It’s a common word in colloquial English writing. Terry Pratchett, when he’d write Nanny Ogg, would use that spelling exclusively.

I used to sing to drown them out so *I* wouldn’t go nuts. Not to comfort them. To comfort them I would have to “SHHHHH” really loud in one ear while covering the other. My son is ASD and it was the only thing that worked for ambulance sirens for a long time. And we live a block away from a hospital. Now he sings the…

That’s when you buy some lube or “dusting powder” and call it a day.

There are a couple things from them I love. The microwave cooking pots are great. And the cut’n’seal to make your own uncrustables. Actually, a lot of their under $10 kitchen tools are the bomb. Overpriced, but still under $10. And when I go to a pampered chef party I can then get something without spending a lot. My…

I just wanted to not think about what to use. I know it’s pretty much all the same.

I definitely still look younger than her (graduated together so we’re the same age), but she’s had some pretty good results. I’ve seen other results with initial skin like mine, and although not earth shattering, are still very good.

An old friend from HS was a pharmacist married to a doctor when she had a kid and decided to be a full time mom. She started R&F a few months ago. “I made my startup money back in less than 2 months!” she gushed. She treats it like a business (cards and literature and professional bits and bobs), but it’s a hobby. I…

Similar but completely different. My husband just bought a new (cheapie) bass. He swore (seriously!) that he could reuse a case he already had and he wouldn’t have to spend another $100 on a new one. Bass comes in the mail today and it doesn’t fucking fit. It’s too big. So. The $450 ($500 after tax) becomes way more…

Only if she public schools. Yeah. Not going to happen.

But she’s rich. The rich have always been able to get abortions. She literally thought she’d be accepted for saying what she said.

And I get 14 stars for a misspelled comment. Hooray.

Yeah. I think it’s is.

When I was deployed 9 years ago I had a phone at my desk. Yeah, that’s right. I had a boring-ass computer jockey job. I also got paid hazard pay and am an OIF vet. Anyway, I started calling my mom near the end of the day, or even after close of business, and she finally said “Honey! I have nothing to say to you!” Same…

I hadn’t seen his smarmy face in a while - but since I didn’t know his name and didn’t care to find out why he disappeared I never knew what happened.

That’s exactly why if I were to ever get pregnant again (not bloody likely because when he got his vasectomy the doctor made damn sure to take sections out so no chance of regrowth) I would get ALL the genetic testing. We were super broke and couldn’t afford it either time - I was not yet “advanced maternal age” so…

Yeah, it’s all in the hips and butt. My kids butt/hip combos worked best with Huggies.

KS diapers do fit the same and are cheaper, but I don’t think they work on the smell as much. I can always smell my kids when they’re in KS versus when they’re in Huggies.

They fit the same, but Huggies don’t interact with the urine the same way and as such smell less. I’m a HUGE KS fan. I buy a ton of KS products. Just not their diapers or wipes.

The 3-day method is pretty popular these days. They actually recommend underwear and pants because then the kid feels the wetness and how uncomfortable it is. We didn’t do all bare for the now 4 year old for that very reason. By the end of the second day he was good - and we left the house on day 3 and he peed in a…

That’s awful. I’m sorry.
