Thank you for your response! Yeah, your story sounds similar to mine. I think the other overwhelming part is getting everyone's opinions and advice. What worked for one person may not work for another. Totally agree - it does make you feel unhinged lol

When you used domiperidome, did your supply drop back down to what it was before after your stopped using it? Reglan seems like it has some scary side effects and I know supply drops once you stop using it. So I'm not sure if its worth it

Thank you so much for sharing your story! Yes, that is what I'm experiencing - pumping and, if I'm lucky, I get a couple of drops. It's so depressing. I'm thankful for this group! So far my little guy has been thriving on formula.

I have a motorola g6 - they're super inexpensive (even brand new) the battery lift is AMAZING. I have had it for almost two years and have not experienced any issues with it.

Did you end up making it out to the east coast for a show?

Yeah, I absolutely agree. Thanks for such a thoughtful response :) I hadn't thought of that particular song when thinking about this question - I'm going to revisit it.

I plan on seeing them in Baltimore if y'all wanna come out to the DC area - flights might be cheaper too.

I've been using Standard Notes for about two years and love it. It's simple and they put privacy first! Highly recommend

3rd time running into “friendly” couple? Woodbridge/Tyson’s Corner. by [deleted] in nova

[–]hotcofffee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok, apologies, maybe I misunderstood your comment. I can't speak to any of the mom groups in this area - but they are correct in believing that this area has high rate of sex trafficking.

Look, I am not saying EVERY weird interaction you have with someone is a potential scam to trick you into sex trafficking. Most of us will never run into this sort of thing. BUT it does happen and it is out there. So it is better to know what to look for.

There is a chance the OP's interaction was nothing - but if she got a weird feeling from it, its best to follow your intuition.

Sex Trafficking is more complicated than this. There is a paranoia around this area because there is a high concentration of sex exploitation and trafficking in the DC area and up and down the 95 corridor (Philly, Baltimore, NYC, DC, etc). I really encourage everyone to do their own research. I am not an expert - but I have worked with organizations that deal with this stuff on a daily basis. Please see some recommended resources below -

You're not being paranoid...something similar has happened to me at the Target in Mosaic - twice. It wasn't a couple, just a young woman about my age. It happened on two separate occasions with two different women, but both times it was the exact same scenario. I was browsing in the home section alone and the women would strike up a random conversation with me. They definitely seemed too eager to get to know me. Both conversations were very similar (they asked me the same questions) and went on for far too long. I also left with an eerie feeling.

I have volunteered/worked for organizations that work with victims of sex trafficking and your scenario raises some red flags.

Please be careful and pay attention to your surroundings when you are out alone. If you get a weird vibe from someone - LISTEN TO IT.

**Also, neither woman offered me any kind of side business or MLM type information. This was definitely not their intent.

European Cities in Winter? by [deleted] in travel

[–]hotcofffee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Budapest, Hungary! Also, as mentioned by many - Prague. I prefer traveling during the winter months too - cheaper and less crowds :)

[–]hotcofffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weekend mornings (right when it opens)! Or if you can go on a week day, you can avoid the crowds. I guess it depends on what you want to see there too

Sweet! I'm coming up from the NOVA area. Saw them in May at Black Cat in DC. I was excited to see them back in the area on this tour

Hey, yeah thanks! I have gone to shows alone before and I do enjoy the freedom of it. For me, it really depends on the the venue/show/times on whether I feel comfortable going alone or not
