Our greenery/foliage themed nursery is pretty much finished at 31w
The theme started off differently - we eloped in Hawaii and wanted to incorporate some tropical plants and leaves like monsteras, but somehow ended up with more simple leaves like eucalyptus and just generally greenery.
We're really happy with the way it came out. I felt like one of the walls needed something extra so I used my Cricut and made leaf decals to mimic a wall-paper. I still might have to go over them with heat to make sure they stay on.
Davinvi Maddox recliner: I was looking for one used on FB marketplace but didn't want to drive to random people's homes to try it out. Went to BBB when it was still open, tried it out and loved it. We actually ended up getting it from Kohl's because of BBB randomly cancelling orders multiple times. https://www.wayfair.com/baby-kids/pdp/davinci-maddox-swivel-reclining-glider-cbha1312.html
IKEA dresser I've been influenced. I saw everybody on tiktok and Instagram with this dresser in their nurseries because the height was perfect for a changing table. My husband and his brother put it together and it took them a while. But it's pretty solid. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/hemnes-8-drawer-dresser-white-stain-00318598/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=surfaces&utm_campaign=shopping_feed&utm_content=free_google_shopping_clicks_Bedroom_furniture
Keekaroo peanut changer I went back and forth, trying to decide if I needed this or something half the price. I told my mom I was thinking about putting this on the registry but felt guilty for putting a $150 changing pad there, and then a couple of days later, it showed up at my door... https://a.co/d/e7PcGL0
Davinci Asher crib The storage is going to be awesome on this crib. Only thing we realized we needed was a crib skirt since when the mattress is set higher, you can see underneath. The directions caused some confusion but we figured it out, there might have been a printing error. But it didn't take more than 30 mins or so to put together. We just bought the conversion kit for the toddler bed, just to make sure we get it before anything becomes discontinued. That would be our luck. https://davincibaby.com/products/asher-3-in-1-convertible-crib
Nanit Pro + Floor stand I'm sure I will get obsessively anxious with the sleeping monitor, but this seems to have really good reviews and a decent app. We're waiting until the little one is born before we start any kind of trial. https://www.nanit.com/products/nanit-pro-camera

Baby Formula 1.4 - Sunday F4 League (20:30 BST / 15:30 EST) - Live Stewarding
FREE F4 league that aims to offer close, enjoyable, fun racing with the chance for drivers and teams to battle for drivers and constructors championship over a 12 race season.
The series offer drivers the challenge to manage their race / fuelling strategies through navigating Safety Cars (SC) and Virtual Safety Cars (VSC) throughout the race events.

https://youtu.be/thNYDtuQ-N8?
League Structure
  • Baby Formula 1.4 will loosely follow the real world F1 calendar but only utilise tracks / layouts with less than 3 mile lengths so for example Spa has been swapped for Zolder. This allows for any SC periods to be a short as possible and encourage more racing.
  • 40% F1 Race Distance (76 miles) will be run, but all sessions will be timed out at 60 mins.
  • The season will span 12 races over three separate splits of 4 race events, with small breaks within each of the three splits. Each split will have its own champion but alongside this a unique playoff system is built into Split 3 for the best 12 drivers of the season.
  • All drivers will be assigned to 1 of 10 teams, with up to 3 driver racing per team (max 30 car field), therefore this league will hopefully offer the chance for people to get to "virtually" meet new people.
  • Live Stewarding, SC deployment and Custom VSC system controlled and managed by a dedicated by non-racing stewards
  • Dedicated stewarding team to review reported incidents post-race
  • Strict incident limit to encourage clean racing

2023.05.30 08:40 SpecialistGrade6808 [Review] Fendi Peekaboo Iseeu Small from Nickloe via Lau

