@ffbride0813 thinks I should do a series of things I buy at Costco and lay J next to it for comparison. I might buy a rack of ribs next week for this purpose.

Mom still does not have a move-in date. Just ... "originally we were shooting for 8/26, but it looks like that isn't going to happen". So, probably mid-September.
I asked for advice a long time ago with bottles. I finally found adiri bottles. After spending a zillion dollars on the they are going well. The ladies at daycare actually tell me what a good eater my kid is. So I basically worried for nothing. She is clearly not starving.
My H still thinks I'm a garbage person for microwaving hot dogs.
Someone remind me of the origin and meaning of the "garbage person" references, please. This is a gbcn thing, no? I feel like I missed something. (And yet I laugh any time someone uses it anyway...)

I think it's out there in parts of the internet as well. But we just use it a lot.
Since I spend a lot of time on political internet, I use History's Greatest Monster instead.
@kirkette , how are the new digs? Are you liking the new area?
Yes, thanks for asking.! As much as I joke about the Irvine Bubble, and all it's out of touch foolishness, it's good to be home! Our family has stopped complaining about us raising the babies in LA. It's so cool having Kirklette go to my alma mater. Nica loves her preschool. Kirk is killing it a work, his bosses and subordinates love him, and he gets way more time with us. John Wayne airport is > LAX in terms of chill and ease (heart)
Best of luck with the boys and a new school year!
Aw, thanks! So glad you are happy and that Kirk is killing it!
The boys all started school this week, with DS3 at the same school as 1 and 2 for the first time. So far, so good. I feel like we are entering the phase when all our kids are in school and semi-independent, but not yet teenage assholes. Kind of a nice little sweet spot
I can't stop laughing at this. LOOK AT ME! I EAT KALE NOW!
You want me to send you some Vegan Conflict Free Cruelty Free Gluen Free liquid pump soap, so we can make your LA/Venice transition come sooner?
I also can send you some Matcha only restaurant coupons, and some Cold Pressed Juicery Non Dairy Gluten Free Vegan Fro Yo samples.
What??? No takers?
Speaking of LAisms, I was just reading in my neighborhood online newspaper about the closing of a Pizza Hut. One of the comments was "I hope this sends a message that chains are not wanted" I'm totally side eyeing that one.
I am going to make every effort to post a picture of my 4'11" 9 yo next to a picture of half a cow just so I don't feel left out.
Your 9 yr old is as tall as me hahahaha
He's kind of a giant. His feet are bigger than mine, and I am 5'7". OTOH, DS2 is a tiny. People will comment on how my kids are "so far apart," and I'm like, "nope, just 2.5 years." DS3 seems to be somewhere in the middle. It's like I have goldilocks kids.

OMG, 1 drop off! You've arrived my friend!
Well, kind of. DS3 is half-day, so I have to deal with the mid-day drop off. And DS1 is in the lower division, while 2 and 3 are in primary, so I have to go through both carpool lines, with their associated nonsense. But other than that, I have definitely arrived!
my brother sent me two apology emails and after my parents had a long talk with him about how he didn't hurt just me but has hurt all of us he sent an apology email to the entire family. It was all very humble and sincere. I've emailed with him a bit and I think we are in a better place now. Basically the whole thing reinforced how incredibly freaking (not gonna use the F word, lol) amazing my parents are. They had my back but also called my brother out in an honest but loving way.
so while incredibly difficult and painful up front, setting boundaries with him brought about some great things hopefully not just for me but for all of us.

Heard back from coroner. It was a massive heart attack. SIL said the kind they can't do anything about. I'm glad she doesn't have anything to beat herself up about or try to have prevented. Since she's a nurse I know she was trying not to agonize over whether something would be different had she been home. I'm glad for her sake that question is answered.

I bought the Best Chairs recliner from BRU. Someone recommended it to me on here. I also stacked as many discounts as I could.
Tell me more about which discounts you used....
I had one of those monthly 15/20% off coupons and opened a credit card for another 10%. Technically I wasn't supposed to use one of them because I had a special order but the sales associate did an override. She tried to convince me to come back and order it on a Thursday for yet another percent off but my weekday schedule is so tied to the hospital that I couldn't commit.
