@lindsayleigh1989 I actually used to work at a 5 Guys in High School. (and I totally still eat there because they are clean and fresh, at least the one I worked at). The fries are cut that day and the meat is never frozen. Tips: the french fry portions are huge. A regular is enough for two people. (you can also get them with cajun seasoning if spicy is your thing). On to burgers, they are known for their toppings. Check out the whole list of toppings. You can also get any of them on the side. I get pickles on the side just because I like to eat pickles. I don't go often so someone else may have better suggestions. Also the difference between a little and regular burger is Little has 1 patty and regular has 2 patties. I get the little, but I also don't eat a ton so I don't know if that helps you. They didn't have shakes when I worked there like 10 years ago, but they do now and I know my DH likes them, but I haven't tried them yet. Enjoy!
Devil horns!! Yes! I look like I stuck my finger in a light socket some days with the amount of baby hairs I still have 2 years later. They only just started growing since I’ve been pregnant again.
+1 for Five Guys m, Shake Shack, and also Epic Burger (Chicago) amazing!!
Our son was circumsized our next will be as well. On a semi related topic...
I don’t understand why piercing babies ears is such a big deal. Mine were done before I was one and I didn’t mind. If you don’t like it then don’t pierce *your* babies ears. What does it matter either way? That said I do only have boys, but if I had a daughter I would probably do it.
@lindsayleigh1989 Treat yo' self and get the big burger. It's 2 patties but I personally always finish it. I tell myself they they're both the same amount of bread but one has more protein... lol
Edited because half my post was deleted, I forget what else I said lol but i always get the bacon cheeseburger and fries.
I did it got the big cheeseburger the little fries a diet coke and now bath and netflix!! now this is what I call treat Yo Self! Also the burger is amazinf!!!!
@lindsayleigh1989 I always go for their charburger with cheese and all the fixings. I get fries and a strawberry limeade. They have a San Francisco type burger one sourdough that is soooo good!!! Their sweet potato fries are a good choice too. Also their shakes are quite thick and delicious. I may need to go get one tomorrow.
@zombiehoohaa when you say charburger it makes me think of a place in my hometown in Indiana called Dog N Suds that is a drive in like Sonic. Their burgers and root beers and Coney dogs are amazeballs and now I want them, lol.
Also @lindsayleigh1989 that looks like an amazing Treat Yo' Self moment.
I do not like Five Guys. Never had the other two! When I'm in FL, I always have to stop at Steak 'n Shake!
Our son is circumcised, although I also don't have strong feelings. I just worry about him wanting or needing it later in life and how terribly painful that could be.
The only time I've bathed a baby in the sink is if they've pooped in the tub! And it's the bathroom sink just to wash them off. I "registered" (I'm not having a shower, but created them for the coupons since I am starting all over) for a tub that also has a tub seat with it, so when s/he gets older s/he can sit without slipping all over.
I have thin hair, so enjoy some of the extra growth during pregnancy. And mourn when it all comes out and chewbacca is in my shower
@WorkinWeezel I don't even know what the rest of your post said because I stopped at "Steak N Shake." I grew up in Indiana and I LOVE steak n shake, I even worked there through college and made great money! If there was a steak n shake within 3 hours of Vermont (there isn't) I would have driven there already in this pregnancy, lol. I love the little sliders they have because now i can get a chili 5 way and a couple frisco sliders and not have to decide between the two meals.
I might get flamed for this but here it goes. It really annoys me to see moms in social media brag about their kids or being a super mom. It almost makes me feel like I’m doing a shitty job because my house isn’t perfectly clean with dinner ready for DH or that my parenting methods are not what they should be. Like can we be real on this?! Can we show how hard it can be? We can still be super moms and have a dirty house or but take out. Being a mother is beautiful but life and kids are not always that picture perfect- i want to see that side, the normal side.
@wildtot I get what you're saying but we should be able to express feeling proud of our kids or ourselves. I feel like as women, especially as moms we are encouraged to be so self-deprecating or else we're accused of being stuck up or fake. I think it's ok to be proud of yourself and think highly of yourself and your family. It doesn't mean we aren't "real."
