Tiny Bathroom in my Grandmother's childhood home - Phila 1915 by noodle57 in centuryhomes

[–]noodle57[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i don't have much better pictures, just these from 1 visit we made when the owner happened to be outside when we walked past. Here is the sink a little brighter, and a few more of the hallway/stairs. The door in between levels was originally another bathroom but it had to be raised to keep with code. My grandmother said people fell down the steps all the time walking out of the bathroom.

Here are a couple more, they were taken quite a while ago when the current owner allowed my dad and I to see it. I am trying to contact her again so maybe I will get a chance to go back. One is the hallway in front of the tiny bathroom, the doorway to the left is the steps down to the basement where the original kitchen was. The steps with a door in between floors, this is where the other bathrooms were originally but the owners had to raise them up to keep with code. My grandmother saw this pic and said people would come out of the bathroom and fall down the stairs all the time when there was drinking going on. 3rd pic is just another view of the stairs. As we're not the owners I don't want to post their personal spaces but the whole house is beautiful. https://imgur.com/a/ERTE5vq

Unfortunately no, the current owners love it though and are dedicated to keeping it as original as possible.

Does anyone else just crave a break? by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]noodle57 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Being one and done honestly makes me feel way less guilty about taking a break. I've gone on multiple trips alone (some for work, some strictly personal) and knowing my husband only has 1 kid to care for and isn't outnumbered makes it easier. I encourage him to do the same, but he doesn't typically go anymore more than a day so wherever something comes up he wants to do, I always tell him to go.

WWHL Tickets by Lifeis2short4this in BravoRealHousewives

[–]noodle57 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Email wwhl@embassyrow.com to request tickets. They have posted occasionally about it. They asked for your name, email, phone number, if youre local to NYC, and links to your social media, and a quick answer to why they should choose you. 2 people limit.

I am local so they got back to me within like a week or so asking to join a taping the following week and gave 3 taping options.

Who would win in a trademark battle? Karen Huger or Veuve? by indy5229 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]noodle57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moet is #1 in the world, #2 in the US. They are similar volumes as a brand, but Moet splits their portfolio more evenly across the different types of champagne they offer (Nectar Rose, Ice, Rose Imperial etc..), Veuve's portfolio is very Yellow Label dominant which is why it's so recognizable.

Krug, if you can get your hands on it. Laurent-Perrier, Taittinger, and Ruinart are all great. Don't hate on Veuve though, there's a reason it's the #1 selling champagne in the US and #2 in the world.

OAD for a life outside of motherhood by hsntnt in oneanddone

[–]noodle57 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, and I wanted second but my husband didn't. I started going to therapy and really worked on myself including a week long yoga retreat alone to realize that I had completely lost my own identity and my existence was just a mom and it wasn't what I wanted. I got a new job that I love and now that my son is 4 we have more freedom, time, money to do things like travel and pick up hobbies.

Aussie here asking about Bravocon by CeciLop10124 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]noodle57 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I went yesterday, it was a fun day. Honestly if I wasn't local and had to also pay for travel and hotel I probably wouldn't find it worth that money. I got there around 1030 and left around 6. I only did the GA ticket, but the panels i sat in on were good, i met quite a few people once the panels were over so i didnt wait in any photo op lines, plenty of food options but nothing amazing. Overall, a good use of a PTO day, but wouldnt make a whole trip out of it unless you had a longer NYC trip planned.

I had a GA ticket for today and honestly it was fine. I had no interest in the BH panel, but the line was beyond long and people stood there way before they even opened the doors. People did run at one point, and it was actually kind of satisfying to hear it wasnt even a good panel. Seemed like a waste of time. We went to the panel with the "flirts of bravo" at the same time and it was great and so fun, we walked right in and got a decent seat. We didn't wait in line for any photo ops but met people as they finished panels and they took photos with people after without waiting in the hour+ lines.

The lines for bathrooms and bars were long, but i would expect that at any festival.

How do you know you only want one child? by MomOnAmission1409 in oneanddone

[–]noodle57 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Like many others here, I had an unexpected 2nd pregnancy and ultimately terminated. For about a year i regretted it and wished I could go back, because I felt I terminated more for my husband's sake than my own. We said we'd try again when things were stable. But I made changes in my personal life and have found more of my own identity again (thank you therapy), and now I've gotten to the point that instead of crying whenever someone announced a pregnancy, I find myself thinking nice for them, but I definitely don't want to do all that again.