My first review! I’m definitely not new to reps, I’ve bought locally via private sellers, I’ve been locked in a secret room in Shenzen, I’ve had better quality bags brought to me at various international markets, but I am new to purchasing reps via a seller on what’s app and all the wonderful factory information I have found here at Wagoon. Let me know if I’ve missed anything in the review format.
**Disclosure** Seller asked if I would do a review after I told him how pleased I was with the bag. I had planned on writing a review regardless. I have not received any incentives for this or future purchases for this review.
**Seller** Lau
**Price** 1932Y including shipping
**Shipping**
**Timeline**
10/5/23 - Initial enquiry 11/5/23 - Payment
13/5/23 - PSP: I had some concerns with the PSP images as the angle of the photos made the bag look the wrong size/shape. Lau was super accommodating and took the time to go and actually measure my bag and take more photos with a tape measure so I could check it.
14/5/23 - Second PSP - Lau supplied more images with tape measure to reassure my concerns and I gave the GL
16/5/23 - Tracking info provided 23/5/23 - Bag Arrived
**Pictures**
- [Factory photos] https://imgur.com/a/pqtpH3C
- [PSPs] https://imgur.com/a/a7Ov5h9
- [PSPs V2] https://imgur.com/a/7ws4KC1
- [Your Photos] https://imgur.com/a/6XcPdfv
- [Authentic] https://imgur.com/a/ENOJeMh
**Quality **(9/10) - Don’t let the 9/10 fool you into thinking I’m not obsessed with this bag. This is a high quality leather bag and the smell is amazing, there was no evidence of fufu or glue smell on arrival, just gorgeous leather. Even my husband has commented on how good it smelt and he is fussier then me! It is super soft, supple and smooth, and without holding it side by side to the auth, I would say it’s near identical in feel and texture, as I have held the auth numerous times in recent weeks.
I’ve deducted -0.5 mark here because after having it a week I notice the inside lining scratches easily (also beautiful soft leather), hard to avoid when you are putting things in and out of your bag, so something I’ll have to live with. I’ve buffed it with a bit of leather conditioner and it seems to have helped. The auth is just as soft as this, that’s how you get those nice peekaboo drop side/sags so I do wonder if it also has the same issue.
-0.5 mark deducted for some lumps on the lower side of the bag, quite visible in the psp photos now I look at them, missed it in the PSP stage, and can be felt by hand. I believe these are probably from the inner lining joins (thickness of base leather) and because the leather is so soft it shows them a little. Not a deal breaker for me, it’s really only one side which you can feel the most - which is the side against my body, and not really noticeable to the naked eye unless you are studying it intently.
Materials - As mentioned above the leather is top quality, although I do feel it is high care due to the soft smooth texture of it to avoid scratching. This isn’t a beater bag by any means. It looks and feels like a high end luxury bag.
Construction - the bag is beautifully constructed, the stitching neat, construction sturdy and an accurate shape to the Auth. There are no loose stitches. Only comment on construction is the bulky base inner joins which I’ve mentioned above that I can feel some lumps through the leather.
Hardware - The hardware is a lovely soft gold, not yellow, and has the Fendi engraving etched nicely into all the relevant places including the feet. There is a leather code engraved on the inner pocket and fabric pip label inside also.
**Accuracy** (10/10) - I have handled the auth numerous times, studied images online and without holding it side by side, I would say this is 100% accurate to my eye. It’s missing the plastic rain coat you get with the authentic, a little bit of a gimmick I guess but would be cute to also have it. I am not deducting points for this as it is a rep. Dust bag was good quality and cleanly printed.
If you have an auth I’d love to know how you care for the leather. Any tips welcome!
Dimensions - - Rep W270mm H208mm D110mm
- Auth - W270mm H210mm D110mm
Not going to complain over a 2mm difference, that’s normal and I doubt every auth is exact to those dimensions.
Color - Beige with pink and brown lining. Color is pretty spot on with the auth, it’s a hard color to photograph, so likely looks different (darker) in the photos, but I have held the auth in this color and the external and internal colors are all pretty close. I actually don’t think the colors on the Fendi website are accurate the auth of this I’ve held in my hands. In real life it’s a lovely honey beige color. I love that the two sides have contrasting lining just for a bit of fun and interest.
Materials/Construction - Leather feels on par in terms of feel, quality and texture to the authentic.
**Rep Satisfaction Rating** (10/10)- I am super happy with this bag, can you tell? It’s sitting next to me now while I write this, and I just love it. It’s definitely one I need to be careful with, not just throw on the seat of the car or back floor as I ferry kids around.
**Seller Satisfaction Rating** (10/10) - First time dealing with Lau and I am so happy with the service and the speed of which this baby arrived in my hands. They have been helpful answering questions on quality/factory etc (for this and other items I am looking at), fast on their communications, and I was super impressed they took the time to take extra photos with the tape measure to ease my concerns over the initial PSP shape/angle. I’ve got some more goodies on the way now, and a wishlist a mile long.
**CPR [Cost Performance Ratio] (10/10)** - is it great *for the price*?
This is a high quality rep of an expensive ‘it’ bag. I think the pricing was very reasonable for the high quality of the bag I have received and honestly wouldn’t spend the money on the auth if this holds up after some wear & tear.
**The Wrap Up (8.9)**
I wouldn’t let an SA handle it, they have no business touching my bags, but I would wear it into the brands store, just not the one I go to regularly as it might raise some questions as to why I didn’t purchase it there.
Would also wear it in any other luxury brand boutique - you def get better SA service when you are wearing a ‘brand’ bag in store!
Would I let my friends and family touch it, yes, it feels amazing, they should be jealous!

Numerological day analysis of 30-5–2023 15/6 Balance, Cross-Fertilization/ 6 Power; Male Drive; Yang; Life force; Sexuality
Inspired by Revolution you want to create Balance and Cross-Fertilization in your Life, resulting in feeling the Life Force and Power in you and around you.
30-5–2023 15/6 Balance, Cross-Fertilization/ 6 Power; Male Drive; Yang; Life force; Sexuality
Spirit: 30 Revolution; Creative Will
Soul: 5 Expansion; Fullness; Inner Motivation; Adventure; Freedom; Order
Body: 23 Unconditional Love or ‘Cry for Love’?
The sum total of today is 15: Balance and Cross-Fertilization resulting in power and life energy. You want to experience balance and cross-fertilization through your spirit’s revolution; your soul’s expansion and your physical ability to express Unconditional Love.

