th3stryck3r Omg I have a new keyboard so I don't know if that's right bur I've never had white cherries. Are they the same taste wise? Because I love red cherries but am always worried about the mess when giving them to w. Also, how do you pit them?

They are also called Rainier cherries. They aren't really white– they're more yellow, but they aren't the deep red that bing cherries are, and so the juice is way less messy. This is the kind I am talking about.
I use the "poke" method for pitting cherries, with a chopstick. I just push it through the stem end and it pops the pit out.

+1, except I use an icing tip from a cake decorating set (is that what those are called?). It's the perfect size, you just push the cherry on top of it and the pit pops out. So much faster than trying to halve the cherry and remove the pit afterwards.
And now I'm wishing I bought cherries instead of grapes this week.
FYI aplacetomeet has a board for us now so I setup a roll call
So I'm sure you meant this from a good place, but I'm having feels about you coming in here trying to herd us. You haven't been here, you're not our mod. @betweenthelines is the one who has been passing all of the important information to everyone. We've been focused on ensuring we have the least moves possible to keep our group together. And when I needed to tag out for a few days @betweenthelines waded through all the boards to make sure things weren't missed.
So please, post with us, you have been missed. We love having our Aug15 ladies visit us and post. But don't try to direct us like you're our mod who has been here the entire time.

Feeling blah today. Hoping to get outside but my preschooler is crabby.
I met with a friend for a play date this morning. It was fun to get out of the house.
Our moms club has a babysitting co-op. It's kinda nice because if moms have a doctors appointment or something they can utilize it. It's pretty new and only been around 2-3 months. You earn points for babysitting and lose them when you have another mom babysit. I used it when we had kindergarten sneak peek. Another mom is looking for someone to watch her 3.5 yr old next week for about 2 hours. I offered to help her out and she said she's rather have someone else do not who has kids closer in age to her daughter. Ethan is about 2 yrs younger (would be napping anyway, which I told her) and s1 is 5 (they are 1.5 yrs apart). Of course my anxiety is messing with me and I'm feeling like she might not like me much or something. Or thinks i suck at parenting and doesn't want me in charge of her child. Especially since the last time she needed help (before the co-op started) she also denied me because her daughter "just doesn't know my kids and wanted her to play with someone she knew" (and this time it would have been just E.) in this situation she was moving and wanted to get some packing done without her daughter around. I'm probably overreacting but there are only 10 members, including her and me, in our co-op. So it's not like there are many options on our group at least. She did say "she'd let me know" which I think is code for "I'm going to find someone else or take her with me to my appointment"
ETA when I say they are 1.5 yrs apart i mean that literally. She was born in September and s1 in march.
I went to a placetomeet and setup my profile. Checked to see if Aug 15 had a board because it didn't when i checked yesterday. Board is there! Huzzah! But wait no posts. So I started one because I don't need to wait for others to get shit done.
I get it. Y'all separated yourselves from FB and I wasn't able to keep up both places. And now your pissed. I do care about y'all and as much as it sucks I can't keep it together to be consistent on here the thought of losing you "friends" I could not handle.
But hey fuck me right because my commitment doesn't match yours. It seems that it's widely agreed that I should be voted off the island so no hard feelings.
abvintage, no one's pissed, people are just a little curious to your intentions. what ampaints said wasn't a you against us mentality. I'll apologize for her if that's the way you took it.
I'll also apologize for not creating a thread fast enough this morning, after requesting the board to be set up. I was at the doctors office, than at work, were I am doing the job of 2 different positions right now. I'll try to be quicker tomorrow.
abvintage if you had looked around you would have seen that we had discussed waiting to see where we're landing because keeping the group intact is 100% our goal. So busting in and saying go here now is not as helpful as you intended.
Again, please feel free to stay and post, but maybe read stuff. Know that with the 4676423579974 pinned posts @betweenthelines has means we have a plan.
My intention as always is to try to be more active. I want to start out strong and try to recommit. It feels very much like hey you haven't been here so you can't post with us. I didn't realize the rules had changed from whoever gets there first to whoever has been the most consistent.
And this just feels weird now. Like I was publicly shamed and everyone was laughing at me. Which normally I can move on quite gracefully but it feels different here. The words I've always read is hey we miss y'all (old posters) please come back and play. But now it feels like you'd prefer to keep it small and compartmentalized. It does feel like us/them.
Look y'all mull it over and let me know. I don't want to be where It's just uncomfortable and awkward for y'all as daily posters. But either I'm in or out. No in between.
eta: I never said go here now, I said I created a roll call. I've been keeping up on all the posts and I realize no decision had been made. I also no others had been posting on politics so I saw no harm in having a pseudo home while you're feeling out other boards.
If you want in then be in abvintage. Both of my posts have said to stay. Of My tone is coming across harsh know that it comes because there's been a lot of crazy here and we're working hard to ensure we don't make hurried moves that means we lose people.
I think you know I'm a direct person and I would say directly gtfo if that the way I felt. I don't, I'd love for you to be a regular poster again. The people who went to Facebook have been missed.
I'm just trying to keep everyone together. Tensions are high and people are fucking frustrated. And rightfully so. But we need to just chill a little until the big decisions are made.

Agreed. It sucks that we split to begin with. I don't want to lose anyone else due to premature moves.

Need a cold remedy I can take while nursing... ideas?
Saline nasal spray/neti pot/sit and cry
Feel better!
What are your symptoms? My last cold when W was little I used the humidifier, lemon water with honey, Saline spray, and a few cough drops. They usually have stuff in them that can hurt your supply so use sparingly. I can't see how little your little is but the older they are the safer it is to take normal cold stuff and not the tried and true method of crying in a corner layloo08 recommended. Lol hope you feel better soon.

Hard pass on the Neti Pot lol. I kid you not the only time I sucked it up and tried it I had water go in and never come out lol... I can't figure the damn thing out!
I ended up calling the pedi and they said plain Zyrtec would work...ugh!

packmomma throat tingles and sinus funkiness. Basically the precursor to a cold. Hoping to kick it out asap because I'm leaving tomorrow morning and the thought of a 2 days drive with the kids while sick sounds just awful. Blech!

I would go with a humidifier and heat up lemon with water and honey (as sour as you can stand it). I know it's silly but it always kicks a cold out. You usually sweat it out over night.
tmclawchick, I am also NOT a netipot fan. I tried it while pregnant with A and hated every second of it. It felt weird and didn't do anything to help me. I know this is an unpopular opinion, and it's not even Thursday!

I'm only a fan because we've done so much stuff (drywall etc) and have used the neti pot where the water runs white and goes clear as we keep using it. It's gross and uncomfortable but anything to clear out my sinuses from that junk.thats with using masks.
I had any appointment with my OB today too get an exam, bloodwork, and discuss the surrogacy with them. I was so happy to hear they've done a bunch, one of the ultrasound techs has done several. We talked about what my delivery would look like and the logistics. It's awesome they were super encouraging.
