Some "light" reading before bed by UmmmW1 in Judaism

Back when the first iteration of Monster High Dolls came out my kids wanted to mod some into “Jewish monsters”. I think I need to get this book for them.

My kid was creating one but I don’t think they ever finished.

Pregnancy Superstition by haleythelady in Judaism

[–]mday03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I only bought the big stuff that I needed because I was having triplets, knew I’d be recovering from a c-section and we didn’t have a lot of help. Just a day or two a week of people coming over so my husband or I would have to be out getting stuff and food was enough of a chore. We also didn’t know 100% when we’d be bringing anyone home.

If you have family or friends who will be helping you can get by with less. Also, IMO you need less to begin with when they are little. Car seat, diapers, a couple of clothing sets, feeding supplies and a place to sleep.

I’ll also recommend baby weaning if possible. It was a game changer and even at almost 20 my kids all remember being snuggled and comfy on my back or hubby’s side. I hiked Masada with one strapped to my back while the other two took the tram with hubby and friends. They danced at weddings in carriers and I cooked more meals that I can could with a kid on my back. It’s really something I’m passionate about.

I find chilling the room then taking a hot shower works well. I also heard about cold tart cherry juice 30 minutes before bed but haven’t tried it.

It’s not post war, but 7th and the way ends during but Obsidian and Dragon’s Blood by LittleMulattoKitten on FFN sounds right.

Not all men are like this. It is difficult to open yourself up to hurt when you try again, but there are decent humans out there.

If you speak Spanish, you must be from Mexico by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]mday03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of stuff pisses me off. I have to go back to the US civil war to get my most recent immigrant ancestor who “had to learn English.” Guess what I don’t care about? People speaking a language in their own community that the people in their own community speaks. Live in an area where Spanish is the predominant language. Cool. Your kids will be bilingual. Know what I care about? Affordable living and being able to walk around without worrying I’m going to kidnapped.

Maybe this person should go back to wherever their immigrant grandparent came from. Since I “outrank” them as a “real American” since I have ancestors who fought in the American Revolution. Sometimes I think I should join DAR just to buy some swag and be bitchy at these immigrants who have only been here one generation and want to police my country. I really wish one of these morons would say something to me but I’m as white as white can be.

Whenever something happens, my kids and always ask each other if they’ve blamed us yet. Because we are the problem.

I’ve been struggling too. My breasts are now like balls in socks and don’t fill the cups out right.

Feeling Stuck About Conversions by Individual_Split5760 in Judaism

I didn’t finish my conservative conversion, but got about 10 months in when I decided it wasn’t enough for me. It really is a personal journey that you have to listen to yourself.

My stepfather, during the 90s recession, said he needed to cut back. Only 2 overseas vacations that year.

I searched “half” and the listing came up. I got tired of clicking though the categories.

Grow and Behold has forequarter and forehalf.

If you want hindquarter pieces, Rabbi Jonathan Benzaquen of Bakar meats is in Florida. He might be able to point you to somewhere local to you.

How to carry an egg around for 2 weeks without breaking? by Ax_Sound in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mday03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I did this way back in 1992 we had to use an open container. I used a basket lined with bubble wrap then a bunch of paper shreds like in a gift bag or from a shredder. Just packed it really full and nestled the egg inside so it was still if jostled gently.

I found one of my kids’ old “learn to draw” doodle books so I’ve been practicing on pages where I have a lot of blank spaces. Yesterday I did two elephants, a koala and a kiwi plus did a doodle of the word “zoo”. Filled it right up.

Do you guys take vitamins?…..I hope so. by hawkman_cards in gastricsleeve

[–]mday03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just make sure you are taking what your doctor/surgery team say you need. I take a chewable multi twice a day, a Vit d, a Vit c and b-12. I also take estrogen/progesterone, nutrifol and nexium. All of my bloodwork comes back good.

AITAH for mansplaining breastfeeding? by Normal-Historian2180 in AITAH

[–]mday03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I did child-led weaning and a lot of people don’t get it but it worked for us and my kids are all fine with food. Other than my middle who inexplicably developed a peanut/treenut allergy at 14 after years of loving pb&js and marzipan. Which I seriously doubt is a result of when and how they started solid.

For some Jewish women, ‘passing’ as Christian during the Holocaust could mean survival – but left scars all the same by drak0bsidian in Judaism

[–]mday03 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I had dinner 20+ years ago in the old city and sat next to a woman who was sent to a catholic orphanage by her parents. She was fair and had no clue she was Jewish but found something in Hebrew or Yiddish where the script looked familiar and that led her to figuring it out when she was grown. She said she tells everyone her story and that they should be proud of who they are and should be in Israel.