Today's pentagram
Themes
Three major themes underline this process: ‘ Expansion of Self-Awareness’, ‘Relationships’ and ‘Change-Transformation’ . All the axis in the “16” Pentagram are driven by their own theme. It is about truly ‘Mastering’ those themes.
Blue 2- Red 2: Axis of the Expansion of Self-Awareness: 2(7)-(7)2
The expansion of self-awareness drives the expansion of self-awareness. Either you dive very deep into finding the answer to the quintessential question of WHO AM I? or you lock yourself up in the physical and material world. The two opposing principles are ‘Spiritual Insight’ coming from the spiritual level to join with the ‘Golden Mean’, the ‘Divine Ratio’ coming from the physical level.
27:Spiritual Insight’ gives a strong confrontation between the Actual Life and the Illusionary Realm. The Soul wants to grow and develop. When it is obstructed by attachment to the Physical Realm and Mind, and the Soul is not allowed to grow, it will start to “cry”. Then the axis of the Expansion of Self-Consciousness turns into the Psychosomatic axis – meaning learning through (bodily) pain.
72: On the physical level we try to create the Divine Ratio or Golden Mean. This particular ratio that we see all around us in nature and when applied to buildings, music and art gives us this harmonious feeling. If we do not allow ourselves to follow our Intuition to give us the Self-Awareness but we start to doubt, then we break down our Self-Awareness and create exactly the psycho-somatic reaction mentioned earlier.
The balance of these two principles lies in finding your Inner Gold. ’Inner Gold’ is the wisdom that appears once you conquer the ‘Cold Intelligence’. It feels like gold, it looks like gold.
Blue 33 - Red 33 : Axis of Relationships: 3(8)-(8)3
The axis of relationships drives the axis of relationships. Either you master the way you relate to others and how you define your relationships or you may have no real relationships at all. The two opposing principles are Encounter with others, Relationships coming from the mental level to join with the Messiah factor; Conquering the Darkness, coming from the emotional level. Mentally you want to connect with others and form relationships, emotionally you need to find your inner Love by going through your Darkness to see the light of a new day.
38: Encounter with others, Relationships
‘Encounter with others’ is the 3-8 axis in the Pentagram, dealing with how you relate to others. It requires a willingness to mingle and interact with others and refrain from avoiding others or withdrawing from others. On the feminine side lies the wish for Harmony, in the masculine side the desire for change through decisions. This will bring emotional unrest, unless you master it. You cannot fight the waves (of emotion) but you can learn however how to ride them.
83: Messiah Factor, Conquering the Darkness
Jesus as the Messiah brought the new message of Love into the world. In order to understand this message and to live it oneself, the child has to be born in every person – as a symbol for something new. This has to be done by entering your own Darkness and emerging ‘reborn’ (The archetypal journey of the hero).
The balance of these two principles lies in their sum: Mastery of mastery. A key to understanding mastery is to reflect on what makes a Journeyman a Master. The journeyman has learned all the necessary -physical, emotional and mental- skills that a Master has. In order to become a Master however, he has to put in something ‘unique’ into his work, something ‘divine’. To access this ‘uniqueness’ more of the times, he has to make the journey of the Hero.
Blue 50 - Red 05 : Axis of Change and Transformation: 50-105
The axis of change and transformation is driven by the axis of change and transformation. Guess what is going to happen? Transformation whether you like it or not. With that being the case it might be wiser to drive your change yourself than to wait and let it happen to you. The challenge here is to be the change you want to see. The two opposing principles are ‘Review of Life’s orientation’ coming from the physical level to join with ‘Final Transformation’ coming from the spiritual level.
50: Review of Life’s orientation. From the age of 50 onwards it is time for an essential change in the attitude towards life: Things that used to be important, become less important and new things enter life. The creative chaos constantly disrupts the own inner order. It is a true test of life, as from 50 onwards an obligation to change occurs, an obligation to develop yourself from a pure materialistic way of thinking into a more spiritually aware person.
105: Final Transformation. In the final transformation it is imperative to understand that the “Order influences the Chaos”. It is where you take the conscious decision to use your free will, whilst accepting whatever consequences that may bring. So physically you start to question yourself: what is life all about? Is it about my material, emotional or mental wellbeing or is there even more? Where does inspiration, ideas, intuition come from? What does chaos have to do with it? Spiritually you become totally aware of the paradigm that chaos creates order and that there is order in chaos. A ‘mind-blowing’ idea.
The balance of the two principles lies in expanding the ‘Divine Guidance’ – ‘God’s fulfilling power’- with Perfection at its core.. A good definition of Transformation when you think of the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly.
Levels of awareness
You are being supported by high spiritual and high physical awareness (thank God!)
Your spiritual awareness is obtained through Spiritual Insight/ Expansion of Self Awareness and Final Transformation. Its goal is to master perfection, to infuse you with powerful mysticism and to let you manifest the renewal of Spirit. It also induces a strong intuitive masculine (sexual) life-energy.
Your physical awareness is obtained through the Review of Life’s orientation and the Golden mean. Its goal is to have you intuitively create physical transformation, with deep healing at its core.
Quadrant
The spiritual and the physical level in this Pentagram are connected through the axis of Expansion of Self-awareness and the axis of Change-Transformation. It calls you to integrate these two levels of awareness. Its theme is that of the legend of Saint-Germain. Very fascinating.
Note: If your birthday is today, the topics described above are your topics for 2023. Should a baby be born on this day, then today’s themes are the baby’s life-themes.

2023.05.30 07:43 damagedwretchedvoid Boon bottles

I recently purchased boon bottles for my 6m. He has never had any issue adapting to different types of bottles. This is the first time we are having an “issue”. Normal feedings taking as an example como tomo bottle 7oz takes him around 15min to fully drank. While with the boon one it can take him up to close to 30 min. Today at around the 16min mark he just fell asleep and didn’t care to continue drinking, he just drank 3oz :( I have tried this bottles more than a couple of times and it’s always similar situation. I thought of buying next stage nipple since it comes with a medium one, but my baby is used only to medium and not fast flow yet. Am I supposed to do something specific with the bottle? Im making sure the bottle is properly assembled… but there doesn’t seem to be much of a complexity, but makes me wonder if I’m missing something I saw great reviews on these bottles, and my baby never struggled before, so that’s why my confusion

2023.05.30 07:41 TransRational The emotions of filing a claim, and how to avoid becoming a statistic.

The emotions of filing a claim, and how to avoid becoming a statistic.
Today being what it is, I wanted to make a special post.
I want to talk to you all about some of the EMOTION behind filing, as we primarily deal with the practical side of things.
This is a long post (I was a Journalist in the military), but it taps into something quite a few of us go through or have gone through, especially those who file for mental health related issues.
I want to start with the process of filing a claim itself.
IMO it’s made intentionally complicated. There’s a good word for it - ‘obfuscation.’ The intention behind this is to prevent Veterans from completing their claims or even STARTING them because they’ve heard how difficult it can be. Particularly, when you consider the mental barriers we have to overcome.
If the process took on a face, I imagine they’d look like Vogons from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (as pictured), and starting a claim looks something like this -

“NEXT IN LINE! Hey there, filing for disability? Here’s what you have to do; file this paperwork, you have this amount of time, you’ll need to gather and provide your own evidence. Once you do and you’ve submitted it, you’ll need to go through a series of legal/medical appts we’ll setup for you, using only our providers of course. If you get all of that done in time, we’ll review your package. It’s all online bud. I’m sure you’ll figure it out. Be sure to read our policies and procedures, understand them and act accordingly, because any mistake of any size will likely result in disqualification or a much lower rating. Our team of highly specialized bureaucrats will review your claim, insuring you completed it exactly to specification, which I’m sure you will have despite never having attempted it before. Cheer up bud, it’s only a never-ending ribbon of red tape you’re cutting through. Hell, it might even be fun right!? It’s not like anything major is on the line.’