It's tough because of course the pictures of messy homes and bad days are often not the ones that are pictured on social media. That doesn't mean they don't exist for everyone or that the woman is being fake, that's just the not so exciting every day life that isn't always posted.

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And mom friends that openly criticize other (my!) kids, when their own can be real turds.
My house is a mess. Something sticky was on my counter for three days before I actually wiped it because I was so busy and overwhelmed and kept forgetting to physically get a paper towel, wet it, and wipe it. My dog sometimes pees on my furniture and I don't notice until it's just dry and crusty. My kids are clean but my daughter's hair looks like a rats nest half the time even though she brushes it. My kid forgets to wear underwear most days. We've eaten more take out than I could have ever imagined in the past 3 weeks and I don't remember the last time my kids ate a vegetable.
We are all alive. We have a roof over our heads and clothes on our backs and our bellies are full (even if it's with carbs and chicken). I'll get back on track at being the World's Okay-ist Mom soon, but right now, shit is REAL!
@runsomewhere i get what your saying and yeah i agree we still need to celebrate the achievements- of course i do it too. But what I’m talking about are like these extreme friends where it’s all about bring better and rubbing it in your face. Like i even had an old high school friend take professional pictures in her house all made up and carrying her new born with her toddler behind her. It just didn’t sit well for me. I like to see real - it’s more valuable and beautiful for me. I can share a memory with my future DSs wife and say look at what a weirdo he was! Lol
@wildtot Whaaaat? Professional photos of her just walking around the house?? Yeah that's extreme. I mean yeah, people post very curated photos of their lives on social media. I have to remind myself of that a lot when I feel jealous of people who seem to "have it all" - I'm only seeing the good stuff. It would be nice if people posted more "real" stuff in addition to the nice stuff - a nice mix of the two.
@wildtot I'm with you. While I also hate those accounts that only post about about how hard it is to be a mom, you're never gonna do your hair again, your house is always gonna be a mess, you're gonna be fat forever, etc, I also can't stand the "my child is a genius, here he is reading at 2" or "here's my spotless clean house, so happy I get to be with my kids and take care of the hubby!" In like a 1950 kind of way, lol . It's ok to be proud of accomplishments but if your entire social media experience is focused on showing off how smart your kids are, you're doing it wrong imo!
Someone I know posted an article the other day that had a headline something like, "I'm still a real mom if my house is clean." It was basically like, "we all have priorities and I can't function in my life if my house is dirty. But I also don't cook and order shit loads of take out." The gist was basically that people have diff priorities and diff strengths and we should, by and large, be uplifting our fellow mothers instead of focusing on comparing ourselves to them. WHen I first saw the article title I thought it was going to be super dumb, but it was actually making a good point. Just like some people don't want to feel shamed for their dirty house, others don't want to feel shamed because they post pics of their clean house, or their home-cooked meals, or the sweater they knit their kids.
Unless they are being a huge twat and saying everyone else is worse than them. Then they can go eff themselves, lol.
@SmashJam I agree, I get anxiety when my house is a complete mess so I know I'll probably sacrifice something else to find time to keep it at least decent , haha here's hoping!
@wildtot yes, I hate that! If you're going to just buy the lip balm and shampoo that are at the front of the store, just please check out up there. Why come all the way to the back? Those who have to pic up an actual prescription and then wait for the pharmacist to explain it all the while you're miserable and just want to get the medication in the system really don't want to wait any longer than needed. Also, you're making me stand in line with people that might have something contagious for that much longer!
I don't think you can compare in n out, five guys and the habit. in n out is fast food (and it's the best of all three, LOL), but really, five guys and the habit are sit down restaurants. Sub-par sit down restaurants
@wildtot I think it's crazy when people do that, or go to customer service. Like your time is so much more important than mine. I also hate when they open a new line and people behind you run over. I WAS HERE WAITING!I should go next!
@wildtot so does that UO go to people also picking up a prescription? I would give side eye to people buying a whole cart of things at the pharmacy but if I’m picking up a prescription and only need chapstick and shampoo too then I don’t see the problem with doing it while you’re already checking out.
@hillbillywife no i think that’s ok. It’s those who don’t have any business at the pharmacy and only go to check out. I think some places at least limit the item quantity so it helps a bit.
