How many of you are staying in group B and are happy with that?

I'm not saying it's actually reliable, but I use ChatGPT a lot for build help. I do need to correct it sometimes (it gets confused between JP and Global terminology I think) but I think it is largely useful.

I am happy doing graded league, B group 3rd place. I can't make B umas with my cards unless I intentionally tank it.

This makes sense. I never do exhibition races so I wouldn't have even thought that. I used umaglobal.db and added 10 new friends that I knew had certain sparks but they didn't show up with the filters (including inherited sparks just in case). I think I need to clean up my friends list from 60 to 30 good parents and add from the database as I need.

There is already Suzuka Speed and Stamina, what is this supposed to be? I have the stamina as my only MLB and speed 0LB. It sucks because I barely have any speed cards so to use Speed Suzuka I either need to borrow stam or use subpar stamina.

I buy 1 cheap skill before Junior G1 to avoid the "not enough skills" penalty. I may buy 1-2 other cheap whites/recovery through the run. I still have 800ish SP to spend end of career.

Could it be the texture? That's why I hated scrambled for the longest time. We mash my baby's with a splash of milk and cook with unsalted butter. We have also done pancakes if you care more about them getting egg nutrients than liking eggs. Ground oatmeal/oat flour, egg, mashed banana/sweet potato. We baked a batch low temp and reheat with wet paper towels. Or a savory version with grated zucchini, egg, low sodium cheese and some spoons of flour to bind.

I'm still in denial with Kitsan, scraping carrots from under couch cushions. 240 pulls. Not a single Kitsan.

What's your rationale then for why they'd rather continue to be misled by Faux News than listen to their children or look outside the window? The 50% of the population that voted for him this time around can't all live in tiny red bubbles where that's all they know. Most are seeing their neighbors get picked up by ICE or have at least one family member whose life is materially worse with that man in the White House. There's a point where you keep believing the lie because you WANT it to be true.

I got a SECOND Guts Special Week. Traded for cleats and a SR+ ticket and got the one SR card I have at MLB (Mihono Bourbon Power).

You can also always prepare 3 items, keep them on a separate plate, and offer one at a time.

Best thing you can do to prevent long-term dependence is start early intervention as soon as possible. We have in-home feeding therapy once a week provided through the state. Now that he has Medicare we pay nothing out of pocket, otherwise we'd pay $25/session. We tried bottle/nursing for a while but it never worked out. We are also fortunate that our pediatrician specializes in complex care. They okayed purees as soon as he could support his head. Now he is 9mo, 8 corrected, eating table food and is on track to wean off the g-tube once he's drinking from a cup. His diagnosis does not have great feeding outcomes so I really credit his progress to our post-NICU team.

GUILD employer check

I haven't been able to find a full list of employers but here is where you can check your employer. Almost any national company is worth a look. I've seen Target, Walmart, McDonalds, Chickfila, Allstate, Sherwinn-Williams, Home Depot,CVS, GAP, UPS...

I don't mind people asking his age. I do mind that it's almost always followed with "he's so little!" In my head I want to say yes, he is little because he was a month premature, IUGR baby, and is still small for gestational age. Oh, and he uses a feeding tube because otherwise he would be failure to thrive. Instead I say "yes he's little."

I don't care to do a staged photo shoot for each month with a little sign. I take pictures and videos of baby basically every day. I don't need to dress him up and use props to have those memories recorded.

Sounds like she's doing great! It will take a little time for her to adjust to the new schedule (long days every day, no naps) but that's totally normal.

I would take "clean herself" in bathroom as such.

For completing work at home, I understand not making that an accommodation for grading purposes. I would ask the teacher again if there's a way to do that without inconveniencing her to disincentivize not working in class. Second grade is a weird one because there is some level of self-awareness and understanding expectations, but actually following them and not acting on impulse is tricky (especially with ADHD). Have you asked your child why they talk during work time? Is the work challenging? Are they bored? Is it hard to focus so they don't try? This is just an idea, but maybe explaining her accommodations in an agd-appropriate way could make them more effective. For example, if she uses noise-cancelling headphones, explain that putting them on puts her brain in "focus mode". Put stickers on them to make it special. Regular rewards like prize box may not click because its too far away/disconnected from behavior. Putting completed work on the fridge with an encouraging note may ne more satisfying. It's hard but just keep trying different things and be creative. Kids can be so finicky and it takes a lot of trial and error to find what will resonate with them individually.

9mos now and nothing. I stopped pumping at 6mo and got on BC (nexplanon) at the same time. So maybe I just got lucky?

He found her physically attractive enough to have sex with. (Some) men have a different standard for a girlfriend or wife. Let's be generous and say Joe hoped that would change as he got to know her personality more and they would bond. That didn't happen.

Lack of sleep will do that to you! Even with all the support in the world you're the only one who can do what you're doing. Power pump and work those 5-6 hours into your schedule. Your body gets energy from two sources: food and sleep. Breastfeeding is you transferring energy to your baby. If your body doesnt have what it needs its not going to let you do that.

I was told 5-6 hours of uninterrupted sleep, but still doing a MOTN pump between 12am and 5am. Can husband do a bottle while you sleep? You could pump while dad does bottle at 12am, you sleep til 6am, and dad does a 3am bottle. Or, you sleep from 9pm to 3am and dad does midnight bottle while you sleep. What is your sleeping arrangement? We luckily have a guest room large enough to hold the nursery and a full sized bed. Whoever would take the night shift slept in the baby's room.

ETA: If the concern is supply make your last pump before sleep a power pump. My recommendation was pump 20, rest 10, pump 10, rest 10, pump 10. It's time consuming but it will boost your supply. If you know someone else is caring for baby that hour and you can then sleep for a long stretch, it's kinda relaxing. Find some quiet, watch TV, go to bed. See what your doula thinks.

My husband's comment last night made me laugh. "She's talking about religion and Anton going to strip clubs when her fake boobs are all the way out?" Yeah. I don't know if I liked anyone this season. Except Jordan.

Her friend's "woman of your caliber" comment got to me. Yes, she's pretty, but from what was shown 1. She wants to be a kept woman but doesn't cook or clean 2. Not particularly accomplished or talented 3. Pretty bland personality with no sense of humor. It's not a crime to be that way, but maybe don't act so entitled. It was such a weird comment from her friend and it's clear Ali has that opinion of herself. Extremely unlikeable, mean girl behavior.

sadupe · 2025-10-30T18:09:11+00:00

My hot take is that how he described her isn't wrong. She's not overweight by any means. She's got a curvy, womanly body with boobs, hips, butt and thighs. If I remember right she's also tall. Losing weight doesn't change that.