‘Why are you still standing there? Is this difficult for you to understand or something? You do understand me right? What do you mean you have a hard time revisiting your trauma? Just write it all down! Don’t forget to use key words, oops shouldn’t have mentioned that never mind. Heh. Geez you big baby, that was a joke, I mean not really but I’m laughing! By the way, we’re going to need personal statements regarding your trauma from anyone around back then that can collaborate your story, otherwise, what are we even doing here? Am I right? Heh. I’m sure you can track them down, and I’m sure they’ll be willing to provide their statements for you. What do you mean you’re struggling just to get by and basic things are hard for you? Weren’t you in the military? Suck it up buttercup. God you have so many excuses. Look, can’t you see we’ve made this as simple as possible?! I don’t hear anyone else complaining! Move along now. NEXT IN LINE!’
————————————
Let me tell you my journey to collecting disability -
I knew I had a problem, I wanted to go to the VA, I even MOVED into an apartment across the street from the VA thinking that proximity would be the push I needed to help me get there. A year went by with me doing nothing but staring at their walls.
I’m not sure if I ever would have gone in on my own if it wasn’t for one fateful day where… I got lucky you could say.. sort of.
I was dropping off my GF at her work, which was just up the street, we got into a big fight. I yelled at her, slammed the car door several times. Unfortunately, this was typical behavior for me back then. I was a mean-spirited and sensitive piece of shit. I often flipped off the handle. So I stormed away from the car and walked home, which was of course, past the VA. After explosions like that, anger and rage gradually turns to a numbness for me, and I’m left with crippling intrusive self-deprecating thoughts. Walking down the sidewalk, approaching the main entrance to the VA, those thoughts congealed into one incessant voice -
‘This is it, if you walk by now, you’ll never go in and face your shit. Your life will be consumed by the violence in you that’s only getting worse. Do you love her? Do you want to keep hurting her? Hurting people? Go inside you chicken piece of shit. What’s wrong with you? DO IT!’
And even still, I almost walked by. But I stumbled, and slowed, and watched as my feet seemed to change direction on their own. I walked in, got processed, and was seeing a therapist within 30 minutes. I was so numb my body was buzzing. I have absolutely no memory of any conversation.
But I’d made it into the system, and I learned about filing for disability. And eventually I summoned up enough courage to put in my intent to file. I went to the VA’s group therapy and their two weeks of in-patient therapy. A psychiatrist put me on anti-depressants. Things only got worse though. Another year went by and having not followed up and submitted any paperwork, I lost my original intent to file date. So I filed again. And guess what? ANOTHER year went by with me doing nothing. Meanwhile, my mental health just continued to get worse.
What stopped me? I didn’t want to relive the trauma. I just didn’t want to do it. I didn’t want to ask for help either.
Later, I’d find out this is common. That it takes on average seven years after EOS for Veterans to file a mental health disability claim. I hit that statistic on the number. Fuckin’ eh. It’s also common for your mental health to suffer when you first start getting help for it. So much shit I didn’t know.
And this doesn’t even factor how much more complicated I know things can be if you also have physical impairments to deal with.
In a way, I wish all I did have was physical impairments. Those at least are compensated from EOS. PTSD? Nah, the system takes advantage of those seven years it takes us to go in.. IF we go in. The VA says, they’re not responsible for those lost years, that’s on us. Great, so we lose even more of our prime years, our earning years, due to the instability caused by our service. I can’t imagine how much more difficult it would be if I was missing an arm or a leg, but I gotta think I’d of gone to the VA a lot sooner if that were the case.
I KNOW about barriers, about feeling overwhelmed, about the hardship in revisiting trauma. About being vulnerable enough to ask others to help you file your claim.
I hear people say - ‘Oh just go see the VSO or DAV or any number of organizations who will help you through this process!’ Yeah, okay.
But what happens when you do? All too often you discover how swamped they are, how their efficacy ranges dramatically depending on what State/Region they’re in and who they have working/volunteering in their offices at the time. You’ll find you still have to do most of the work yourself, you’ll still have to push them to get it done. You’ll still have to check they’re doing it right. Some folks get lucky, they get good agents. You’ll hear about them, but don’t expect it and don’t for a second think that’s the norm.
I know about the guilt and shame, the self-hatred of not being strong enough, of thinking you’re broken, of being your own worst enemy. The confusion, questioning how much of this is you projecting, and how much of it is the system itself. When you have mental health issues, it’s all too easy to blame yourself.
The unbridled anger throughout.
I know about the fear of confrontation. Of going back to the same institution that’s responsible for your struggles to begin with. The insanity of expecting anything when you’re the one holding out your hand.
Of feeling like an imposter, that asking for help is condemning someone else who needs the support more than you do. Of not wanting to single yourself out as the ‘weakest-link.’
Facing that stoicism and brainwashing which served you well in service, that you now have to breakdown and overcome at least in part, so you can complete the process and stand up for what you deserve.
Of hearing from Veterans who you know have issues and are still clinging to that warped sense of stoicism, too afraid to make a claim themself, living in denial. And worse, disparaging those who do seek help as being weak and taking advantage of the system - mooching social services.
They’ll point out and disparage the people in Vetransbenefits, fluff up their feathers and chirp about them cheating the system. If you don’t know them IRL, you can go see them over in Veterans. They’ll talk ad-nauseam about how unfair it is when they see someone get rated, and how their actions hurts us all!
Completely unaware how transparent they are, how we can all see what they really want is for us to convince them that it’s okay for them to get help themselves. They’ll project all kinds of toxic shit. And while the rest of us have the courage to move forward, they’ll continue to be stuck in their past.
You may face any or all of this. You may even face more. This path is unique to us all.
For me, walking it was harder than anything I faced in service. But as insane as this is to say - I'm better for it. I'm wiser and stronger. I've regained control of myself and my life. In some ways, I'm better than I was before the trauma. With help, I've grown. So now I can feel good in my relationships, I might even convince some unfortunate lady to have kids with me, ha! Which is what I want more than anything else. I want to be a Dad, and I want to be a good one.
What got me through it was this sub, hearing others' stories like mine, the fear of losing myself, and the pain left behind from friends who took their own lives.
I was already a statistic. I wasn’t about to become another one. I was already chewed up by the right arm of the big green machine, and I’m not about to let its left arm finish me off.
And neither should you.
You’ve got us. Keep coming here and asking questions, sharing what you’re going through. You’re not alone. You never were. Many of us know quite well how to navigate those moving parts and are more than willing to shoulder the load with you.
Just the other day I had a conversation on the phone with a Vet I met on here, living on the other side of the country. I learned quite a bit.
It never fails to surprise me how many folks go out of their way in service to others, and it reminds me of my better times in the military.
So if you’re new, stick around. If you’re suffering, speak up. We got you.
Thanks guys.

