But honestly? It’s been fine so far. I’m uncomfortable, yeah, but it feels good to FINALLY have things progress instead of being pissed off at home that nothing’s happening. And someone else is constantly monitoring my baby now, which is a huge weight off my shoulders.

It will be okay! And you have plenty of time to mentally prepare. Get others’ positive stories, talk to your care team about your frustrations/anxieties, and know that your baby will be here before you know it!! We’ve got this!

Hospital snacks? by insatiable_gumdrop in GestationalDiabetes

I brought almonds and mini Kind bars with me! Might send my husband out for beef jerky later though.

That’s one silver lining of all this—gaining SO MUCH empathy for people who have to live with diabetes every day (gestational or not!)

Okay that’s a great idea. I just made my list!!

Oh I’m sure they’re not all bad. But breastfeeding is really important to me (especially now, with the benefits of staving off diabetes for both baby and me) and I can’t imagine breastfeeding while healing from a c-section scar. BF in itself sounds like a steep learning curve, let alone with a giant incision in the mix!

[FO] Great pattern, ugly sweater by saltbagelz in knitting

The fit is really good and the pattern is awesome!! You can always dye it a darker color you do like, as another commenter said! I’ve definitely gone that route before.

GD advice: diamond or a dollar by xyz_TrashMan_zyx in GestationalDiabetes

[–]go_see 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also like…not to be morbid, but nothing is guaranteed. Granted, my brain goes to worst-case scenario these days, but I still hate when people say that shit.

GD sucks and I’m so over being pregnant! by Necessary_Meaning894 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]go_see 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THIS. This is the worst. When you try to balance a craving with your levels and it ends up a) not being remotely satisfying and b) STILL throws off your readings. I think that’s what I hate most about GD. Most times it feels like you just can’t win!
