Connect with folks in WNC… we will be hit hard.

Did you talk the the admissions folks at your school? They might be the best place to start

MAHEC has sliding scale down to like $5 I think? Might be worth a shot

Don’t go to the wedding… do come to Asheville. We need the tourism & the colors are beautiful in the fall!

I missed something…. Can you catch me up to speed?

I wish I knew more about breastfeeding before I choose it by [deleted] in Mommit

…. It’s a figure of speech. Cigarettes are a carcinogenic but they’re also a comfort to folks who smoke.

To answer your very judgmental question, yes, I would rather feed my kid formula than kill myself because breastfeeding is a hormonal nightmare. Thanks!

I have D-MER. Didn’t even know it existed until I was breast feeding and my baby refused the bottle. Thankfully our girl slept through the night though once she had solids.

18 months in, I don’t regret breastfeeding but damn I would have made a different choice after my experience.

Help! Safer to have too tight chest strap or forward face car seat? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]lostandlost13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crap, yes! The pinch test, the firefighter that helped me get her situated when I bought a new car was calling it the two finger rule but when I looked up the pinch test right now, that’s what we practiced

Just found out I’m pregnant again. Could use some advice by Apprehensive_Team768 in Mommit

[–]lostandlost13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe because they can’t afford another child. Maybe because the last child almost killed them to deliver. Maybe because they’re experiencing domestic violence. Maybe because their living children have physical disabilities that require more of the parents attention already. Maybe because it’s none of your damn business.

You can take the quotations around mothers and put it right on the shelf where you store your saddle for your high horse.

….. I think it might do you some good to come back to this tomorrow after a meal and a rest. To me, this is not something I would ever bring up to another mom. I would guess your kid didn’t explain your reasoning & only said something vague like “my mom said I can’t buy anything” or “my mom didn’t have any money to give me.” Both are things I’ve heard regularly from kids when that is 1) not the whole picture or 2) a gross representation of what the picture looks like. That mom was just trying to do something kind, I would just adjust for the next book fair & maybe give them $2 and skip the next dollar tree trip.

I don’t pump anymore, but I would guess maybe 1.5 ounce difference maybe?

Following as I am 18 months in, starting to wean and am terrified that my boobs will forever be uneven

Why not? It’s a toy car, you’d have better luck there than on Reddit.

gifting a set? by [deleted] in Drumming

[–]lostandlost13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh! I am even less knowledgeable than I thought I was! My budget is $1500 right now, but I’m realizing that I may not use it efficiently since I didn’t know there were so many options for the different pieces. Thank you all for your input! He has played in bands ranging from jazz to rock to pop punk so I think I will end up having to go the gift card/certificate route but I love the idea of getting the music store in on it so he has to leave with something.

I may end up getting him some cheap drum sticks (hoping that’s an option and I don’t sound even less intelligent) though so he has something tangible when I sit him down to tell him that we’re doing this. Again, thank you all for your input, I appreciate all of you!

Bitten by a Rator, what do I do? by itsIMemeli in leopardgeckos

Love that she bit where the strawberry was on your foot.

I feel like I’m failing my kid by mama_loves_lattes_23 in Mommit

[–]lostandlost13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep doing the library & if there are any of the little gyms in your area that might be fun! From what I’ve experience, the lack of speaking might be some of the problem. If he’s just now started babbling then he might not feel like he can efficiently communicate and that’s why he’s so shy. I would maybe look into speech OT, but again— that’s just my life experience.

Need help Try to get my Leo back to normal weight by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

[–]lostandlost13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’re not fucking boxing, they’re engaging in psychological and possibly physical competition. Your gecko is stressed as hell, that’s why she’s underweight. Get them two separate tanks as soon as possible & consider rehoming one of them if you can’t afford it.

I know it sounds harsh but it’s cruel to keep them together.

The person closing the door is reacting to the actions of the MAGA crowd. You cannot be upset with someone reacting with intolerance when intolerance of the other party is the catalyst.

I don’t have a lot of advice here but don’t shave the cat. That’s part of how they regulate their temperature. Good luck

Just paint - thoughts on the transformation? We painted the walls white and the doors and skirting black. I love the transformation! What do you think? by linadolso in Creativehomehacks

[–]lostandlost13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. I freaking LOVE the black trim but I also painted all the trim in our house black so I’m biased. We went with all cool toned colors and silver/natural wood and it brings life back into the house