2023.05.30 06:42 kak2m4 Am I just destined to be unhappy at work, no matter what?

I beg for kindness. I've been in a dark place for a long time. I posted this on careeradvice also, but I think this community is a good place for it too....maybe?
TL;DR: Promotions at work over the years + being an individual contributor on the team has led to my 3rd (and worst) burnout at the same company over the course of about 11 years. I feel unhappy with every role change for different reasons. What can I do to accept being overwhelmed at work with the volume of work expected and stress with what I'm doing? Will I just always be unhappy no matter what?
If youre still here, this is super long, so please bear with me. It all leads to my question at the end. I have an MSW. I graduated back in 2012 and couldn't find a job since I didn't have post grad work experience. I took the first job I was interviewed for and offered - at a temp healthcare staffing company. I started in August 2012 as a Recruiter...then less than a year later, all within 2 months of each other, 3 of the 5 of the team members left. I took on more work willingly, but my role changed since I was promoted, etc. Additional duties included a phone sales kind of role which I hated, since I'm an introvert, plus I was managing people while being an individual contributor on the team with screening and hiring temps. We had a huge project May-August 2014 where I worked all the time and was on-call for the Temps I'd hired 24/7. I was burnt out by August 2014. I got an opportunity to switch roles at the same company as a Contracts administrator in August 2014. I switched and have been in the same department since, save for a brief hiatus at the end of 2021. In this role, I put together our company contract template for clients, reviewed and negotiated terms to Client agreements, etc. It was more analytical and not at all sales-y which was perfect for me. As time went on, my original Manager left, and she was replaced by the Assistant Manager at the time (who is now over me and a bunch of other people). She's still my boss to this day, and you cannot find a better boss. She's wonderful, supportive, fights for her team, she's easy to talk to, great to work for. She and I are very close. She is also my opposite - she's very extroverted, outspoken, and quick to think on her feet. She handles things being thrown on her plate with grace, although she may complain to me privately. 😉 COVID hit our company HARD - but in a good way. We grew exponentially due to helping staff soooo many nurses throughout the country. Things also changed drastically. 3 of the 4 of our executives - who I was close to and worked closely with - left, and they were replaced by baby VPs so that our executive team dynamic changed a lot. Now, the days of being able to review and negotiate contracts are gone (the goal is to sign sign sign so the salespeople can close their sales), as is the support we received at the exec level. Since COVID, we've been so much more busy, to the point that I have been overwhelmed at my job since sometime in 2020. I would regularly work 8a-9p, weekends, holidays. I would break down in tears regularly also. I crashed and burned in Oct and Nov 2021. I decided I wanted a complete career change, so I landed a job at an ABA clinic working with autistic kids and studied for and obtained an RBT certification. I resigned from my job in Contracts, although they begged me to stay. They offered me a promotion and more money, and they offered for me to take the last couple of months of the year off paid, but I was tired of always being super stressed and having no support from the execs, who we work very closely with. When I say no support, I mean nonresponsive to emails, requests for help, lack of knowledge and accountability, never being available etc. (When COVID hit all the executives were allowed to work completely remotely, and most of them moved out of state.) After I resigned, I started working at the ABA clinic, BUT - within 2 weeks I realized I hated it. I liked the kids, but the job was so monotonous and did not challenge my brain enough to keep me interested. I had to be over the top enthusiastic and extroverted with the kids which was draining to me. I also had no flexibility whatsoever- if my kid was sick, my husband had to be the one to work at home and I realized I'd never be able to get off work to attend any of her school functions, which is very important to me. I let the ABA clinic know that I was sorry, but the job was not the right fit. I also asked my old boss if I could possibly come back. She told me in confidence that the executives had a meeting and agreed they needed to be more supportive to our department and be available, so that made it more positive to go back. I'd also have occasional remote work flexibility, able to attend kid's school stuff, and I could use my brain. It just seemed like the grass was greener on that side. I was welcomed back with the promotion and pay raise offered when I'd resigned. Well...since I returned at the beginning of 2022, I've managed a team of 5. I remain an individual contributor on the team as well, so I do the same job as several others + Manager duties, tons of meetings, etc. If COVID seemed bad, how I feel now is no comparison. I need about 16 hours in each workday to get done everything I need to do in between meetings now. I have started having to work most nights from about 10pm-1am just to keep up with my day to day stuff. As a disclaimer, I don't like working outside of work hours when my kid is around. I get too focused and I'm only half focused on her, and I get grouchy due to stress. I still break down in tears regularly, but usually on the way home from work. When I walk up to the building each morning, I feel like a heavy weight settles on my chest and I have to mentally prepare myself for the crap I'm going to have to deal with that day. I work with a lot of salespeople now, and I hate being a prime factor in them closing their sale (because they promise the client they'll get a contract over to them same day). When I can sleep at night, I've started having nightmares about work, where I freak out because I forgot something and wake up panicked. There are days I just want to get up from my desk chair, walk out, and never return. I also had something personal happen in my family in December that has affected my mental health drastically. I did seek therapy for a while for it, but I just didn't have the time to spend a couple of hours in session each week or text with my therapist....it became something else I fell behind on which made things worse for me, so I terminated the relationship. I did talk to my wonderful boss about how I feel overwhelmed all the time, and she wants to keep me, so we set a plan in motion to restructure duties in our department. It's been needed for a long time anyway. We'd talked about it in 2022 but didn't follow through with it. But now, I don't know if I'll be happy JUST managing people! OH MY GOODNESS....ALL of that to say...am I just destined to be unhappy, no matter what my job is? What in the heck is wrong with me? Why do I let the work stress get to me so badly? I know everyone has stress about work, how do you not want to leave your jobs and find something different? How can I do better?

