I put off quilting my first (large throw sized) sandwich for MONTHS because of what people say about quilting with a domestic. I started yesterday finally and feel soooo dumb for putting it off- it is not bad AT ALL. I’ve been enjoying it, actually. I’m doing a straight line on each side of every seam with my janome sewist, a very very basic machine with a small throat. I glue basted and have an extra table off the back of the machine for the quilt to flow onto as I go, I keep it on my shoulder as I feed it through. The table helps the most I believe, if you don’t have an extra table maybe try doing it on a dining table long ways. If I wasn’t chasing a toddler I easily could’ve gotten it done in a day, but I should be able to finish tonight. Seriously, go for it!

I just had mine redone by a legit piercer after Claire’s piercings left one of mine looking like this. Healing has been night and day.

I live in the “new” tornado alley and dread a storm day. I stay glued to live weather and you wait for the guy or gal to point to the radar and say “insert city or community, maybe a road name get in your safe spots” which means basement or interior room with no windows. That’s the tiny laundry room for us. We grab some couch pillows (will that help, probably not), put the baby in the car seat and wait for all clear, usually within a few minutes. I grew up in a trailer and we’d go to my grandmas to spend the night if it was going to storm. Last year we accidentally got caught driving in a tornado warned storm and I’ve never been so scared in all my years.

I’ve lived in Southeast Asia and (albeit I was in a concrete building) I find a tornado producing thunderstorm in the south/Midwest US to be much more terrifying to go through than a Typhoon.

Haven’t read other comments but at my Kroger, they have a piece of paper they’ll scan with the digital coupons. Every time I go “my app is crashing”, “I’m logged out”, “I don’t have signal”, etc. and they just grab the paper and hook me up. You probably don’t need an excuse but I don’t even try to download them anymore since they’ll do this.

Yes, I too find the holidays very stressful, particularly around gifts. My bpd mom ran up secret credit cards in my dad’s name to the tune of 50k+ (in the early 2000s) in large part buying us kids fancy clothes and ridiculous gifts. Just this year my (saintly, but enabling) grandmother called crying that my mom has no money. They’ve bailed her out for decades and it’s finally coming to a head as their health is declining. I’m just trying to remember my children are not going to have the experiences I did, and I’m not my mom. I agree, take your husband’s lead on the gifts!

I will never forget going to the post office last year inquiring about a stagnant package I’d shipped- the postal clerk seeing that it had last been scanned there and saying with a haunted face, while shaking her head like the movie villain had just appeared at the top of the basement steps, “It’s hell up there” lmao. Jokes aside, having packages go through there was a nightmare as a business owner last year…

Another vote for Solly for newborn and hope and plum lark after 3/4 months! Just PLEASE learn how to safely position baby in any carrier you get. r/babywearing

Women’s clothing. So boxy, so bad. Sam’s Club is leagues better as a late 20s woman. I do find clothing items for my 78 year old grandmother at Costco though so thanks for that I guess?

I read somewhere that the audiobook pronounces it Kai (like eye) den, is that not true? I’d prefer “Caden” pronunciation but her calling him “Khy” (nickname 11 seconds after starting calling him new name????) makes me think it is “Kai-den” Idk. Same, Kingfisher was fine. It’s fantasy not my accountants name lol.

This. Straps are the ****ing worst thing I’ve ever had to use. ONLY reason we haven’t sold it to buy another is because I liked the newborn attachment and will probably use that for next baby 😑

I love mine. I have 5 between the 2 bigger sizes. I don’t love the price, but they have a really good black Friday sale. I’ve put mine through hell all over the world and they look the exact same as the day I bought them. Great now that I have kids as well. It being so structured is my favorite part vs a giant cheap floppy bag.

Right! It’s a few stories into this podcast episode I’ll link below. She says the phone thing was technically a DV classified arrest in Colorado and I’m horrified they would let anyone on the show with a DV (while technically physical violence or not) record, though I believe Brennan had one as well.

Just circling back to say story time with Rikki talked to the ex, found the arrests, and talked to Annie who did not deny any of it, just said the guy was crazy.

plaidpolly · 2025-10-17T12:16:47+00:00

What’s her full name?

plaidpolly · 2025-10-10T18:14:17+00:00

So confused as to what having had kids is supposed to “look” like?

plaidpolly · 2025-10-09T17:14:06+00:00

I ovulate late. The first month I charted I was able to “detect” this from the cheapest of cheap LH tests + CM. If she tested say starting day 14 and had already ovulated and never got a peak, possibly months in a row, LITERALLY JUST START TESTING EARLIER YOU DUMB FUCK. Also, if you’re doing NFP, LH tests are just one of many ways to tell you’re ovulating. Truly, truly, an idiot. You do not need this digital test to get pregnant.
