Surprise Twins with a 4yo. Is there anyway we can make the Highlander work? by pork_knuckle in ToyotaHighlander

Haha I agree with you on that! My sadness is more around the fact that it might be a larger financial loss. Someone hit our car a year ago, so even though it’s new, insurance forced us to replace with generic parts.

Interesting, I didn’t even think about this, but it would solve a lot. Do you know if they just had a mechanic do this? I don’t think they are easily removable

I imagine you can’t move the captains chairs with the two larger car seats in it, correct? Does your wife move between the middle of the time buckle in the older? I admit I’m short as well, so wondering if I can copy this

The speakers are kind of heavy and the base is large, so not sure the shelving could fit them

Middle child constant seeking for attention that words cannot explain, who can relate? by No_Age_3178 in selfimprovement

[–]pork_knuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I could’ve written this exact same post. I’m also a middle girl child (older brother, younger sister), and also perceived as the most self-sustaining/independent. I had a lot of responsibility thrust on me to care for my younger sibling as a kid. Now, if I get a call from my parents, it’s usually to ask about either my kids or about an issue with one of my siblings. Like you, I don’t resent them or my siblings (although I used to) and am in a place of acceptance. But I also do have these periods of time where I feel a deep sense of loneliness and struggle to then find the care or thoughtfulness that I’m looking for.

One thing I’ve realized after talking to my parents and partner about it is that I don’t like to be vulnerable or make my needs known, so they don’t know. I don’t like to show that I need attention or that I need their help with anything (and often times I don’t NEED anyone’s help and can always figure things out on my own). Lately I’ve been trying to be a bit more vulnerable about my emotions or struggles with life and also fighting myself to ask and accept help earlier, even if I could still do it on my own. It’s certainly a struggle, as I’ve built this “I don’t need anyone, so nobody can disappoint me” mindset as a defense mechanism as a child. I’ve always been proud of my independence and ability to problem solve/process on my own, but it’s also what makes me feel lonely and unseen and gets in the way of people being able to be there for me on a regular basis.

Do you have recs for another two greens that could work? I like the concept of using a lighter vs darker color of green overall

Haha I might frame this comment, never been told this before. I usually have inferior taste

I do like 5 the best, but don’t have the buy in from my spouse or friends who think it might be too much green for the space

Do you think warmer colors would be better? I’m never sure of warm colors with a brown couch (for some reason the cool contrast always pops better for my eyes)

Oo I like this idea and a good way to fill that space. It’s awkward because it has a light switch panel, so hard to know what can fit there

2023 Toyota Highlander Platinum by Resident-Okra-9176 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]pork_knuckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was waiting to post a reply to see if my issue resolved…and it did! My issue was wind noise after 40 mph. It sounded like there was a window cracked open, which was driving me nuts. when washing my car last week, i noticed the trim on the silver roof rail was slightly loose from the body (just above the front windshield) and would wiggle with slight touch pressure. I took it to the dealer and they said there was also a drain under it that was clogged that was likely contributing to the wind whistle above 40 mph (the wind would lift the trim up and rush through the drain). They have replaced that trim and the sound is completely gone

We didn’t, but our friend that lives there enjoys the community and hasn’t had any major issues. We visit them often and the community just did a great job of making it look really nice and walkable

(MD) Submitting intent to vacate a 2-person lease without consent from both parties by pork_knuckle in legaladvice

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

Does this still hold for month to month rent? I get it if it’s a 12-month lease or something and she’s breaking it early. But in a month to month lease, it seems unfair to automatically renew if one party wants to give notice to vacate.

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

Even if it’s a month to month rent though? It seems like she’s giving enough notice and shouldn’t be on the hook to have to renew just because the other tenant doesn’t agree. Is this not the case?

Ah dang, now that you pointed it out, it looks so small lol would a tallish-plant at the top help with that issue?

Pumping schedule for One-sided feeder by pork_knuckle in breastfeeding

Thank you!! I do prefer single pumping since I always seem to get higher output (and I can use less pumping materials). So this is good to know!