2023.05.30 05:14 kah2011 Things are fine.. but could they be better?

I should preface this by saying I think I’m grieving my breastfeeding journey and also working through some PPA. My 11 week old has been combo fed with standard Enfamil Neuropro (yellow) and just switched to EFF last week.
He is a very happy baby, rarely fusses. Eats about 5 ounces every 3-4ish hours. He has a lot of gas, but just passes it and is unbothered. I can count on one hand the times he’s spit up in his life. His poops seem a bit runny sometimes, but his pediatrician thinks the consistency is fine. However, I keep getting in my head about the formula maybe not being the best fit for him. The formula smells so bad to me (like metallic) & so do his poops. I keep researching Kendamil and almost buying it, but I’m also scared to mess with something that is technically fine just to see if I can find something better. So I guess my question is.. is Kendamil all it’s cracked up to be, really? I don’t want to regret my decision if it messes with his stomach, but EVERY review is so good and makes it seem like the traditional US formulas are inferior.

2023.05.30 04:54 jmh6201 Can you use Panadol 4 hours after using Dymadon?

Bub had her meningococcal vaxs this morning. We used Dymadon after hearing rave reviews of baby liking the flavour. I can confirm my girl did not like it. I now want to use Panadol instead after the four hours has passed as the mL is less for her weight so it’s easier for her to swallow vs Dymadon where the mL is a bit more. Is this okay?

2023.05.30 04:49 drxfaye 5.5 month old will NOT sleep

My babys always been a Terrible sleeper, but it got better from 2-4 months when we got her a magic Merlin suit. She would sleep a 4-5 hour stretch then wake up every 2-3 hours to eat but would go back to sleep. The four month sleep regression hit us. HARD. Initially she wouldn’t sleep more than half an hour to one hour stretches at night and wanted to be awake. Now she gives us an initial 2 hour stretch from 8-10 and then wants to stay awake for a few hours, goes back to sleep at midnight, wakes up every two hours till 4:30 ish and wants to stay awake from 4:30. Not to mention it literally takes at least an hour to get her down. Her naps are crap too, I don’t even know how to put her down for a nap, she has to decide she is tired enough for it and it’s so flip of a switch. I’m so tired. She’s a barnacle baby too and the kind that wants you to stand up all the time. I literally have no break
We tried sleep training but it was a disaster and she vomited everywhere and then got ill afterwords.
Does this get better? I’m dying. It seems like everyone’s baby is doing better now with sleep, but ours are a disaster.

2023.05.30 03:40 Mommy_tootired Stepson not allowed to see us, his siblings, after 50% of time with us for past 6 years

My stepson (11M) has been kept from us since right before Thanksgiving. My boyfriend and I have been together 10 years and I met his son at 2 years old (he’s almost 12). He has lived with us every other week since age 5. His mom is literally insane (accused me of doing voodoo to make her keep the son from him) among other crazy accusations. We now have a 5 and 9 mo old and it’s been hard since he has hardly seen the new baby and his little sister who adores him. My mother in law has been able to request to have him for some holidays (Christmas Day) for an hour or two and we occasionally see him this way.
My bf has a lawyer. She filed for child support right after she stopped letting my stepson visit. We saved some money up and were also able to obtain a lawyer. First court date was to set up child support, second was to make sure paperwork was submitted regarding child support. Third is to “review paperwork submitted”. We were told visitation has to be a separate court date. We do not have this court date.
Is this normal? To take so long to get this all established? Is there truly no way to see him in the meantime? I just feel we are at the mercy of this lawyer and don’t really understand.

Baby is 4.5 months. We did the Halo sleep sack for the first three months until she no longer liked being swaddled. Then we did arms out but she would continue to startle herself so we started Merlin sleep suit. We have been doing the Merlin sleep suit for a month now.
Tonight we tried to put her in the Halo transition sack (arms out) and she rolled over in the crib. However, after rolling over she started crying and screaming in that position because she does not know how to get out back on to her back. We put her back in Merlin but she's showing signs she may roll over in it like she did in the transition arms-out sack.
So what to do? Do we just try an arms out sleep sack and keep putting her back on her back if she rolls? More arms out sleep sack during the day? Do we practice more tummy time? If she rolls on to her stomach does that mean she's safe there?
Regarding tummy time, she can roll into it but cannot roll back to her back.
Any advice would be appreciated!

2023.05.30 03:05 richardguy To the anti-boycott "everything is fine" crowd, you get the game you deserve.

To the anti-boycott
Thank you to everyone who really put in the effort to improve the state of this game whether it was by submitting feedback, an honest review, some level of boycott, or all of the above.
My thread two days ago was designed to point out the knee-jerk contrarianism, elitism, and gaslighting from the pro-Gaijin/anti-boycott crowd quite prevalent since the 26th. My message to that group:
-Your posts do nothing but tell the people who love this game dearly and want it to improve that their criticism isn't welcome and that there's no point trying to change anything for the better; and it tells Gaijin, both directly and indirectly as a result of the aforementioned demoralization, that everything is fine and no matter how badly they fuck up they'll have people running damage control for them for free.
-You dislike the way that the boycott and protests were organized and the cringey teenagers who ran the Union discord. Fine, I do too. Your bandwagoning against what you perceive to be "cringe" is how you end up justifiying Gaijin's fuckery and carrying water for them. In the end: You get the game you asked for.

