I mean, that's all pretty incoherent so I don't even know how you prevail upon them when they're impervious to facts. I slam my hands down on the table a lot. And a lot of blank stares. I've given up on correcting them. It doesn't help. I do clarify the abortion thing. My brother seems to think you can just roll in at 39 weeks pregnant say "eh I've changed my mind" and get an abortion. I love how people can feel so strongly about an issue and know next to nothing about it. *eye roll* I just want to say don't tell me it's not about control when you don't even understand basic facts. And likewise don't tell me your concern with the immigration ban is about safety when you don't support common sense gun laws.

PW here this morning! So I did a quick search on the Kinder eggs and the company is launching Kinder Joy Eggs, which the FDA has approved. They aren't quite the same, but I'm sure I'll end up buying a shit ton of them... "But the version that will debut in grocery and drugstores across the United States is the Kinder Joy, which is a more recent concoction that separates the toy from the candy because it is comprised of two sealed halves. One half contains milk-crème and cocoa flavoring with wafer bites and is eaten with an included spoon, while the other half of the egg contains a toy. That packaging—used by Ferrero to sell the chocolate treats in warm-weather markets—is fully compliant with both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. " They're selling something similar to that already. I bought a bunch for M. I also bought this: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072PRMXMF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 That link opens the BIG LOL surprise doll...which my kid saw in the Toys R Us catalog and now has to have.

In other news, a host of one the shows on Fox News said "Radiohead is the poor man's Coldplay."
Excuse me? Most outrage thing I've ever heard. Now THOSE are fighting words!

klong11 Can you find that link & send it to me, please? I need to find out if I'm sending this shit back or not. Here's one. I mean maybe the glitter will stay on. The dolls hair is glitter looking, the clothes....everything looks glittery. I watched one where it was a guy and girl opening them, like adults, and the guy knew all the character names and was freaking out over some of them. He was very excited. This is.. something.

Will you be coming back out there another time? I'm not sure...maybe if he accepts the job, I know they mentioned him being in SA for a month for training, so we could go down then. And I just realized, that is also the weekend that my friends who are using a surrogate are having their gender reveal party, that I DON'T want to miss, as well as Smilz L's bday party. I may need to reconsider, especially if you all can't meet. What's the point then???

inthekitty yes! That is exactly what his picture looks like. We just put it up a month ago since thankfully we had some reno on our office preventing hanging it thus far. It pisses me off to see it every day. I have more than once contemplated finding a Sharpie.....

I made my resume public on Indeed yesterday and have had two companies reach out to me. The first one is requesting that I take do a Digital Video Interview. Face to face interviews are awkward enough...I can't imagine how odd I'll feel during a video interview.
Is this something new that larger companies do?

I got this bottle at target this past weekend and have used it 3 days. The glass already broke. I don't have the receipt or the tag to it. Should I just drink out of or try to take it back?

mwhip, take it back. You don't need a receipt if you just want to exchange it.

My Company is Top Ten in Fortune's rankings and this is what we do now, yes. So I'm guessing a lot of big companies are.

mwhip, if you paid by card Target can look up your receipt using your card.

I'm wondering if L has HFM. I just noticed 2 blister kind of things on her tounge. She's been drooly and putting her hands in her mouth. I need to check her feet but she just put on slippers that she's pretty excited about. C said his mouth was itchy last night...

mwhip, if you paid by card Target can look up your receipt using your card. They do this with any credit card, IME. I use my VISA there and never have a receipt for anything when I exchange it. I've only had one occasion where they couldn't find my transaction so I was stuck with the item. You are limited to a certain number of exchanges w/o a receipt annually though. I have no idea what that number is because I've never had to do it more than a few times a year.

I remember doing that not long after Evie was born and I got close to my limit, I think I may have made H return a few things so I wouldn't go over.

I don't have to take her to the Dr since they don't do anything for HFM, right?

Our doctor prescribed us a mix of liquid Nystatin and Benadryl to help with the throat sores the first time Dude had HFM but if she is eating and drinking fine there's no need for it.

X is 14 months tomorrow and he still isn't walking more than 4 steps at a time.
I just started to notice he turns his right foot way out at a 45 degree angle. I wonder if that's holding him back. I also saw his foot is like that when he crawls so he seems to not want to straighten it for any activity, really. I'm going to ask the pedi about it at his 15 month visit but has anyone else seen their kid do this?

I'm doing nothing at work. Instead I'm researching beauty products. I need a sunless tanner just to take away my ghostiness. And a dark circle under eye cream. And a curling wand because since I cut my hair last week, I can't get it to curl right. And I'm thinking about buying tinkle razors for my peach fuzzy face. Any recommendations on any of that? Apparently I'm feeling the need to not look like such a tired mom

Chase was still doing that at his 15 month appointment, and rarely walking more than 2-3 steps at a time. The pediatrician wasn't concerned and a few weeks later he was a full-fledged walker. His foot gradually turned in until both were at the same angle by his 18 month appointment. ETA: Chase was a full-fledged walker. I assume the pediatrician has been walking for more than a few months.
