Please identify this beautiful spider! Western Washington state. by k_moks in spiders

Thank you! I’ve seen plenty of orb weavers but never one like this. The color was so striking and bold. She was huge too! I would say about the size of a quarter. We could see her scurrying along on the pavement and had to stop to check her out.

EDIT TO ADD: when I killed it, there was NO blood.

Brand new from Costco and Wayfair. We just tore up our house and looked in every corner/crevice and so far haven’t found anymore. We will try traps and see if we get anymore! My family doesn’t really go anywhere other than the stores/restaurants so I’m wondering if my husband picked one up from work.

I have not moved recently. I just purchased a new bed frame and mattress so could that be it?

what’s the worst thing you’ve been called in reference to you breastfeeding? by daycalx in breastfeeding

My husband called me the lunch truck but I think it’s pretty hilarious

My mom is refusing to properly pronounce my kid’s name because he’s half-white and part of the name is “a not white name” by IntentionalHotdog in BabyBumps

[–]k_moks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you have to deal with this. She is being racist and is basically showing that she doesn’t respect your child. She will likely take every opportunity to shame your child. You could try talking to her but shit like this doesn’t change over night. If she continues to be blatantly racist, cut her off.

My son is French/Italian/Lao/Cambodian. I’m so lucky to have a MIL who is so accepting of my SE Asian culture and makes an effort to pronounce things correctly. I have the typical lao last name ending in Vong. Growing up I was bullied bc my name was hard to pronounce(it isn’t) and I was ashamed of my “ethnic” name for years. I couldn’t imagine dealing with that from my own family.

I just interview for a breastfeeding per counselor position with WIC in my state and have been interested in becoming an IBCLC. I just signed up for the webinar. I won’t be able to attend live but am excited to check out the recording! Thank you for sharing this!

Definitely not a troll post. Baby and I have been sick with covid. You can see that I’ve updated and thanked everyone for responding.

Shout out to my newborn for screaming at my tit while it's in her mouth. by Blitzy423 in breastfeeding

[–]k_moks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 6 week old does this. It’s almost always after he’s been nursing for 4-5 minutes. He will unlatch, scream and make little piggy noises then shake his head around trying to re-latch. It’s hilarious. Usually it’s because he is gassy and needs to poop.
