We try to use "not making good choices" rather than using bad or naughty. We say that sometimes, and try to praise good choices often. When he's acting up, I often tell him he's being a bad listener, not that he's being bad.

I say MH for my husband but don’t use ds or dd because I don’t care for it. I call MH babe or honey. @gustet LOL at calling YH buzz. Same. For what I say on here. I also call MH babe. Although more often than not lately, it's daddy, since I'm usually talking to the kids.

When Tim is at work he refers to me as his "old lady." I know it's a man thing, especially blue collar, but it would never fly with me in person. He calls me Sweetie and I call him Babe. I hate the word "fixin" as in "I'm fixin to go eat lunch." I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS! It’s a total southern thing. I’m fixin to put H to bed. Well I'm fixin to look past it, cause I love you 😘 Lol a childhood friend was from Texas and she used it all the time, for a long time I had to ask her to translate because I couldn't figure out what needed to be fixed.

This is very annoying. I think they talk like that at MH work because sometimes he lets it slip at home and he gets an eye roll, a reminder that he's at home and that I'm younger than him. Better than "The Warden." That's what my dad calls my SM. And when she calls him he has her ringtone set to the theme song from Dragnet. LOL. That is truly hilarious.

I asked the pedi about H’s tubes/drainage. She said if I see any fluid that looks like puss aka drainage that is discolored, that it is infected. She looked in his ear and it is definitely infected so she prescribed different drops than the ones I had before. I’m supposed to call her back if I still see drainage after 7 days.

Tomorrow is my birthday. DH put out the gifts my parents brought, as well as what he got me. The box is...large. Really large...like, much bigger than what a handbag or even bulky jacket would come in. Something my sister said made me think I was getting jewelry. I lifted it and heard what sounds like tissue paper but that's all I can figure out. Spoiler: I don't think this is jewelry.
I hate surprises. And I'm so worried I'm going to hate whatever it is and have to fake happiness.

FX the stronger drops will do the trick.

flamingo maybe he's playing the box in a box trick. Small jewelry box in a large box surrounded by tissue paper.

I believe in you 😉 I’m sure you wont have to though, I bet it’s something awesome.

Just caught up! My consignment shop run was a bit of a bust. They wouldn't take a lot of stuff because it wasn't new enough or was a bit dingy. But DH hadn't put the battery cover back on the swing so that is now sitting in my basement. I have to get back soon because my basement is gross and I don't want to have to clean it all up again!! flamingo - We got stuck in a carwash about a week ago. Colin was terrified but they got things running quickly. Also I cannot wait to hear what's in that box!!

He's normally pretty good with gifts, but I gave him *zero* guidance (and he did ask for ideas)...so it's my own fault. I know he bounced some things off my sister but I am starting to think he went rogue. :insert terrified face emoji: eta Update: I just asked him if it's a dustbuster... and he just laughed and said, "you'll just have to wait and see". He is enjoying this so much. LOL. But not really.

I can't even. Literally, the worst. I may say these IRL or over IM daily? I'm pretty basic though.
"I can't imagine" doesn't bother me, people said that while surviving the spring and it didn't bother me bc it gave some validation that it was as bad as I thought it was.

I can turn this into a full thread if people are interested, but I need some help with beauty products -- specifically dry skin beauty products. This weather is killing me, and I need to find some kind of in shower body gel foaming moisturizing thing and something for my hair as well. I mostly use the products from my dermatologist, but even that's drying me out more than usual Does anybody have any recommendations? I use a tuberose moisturizing body wash from ALBA that I'm happy with. Then follow up with an olive oil body lotion from Kiss My Face. My lips are a wreck this time of year so I make a scrub of sugar and olive oil to get off the dead skin. For my face I'm using a CosRX Rice Mask at night. I have no idea why they call it a mask, it's a moisturizer.

I hate it when people use the word ‘literally’ with things that are clearly not literally. Same thing for (air) quotes. Just catching up but I hope no one else had posted this yet... 😭😭😭 can’t see the pic/gif!

joelies is there a Savers store near you? I donate most stuff there because you just leave them and go. I feel like it still serves a purpose since someone will buy them that can't afford a brand new toy. And I don't have to deal with the pickiness of consignment.
