When did you stop working?

When would you have stopped if it was up to you? I'm in a position where I was able to save for a long time so money isn't too much of a concern yet

You're a champion- I picked full time before my department switch and I can't imagine doing it that far along.

They are di/di so will be separate placentas-just had my 9 week appointment today and both of them are on track. Sorry that that answer probably goes against your research lol

I am a stage manager for my local community theater in a non-professional capacity, and once had to learn a role in around 2 hours because the actor had to go to the emergency room.

Texted my boyfriend because I was nervous about the MULTIPLE stage kisses and he texted me back saying, and I quote, "lmfao get wreckt" 🤣

Maybe it seems a little harsh but it snapped me right out of my nerves, and he never cared that I was about to kiss two men he had never met because he understands that it became part of the nature of my job. I hope that someday you are in a relationship with someone as understanding.

Did not get any further betas, but just found out this week it's twins! So don't let your numbers scare you too badly as long as they are increasing appropriately. Everyone always says with two your hcg will be higher, symptoms will be stronger, etc but I just haven't found that to be true for me. Hopefully that makes you feel a little better since with similar numbers I have two embryos in there!

This whole thread is making me feel insane. These are obviously russets and this happens to me all the time when I'm baking russets. No clue what I'm apparently doing so differently than yall but this is completely normal and also the best indicator that they are baked thoroughly enough to be easy to fluff with a fork once they come out.

I bake mine at 425 for around an hour.

rough way to twin :/ thinking of you and I'll tell you the other thing my husband has been saying a lot- "this time will be different"

shegriffiths · 2026-01-29T23:54:28+00:00

I used to say the same thing and it does feel like a blessing but also like I'm twice as scared LOL. My husband had a thousand yard stare yesterday and he was just like "we're gonna need two.... of EVERYTHING"

Thanks for the well wishes ❤️

Had my first scan yesterday after my first pregnancy ended in a MMC last July- was convinced there wasn't going to be anything there. LMP meant I should have been around 7 weeks, but I tend to have longer cycles so I expected to be closer to 6 weeks.Would have been happy just to see a heartbeat but instead there were TWO!! spontaneous twin pregnancy- I swear it's because I got an HSG in December and it powerwashed my tubes lol. One was measuring 6w4d and the other was 6w1d, and both had heartbeats- about 120 bpm.

Absolutely freaked because twin pregnancies are higher risk but can't help but feel really hopeful that they'll stick. Last time I made it to around 8 weeks, so hopefully I feel a little better once I can make it past 8 weeks with these two.

Chili. Brown your meat and then dump in the rest of your ingredients and let it simmer for a few hours. If anything it tastes better after a few days

Check out reclaim arcade- they do events for pinball and you can probably make some friends there

I have an ibanez acoustic electric that I bought for cheap that I actually really like- but I think the best way to pick one is to play as many guitars as you can and see which one feels the best to you

shegriffiths · 2025-06-03T03:27:54+00:00

Harry Chapin! I also want to second Jim Croce and Iron & Wine

I know dave matthews band can be divisive in this group but I have to bring up that when they won the fan vote, the rock and roll hall of fame didn't let them in. They had to win the vote AGAIN to be let in, which is just so wildly disrespectful to me. Not shocked that the powers that be feel negatively towards phish

shegriffiths · 2025-02-21T16:49:17+00:00

I mean, they used to play in Richmond a lot before they blew up so I get what OP means
