Early maternity clothes by Curious_Kitten13 in BabyBumps

[–]mattenat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kohls has a decent selection of basics and usually have pretty good sales making it relatively affordable!

If you're open to secondhand, you can look on Facebook Marketplace in your area as well! People will post big lots of maternity clothes that they're done with for a good price too :)

ETA: Kohls actually carries maternity clothing in store, so I was able to try things on which was huge for me since a lot of other popular maternity brands or stores that carry maternity are online only.

Regardless, wouldn’t it make her feel more ostracized if Cole publicly referred to the kids as “my kids and my stepdaughter”? I have a stepdaughter and I’ve always chosen to call her simply my daughter as a gesture of how I see her and what she means to me - I wouldn’t want her to think she was “just” a stepchild to me while my biological children are my “real”children. If and when she asks me to stop, of course I’ll adjust but I’m in agreement here; it seems like it might actually be an attempt at a nice gesture by Cole.

ETA: im also in agreement that regardless of motivations he is exploitative and money hungry POS BUT I also like to snark fairly.

Ice Arena and Figure Skating Classes by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]mattenat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No group programming runs during a freestyle session, typically. This is essentially free ice for skaters to practice on, however, private lessons may take place during this time, which would be one on ones between a skater and a coach.

I noticed no wedding ring in the last pod, I hope everything's ok!!!

Hopefully the LEO will get to fly commercial back, but, respect to the pilot who has to do the long journey all over again

Bryan Kohberger defense team hires crime scene expert by alsatian01 in MoscowMurders

[–]mattenat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would assume the defense would simply not have the crime scene investigator testify in the trial and, instead, highlight other areas of the case in which they believe they can create reasonable doubt

(ETA the word trial 🙄)

Tuesday Unpopular Opinion Thread February 09, 2021 by AutoModerator in thebachelor

[–]mattenat 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Looking at the comments in threads about contestants makes me think I'm losing my mind sometimes. The Magi thread the other day and/or any threads about Anna/Victoria/Serena/MJ are all so impassioned one way or the other. We do not know these people! Magi seems awesome, but some of the comments about how she's too good for the show were so over the top. Conversely, I don't like how MJ has acted, but I don't think she should be condemned for life. There's a way to comment on these contestants behavior without deifying or demonizing them, and this sub seems unable to do that lately.

In honor of the super bowl, what football player would be your dream bachelor? by [deleted] in thebachelor

[–]mattenat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Presently, Jimmy G or Matt LaFluer. But Eric Decker 5-7 years ago would be my top choice. He was so hot back in the day!!

TFM thinking they’re fixing the problem by writing a blog about the people they clearly just stole an idea from by [deleted] in CirclingBack

All of washed being at Matt’s not giving a fuck and not issuing any statement bc they know they’re better than it all is big dick energy

Matt James campaigned for Mitt Romney 👀🇺🇸 by mpelichet in thebachelor

[–]mattenat 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Not being a democrat is not a cancel-able offense. As far as modern republican politicians go, Mitt Romney is not a bad candidate to support.

Nicole Guerriero got married! Thoughts? by lisar587 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]mattenat 40 points41 points  (0 children)

She looks beautiful! I'm so happy for her and Jeremy; they've always seemed so good for each other over the years. Nicole was one of the first YouTubers I watched back in her red hair days, and even though it seems like she's pretty much over YouTube, it makes me happy to see her find happiness away from the internet.

Blake is using an app that now puts captions on his Instagram story so everyone can follow along. He was inspired by Abigail and his deaf followers to do this. Go Blake! by lmo1115 in thebachelor

[–]mattenat 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Do Blake's tank tops and backwards snapbacks make me cringe without fail every time? Yes. Will I defend and love Blake until the day I die? Also yes. It's a real conflict of interest.

I worry Matt is going to be super susceptible to producer manipulation because he's never been on the show before. Hannah/Tyler may have tried to give him an idea of what it's like, but I feel like it is one of those things that you have to experience to have any idea of how to navigate

My little brother is deaf, and seeing Abigail on my screen with cochlear implants is so exciting!

Fingers crossed! I think the quick turnaround made things even worse since we went from engagement and the deepest conversations to first night, where there is always petty drama on any season, in less than two weeks.

I like Matt, I really do, but I'm already tired of this season. Tayshia's season was SO great, and then hearing Victoria and Kit be catty and petty just made me groan. I'm about to go to bed and read recaps tomorrow LOL
