So I'm organizing my best friend's Bachelorette party that's in a few weeks and I decided to make welcome bags for all the girls attending. I'm really into all the corney pinterest wedding stuff and decided to make these over the weekend.

I think they turned out so cute!!

The jig is up. MH now knows about my magic stones and sister's spell. He said I can't take magical stones from my new naturopath and I was like "How did you know???" Turns out he was making a random joke and had no clue, and, well, the rest is history.

someone told H to put baking soda in the water for hard boiled eggs and it would make them easier to peel. It made them impossible to peel and disgusting. No hard boiled eggs in my lunch salad today.

catlady1215 · June 2017

love them! @jjmno1616

today's random. I'm pretty upset about this BIP cancellation happening. wah!

Baking soda in water for hard boiled eggs... I've never have heard of that one before. My MIL swears by vinegar in the water. My method that has never failed me, use old eggs not like SUPER gross old, but keep them a week or so after purchasing before boiling them. Unless you use farm fresh eggs, then it wouldn't be worth the hassle. The fresher they are, the harder they are to peel.

@laurad75 @lurvleybunchococonuts I've been steaming mine in a metal steaming basket and they are BY FAR the easiest to peel. I'd try it if you haven't already! Normally 11-12 minutes is good for mine.

@catlady1215 IM SO SAD

catlady1215 · June 2017

@doxiemoxie212 I mean, I totally get whhhhyyy. and its such a mess... I'm reading so many different angles. but just boo. I really like that mess of a show lol.

Avrilmai · June 2017

@catlady1215 @doxiemoxie212 ok, I'll ask. What is BIP?

purplg8r · June 2017

@Avrilmai bachelor in paradise

@catlady1215 @doxiemoxie212 I'm so sad too! I've read a little of what's going on. What have you heard?

@avrilmai It's Bachelor in Paradise. I don't know why it was cancelled, I just happened to see the headline this morning online.

I'm so excited you guys! I got a 5.5% raise today!!! The company I work for does bands based on experience. You're hired in at 1E and you're automatically promoted to 1D after a year. The review period was up March 31st, but my 1 year was May 1st. Band 1E employees weren't supposed to get raises (or only very small ones) this year. Well my supervisor spoke up and said that I needed to be included in the raises because my performance appraisal was so good and I receive so many excellent reviews from the customer. To make it even better, apparently the across our location the raises averaged just under 3%.

catlady1215 · June 2017

@purplg8r First I read it was consensual, just drunk and messy. And they were shown footage in interviews the next day. So was Corrine fine with it if she was doing interviews?
then today I read that she got a lawyer. And doesn't blame him cause he was drunk (whatttt?) but blames producers cause they didn't stop it.

jsnakehole · June 2017

I will no longer be posting on TB. My husband is most likely staying deployed for another year. We most likely will not have children, if we even stay married.

Thank you for your support in the months I've been here. I'll continue hoping and praying for each of you.

jenotontx · June 2017

@jsnakehole I'm so so sorry. I'm sure you are in shock and completely crushed. I don't blame you for questioning a lot of things right now. I give you so much credit for being away from YH for such an extended period of time and I can imagine how difficult that is for you. We are still here for you no matter what girl but I hope you can find some comfort among your friends and family.

icecubeinthedesert · June 2017

@jsnakehole, I'm so sorry to hear that. Creepy internet hugs for you. We're here for you if you ever just need an ear. Wishing you the best.

Avrilmai · June 2017

@KariAnn323 that's awesome! Congratulations!

@jsnakehole I'm so sorry for what you are going through. You are a strong woman. Wishing you the best and if you ever need to talk/vent we're here, or just a PM away.

lurvleybunchococonuts · June 2017

@jsnakehole I don't think we ever interacted directly but I wish you the best. I'm so so sorry to hear you now have this added to your shoulders. I hope you are able to figure out what's best for you, creepy internet stranger hugs and best wishes.

