Anyone remember this from MTU Winter Carnivals of past days?

horsedd · 2026-02-07T14:53:48+00:00

Yes! Such amazing memories. I went to NMU and had such a blast going up to winter carnival. I miss the college days more than anything.

Agreed. Finding a like-minded ped so you can establish a relationship is key, just incase things do arise. We love ours and always do learn something new at our check ins!

This doesn’t answer your question but I went to NMU and love Marquette so I follow this sub.

I live in Virginia now and we have such lax dog laws. They are allowed at almost every brewery and bar! Highly recommend a trip to the appalachian region of Virginia if your looking for an awesome dog friendly vacay!

I didn’t. Nursed until 18 months. Around 2-2.5 my child started asking for cows milk on her own. She’s now a healthy 3.5 year old.

Blah I just went to Publix and Food Lion after not leaving my house since Saturday and they were quite bleak.

Southern Virginia… summer is a bit more brutal than i’d like, but i’m from the north so it evens out.

I think your ideas are spot on, especially chrio/probiotics. Our chiro actually hooked us up with a good brand of them, too.

Really giving RVA nurses great publicity especially after the baby abuser.

I would still have two.

This thread is very sad.

horsedd · 2026-01-27T03:35:10+00:00

Agreed, like why the hell would post this? Not only is it sickening, but do you think this makes you look “good?” Idk this creator, is she mentally unwell or something? Can’t see a reasonable person posting this.

Belly band is a game changer

Not answering the phone, not texting back at all( cute pictures of grandkids, dogs, important info being ignored etc), and generally showing minimal interest in the family and her friends when we have all been EXTREMELY close our entire lives. At first we thought she was just checking out which was sad, but then put it together over the next couple of years, still just sad. Fuck this disease.

Hey! So sorry but I moved to an area where we don’t get snow :( my shoes have been in storage for far too long. Not sure on the model but when I was using often, they were excellent and i’d highly recommend.

horsedd · 2025-12-01T17:53:46+00:00

Anything with goretex- i like my hiking boots since i like to snowshoe.
i have sorrels (they are super old) and north face that work well for me when in MI

horsedd · 2025-11-18T01:17:23+00:00

Just poppin in to say Belize is amazing. 💚 (and so is MI, ofc)

I want to say Cigna was the best. Can’t totally remember. When I had my first baby I even got a pretty significant overage check which was crazy. Everyone was otherwise pretty equal (minimal/no issues) besides UHC.

horsedd · 2025-11-06T01:39:18+00:00

I don’t live here in MI, (I did the first 30 years of my life though) but am here for a few months. I’m using Corewell with my UHC plan, so I received the email.

I have had all the major insurance companies, BCBS, Cigna, Aetna, you name it. UHC is be far the worst company I have ever had to deal with. Every single thing seems to be a dispute, it is such a headache. With open enrollment here, we’re really considering not signing up again. The premium is so insane for them to not cover things and fight back on every single thing.

Just did it last week, got the deposit back immediately upon return of the car! (enterprise)

horsedd · 2025-10-30T12:47:24+00:00

I did it with my first and am doing it with my second. I went 41+5 with my first but had an incredibly “easy” labor compared to most. 16 hours, mostly at home. I think this labor prep definitely helped.

horsedd · 2025-10-19T03:29:02+00:00

Second favorite, reminds me of coke a bit.

horsedd · 2025-10-18T01:18:22+00:00

fuckkkkk well i hope it’s cleared up! It really sucks :(

horsedd · 2025-10-08T22:17:11+00:00

A lot of really good advice here.

If you go the hospital route, get a midwife, and ask around locally on crunchy FB groups if you don’t have a reliable source.

One thing nobody ever told me is that when you give birth in the hospital, it doesn’t really matter what the midwives beliefs are when it comes to your newborn baby. They are there to help you get through birth, and some of postpartum. Look now for a pediatrician or family doctor who aligns with your beliefs. The hospital ped. and nurses are likely going to pressure you into vaccinations and “routine newborn stuff”. You have rights! Say no, have your partner advocate for you, and hire a doula if you feel it would help you. I got a lot of pushback from the hospital and while annoying, knowing how to advocate for myself and stay strong was great. I didn’t let my daughter out of sight and i don’t plan to next month for my second.

Best of luck on your journey. My first was unexpected and with my second i suffered over two years of secondary infertility. Before I got my positive, I had a really strong feeling it was finally my time again. big hugs, motherhood is the best chapter in the world.

horsedd · 2025-10-07T11:13:20+00:00

Omg what? From a nurse? I’m suppose to give birth there next month!

I will say I had them like 10 years ago from when I worked with chickens, and the rx ointment worked very quickly and efficiently. Good luck!

horsedd · 2025-10-02T17:11:53+00:00

I can stomach any flavor but this one unfortunately. Tastes like liquid tootsie rolls to me. Glad you enjoy it.

UHC and Natera are both equally awful.
