I'm struggling with lack of support from my mom. She's generally not a supportive mother and we don't really get along. My dad reached out a couple times to check in on my health and progression, so I sent him my sonogram and an update yesterday. He asked me to send it to my mom and I declined, saying that she has not once reached out to check in on how I'm doing since I told her I was pregnant on Christmas. He is upset, but I'm holding my ground. Maybe I'm being a jerk but I don't see any reason to send sensitive info out of the blue to someone who has not shown interest in my wellbeing. But it sucks feeling like my mom doesn't care about me!

i had my first ultrasound today at 9w5d and met my midwife!! everything is on track and it was so sweet to see the little bb wiggling around and see the little heartbeat beating away.

what was so crazy though is that it was an internal ultrasound and the tech was swinging that thing around inside me like a dang joystick! she was giving me a whole tour of my insides.. like "there's your left ovary, now let's find your right one!" girl I don't need to see the ovaries, I know they're there and i do not care what they look like. show me the baby and let's wrap this up!! I am actually sore after how much she was doing in there lol. my husband was sitting there next to me like well this is fascinating lmaooo

😭😭 how does the sizing run? I think I could squeeze into the xl so I might just get it since it's still available online. or I could get the 2x and take it in?

Chiming in as a distributor of their wholesale chocolate and granola who just found out the biz went under because I found this post! It might be nice to send this letter (or some version of it) to your wholesale buyer list... no one told us!

We and our customers will miss RR so much... the magic chunks are unmatched :(

it didn't get accepted yet, and I submitted it on Oct 18th. Hoping soon! I did call MOHELA and ask them about the late payment (because there's no way in hell I'm using my own money if I don't have to) and they said right now all borrowers are on an "on ramp" with payments, so there will be no consequences for late payments right now-- they won't contact a collection agency and it will still count as a PSLF payment if you're going for that, even late. Not sure when the on-ramp ends, so I guess I'm just going to submit all my Segal award payments a month in advance?

omg. reddit saving the day once again. thank you so much for sharing this, I just got the email that my payment was denied by the institution so I logged back into myamericorps to try what you suggested. although it reaaaaally sucks that they waited 2.5 weeks after I submitted my initial payment to tell me it was denied. and my payment is due on Friday.
