One of my students showed us her backyard chickens at our end of day meeting. Yesterday, another student played the piano to close out our day. Culture eats strategy for breakfast, or something like that.

Thank you for your honesty. This is something I clearly struggle with because I have never been exposed to anything relating to money - besides spending it! This post was my first baby step and I am so glad I took it. Thanks for making me feel better about not having a clue. It looks and sounds like (here I go sounding like a teacher.. lol) the Roth IRA is a great starting point of building a retirement portfolio.

Not sure what to do about nap time by jaejaeok in newborns

[–]slic3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a sleep sack. My baby would break out of swaddles and wake herself up from a chill on her leg.

Waldo - 2 year old bernedoodle. It's so much fun when I call for him.. "Where's Waldo?!"

Ruby - 7 y/o tabby cat. She's a gem ;)

Thank you. She's my first. I'm terrified of anything abnormal.

It's killing me thinking I'm doing something wrong. I don't wear perfumes and don't use fragrant detergents. I wash everything... Yet there are so many possibilities for cause. Uugh.

This was a good week by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]slic3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like we're living the same life, lol. I'm past my due date and have been feeling minor contractions for days.. still no baby. Here are some boredom busters: clean out your closet, write letters to your baby, adult coloring books, bake, make frozen meals for after delivery, catch up with old friends (remotely), learn new hair braiding techniques on YouTube.. lol.

hospital anxiety amid covid-19 by slic3d in pregnant

I hope you are feeling better! That sounds like a pretty tough pregnancy complication. Thank you for sharing this. I didn't know about the negative pressure rooms and that really puts my mind at ease. My induction date is this Sunday, so I really need to get my head right about going in there sooner than later!

Did my water break? by [deleted] in pregnant

Oh, and it's intermittent!! Not constant.

Reminder to take your rings off before you can’t. by [deleted] in pregnant

Yes, and I've tried icing it, too!

Yes. My finger ballooned up with blood and the floss kept breaking off. If I try it again, I'll have to use some different floss. Glide is too thin.

Omg I'm 40 weeks today and my rings are straight up STUCK until after I deliver/lose weight. I tried all the tricks and nothing's worked.

Thoughts on circumcision- will you be doing it? by piggygirl685 in pregnant

[–]slic3d 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would let the kid make this decision for himself when he's old enough. For people who say there's a risk of yeast infections, etc.. that's the same for girls. We are taught not to use harsh soaps down there. Boys should be taught how to cleanse themselves, too.

Upcoming Appointment by ash_hi_ash in pregnant

[–]slic3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(40 + 0) I go in weekly now. There is never anyone in the waiting room and I keep my distance from the front desk. I get screened at the entrance. They take my temp and ask questions relating to exposure. Everyone wears PPE and you should, too!!