2023.05.30 01:22 _Revelator_ Clarkson's Columns: 30 Years at the Sunday Times & The Red Trouser Mob Speaks Nimby

30 years of this Motormouth
On three decades of cars, controversy, and cow dung at the Sunday Times (May 28)
By Jeremy Clarkson
Thirty years. That’s how long I’ve been writing for The Sunday Times. When I joined the paper, back in 1993, John Major was in power, Neil Kinnock was a fan of Ford Sierras, they were still digging coal out of the ground in Yorkshire and other columnists on the paper included AA Gill, Michael Winner and, not long afterwards, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.
I’m the only one left now. Still here. Still bashing away at the keyboard. And still feeling like a fraud. I went recently to a party celebrating the newspaper’s 200th birthday and during a film that had been made to commemorate the milestone, I was left reeling at the amount of truly important stories it had broken over the years. And the journalistic colossuses who’d translated these shapeshifting events into readable, punchy prose.
Me? Well, I got a job in journalism — on the Rotherham Advertiser — simply because my grandfather, a doctor, had gone out during an air raid in the Second World War and delivered the editor’s first baby. “I’ve always wanted to pay him back,” he said, “so you start on Monday.”
He sent me on a block release course to learn the tricks of the trade and I was terribly shit at everything. I only managed to pass my 110-word-a-minute shorthand exam by using a two-speed tape recorder and very long hair to cover up the secret earpiece. But while there I did meet a chap from the Harrogate Herald who told me about a great gig. If you could get a motoring column in the newspaper, carmakers would send you a brand-new model every week, fully insured and brimmed with fuel. All you had to do to keep the gravy train running was say how brilliant it was.
So I became a motoring journalist — that’s the profession’s bottom rung, just below being a travel hack. And that was fraudulent too because I had no clue how a car works. Back then my peers and colleagues in the specialist motoring press would talk about gear ratios and steering racks and tread shuffle, and I had literally no clue what they were on about. In my mind you turned the key, witchcraft happened and you moved about. The gearbox? That was pure sorcery.
In some ways this ignorance helped, because if you know how a car works you aren’t all that surprised when it does. With me, I always have a boyish, tinkle-grabbing excitement when I push the throttle pedal and the whole car moves. It excites me. And I don’t think that excitement would be there if I were on some kind of a know-how par with the engineers who’d made it possible.
To get round the problem of not knowing what I was talking about, I wrote mostly about how a car made you look and feel. And that seemed to go down quite well, so pretty soon the gravy train became a foreign junket jus train as carmakers started inviting me to product launches. A lot of product launches. In the mid-Eighties I spent more time in Cannes and Barcelona than I did at home. And all I had to do in exchange for all the private jets and champagne was write a piece saying that the car made me feel and look very nice. And that it would do the same for you too.
At one of these product launches — for the Citroën AX, in case you’re interested — I bumped into a BBC producer who asked me to appear on Top Gear, and pretty soon I was so busy doing that, I didn’t have time to go to Cannes and Barcelona any more. Which meant I had nothing to lose and could say what I liked.
Many of the carmakers didn’t like me saying what I liked, so an association of car industry press officers despatched a chap from Ford called Harry Calton to speak to my bosses. They told him that my directness was bringing more viewers to Top Gear and that this was good for the motor industry. Which in turn was good for Ford. He agreed and pretty soon I was rushing about, refusing to review the Vauxhall Vectra because it was too boring. And likening the new Toyota Corolla to a fridge-freezer. And saying that the Ford Scorpio looked like a slightly melted waxwork model of Marty Feldman.
This brought me to the attention of The Sunday Times, which asked me to do something similar in print. Which is quite an achievement if you think about it. Being asked to write for one of the most prestigious newspapers in the world, on a subject about which I knew nothing.
I couldn’t even drive very well back then. This was a bit of a hindrance, because to write about how a car behaves “at the limit” you have to be able to take it to the limit, and to find out where that is you have to go beyond it, which meant doing some kind of skid. It was my old colleague Tiff Needell who taught me how to do that, at Kemble airfield, in a Lamborghini Murciélago.
I still don’t do it properly. Instead of using power to break traction at the back, which is what the professionals do, I use too much speed. I arrive at the corner far too quickly, lift off the throttle to pitch the weight of the car forwards and therefore reduce traction at the back, and then turn the wheel while rubbing some rosaries. It’s messy and smoky and scary sometimes, especially when you’re doing it three feet from the back of a camera tracking car. But it looked good on television, and it convinced millions of people that I was some kind of cross between Ayrton Senna and Adrian Newey, all wrapped up in a sandwich filled with idiotic metaphors and similes.
Soon The Sunday Times asked me to start writing about other things as well, which is how I ended up with Adrian Gill, in Baghdad, in 2005, reporting on the Iraq War. I was useless at this as well, choosing to use hyperbole instead of actually finding stuff out. “There were a hundred million soldiers” is so much easier than calling the MoD and finding out how many there really were.
I also had a terrible nose for news. Back in the autumn of 2013 — I did look that up — I was in Kyiv doing some kind of Top Gear live show when I received a call from a different editor of The Sunday Times, asking me to go down to Independence Square to see if the protests were as big as he’d been led to believe.
I was thrilled because this was my big chance to be a proper hack, at the pointy tip of a breaking story. So off I went with a notebook and no pen. No journalist ever has a pen. And having talked to the lone policeman and signed autographs for the six rather bored-looking protesters, I called the editor and said the whole Russia/Ukraine thing was a nonstory.
Incredibly, after 30 years on the paper, I’m still here. But will I still be kicking around after 40 years? With cars I think not. I recently borrowed a 2005 Ford GT and, on a beautiful spring evening, I took it from Chipping Norton to Badminton House, along some of the loveliest and quietest and fastest roads that Britain has to offer, and I truly loved it. But in the not too distant future drives like that will simply not be possible. And cars like that will be gone. It’ll all be 20 mph and giving way to cyclists and pulling over for 60 hours to fill up the batteries. And I want no part of that.
I may not know how proper cars work. But at least they interest me. The new breed? I have even less of a clue what makes them move along and I find them all to be more boring than Jane Austen giving a four-hour talk about Chaucer.
When I began doing this columnism lark you could say that the combustion engine was brilliant and that men can’t have babies. These days, though … you can still say those things. It’s just that now people get very angry with you. And I like that because I’ve always liked throwing rocks in ponds. It’s all I’ve ever done, really. Tried to mess things up. It’s been fun.

