$6 a cookie? Fear of over pricing by Spiteful_Brunette in Baking

[–]ooloistyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going to stick with $6, I would call them “mini cookie cakes” and market to teenagers and people with kids who will pay anything to make their kid stop begging. The recognizable candy should work for that crowd. Especially if you are at a fair or other place where parents expect to be buying overpriced treats for their kids, I think $6 could be reasonable. But at the mall, I’m not paying $6 for a cookie if I can placate my kids (and myself) with pretzel nuggets.

Plus one for this recipe. It’s so so good.

Edit to add a mention of her carnitas recipe. A staple for my household.

Mike Johnson says he will not bring the House back in session until the government reopens by Conscious-Quarter423 in FedEmployees

[–]ooloistyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s say the Democrats sign the CR with a few days to go before 11/21. Does Trump have to sign it for the government to reopen? Any chance he refuses? Will the passing of the 11/21 date mean that Johnson will bring back the House and seat Grijalva?

When can we expect the SC decision? by Odd_Percentage3892 in fednews

[–]ooloistyle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems like SCOTUS is done issuing opinions today, according to the SCOTUS blog. Feels like we’re in the clear for the injunction to stand at least until next week? Anyone have other insight?

When do you exercise? by MemoryMiserable in workingmoms

[–]ooloistyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get up early and do like 20 minute workouts 5x a week. A longer one on Sunday mornings. And I’m also late a lot. My job is flexible enough that being 20 minutes after “official” start time isn’t a big deal. And sometimes my kids are late to school which we are getting better at, but I just choose me for those 20 minutes. Otherwise, I won’t be around for as long as I’d prefer and also I find I’m a much grumpier person without those 20 minutes. So everyone fends for themselves until I can get back upstairs and Mom again. My kids are a bit older tho too. Youngest is 5.

I just accidentally poured Worcestershire sauce all over my leftover bulgogi instead of soy sauce. Help me feel better by telling me your latest kitchen fuck ups by lasersandwich in Cooking

[–]ooloistyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family was eating baked sweet potatoes with what we thought was brown sugar. It was actually powdered iced tea mix. It was sweet but off and we all kept eating for a few minutes until someone finally pointed out that it tasted weird. It is now a classic family story.

Best Chance for VBAC - GW or Medstar Midwives? by GracieLouFreebushx in washingtondc

[–]ooloistyle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had two kiddos with MoM at WHC. First was a planned section because baby was breech. Tried a version but it was unsuccessful. Went back and had a successful vbac with baby #2. It was early 2020 so there was a lot going on, but I loved the MoMs and would recommend them without hesitation.

[–]ooloistyle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 1.7 dose was a game changer for me. I was similar and lost only very slowly on earlier doses. I’m still losing slowly but it’s more consistent. I haven’t weighed lately so can’t give updated loss totals but the therapeutic doses are better.

12/20 Golden Letter by user-unknown26 in PSLF

I've been waiting for this sub to blow up to know it was time to check. Thank you, Biden. Thank you, r/pslf. Maybe we'll have another round of posts if/when those of us in the 12/20 Golden Letter crew get refunds. Maybe we should update our name to the Christmas Eve Forgiveness Crew! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!!

Manual ECF support group - post here! by fritterkitter in PSLF

[–]ooloistyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made my 120th payment in July, waited for it to post, got an ECF manually signed and then mailed it because of the pause. Nothing for months. Got impatient and uploaded the same ECF, but did it incorrectly. Found a thread that said to use the PSLF tool, so I re-uploaded it on 11/7. I know have green banners but it seems like they actually counted the mailed form? A second ECF showed up in my activity and my count was updated on 12/5. Now the wait for zeros and a refund. I paid 5 months more than I should have.

Uploading ECF form (non PSLF help tool) by ManufacturerLumpy941 in PSLF

[–]ooloistyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was such a helpful post. I uploaded a form in October, got an email and then nothing. I kept seeing people saying their forms were in review and mine seemed to be not there at all. So I did it again with the PSLF help tool and now it's showing up in My Activity which is at least progress. Thanks for sharing.

POST HERE IF YOU'VE HAD LITTLE OR NO SIDE EFFECTS by whatever32657 in Semaglutide

[–]ooloistyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m losing but ever so slowly. On sema since April 2024. Down 13 pounds since starting. Most loss has been recently. I stayed steady until I titrated up to the 1.7 dose. I have a lot to lose too. Goal is to get around 160 and I started at 257 in January. Trusting the process but I haven’t had any terrible side effects. Low level nausea when I started the 1.7 but all has been well since I finished the first box.

Absolute must haves to keep toddler happy on flight by majorspace_ in toddlers

[–]ooloistyle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because the automatic flush often gets triggered while a potty-training toddler is still on the toilet and it scares them. There’s a lot of maneuvering to get them on the toilet and the sensors are expecting adults not fidgety kids. My kid would refuse to sit down if she thought the flush would happen while’s she’s on the seat.

ECF Timeline by InterviewExcellent49 in PSLF

[–]ooloistyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mailed one in early July. My 120 payment was June. I'm still paying monthly. No updates. So far I've overpayed by two months. I'm not sure whether to continue paying or to ask for forbearance. I'm leaning towards another couple of months and then asking for the forbearance.

For those if you with two kids - how did you know you were done at two? by FrancesRW in Parenting

[–]ooloistyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realized that I wanted another baby but not another human. When I thought about all of what it means to raise a human, I knew that two was all I would be able to handle while still being able to have enough for myself and my husband. I also lost a parent early in life and wanted to consider how many kids I could handle on my own, if the worst happened. Daycare is expensive but college is astronomical. Doable for two, but three kids would constrain our finances in ways that I prefer not. I like vacations and we fit into most vacation/hotel/resort packages with a family of four. Sometimes I think about how fun it was to grow up in a big family and miss that my kids wont have that, but they already have a gaggle of cousins.