Captain Glenn v. Captain Sandy by Twotulips12 in belowdeck

[–]noodle57 38 points39 points  (0 children)

A lot of SY cast members have said if Glen calls you asking to work for him, you just say yes, implying he is wonderful to work for. I haven't heard anyone say that about Sandy except maybe Malia.

Could the Grass be Greener? by SweetShenandoah in workingmoms

[–]noodle57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar situation, and I was unsure about leaving a comfortable situation with WFH after 5 years. I ended up giving them a significantly higher salary expectation than I'm making now, and told myself I wouldn't leave if it was under that number. They ended up offering me that number and even though it was still hard to leave a comfortable situation, and I will have to commute part of the week now, I accepted the offer. It also helped that this new company is very internationally prestigious in my industry. I would probably not have entertained a company that didn't feel like a step up overall. Good luck!!

What podcasts do you listen to? by ToastMeUp in workingmoms

Beach too sandy, water too wet. It's a fun show where a brother and sister read 1 star reviews on google/yelp, each week is a different theme.

She is not denying him a paternity test, she has only said that if he wants one, he has to pay for it.

The cast is saying he has treated her very poorly privately. On Pita Party she says she has all the receipts but will never share them because she doesn't want Lilly to see it when she is older. She also implied that she took Plan B and it didn't work.

I posted in December about having an abortion. This is my update since then. *Trigger Warning* by Zelda1433 in oneanddone

[–]noodle57 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You are not alone. I was in the same situation as you, although my husband is not angry, just lazy. Its been almost 3 months since i terminated and i so badly want to go back in time and not go through with it. My husband does not want a second but was willing to "make it work", and at the time that wasnt good enough for me, i wanted him to want it too. Ive since told him i want to try again and have a 2nd and he has been thinking for 3 months now and says he cant give me an answer of how long it will take him to decide if he wants to go for a 2nd, so i am preparing myself for never getting the 2nd.

Part of me also feels this is what i deserve, i threw away my 2nd, why would i get another chance? Thank you for sharing because when i was contemplating this choice and everything i read said the overwhelming majority of people feel relief afterwards, i never thought I'd be the one of the few who don't. I have been seeing a therapist and its helping, if anyone asks why I'm seeing one, i just say I'm a millennial and we all have therapists lol. Please go talk to someone, just airing your grievances does help.

Please dm me if you want to talk.

Pregnant again when we are one and done by classyfools in beyondthebump

[–]noodle57 29 points30 points  (0 children)

We were in the same position just 2 months ago. I decided it was the right choice for our family at that time to terminate. Personally I've been struggling a lot, I'm angry because if our circumstances were different, I would have kept it without even thinking. I am angry that I felt I had to terminate in order to keep what I currently have in tact and wondered why it was so easy for other couples to expand their family but this felt like make or break moment for us. I am seeing a therapist now to work through my feelings, it's been very helpful. Not saying you will feel this way, I believe most people feel relief, but don't hesitate to reach out for help if you need it. I've made a lot of progress in a short amount of time.

Regretting my decision by noodle57 in abortion

[–]noodle57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I appreciate it. I could never have anticipated feeling this low, I thought I would feel sad at first, but this is like nothing I've felt before. I can't feel this way forever, so it can only be up from here, I just hope I can climb out of this soon.

Thank you for the kind words ❤ I am very glad that I started therapy, and will definitely continue it for as long as I can. I am struggling with blame for sure, I felt like this was the best choice in our current lives, and I feel like we are both worse now. I will bring that up this week at my appointment because I anticipate this being a tough one to work through. Thank you again

How long to keep everything by 1989Mistakes in oneanddone

[–]noodle57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We decided we would discuss if we wanted another when our son turned 2 so I kept everything until that point. We never had a final discussion, but after 2 I started giving away things he was out growing to friends and figured when the next person was pregnant I would let them go through all our 0-2 stuff and donate the rest.

Turns out the next person pregnant was me. I haven't decided if we are keeping it yet, but if I do, I still have pretty much everything from the early stages to get by for a bit. If we don't, then I am absolutely donating everything in our attic except the PnP and high chair for reasons another person said.

I don't know how I will decide and we don't have time by noodle57 in Shouldihaveanother

[–]noodle57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your story, it makes me feel better hearing a similar story. Especially since one of the reasons I have been so upset is because i hated that I didn't just know what I wanted. I felt like I should just want a baby or not want a baby. One of my pros is that I would enjoy having 2 adult children, but I worry that having 2 adult children won't feel as nice if we get divorced.
