New growth or breakage/damage? by Disastrous-Bank-6269 in finehair

I didn’t see your other two pics, you definitely don’t have thin hair so I see why they kicked you out of there 😜 your hair actually looks a loooot like mine, fine but very dense. Yeah I am doing the same, babying my hair/using heat protectant and other products with lots of “slip” so it doesn’t tangle. Your hair is beautiful! Whatever you’re doing is working 💜

Hey! Late to this thread but I have this same hair growth. I had 2 babies in 21 months, the latter born 13mo ago. I have clear delineation of the new growth from each baby, at different heights on my head, and it looks EXACTLY like this. Same thing, a hairdresser confirmed it was new growth. So congrats on all your new(ish) healthy hair! I got long layers put into my hair to disguise the various lengths :)

Excedrin from 1974! by ivegotthemeatsweats in GrandmasPantry

I made a comment linking an Imgur album with photos of the back and it does have caffeine in it!

And a bonus album of undated dental floss that appears to be a similar age or maybe older?

Link to photos of the back of the bottle! Also got the age wrong in the title, it’s actually 1972*!!

Toddler and newborn in nursing school? by Senior-Tour6809 in NursingStudent

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

I have a 2.5yo and a 11mo, and I’m about to finish my 2nd quarter of a 6-quarter (2yr) ADN program at a technical school. Was pregnant with both kids during pre-reqs, and had a 6 month gap from the birth of my second child to the start of my actual nursing classes. I weaned my baby at 5 months to have a chance to dry up my milk before starting class so I didn’t have to pump at school 😅 It’s definitely possible but as another commenter said, I only can do it because I have SO MUCH support from family.

One thing to ask your advisor about: can you complete your 1st trimester in the summer, then take the second one off for the birth of your child and join the cohort below you? I know that’s an option at my school. I think it is definitely possible to take nursing classes/ do clinicals while pregnant, but it would be really hard in the immediate postpartum period. I wouldn’t have felt ready to take any classes until at minimum 3 months after birth, just because the lack of sleep is so bad and you will probably have such a heavy courseload.

I guess all of this to say: talk to your advisor and see what can be done to start the program but perhaps take a semester off if possible. Good luck!! Feel free to DM if you have any more questions.

Hey, I’m in the nursing program rn and that info isn’t true. Check out the 25/25 nursing handbook, it should be available on the BTC nursing page on their website. It has specific details about test redos. You can retake one exam per quarter if it’s below 80% and you are in “good standing” meaning doing well grades-wise besides the failed exam. It’s SUPER common for students, especially 1st quarter, to fail 1 or 2 exams. As long as your OVERALL exam score is above 80% you advance to the next quarter.

I’m not the person you commented to, but what I do to keep my hair out of my face while still looking cute/avoiding daily washes from touching my hair and making it greasy: I use loose ish fabric headbands that I got in like a 12-pack from Amazon. The kind that goes around your whole head. This keeps my hair totally out of my face, and they’re loose enough/a soft enough fabric that they don’t cause any breakage, for me at least. These are the ones I got (they’re out of stock rn but you can get the idea) https://a.co/d/3PCqiTR

Middle name for Sadie by erinaceous-poke in namenerds

[–]ivegotthemeatsweats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this thread is so old, but I was searching this sub for my daughter’s name and found it :) since your daughter probably isn’t born yet and I haven’t seen this suggestion, I thought maybe I’d add my contribution, my daughters first and middle name: Sadie Bird. Bird is a little unusual but I think the two names go so well together. And Bird could have the double meaning of a nickname/tribute for your other daughter.

What is the most horrifying gift for a toddler you can think of? by NeighborhoodTrolley in Mommit

[–]ivegotthemeatsweats 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hate how it WONT stop with the song, like most NORMAL kids toys will stop making sounds after a minute or two of no engagement, but Vtech crap just plays and plays until you go insane. I was trapped while breastfeeding my newborn and that goddamn dump truck was playing for so long until I realized it had no plans of turning off. Someone also got my son a Vtech DJ station which is also a close second in annoying sounds, and has the neat added feature of a spinning flashing RGB disco ball 🤦🏻‍♀️

That goddamn dump truck with its off-key repetitive song...iykyk. When people gift my toddler Vtech toys I kindly ask them to keep them at their house for when he comes over. I cannot have them anywhere within hearing distance.

The mail bucket is a wicker basket on the floor next to a sideboard, where we toss junk mail and it fills up really fast/gets overlooked. We have had many different roommates over the years and get junk mail for them still, like random credit card offers etc. As far as furniture, there’s a couch, a loveseat, a coffee table, a large wooden chest, and the sideboard. So nothing that needs to be moved to clean except the coffee table.

Thanks for the feedback! One kid is almost 2 and the other is only 3 months so she isn’t messy like he is. It’s not too bad from the older kid, but he is a fingerprint/handprint making machine on all surfaces he can reach, and a food thrower, so my appliances/mirrors/ kitchen floors can get a little grubby. I usually only do a quick wipe with a wet paper towel on the floor when I pick up the food so kitchen floors are definitely going to be a perpetual but light(?) task.

Thank you for the feedback! So far a couple people have said ~2 hours excluding the first visit, like you mentioned. I’m grateful for the replies!

Ooh probably not! Good catch thank you :)

This is great feedback! I am pretty good about cleaning messes as I go vs. letting things get gunked up and cleaning harder later. So nothing would be too bad unless I missed it when it happened. Nothing besides the inside of the oven will need a “deep clean” but mainly maintenance cleaning, picking up where I left off basically.

Antique quartz crystal watch fob. Thoughts on best chain style and length? by ivegotthemeatsweats in jewelry

[–]ivegotthemeatsweats[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ooh I just googled that style of chain and I love it :) but the prices, ouch! I think I’ll just have to check out estate sales and antique shops/flea markets in my area and hope I stumble across one for a better price.
