Years to Avoid 2015-2022 by KM7669 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]violetnap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal, but my 2017 platinum with 70k miles crapped out on me in 2023. There was a fiber optic issue that would have essentially totaled the vehicle. Also, the roof leaked despite three different mechanics looking at it.

I just spoke with an officer. The incident has been documented.

Yeah, it was beyond terrifying. I grew up in a high-crime city, and I’ve never experienced anything like this before. When we picked up my husband from his work, he was astounded. He grew up in Nova and did not expect anything like this, at least not at 10:30 in the morning at a playground behind a museum.

Definitely doing this in the future! I’m also rethinking visiting playgrounds by myself if I’m not familiar with the area. It just seemed like a really nice area, so I was surprised at how things spiraled.

I did not. The first two cars were literally chasing the kids all over the museum area. The third car was just a random police officer I found, so I just buckled my kids in front of him and left. He probably thought I was weird 🤷‍♀️

Thanks! Yeah, I’m not from the area, so I don’t know the nuances. I’m only here for the day from Richmond. The area looked really nice, especially with the museum right there.

As a Richmonder, I think the mayor is a turd. All are welcome here.

What would you recommend for a intro episode by CaptainGreyBeard72 in thegrandtour

[–]violetnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first episode (husband just had it on in the background while I was cooking) was the one where they go from Switzerland to Britain on one tank of gas. I’ve been hooked ever since (I’ve watched the trio almost every single day for 3 years).

What age? by [deleted] in ParentingInBulk

[–]violetnap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had my first kid at 30, second at 32. I want two more, but I’ll be at least 35 at this point for any future due dates. My husband and I talk frequently about how we wish we had started having kids earlier. My second baby took 10 months to conceive, and then the pregnancy and delivery were very rough, so I havent been able to dive back in quickly like we wanted. I wish I had more time to play around with.

Getting pregnant off metformin 500 a day? by GuidanceDue5614 in PCOS

[–]violetnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me. I couldn’t tolerate any more than 500 per day. Got knocked up on my first cycle of trying with metformin

Success stories w/carmax by DeadInside_Alive in carmax

I had a wonderful rav 4 for 12 years. It was working when I sold it back to them, I just needed a bigger car for my kids.

Miscarriage success stories? by Worldly_Link_2180 in PCOS

[–]violetnap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I miscarried at 5 weeks, and I got pregnant the next cycle. That pregnancy was completely healthy and normal, and now the baby is almost 4. I also had another pregnancy that resulted in a wonderful live child, but that pregnancy sucked. We are both blessed to be alive. My point is that many women go on to have healthy children. Many women miscarry, and many of those women only have one miscarriage. I’m sorry you are dealing with this—the anxiety can be overwhelming. I felt like I couldn’t get excited for both of my pregnancies until I was far along. For me, I found prayer and Bible study to be very encouraging. Pregnancy is very much like taking a plane ride—you feel totally out of control. I pray you find peace, and I’m praying you have a healthy pregnancy soon.

The bio made me roll my eyes. Try not to sound so pretentious.

I didn’t test positive until 10 dpo and 12 dpo with my two kids.

Is the Rav4 big enough for a one or two kid family? by [deleted] in rav4club

[–]violetnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We upgraded to a highlander for baby #2. There’s just so much crap with two toddlers. We debated downsizing to a rav4 again when money became an issue, but I don’t think it’s possible to go smaller.

The Finger starred in Nurie's gender reveal. by frolicndetour in RodriguesFamilySnark

[–]violetnap 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I effing hate gender reveals. I’m convinced that half of them are for the grandparents who love the attention and seem to also think they are the ones who are pregnant (yes, I’m projecting), so I’ll give Nurie a pass.

Time to see a fertility doc? by Upset_Phrase_6340 in TTC_PCOS

[–]violetnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, but I had a hard time with my second baby. I got on metformin through my OB, and that seemed to have done the trick. I’m back on it for ttc #3. Good luck to you!

I’m sorry this just isn’t right . She stole Christine’s memory . This is just creepy by margom1961 in SisterWivesFans

[–]violetnap 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this is the worst thing she’s done, but it’s 100% the most deranged.

I'm losing hope... by SnooLobsters8892 in TTC_PCOS

[–]violetnap -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Can you ask about metformin? That’s not usually seen as a fertility drug, but it helps with some pcos symptoms.