KariAnn323 · June 2017

@jsnakehole I'm so sorry.I hope that whatever happened you can find your next step forward as quickly as painlessly as possible. I'm not sure that came out right, words aren't always my strong suit. Just know that I think you're terrific and that you deserve the world.

charlestonchew · June 2017

@JJMNO1616 Cute!
@kariann323 Congrats!
@jsnakehole I'm so sorry to hear that. I wish you all the best.

looeeze · June 2017

@JanetSnakehole I'm so sorry

and will echo what everyone else already said. I hope you get through this as painlessly as possible. XOXO

kmalls · June 2017

Does anyone watch Southern Charm?

kiwi2628 · June 2017

@jsnakehole oh wow I am so sorry

pebbledam · June 2017

@jsnakehole - hugs, girl. I'm so sorry that you are going through this.
@KariAnn323 - Congrats on your raise!
@vflux33 - Oh no! I would have loved to see the look on his face when you fessed up!

pebbledam · June 2017

I seriously just tried to tag someone on FB using the @ symbol. #toomuchbumping

doxiemoxie212 · June 2017

@pebbledam that's how I tag people on FB though... on my phone it doesn't work to tag someone unless I use the @ symbol lol

vflux33 · June 2017

Who here sees a naturopath, and would you be willing to share your experience with me? Did he/she help you? I am going to see one for the first time tomorrow.

leekat14 · June 2017

@jsnakehole oh hunny I'm so sorry for all of this. You are such a strong person to be able to be away from your husband. I wish you weren't going through any of this. Hugs

KariAnn323 · June 2017

We watched Ali Wong's comedy special "Baby Cobra" on Netflix last night, and it was f'ing hilarious! *TW* She's 7 1/2 months pregnant in the special. She "had to get science involved" to get KU. So she talks about her M/C, OPKs, how shitty TTC sex is sometimes, and progesterone suppositories. *End TW*

icecubeinthedesert · June 2017

@kariann323, I've been wanting to watch that for a while, but was afraid it would just be all about being KU, and not the struggles we all know too well. I may have to watch it now! Thanks for letting us know what it's all about.

KariAnn323 · June 2017

@icecubeinthedesert Her pregnancy was maybe 10 minutes of the show. 15 seconds was her pointing out that she's 7 1/2 month KU. The rest of the 10 minutes was joking about the hell that is getting KU. She was VERY casual about her MC. Personally I wasn't bothered by it, but I can see how it could upset someone.

pebbledam · June 2017

@vflux33 - I know @Sailing_Mama does....

hedgepig · June 2017

@vflux33 I haven't personally been to a naturopath, but my dad and brother both have, and both had really positive experiences. My dad has been seeing her for years now and she's really helped him with a bunch of different issues. This part is interesting only in reference to the vegetarian/meat conversation, but I think it's a relevant addition: In High School my brother was vegetarian for about a year. He ate really well - my mom was really careful with making sure he got enough protein and whatnot. However, he was also having problems with really low energy and getting sick all. the. time. He went to see the naturopath and she said, "Well, have you tried eating meat?" So he did, and was instantly cured. The moral of the story is that I agree with @vflux33 about different people responding to vegetarian diets in different ways. I think I would do just fine as a vegetarian, but he definitely doesn't.

vflux33 · June 2017

@KariAnn323 I had that on my queue but didn't watch it b/c I was worried it would be all about being KU--I'll totally check it out now!

@pebbledam Oh good call!

@hedgepig Thank you--that's so good to hear. And very interesting about the meat thing! Now I am feeling really good about today. Luckily where we live there is a nice variety of them and I found like 5 who specialize in IF within 25 minutes drive. I'll let you know how it goes!

izza2 · June 2017

@jsnakehole - I'm so incredibly sorry. I can imagine how tough this will all be for you and YH. I'm sending you so many good vibes to help you through this.

doula-mama · June 2017

I'm a bit late to the game but still wanted to chime in with all the hugs and positive thoughts for you, @jsnakehole

@vflux33 I do see a naturopath - thanks for the tag @pebbledam. I've been on a bit of a hiatus for a few weeks, so just saw the tag. I think you already had your appointment, but feel free to PM me or tag me if you have any questions still

pebbledam · June 2017

How is your dad doing, @Sailing_Mama?

vflux33 · June 2017

@Sailing_Mama I was just curious in general whether anyone has/had a good/bad experience but my appt went great and so far I like her way more than my RE. So no specific questions I guess at this point. But thank you!

I hope things are going better with your dad!

doula-mama · June 2017

@vflux33 So glad the appointment went well - I also love mine and thing that they can be a great resource.

@pebbledam Thanks - he is now at one of the best rehabilitation centres in the world, so we can't complain. He is starting to get use back in his left side, and can even walk a bit with support! I know we have talked about healthcare several times on here, mostly in the context of prenatal/maternity, but it's really made me realize how lucky I am to be in Canada. He went through open heart surgery, a week in the ICU, another week on the ward, and is now looking at a minimum of a month of inpatient rehab. At the end of that - he just goes home. No bill to pay, no insurance to deal with.

Avrilmai · June 2017

@Sailing_Mama so glad to hear he is doing well. I will continue to think of you and send all the positive thoughts your way.
