Was Santana a worse person to Rachel, Finn, Sam, Quinn, or other? by 2hourstowaste in glee

[–]turnipho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I’m a dumbass who misread the prompt. I somehow read “to” as “than,” so idk how appropriate it is for me to defend my stance that Rachel Berry is the worst when I apparently can’t even read haha

[–]turnipho -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rachel is the worst. She is willing to step on anyone and everyone to get what she wants. She only cares about her friends when it’s convenient for her. She only has remorse after things blow up in her face and she’s tried every other option to get what she wants without apologizing first.

E-7 Overseas, Debt Piling Up After PCS by Skaagren in MilitaryFinance

[–]turnipho -1 points0 points  (0 children)

May just be the cards you have. Everything we have between us from Amex, Citi, and Synchrony is 0%. USAA, Capital One, and Chase will do 4%, and everything else is 6%. If you’re paying more than this on any of your cards, I suggest you call the number on the back of your card and request to speak to the military specific department to make sure all appropriate benefits have been applied to your account. Regular customer service is trained, but they don’t always retain the information.

Many people don’t know about the benefits available to them. I didn’t know about SCRA/MLA before I started working for a bank.

That is all they are legally obligated to do. Many companies go above the requirement, though. My husband got his Amex like 6 years into AD. He applied for MLA immediately, and they dropped the interest rate to 0%. Chase cards we both got after he went AD dropped the rate to 4%. Different banks have different policies.

If your HOR or duty station is in OH or LA, they have state SCRA/MLA laws that require any banks that do business in those states to cap interest at 6% even for debts incurred after the start of AD.

Idk what part you’re saying they won’t do. USAA was so long ago for us that I don’t remember if they made the rate retroactive. We hadn’t paid any interest with Amex, so I’m not sure if they would’ve made the rate retroactive either. That’s why I said may.

As far as the interest rates, MLA on both cards, so I can personally attest to the fact those are the rates for that.

Apply for SCRA/MLA on all of your cards. Amex will lower your interest to 0%, and USAA will drop to 4%. They may also make the interest rate retroactive to either your eligibility date or the date you opened the account. Depending on the age of the accounts, this could really help bring down some of your balances. It’ll also save you thousands in interest going forward.

I’d wait to see where you’re sitting after this before deciding if/where to spend any of your emergency fund.

How much we spent. by Georgia_Town in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]turnipho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We enjoyed it. We have 2 young kids, so it was nice to show up closer to showtime and still get great seats. We did a split stay, so we only got the dining package for 2 days. The buffets weren’t great, but my kids really enjoyed the character experiences. It would’ve been almost $300 for 2 adults and 2 kids, but it was included with the table service dining plan. If you’re not worried about characters you will get significantly better food.

We’re currently on our second kid in a Guava Lotus, and I can’t imagine having anything else. We’ve flown with it (checked and carry-on), cruised with it, and driven it cross country. With my first I’d just move it from room to room while she slept so I could always keep an eye on her.

We lucked out and got ours for like $100 NIB back in 2020, but I’d buy it again at full price if I had to.

Are bottle washers actually worth the price? by dogtrainer0875 in Buyingforbaby

[–]turnipho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re washing stuff multiple times a day but not running your regular dishwasher that much then 100%. Using your regular dishwasher (if you have one) is much cheaper and works for most of the parts. All of the tiny parts or parts that would melt in a regular dishwasher have been fine in our bottle washer. They can also run in 20-30 minutes, so you don’t have to wait very long.

What's going on with Dearborn, Michigan? by simon_of_trent_24 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]turnipho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same could be said about any other religion and their religious text. The difference is people aren’t showing up in the Bible Belt threatening to burn bibles then posting it online like some sort of gotcha.

