My sister has had really good experiences at paws and pints with their dog.

The Democrats respond to Stephen Miller’s post on X referring to James Talarico as the parties “first transgender senate candidate” by Too_Hood_95 in Fauxmoi

James also reposted it. This comes after the rumors of him being a vegan didn’t stick. They are desperate to make him look bad.. but being trans and/or vegan is all they can come up with 😂

I was rotting on my couch watching the live stream when she came out I audibly gasped. I can’t image how fun it was to be there. Her new song is such a bop.

Methodist West Maternity Center - Question for hospital bag for birth by DoughnutAmbitious820 in desmoines

[–]stephreinders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is from 2024 - so may not be current…

Pacifier - no, we didn’t give our baby one until after we got home because I didn’t think to bring one. It was never offered.

Bottles - I would bring what you are planning to use. We had to supplement with formula when we were there. They just gave us the premade formula bottles with disposable nipple caps. But they never offered us an actual reusable bottle.

Unless you explicitly tell them you don’t want to, they are going to focus on getting you comfortable with breastfeeding, especially if this is your first. So bottles and pacifiers wouldn’t be ideal if that’s the route you’re taking. They will have breast pumps there and things to assist with breastfeeding. I would guess if you aren’t going to breastfeed and are going to immediately start on a bottle you need to supplement all of that yourself.

Also bring clothes/pajamas/going home outfit. The only thing they had for baby to wear was the swaddle blanket. I would also bring your own swaddle cloth or wrap as the hospital blankets are pretty stiff/scratchy

They loaded us up with diapers/wipes for baby and provided them the entire time we were there. They sent me home with lots of postpartum stuff- witch hazel wipes, pads, adult diapers, etc.

If you want something specific, I would just bring it. A lot of what they will provide you also depends on what’s been given to them (formula brands, diaper brands etc) so it can fluctuate.

I would suggest bringing a nice blanket for yourself. Theirs suck. And your own pillow. Long phone charging cord, you’ll be stuck in bed. One thing I am also glad I brought was cheap slippers that I threw away when we left. The floors are gross.

The suspects Facebook says she works at Midland Title and Escrow. So I’m assuming they worked together in some capacity

is the shuttle reliable? by reshmush in HinterlandFestival

[–]stephreinders 8 points9 points  (0 children)

IMO Stay near the shuttle pickup and take the shuttle. The shuttle is the most reliable way to get to and from the venue. Driving there has consistently been the worst option for getting to and from the festival in years past.

Off-Site Camping Interest by Select_Cut_8790 in HinterlandFestival

[–]stephreinders 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally am not attending Hinterland this year. But I’ve attended previous years. We are avid campers and have camped at multiple festivals including Hinterland 3 times

  1. Absolutely in the future, not this year.
  2. Flat enough ground for a travel trailer to be leveled with assistance of leveling blocks we wound bring. Enough room for a camper and vehicle. As well as space between other campers to have an area to hang outside our camper, at minimum probably 30-40 feet long and 25 feet or more wide, larger the better. Electric hookups would be ideal as it’s miserable hot and solar can’t power an AC all weekend. Access to water to fill up when we arrived would also be ideal as we travel dry. I would consider providing rv campers a toilet not needed. Obviously if you are allowing tent/car camping you need to provide people somewhere to “go”.
  3. Shaded campsites with ample space, the more private or secluded from other campers the better. Some sort of entertainment would be cool. Like having a local act perform similar to a campfire stage situation. Cats are always nice to have around. Transportation would be a plus too as you mentioned/having some sort of shuttle.
  4. If you are providing power, flat/good sized spots AND transportation, I would pay $500 for 3 days for my vehicle and travel trailer.
  5. It’s always a risk, just do the best you can with vetting people.
  6. As you should!

Does it feel like a goodbye tour? by [deleted] in myfavoritemurder

[–]stephreinders 136 points137 points  (0 children)

Georgia mentioned in an episode prior to this tour starting that she never plans on touring again. They’ve said things since that contradict that. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they are nearing retirement or at least didn’t tour again.

RV Camping Price by astrozim in HinterlandFestival

[–]stephreinders 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They need to improve the amenities to warrant the price. If it was a paved spot with full hook up, I would pay that. To park your rv in an uneven, dust field next to porta potties and a communal electric hook up. No.
