@graceinca MA didn't pass an expanded bottle deposit bill. So basically, recycling lost in Mass. That was pretty much the most depressing result I've seen, and the only one that really shocked me. Lobbyists did a damn good job making the measure seem like it was basically taking water away from underprivileged babies or something. We really are massholes today. Sigh.
@GraceInCA Could you use the argument with your friend that the Ergo will last her so much longer than the Bjorn? (If you're even getting involved.) :-)
@cl8badb I was also put on lexapro for a short time. It KILLED my sex drive. Like.... I still don't know where it went, I never really got it back fully.

I said something like that. One of the naysayers said you'd have to get an infant insert for the Ergo, and I let her know that she should just roll up a receiving blanket. Also, I told her that a flexible wrap like a Moby or Boba would be great for those infant days anyway, and the Ergo would be much easier on her shoulders and back as well as last longer than the Bjorn. I also posted a link to the infant & child hip dysplasia site to show what proper carrying looks like. After my post, 3 more of her friends chimed in with "Bjorn!" I give the fuck up.
@GraceInCA with Ergo coming out with the 360 I don't see how anyone can push a Bjorn ever again?? Forward facing is the only real argument I've ever gotten about the Bjorn, but it doesn't even count anymore because the Ergo can forward face too.

People like what they know. I think Bjorn just markets their stuff better, and it seems based on that Facebook post that people don't want to admit that maybe they made a bad choice, so they try and get others on board with that choice to validate them. I frankly don't have any dog in the fight of what wraps and carriers one should pick because there are so many good ones, and everyone has a different body type and different needs. However, if someone asks for opinions, I will point out basic safety and comfort features. Which I guess is not popular.
Oh I hear you there @GraceInCA . I haven't run into many issues carrier-wise, but I'm really struggling with car seat safety and the people I know. Trying to find a diplomatic way to tell people to quit buying used seats, forward facing their kids the second they hit 20 lbs (which isn't even legal in our province anyways!) coats in car seats, the list just goes on. I often wonder how it is these people are so clueless? How do I know these things and they don't even have a clue?
B woke up with fever this morning. Dh helped me give him motrin to get the fever down -its a 2 person job because B hates being held down. I was nervous about giving him meds alone because I can't hold him down without him trying to kick me in the stomach. I decided to try giving him tylenol in the little cup they give with it and he took the whole thing and wanted more -I told him it was a drink. So for all those that have trouble giving meds to your little ones, try the cup!
M makes me keep filling the little cup with water over and over again after she takes her medicine! Mind you, she's never had an issue with the syringe either, but she really loves that tiny cup!
They used essential oils up my neck and in my hair for my massage. I now look like a greasy lion and smell like patchouli. I'm not sure I can say chiropractor with a straight face when I walk back into work.
We were just told that our department is moving to a different floor with a much different "open concept" floor plan. Only two people will have offices, where 10+ have them now. I don't have an office, but I have a very private cube area where nobody can see my computer screen. I am so sad that I am now going to have a space where everyone can see all my stuff. How am I supposed to Bump and FB? Boo.
Get a privacy screen film for your monitor. They are a little pricey but worth it!
FWIW @34blondie I love my Quartz City Select. They only had silver frames when I got it, so it's quartz on silver. Super easy to keep clean and it always looks good.
@34blondie I must have missed your post. Hope you're feeling better! @megsw85 I totally feel you! My H is terrible for doing that. He's gotten slightly better lately, but we still have arguments on the regular about dinner. He often works overtime, and up until this week his job is out in the bush. I fully understand and am ok if he is late or whatever, but if I talk to you at 4 chances are pretty good that you will know if you will make supper or not. Just freaking tell me!! I hate when I don't hear from him so we go ahead and eat and he walks in the door just as we are finishing. I mean, seriously, we aren't assholes. If I knew you were 10 min out I would just wait.
@34blondie I have the select in onyx with silver frame. I think it looks nice and looks the least grungy. Unless there is a yogurt incident. Onyx also coordinates better with most of the boys clothes. As you can see I don't have very good reasons for my choice but I wanted to weigh in as a fellow select owner!
Does anyone else's little stick their fingers down their throats when they are sort of choking? M does this all the time and it drives me crazy! She gags herself so badly she nearly pukes. I guess that would maybe help if she were really choking...but still.
@blondie34 I feel like baby jogger should be paying me a commission. I take the select everywhere and when people ask about it I give them an infomercial. I feel like I am personally responsible for the sale of at least 8 (and all happy customers!)
That and the time and the TV. I should be asleep right now but I'm about to go downstairs and get a glass of wine because I don't know what to do with myself!!
Yeah, I'm in Torrance but I take a red eye out tomorrow after our customer meeting. The meeting was supposed to start at 8 am but it got moved back to 10 which is practically tomorrow evening in my internal clock. I have friday "off" so I'm trying to adjust. The very nice lady at the bar has served me "pub chips" and a generous glass of Chardonnay.
FFTC last night I had 9,976 steps on my fitbit and I was already in bed. I had to get my 10,000 steps in for the day so I started swinging my arm around lol I have never done that before ">
I've been avoiding Target since we started sticking to our budget. Yesterday Isla and I went and I got some great stuff for her stocking and adorable bakers twine from the dollar section, shaving cream, milk, mascara and a box of pouches (we had a snack attack in the store) and only spent $30!!!
I have never spent that little at target before.
That is quite impressive!!! Lol I always spend more when Alex is with me. I do most of the shopping alone now haha

@34blondie - hope you feel better and hugs to rabbit and anyone else who needs them.
Nora slept for 6 hours straight last night. I feel like a new woman.
