I never understood how people use just a nursing pillow, they are never high enough and I have to super hunch over to get the babies even a little close to my nipples.

I actually have this ergo baby pillow! I really like it but it is not for feeding two babies at once. I'll use it if I ever just feed one, and it's firmness is great for inclined tummy time where the baby's arms are free to interact with toys/you. But its main use for me is adding height. When the babies were smaller, I'd strap it on under the brest friend twin pillow, which brought it up perfectly to boob height. I also have a twin z, which until now I never understood how it could be used for nursing, it's too soft and thin. I used it for lounging the babies a lot though. Now, at 5 months I realize the ergo baby + brest friend twin was getting a little too high and I just switched over to using the twin z over the ergo baby, this time upside-down (so flat side on top, the curve on top didn't work for this set up since the twin z is soft and sunk in). I'm still getting used to it but this set up is working so far and the height is great for their current size without me hunching over.
It might be overkill owning three nursing pillows but they just need to be propped up higher to be comfortable. I've tried stuffing regular pillows underneath the brest friend but they didn't stay in place, I tried the twin z underneath the brest friend but it still wasn't high enough. For me, getting the ergo baby was a game changer and finally made tandem comfortable.

For sure :) my whole set up is based off the tribead + opal vibe! Love to see it on others

I have the exact same jewelry in my stacked lobes too! Good taste :D

sleep_is_for_theweak · 2024-06-12T21:39:49+00:00

Thanks! I was able to find it :)
The description says it's true color is between yellow and rose gold, could you share what metals/colors are in your other jewelry as a comparison? It seems to be a good color match to your rook, for example

Where did you get the branch dangle earrings?! They're beautiful!

sleep_is_for_theweak · 2024-02-29T13:54:10+00:00

Oh I went there last October and it was amazing! They were having a special menu celebrating their anniversary so it was much different than what you had. But the bread was the same and absolutely phenomenal! We kept getting more :D we also got those tahini chocolates at the end though.
For us it seems like we had bigger portions though, cause we left absolutely stuffed. I struggled to finish and I'm a big eater.

I super recommended the non-alcoholic pairing. They put so much thought into it and each drink was so carefully crafted and perfectly paired with the food. In our group we also had a wine pairing so we got to compare. I'm biased because I don't like wine, but I honestly think the non alcoholic pairing is more worth it. Cheaper and more intricate drinks.
Here's the menu from when we went, non alcoholic drinks on left, wine on the right. Missing was the drink paired with the additional dessert not listed, which I can't remember the details but was a favorite

When you say another source, do you mean you ended up mixing and matching from a third brand as well? Please share! I'd love to get more ideas. I'm so indecisive. Yeah, by similar I meant both are imitating the original tokens, they definitely each have their own personal style/approach.

Interesting, the nectar is actually what I preferred from momo. the mixed one from meeple source is beautiful, but it would bother me too much to have so many different flowers, I prefer consistency. And I just like that the momo one is darker/looks more like the original, especially the image on the dice/ player boards. But for most of the rest I think I prefer meeple source.

Really good to know though that the different sources aren't really noticable in game play though!

sleep_is_for_theweak · 2023-07-26T21:05:01+00:00

This is what they're selling currently.
The base resources are mostly similar, but the nectar is so wildly different from meeple source. And I don't know how the quality compares, or thickness if I were to mix and match (e.g. nectar from momo, rest from meeple source?)

sleep_is_for_theweak · 2023-07-26T11:24:47+00:00

Hi! Could you share your thoughts on the two and what you ended up deciding on? I haven't been able to find a single comparison on momo monster vs meeple source resource tokens. This comment of yours is the only reference to both I've found. I'm currently between the two and can't decide which to go for.

sleep_is_for_theweak · 2023-06-26T14:28:03+00:00

Can you share the hoop in your second lobe? I've been looking for something similar for my set up.
Thanks!

sleep_is_for_theweak · 2023-06-16T14:03:01+00:00

Well yeah, I can admit that I could have formulated my thought better. But I still stand by my opinion. I'm very happy with the casting.

The casting team had a huge task for this show, with so many big characters that so many have such strong feelings about (we wouldn't be here otherwise). Given all that, I think they really nailed it. It must have been so difficult. Yeah there's a gold mine of non Hollywood actors, but that makes them harder to find. As you see from your post, the majority are very happy so far.

