I'm glad I'm not the only one with poor bird experiences. My FFFC, I will move where I am sitting it birds take up residence in a tree above me because when I was 9, we were at Disney world and a bird pooped on my hand while I was eating chocolate chip ice cream. Bird poop and melted chocolate chip ice cream look shockingly similar. They do NOT taste the same. So yeah, no birds above my head anymore.
I went for a pedicure today, & walked out with the comfy flip flops on...oops!
Don't you know that incudes labor??!!?!
(I'm sorry I can't remember who had a MIL that stated this....my pregnant brain can't function.)
Hahaha, I remembered that convo as my mom & I were walking into the spa. Her response, "what a relaxing way to start!" But, alas, after 45 minutes sitting in that chair, & one lovely foot/leg massage...I am most certainly still pregnant.
@ahernandez16 is that an engagement ring in your picture? (now that I saw it I need to know if it's bling or just writing on your sweater haha) If so, is your DH/SO someone you knew in HS? I love those stories.
Oooh good eye! It's actually a promise ring H got me in high school after we had been dating for a year. We've been together since I was 17. 7 years in April!
Dh and I are HS sweethearts too! We will be celebrating 12 years of exclusivity come November.
Wooo my husband was my neighbor! Moved on when I was 4 and he was 6. We were in the same elementary school and Jr. High but I went to w private highschool and he went to a vocational school, but we were dating, that counts right?

FFFC part 2- I use a Brita water filter......but I never change the filter. I just like realllllly cold water and pretending like I'm posh. And when people come over, I just reset the filter monitor so they think it's a good one.

So.... Not the happiest place on earth? That imagery is so so sad.

I have had the same filter in my Brita pitcher for at least 6 years.
@June2016BabyW guilty here too with the Brita filter. I think the last time I changed it was when DS was born two years ago...
we took DS out for dinner tonight and I was the parent that let him watch Daniel Tiger on my phone. He wanted to run everywhere and had no interest in eating. This mama was hungry and tired and did not want to chase after him. Oops?

I'm showing H this thread. He's so anal about our Brita filter it drives me nuts! I literally do not notice a difference when we swap it out and I'm not even one of those "all water tastes the same" folks because I literally refuse to drink Arrowhead bottled water. It tastes like spit.
Edited because Arrowhead water tastes like spit... not Aquafina.

I have a friend that works in water filtration and I asked him about whether a Brita filter did anything or not. He told me that if you live in a city with shitty water then it might be worth your while, but if your city's water is decent then a Brita is basically useless. I too just use it because I like cold water!

It's been months since we changed ours and it was well over a year between the previous filter changes. Funny story, we got replacement filters from Costco and the box said something about 20 years of dedication to clean water. H assumed it meant it was a 20 year supply and was unsure if we were ready for that big of a supply of filters (it wasn't). All that being said, we may last 20 years at the rate we're going through them!

I lived in a hotel for about 8 weeks and they had the worst water. I actually filtered the water twice and still thought it didn't taste that great. And where we live now, the water doesn't taste bad but it is full of minerals and putting it through a Brita helps reduce the amount of white that remains if a glass of water dries out.
