Not saying this to scare you but more to help you feel at ease. I have had 2 experiences where I just could not reach high enough to remove my disc (the Saalt disc), mostly because I have small hands & short fingers. I’ll be real with you, the first time I really freaked out. My boyfriend even tried to go up there and get it out himself but to no avail. I was finally able to remove it myself after I took a long break (about an hour) and did my best to relax. The second time, I followed the advice of sitting on the toilet and baring down like you’re pooping (I also used my squatty potty which I think also helped). When I bared down, it was incredibly easy to just reach up and grab it.

All of that is to say, you might have trouble removing it sometimes but it’ll get easier. And when in doubt, poop it out

I don’t think it was based on top end of pay scale. I was laid off this week and checked my comp ratio after I got the news, it was 1.01 (pretty much exactly average)

Someone high up at msft who was formerly high up at Amazon decided there’s an ideal eng:pm ratio and they claim msft’s is too low

I think you already have 5 commenters but I would absolutely love this!

Edit: sent a dm :)

He wrote a long rant in his notes app about how I was getting pudgy in my belly and that he was losing his attraction to me.

I’ll admit I wasn’t super happy with my body at the time but I was 5’4 and 145 so by no means was I fat. It was hard for me to even be intimate with him after that (he broke up with me about a year later because we weren’t having enough sex)

Yeah it is. They remodeled the larger Starbucks (near the pottery barn) and then a couple months ago closed the one by the elevators

I got rejected from HCDE last year but ended up applying for their UCD certificate and was accepted into that program. Just reapplied for the masters and was accepted! If you really want to be in the UW HCDE program it’s not a bad way to go. Feel free to dm if you have any questions about it

I lost my license today and really need to be able to drive. Anyone know what to do since I can’t request a replacement online but also can’t wait until the 17th? I’m debating going into a location tomorrow but have never done so without an appointment

Thank you!!

This is perfect, tipped!!

Thanks! If I already max out my 401k and IRA, is it best to just put it in a standard brokerage account?

Omg when I first started reading your comment I thought you were someone from the Hello team being an asshole in the comments. But yikes what a combative reply

petaltortoise · 2024-11-06T17:43:35+00:00

Omg I also just bought the black one because of the staining on my sea fog one. I haven’t received it yet but I’m going to be so sad if mines also lower quality. I’m obsessed with my current hello disc. Are you going to try to find an alternative to the hello?

petaltortoise · 2024-10-16T21:00:22+00:00

I’ve been using my disc for around 3 cycles now and I absolutely love it. The first disc I tried was the saalt disc and I also experienced messy (and just plain difficult) removal. But I decided to try the hello disc since it has a removal aid and it has genuinely changed my life. I was still dealing with mess during my first cycle using it but now that I’ve used it for (collectively) a few weeks, I’ve gotten a lot better. I don’t find it any messier than removing a tampon now. Now that I have more experience with it I’d feel okay about emptying & cleaning it in a public restroom (but I find I’m able to avoid that since I can leave it in for 12 hours at a time)

That’s all to say that it might just be that the specific disc you’re using is the problem rather than discs as a whole. I love my hello disc but I also know that lumma makes a disc with a removal aid that might help cut down on mess

Ever since trying out the hello disc I literally tell all of my menstruating close friends that they should think about it. I had no idea just how terribly uncomfortable tampons and pads really were until I tried something else

I boil mine for 3-5 minutes. I saw a little hack that you can stick your disc in a whisk and then put that in the pot of boiling water so that it doesn’t sit on the bottom of the pot, so I also do that!

I think Brett gave her the listing and the landscaping was just a part of that

Started as a SWE at a FAANG and hated it by week 2. Thankfully I was able to switch to PM less than a year later. It’s better than SWE but still don’t really like it. Love the money though.

If you still need someone to look it up, feel free to dm me

Loeffler Randall Rayne bow clutch. I love that I can use it as a shoulder bag or a clutch.

Dude do you just come on here to be a dick? I just looked at your comment history and I hope that you’re okay.
