You all know I teach new nurses. Today a brand new group had their first class with me. We do a 30 minute icebreaker/introduction. I have them pick their favorite color and then give them a question to answer based on their color (and I’m totally flexible if they want to answer a different question). Today one question was “what is your favorite trip and why?” I normally learn a lot about them and start to able to connect based on their answer. Today one said their favorite vacation was a trip to Turkey because of the beautiful sites. I was getting ready to connect with this nurse because I got to have a lay over in turkey before and it was gorgeous. However I didn’t get to that comment because he kept going…”and it was my favorite because that is where I lost my virginity!” It was good we wear masks. Guys this is in a work setting with 30 other people he just met. I responded “well I don’t think anyone else will be able to top that introduction” and just kept going.

rainbowsockmonkey how did you like the travel booster? I need one for our upcoming trip... We liked it. It went in my backpack that i took on the plane. Dd1 thought it was a little weird at first, but she hasnt sat in a backless booater before. She did have a little trouble getting buckled the first couple of times, but that because the lap belt needed to go through both od the guides, and it was tricky for her to do the one closest to the buckle after it was buckled. Once I showed her, she got it.

Do any of you have a (preferably free, but if it's really good and worth it then I guess not free ok too) podcast app for android phones you would recommend? There are just too many choices and I didn't like the one I had put on my old phone but no idea which other one would be better. Ive been using the google podcast app since this summer. I like it. I ususally download 3-4 episodes of podcats at a time that way when im listening Im not using data all the time

Hey hey! Glad you got a pretty good result back from your MRI activebaby. Hopefully they can put your mind at ease with it being benign. Just busy around here, I didn't tell you guys but I decided several months back to finally sit down and start my natural body products business. Just a small side business of course, so have been sourcing supplies and have so many boxes delivered. Been busy making and trying out different recipes. I made 2 batches of soap last week and love the first one I made so much! Making body butter and more soap this weekend. I think I am crazy as I don't have enough time as it is but just needed to do this. I need more in my future than looking back at life and saying I just worked in a garage 🤷♀️

Does anyone who has a video game system let their kids play with others? If so how do you monitor who they play with? DS wants to play with one of his friends but I don't want him playing with random people.

There are others that play in Roblox that we don’t know but they aren’t to “friend” them.

She talks to approved friends and cousins on messenger kids while playing the game. I have her kids messenger duplicated on my phone so I can see all interactions and I have to approve any friend requests..

We have Nintendo online, we set up a play date w a friend and the parents call on FaceTime so the kids can talk then I go to the game they want to play and connect the friend. I would never let them just play randomly without me there. They are also allowed to play w friends on Roblox and their siblings.

Not a great weekend for me. Everything was fine and went grocery shopping on Saturday and did a few things around the house. BF wanted a burger so went for take out for our dinner.
Then when I went to see if he wanted to watch a show in evening he just said he wanted to break up and things had changed for him. Wasn't sure if he wanted the commitment for the future anymore, but he still loved me. Like wtf? So he just moved most of his things out when I had a play date on Sunday. Both Peyton and I are devastated.

I'm so gutted for you guys. Things were sometimes hard with shift work and him being tired but I didn't think that was enough to break up and leave.

Yeah I mean you would think it would warrant some conversation before going to this step. I'm sorry.