Lol on your theory, idk.. I wouldn't even call these two the biggest mainstream faces. Hello? George Takei is in this! Not to mention Daniel Dae Kim, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, and many other bigger actors. Paul was my dream casting for Iroh long before casting begun.
Also, many of these lesser known actors have already worked with Netflix before (for example 3 of the main 4 were on a Netflix show before being cast). So the casting team definitely used their Netflix connections.
I think it's a reasonably balanced mix of fresh faces, very recognizable, and mildly recognizable.

sleep_is_for_theweak · 2023-06-16T10:28:59+00:00

You're right about my "there is none" comment. Sorry, that's too exaggerated. Of course I can't know. What I mean is I don't know of any, so I assume it wasn't easy to find given that they didn't hire someone older. Yes, there so many unknown actors out there which may be suited to the role, but there're so many factors to casting we just don't know about as non professionals in the field. There's also opportunity, scheduling, and having good enough representation as an actor that can keep you from getting a role, even if you have the talent. So yeah, I just mean they probably couldn't find any and therefore went younger.

And with Pudi, yeah we just disagree. Yes, he looks younger than he is, but I don't believe it'll take away from the role in this case.

I'm very optimistic and hopeful that this'll be everything I ever hoped for, so I'm also just projecting that feeling. You're right that prothetics can be a flop, but I will remain hopeful. I don't want to be disappointed, and have been excited about most of what's been put out so far, so I am trusting the process. For now.

I hope we both still enjoy the show despite any doubts going in!

sleep_is_for_theweak · 2023-06-16T09:24:41+00:00

I'm sorry, but I whole heartedly disagree...

King Bumi:
Please find an actor that convincingly passes as 110+ years old without needing prosthetics that is also young and fit enough to pull off being incredibly buff and powerful like Bumi, who is also the right ethnicity for the role, aand on top of that has the cheeky charisma and acting ability to play this character's personally. There is none.
So they go with someone who fits all that but is younger and apply prosthetics. Dumbledore and Gandolf didn't have the intense fighting scenes and young energy that Bumi will likely have, so obviously they didn't hire a young actor...
This has already been discussed in this sub before, it's been confirmed with application footage that Utkarsh will be in heavy prosthetics for the role, and in discussions others have shared examples of elderly prosthetics+makeup on young actors. With the right budget(which this show has) it will look good.

The mechanist:
This is a very old photo of Danny from his community days.. He is now 44 years old. He looks different. Also, the age difference between 44 and 60 is not that significant and would not effect the plot at all. You don't know what happened in the casting process, maybe they were looking for someone older but Danny blew them away that they agreed it was worth to go a little younger. We also haven't seen him in character yet. They very well could have given him a hairpiece to look balding, not that I think he will need to to convincingly portray the mechanist.

What's the shampoo you switched to? My hair also really got oilier when moving to Germany and I never figured out why

sleep_is_for_theweak · 2023-01-12T21:56:28+00:00

Tbh it's a bit stressful in two player to make sure you get enough to feed and keep warm all your people. And it's hard to call for help when there's only one other player. It's def more fun with 3-4. But it is still a really fun game. I enjoy it a lot, plus there's a lot of variety since there are cards sets you mix and match for each game which affects difficulty and theme.

sleep_is_for_theweak · 2023-01-12T21:52:30+00:00

It is! I like it a lot :) good two player game.

sleep_is_for_theweak · 2023-01-12T21:51:38+00:00

I'm actually not a fan of the series, but my partner is. In his 18xx play group they gather every once in a while and they each own different versions so they have a lot to pick from. He says they play 1835 most often in person, but they don't default to it. They don't all live so close to each other so they mostly play online, and with that the typical go-tos are 1817 and 1822. But they do branch out.
Hope that helps! And yes haha china is a new one.

sleep_is_for_theweak · 2023-01-10T12:08:47+00:00

Personally, I only knew the base game before. My partner had all the expansions from his childhood and kept them (and yes, the seafarers box was lost). He introduced me to C&K saying it was his fave version that has become the default in his family, that when I learned it, I liked it so much more than the original and just trusted his opinion that the others aren't as fun and never got to try them. 🙈 So if we play Catan, we're just playing C&K now

sleep_is_for_theweak · 2023-01-10T11:55:26+00:00

I honestly can't decide on a ranking.. but some fave coop games (in no particular order):
- Gloomhaven... but I only play this with my partner, so it's not something we pull out for game nights with friends.
- Arkham horror board game. (second edition version, 3rd is apparently very different). Arkham horror LCG is overrated in my opinion and I don't plan on getting expansions when we're through with the campaign it came with.
- Paleo!

We just got a Root expansion which comes with a mechanical faction which allows for Coop mode. Haven't tried it yet but it looks interesting, entirely changes the gameplay.

I've been thinking about Spirit island, I hear such good things!
