Does anyone have a menstrual cup sanitizer machine? I saw one advertised and am seriously considering one. I hate bringing my cup down and boiling it every month, and I feel like I would use it more if I could quickly sanitize it with a little machine in my bathroom. This makes me want to die. But if you love it then I love it for you. Do you like, put it in a saucepan?! Don't answer that.

I didn't say I "love" the cup, but on heavier days, it's more comfortable than changing pads/tampons all day. And goodness, everything is cleaned with hot, soapy water before it's sanitized. The care instructions say to sanitize once a month, and I'm paranoid of TSS, so I do it to be extra sure it's clean.

Um, so does anyone else feel a little uncomfortable/potentially paranoid knowing that people who are not regulars here were poking around in the depths of our posts? Or am I over thinking this lol

I haven't had a period in like 4+ years so I have no idea.

Or am I over thinking this lol People from foreign countries are poking around in our posts and bots post on our boards (probably not this one - unless they are dedicated bots). That is the nature of a public board. Don’t post things that you don’t want your grandma or GD to see.

I mean, abstractly I know that, but it feels different having it be called out in another thread, KWIM? But on second thought I'm really just over thinking it 😆

I am sitting down with my coffee, planning my meals for the week.
E has an outdoor birthday party (there are 4 total girls going so I'm good with this. Plus I'll drop her off, stay a few minutes to check things out and go. We ordered an Amazon gift so no need to shop at a store or deal with wrapping things.
Other than that, we have very little planned. I may try to get some furniture spray painted later today.

Or am I over thinking this lol 👋🏻 I mostly just lurk occasionally, although I did cloth diaper and tried to post here more. I’m sure it wasn’t hard to find that thread on this board if someone was checking pip’s post history. I also usually click on “recent posts” so it wouldn’t be unusual for someone to have seen a preview that caught their eye. And you do post on a topical board and there are quite a bit of people on GD that cloth diaper(ed) so there might be people that came here for that reason.

On the last iteration of this group, the CD board was the second most active board after GD. It might still be, but things have died off here a lot. At this point there might be more current CDers on the GD board than here. We're like the quieter room off to the side of the GD party. Occasionally we wander into the GD room for drinks. And sometimes GD folks sometimes mosey over here for conversation.

I was solid on there for a little while, but some way into the Trump presidency I just couldn't handle the nitty gritty details anymore.

I think I spend more time "in" the Politics board but I post mostly here. And I like to participate in the slower-moving threads on GD because I am almost never on HIH longer than a few minutes at a time so I can't keep up with the real-time conversations.

Our church started outdoor children's church today. Each kid sat in their own folding chair/hula hoop area at least 6 feet apart (I could only see the set up from the check in area). I was so happy to send L to it but so bittersweet because it was for K-6. When did my itty bitty baby become a full fledged kindergartner?

I guess pip went to the homeschooling thread and said some things that made some other people uncomfortable, so they then went through her post history and found some of the things that had been posted here when we were all having that serious BLM chat and dragged her for them so she went and deleted her account. That's the TLDR version anyways.

I just noticed she is “deleted” in my PMs. GBCHIH, huh?
Thanks for the recap. Ooo baby baby it’s a wild world.

I just had to pick up C from camp. He spit on a councilor....
Can someone please tell C the world is not out to get him and that people just want him to be safe?
I didnt yell at him (despite wanting to asking what the hell he was doing???).
I just told him I was disappointed and asked him if he liked F spitting on him? (Which he hates). And that if he does it again he will be kicked out for good.