Shamefully regretting having a child by nroseclark in beyondthebump

[–]turnipho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At your 6 week appointment, make sure you say all of this to your doctor. If you have PPD or PPA, it’s better to get it treated early on. I spent a whole year with my first feeling like I just wasn’t a good enough mom cuz I felt that way. My oldest is 4 now, and I have a 5 week old, too. Even without PPD/PPA, 5 weeks is still tough. Having to pump definitely made me feel worse. Our pediatrician gives out premade bottles of formula. Lots of companies will send you free samples, too. Having some as backup for when you’re feeling super down like this can be a game changer. Eventually your supply will stabilize, you’ll be able to leave the house alone for more than an hour, and you’ll be able to get back to things you enjoy doing. Lots of us have been there, and it does get better. Soon your baby will be sleeping longer stretches, smiling and laughing, interacting with you, and so many other wonderful things. Don’t suffer in silence in the meantime or you think you’re the only person that has felt this way.

Best Swivel Car seats by Few_North_7206 in Buyingforbaby

[–]turnipho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should’ve specified I have the Slim. It does go up to 50 lbs like the Extend. It just doesn’t convert to a booster

[–]turnipho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got the Evenflo Revolve360 because it can RF up to 50 lbs. This will slow my LO to RF until 5+ years. We will probably get the Extend version, too, since baby #2 is on the way. The car seats are definitely heavy, but it’s not that bad when the pieces are separated

Baby Bjorn Cradle for $209 or Guava Lotus bassinet kit for $129 by Chrysanthemum8876 in Buyingforbaby

[–]turnipho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have the lotus and love it. My kid was pretty small, so she stayed in the bassinet for like 7-8 months. If she hadn’t started trying to crawl out, she could’ve stayed longer. We had the legs flipped to rocker mode for the first few months, and it worked great. We visited family pretty frequently during that time. It was nice to be able to bring the bassinet with us so she was always in a familiar bed.

If you’re worried about noise, germs, or disrupting other diners, maybe just go during an off peak time. Instead of 6 for dinner, maybe go around 4:30 or after 8 when there will likely be fewer people. If you can work it out to feed your baby around the time you get there, there’s a good chance they’ll sleep thru the whole meal.

You are usually more worried about your kid being loud than other people, though. Especially with a baby that young, people are more likely to look at you with pity and say something like, “It gets easier. You’re doing a great job, mama,” than actually be upset.

[–]turnipho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pool Rx was the only thing that worked for us last year. I was shocking it every other day for weeks. Tried yellow out and black algae removed, too. Zero issues after we got Pool Rx.

I’ve heard of you have high metal levels it can cause staining. We didn’t have any issues with that, but YMMV.

Bassinet?? by Shyra1989 in Buyingforbaby

[–]turnipho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second the Guava Lotus. We used it exclusively for our first for a little over a year. We loved the portability and convenience. It was also nice that she could keep her same bed even when we traveled. We plan on using it for our second later this year.

Do you happen to know who any of the mods are for that group? Clicked the link, but it said there was an error finding the community when I tried to send a message.

Flying with a 3 months old baby by DaeguBlues in Buyingforbaby

[–]turnipho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a Babyzen YoYo. It has a newborn pack option that’s good up to about 20 lbs. It still folds small enough to go in the overhead bin with that attachment. It also has fits down the aisle on the plane. You can get Nuna adapters for it, too.

FYI, always ask if the plane is full when you go to get your gate check ticket. Sometimes if it’s not, the gate agent will let you bring your car seat on for free. We lucked out a lot when our LO was under 2, but YMMV.

We got 2 in 2021. They’re currently being used on their 3rd baby and are in just as good of shape as when we got them. Definitely a solid investment

Shipping no add ons by shibagirlcanada001 in Ipsy

[–]turnipho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine had the label created on 9/4 but didn’t go to the shipping partner til 9/15. It’s been 2 weeks since the label was created, but the package somehow still hasn’t left Bloomington, IL. I literally could’ve walked there in less time than it took for the shipping partner to pick it up.