Does the red trouser mob speak fluent nimby? You better you bet
By Jeremy Clarkson (Sunday Times, May 28)
I have some experience of not getting planning permission, and what I’ve come to understand is this: whether you want to build a conservatory, or a funeral home, or a nuclear power station, you’ve got to get the language right. Sustainable. That’s an important word. Your conservatory may feature window frames made from depleted uranium, but that doesn’t matter if you describe it as sustainable. And mental health. That’s critical. You need a sustainable sun room full of eco-plants because it’s good for your mental health. Plus you will empower the local building trade in a way that will be “transformative” to the low-income “community”.
Sadly, however, no matter how well versed you may be in modern government-speak, you will come up against a neighbour in red trousers who knows the even more powerful language of nimbyism. And he’s going to say that your new conservatory will cause more “pollution”, “traffic” and “noise”. That’s the holy trinity for those who worship at the altar of Laura Ashley. And if that isn’t working, they’ll wheel out the trump card: dark skies. They’ll argue that your new conservatory will cause light pollution, and then, I’m afraid, you’ve had it. Especially if there’s even a suggestion that you might harm a bat.
All of which brings me on to the Duke of Beaufort. He recently applied for permission to stage two summer concerts in the agreeable grounds of Badminton House — the Who and Rod Stewart, in case you’re interested. And I’m sure his representatives used all the right words.
They’ll have glossed over the fact that it’s bloody expensive to run a big house and new income streams are necessary, because that sort of argument doesn’t sit well in a country where anyone with a big house is wrong. That’s the law. So the duke’s advisers will have relegated the business angle to page 12 of the application and concentrated instead on how the sustainable, low-impact, green events will empower the low-income rural community and boost the mental health of the region’s bats.
Sadly, though, the duke’s neighbours are not just well versed in the language of nimbyism. They are fluent — they are past masters — in the art of objecting. So they started by pointing out there’d be increased traffic in the area and that noise would “reverberate” in nearby villages — presumably causing many bat deaths and “mental health issues”.
Naturally, they also said the concertgoers would engage in “rowdy behaviour”, even though it’s the Who and Rod Stewart we’re talking about. Most of the audience will be in their sixties, and when Roger Daltrey sings, “The kids are all right”, they’ll turn to one another and say, “They really are. Henry’s a commodity broker now, and Harriet is doing ever so well at Freuds.” Then, when it’s all over, they’ll go back to Stanton St Quintin in their Teslas, and Keith Moon will not head over to the local hostelries to blow up the lavatories because he died 45 years ago.
Fearing perhaps the council might cotton on to the fact the audience are extremely unlikely to drive their cars into the nearest swimming pool, the red-trouser people decided then to open up with sustained machinegun fire. Crime. Disorder. Public nuisance. Emergency services. Road safety. Pandora’s box. This was the Middle England playbook, and if they’d stuck to it, they might have got somewhere.
But they got high on their own supply and became silly, saying, “With 11 to 12 hours’ drinking licences, drunks will camp overnight . . . increasing the potential for a major fire incident.”
Right. I see. So this 65-year-old reveller overdoes it on the noon balloons and the Whispering Angel, puts up a tent he’s somehow smuggled into the venue and then, using some of the kindling he’s brought from the wicker basket in his snug, gets a fire going, which, despite the constant rain that goes hand in hand with British summertime concerts, somehow turns into a major Australia-style inferno that completely engulfs three neighbouring villages and ruins the dark skies for miles.
It’s the most preposterous argument I’ve ever heard. There was, once, a fire at an outdoor gig. It was caused by a faulty light on the stage and was quickly extinguished using stamping and a blanket. No one was injured and Bruno Mars was back at the mike eight minutes later. So the fire argument doesn’t wash.
And I’m delighted to say the duke’s local authority saw it for the nonsense it was and gave the gigs the go-ahead. And before you write in saying, “How would you like it if your neighbour invited the Who to perform in his garden?”, I’d say: “I’d like it a lot. Especially if they bring some lasers and do 'Baba O’Riley'.”
I fear, however, that this is not the end of the story, because now “sustainable” has been balanced out by “traffic”, and “empowering” by “light pollution”, the red-trouser brigade is going to become increasingly desperate in its constant battle to keep Britain as it was in 1957.
Mr Sunak announced recently that planners will be encouraged to look favourably on rural schemes, but they’re going to be up against a tub-thumping army that will quickly recognise that the fire argument was a bit of an oxbow lake and will start to argue that the new housing estate for the low-income community will cause a plague of luminous locusts that will spoil the dark sky. Or that it will attract immigrants who all have ebola. And that your longed-for barn conversion is actually a Russian missile silo capable of turning all of Chipping Sodbury into a nuclear desert for the next 10,000 years.

2023.05.30 01:03 Bbrotman23 Halo BassiNest 3.0 Swivel is wobbly…?

My husband and I just assembled the baby’s bassinet (she’s coming in 2 weeks) and we noticed it’s very wobbly on top - doesn’t seem sturdy at all. It’s all out together properly and I did see a few Amazon reviews where parents experienced the same thing…
Anyone have experience with this bassinet?
This is the second one we’ve tried and just want a sturdy bassinet for next to our bed (I may be getting a C-Section so we wanted one like the Halo Swivel).
And no, we don’t want to use a pack n play due to space - we have one but it is going downstairs.
