Add to this arsenal a neti pot and elderberry syrup. The limited research on elderberry is quite promising and I’ve found it does help me get better faster. I’m not into the consumption of alcohol, but since most people are cool with it, I’ll share my doctor’s recommendation: have a hot toddy.

Thank you for this list. I’ve been wondering about this for a while now as our cars are starting to get up there in miles. We had a problem with one car a few months ago that required going past the spark plugs. My mechanic pointed out that we would be hitting that scheduled maintenance within a year and suggested…

Liquids in the microwave can get very hot very quickly. There is also concern about nutrient loss due to the high heat that can occur. Honestly, a very basic steam based automatic bottle warmer costs like $20 and is so simple and easy to use that I don’t understand why anyone would ever use anything else. My kid…

No idea on that one. But generally, sinus infections are most often viral even if the mucas is yellow or green.

Yes to the smoked salmon and dill! My favorite! I still don’t understand caviar. I’ve never tried it and never plan too. Just looking at it makes me want to vomit...then again, I have issues with textures so I’m probably not the best person to give their opinion. :)

Thank you for having patience with this person and for helping him through his processing. I know I’m guilty of wanting to throw trump supporters under the bus because it is just so infuriating, but we really do need to sit down and talk to one another if we are going to be able to get somewhere better. So thank you…

That thread was amazing! It really helped me out a lot because I finally had a concrete way of explaining how I felt. I made my husband start reading it. I still do most of the emotional labor...we’re working on that, but at least he acknowledges it and tries more. It really is hard to fix because it is so ingrained…

Actually, the mucas color does not indicate bacterial infection at all. That’s a myth. I only learned it was a myth recently, it’s a pretty pervasive myth.

That’s awful. I hope the next week brings you something positive!

That’s a good plan. And I second the life alert vs. the other. If everyone else in the house is gone to work all day, you could have a fall at 9 am and be stuck for 8 hours with your health deteriorating quickly. I would do some googling to see what options are out there as the life alert tech has stayed behind in…

Love it! My husband taught my son his own version of this little piggy...

Yeah, I had to stop reading the comments and went back to read the entire original story. How can anyone read that and not see that he violated her? The fact that she said she didn’t want to go further, he said ok let’s get dressed and just hang, and then undid her pants!?!?!?! In what world is that anything other…

“I have to be the director.” The burden of all women. Read this:

I think you should show him this line you wrote, “I guess I’m really hard on myself and want to push myself to BF for as long as possible but I shouldn’t do it to the detriment of my marriage.” It should be the other way around. His job is to support you during this time. To do whatever he can to help you do your job…

My concern is that you seem to be interested in giving it up because he is not helping as much as he should be on the weekends. You said that “I insist on breastfeeding” like it is a choice. Just because formula is available doesn’t mean that women should feel a burden or guilty for having made the choice to…

I think any person who suggest you just pump needs a kick in the butt. Pumping absolutely sucks and requires you to do it just as often as you would be feeding the kid anyway. There’s also the people who will suggest formula so you get a break when in reality it just allows the father an out for not taking on more…

PJ Masks is a serious ear worm! I find myself singing it all the time.

Raffi. I love Raffi and I totally belt out the C-A-N-A-D-A song even though I’m from the US. Also: Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring Bananaphone! We also have a fabulous cd called Hello World by Red Grammer https://redgrammer.bandcamp.com/album/hello-world that my 3 1/2 year old loves. I definitely belt…

Life can really suck sometimes. I’m so sorry you’ve lost someone so important to you. I hope you are surrounded by many people who get that you get to feel and be however you want to and will provide you with the kind of amazing support he did. Thank you for sharing. It’s important people know just how dangerous and…

FYI they sell this mix at costco.
