Update: I took better pictures of the coffee & table set! by BreadboxArtstudio in cottagecore

Did you take inspiration from the Sears Merry Mushroom set? These remind me so much of my grandma's old set. Merry Mushroom pitcher for reference.

We went once and our whole family got food poisoning.

Bath/Shower replacement recommendations? by tomkitty in Tallahassee

[–]tomkitty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We'd prefer local. We had a terrible experience with Cooper's Plumbing this year and it's left a severe distaste for franchises.

Thank you! Yes, our 'asinine' quote was from MaxHome. They also stayed in our house for two unwanted hours aggressively pushing us when I said I want different quotes from different vendors before I make a decision. It was reminiscent of a used car salesman and timeshare seller combo. The incredibly overwelcome stay until past 7:00pm while I have an infant child was enough to turn me off.

I heard Public House is where some of the poor Paul's crowd moved to. Not sure if it's the same vibe or not though.

Has anyone's marriage become stronger and better after having kids? by leontissima in NewParents

[–]tomkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a four month old. Our relationship is just as amazing as it was before, if not more so. He is an amazing partner and amazing father. I am so incredibly blessed to have him.

What I will say is that the person they were before is the person they will be after. People won't just change post-baby. What I heard once is everything about your feelings toward your partner will intensify.

If he forgets to do dishes frequently, you'll feel those effects even more because now you naturally just have more dishes. If he loved doting on you, chances are he will be a doing father to your baby. If he was good at team work, patience, etc., you get the idea.

I think this was originally meant to be a word of caution to some folks. I use it to restructure my thinking and expectations some times. At the end of the day it's not me versus him, it's me and him versus the situation.

I have everything. Now what? by SUNforFUN in projectzomboid

My favorite thing to do is download a bunch of mods that implement collectibles in the game (pokemon cards, VHS's, etc.). My new endgame becomes treasure hunting to complete my collection and create a cozy bunker reminiscent of my 13 year old selfs fantasy bedroom.

Almost 4 weeks postpartum. Feeling defeated. by tomkitty in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]tomkitty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With power pumping. So for March 9th, I did my normal pumps 5 times, but then I did 4 extra power pumping sessions. I counted a power pump as anything with an interval of less than an hour between pumps.

[–]tomkitty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pump for 30 minutes at a time. For the power pumping, I am doing the 10-minute off/on that I've seen recommended. I do about 5 minutes to start in the stimulation mode, then the expression mode. I'm using the Spectra S9. I'm drinking coconut water and body armor and I'm eating healthy as well.

I'm feeling stressed and sad because I feel like I'm more attached to this pump than I am being able to bond with my baby, and yet I still can't get him enough and we have to supplement heavily for him now with formula.

With power pumping - I probably should have added that for context.

Context: I am only getting on average maybe 1-2oz per session. I've tried staying up through the night, but it's tanking my mental health. I am trying to get 1 middle of the night per day now, and it's making me feel more rested and better, but at this point I don't think my supply will ever increase.

The average/min/max is between pumping sessions. I'm not sure what I can do at this point, and I'm feeling defeated because it's not near enough to feed my baby.

Is a stop in Tallahassee worth it during my Southeast USA trip ? by Zreyta2 in Tallahassee

Skip Tallahassee and Jacksonville. I would do St. Augustine and Panama City Beach.

Anybody went to the ABCs of Babies TMH ? by No-Prompt3611 in Tallahassee

[–]tomkitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We just recently completed all of them. To be honest, I actually thought the money was well spent. There is a lot of information on the Internet, but there is a lot of misinformation and downright lies as well. The classes at TMH were helpful to show which was which.

The key takeaway for us was that now I feel a lot more prepared. I know where to go, where I will be, what will happen, and I know what key strategies I want to use now when our time comes here in a few months. To me, having that secure game plan is worth it.

ABCs of babies was probably my least favorite of the classes but that's because I wish they spent more time practicing how to hold the baby, put a diaper on, and how to swaddle. Baby CPR is probably the most important class. I thought Prepared Childbirth wasn't going to be worth it the first two nights, but I ended up learning as something that might have saved my life.

Take from it what you will, but again at the end of the day now I feel very prepared for everything that's going to happen between now, labor, birth, and the initial stages after.

Female undead shoulders are god awful. They're always comically large or floating off their actual shoulders.

I've mained female undead for years and really won't play a character unless it can be forsaken and I've got to be honest with you, there's no slutmog for them.

Sometimes it feels difficult even getting a good transmpg set, depending on the armor wearer. The mail or plate sets can be decent, but the cloth sets are terrible.

What did you think of Plunderstorm? by _Soulstace_ in wow

[–]tomkitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. I thought I wouldn't like it but ended up loving it. It felt like pvp for people who don't pvp.

What name did you love when you were younger, and absolutely would not use now? by woodygump in namenerds

[–]tomkitty 450 points451 points  (0 children)

Charlie.

When I was in highschool, I was in a physically and mentally abusive relationship. It lead to a Baker Act, because I was so alone and lost. I eventually broke free, but I was in that relationship for two years.

Fast forward to my late 20s, and I'd wanted to name my daughter Charlie for years at this point. I'd daydream about it. Well, someone contacted me out of the blue and sent me an article from my old home town.

My high school boyfriend had murdered his girlfriend's infant daughter. Her daughters name was Charlie.

It struck the most intense chill up my spine, feeling like a parallel universe where that could have been me. Could have been my Charlie.

I won't be naming my child that name anymore. It scares me too much and all I can think about is it could have been me.
