I know it’s a couple of weeks but my husband and I are hosting my mom for Christmas and I’ll be 25 weeks. I love cooking so I am thinking this will be my last big holiday before the baby I can cook for. I usually do a beef Wellington but don’t like steak cooked to the 145 that my Dr wants. What are some pregnancy safe holiday meals?

I’m waiting to hear back from my new company on start date but should be soon. I have a vacation planned at what I think will be the end of the 2 week notice I plan to give. Is it bad that my vacation will cut the 2 week notice short?

Feel like language is a huge barrier to me. I am so frustrated I can’t express my thoughts and happy hour is just unpaid torture

Anyone watches The Handmaids Tale? Yesterday’s episode was one of the best yet. Thoughts? (Spoilers ofcourse don’t click if you haven’t watched it)

Recommendations for sushi dinner spots in San Francisco? Hoping for good atmosphere without being too wildly expensive.

If you're looking for inspirational films about addiction I highly recommend The Resurrection of Jake the Snake Roberts. It's a documentary about the wrestler who had about as bad an addiction problem as you can imagine. It goes through his problems, despair, but also shows his road to recovery through platonic love, support, and he finds redemption. It's great for anyone like me that tried and failed to get sober for years. I have over a year now for the first time.

Help me with my struggle!

I'm in Oklahoma, and an avid Aldi shopper. Prior to COVID, my favorite merlot was routinely stocked there - under $6 a bottle and better than many $30 bottles I've had. It was by Burlwood Cellars. Sadly, supply chain issues have apparently done a number on Aldi's wine selection and it's not carried there anymore. I've searched high and low for a comparable merlot, but to no avail. So I need alternate suggestions or better still, somewhere I can buy my old fav.

startup Gig Alert: I am looking for a brand designer to join our startup team at Lifelines (truly a startup and we’re not in stores yet).

Thoughts on Mother NY?

Anyone get exhausted by the choices we have? Going off another post on finding grocery shopping exhausting, I cannot for the life of me decide what I want to eat for the next week given there are soooo many options 😕

So, I was prepping my shopping list and making my plans for Thanksgiving Dinner and I just couldn't get into it. The shopping, the cooking, and omg all of the cleaning...all for about 20 minutes of eating. So, I've decided to skip the Thanksgiving routine and have decided to take my family out to eat this year for Thanksgiving. Any recommendations on a good family restaurant open this Thursday?

Anyone get a verbal offer where the hiring manager tells you they will be sending a formal offer letter, but be patient. No details on compensation, benefits, PTO, etc shared at all. It’s been a week and I’m still waiting. Not sure if this is an ominous sign.

Salary for a CA fresher in TIAA India as an internal control analyst

Quick question for you IP attorneys if the website and store front sign says “abc fresh market” and if you are filing the mark under currently using base do you have to file the full make or can you just file an application for “abc”. Will the examiner have an issue since the mark displayed on site and retail shows the full name “abc fresh market “ or since it’s descriptive you can file for just “abc” NOTE I AM USING ABC AS AN EXAMPLE

Has anyone been able to get pregnant/have a healthy pregnancy with mild uterine prolapse?

Hi! 26.5 weeks and already feel done. Gonna be a long 3 months from here.

Parents to be: Has anyone not changed their last name and come up with a compromise for naming your kids’ last names? It’s strange to me that the dad’s last name is still the default whether or not the mom took his name. (Apparently I’m in the minority, only 20% of women retain their name) What’s your plan and what’s been your experience? Also very interested in how LGBTQ+ community handles this.

Newly pregnant here! Anyone get pregnant right after starting a new job? Nervous about telling my team and needing to take leave within my first year at the new company.

When I was taking a walk earlier, a big dog suddenly ran out of a house and ran straight towards me. I was very scared, so I quickly turned around, and the dog pushed me on my back. I emailed the doctor to see if I should go in for a check. Meanwhile, I am wondering what I can do. The neighbor didn’t say sorry or anything. What is something is wrong and the neighbor should be responsible? Thanks

Hi folks, need your help! Just found out that we’re pregnant (we were not actively trying so kinda surprised 🙈). What brand prenatal vitamins would you recommend? I’m seeing mixed suggestions on Folic vs. Folate - which one is important?

Looking for a miracle here. Third trimester and I’m just miserable all around so any relief even just on the acid reflux part would be life changing at this point!!!

Anyone else find it weird for their male boss to WhatsApp you asking about how you are (prior to your due date and prior to giving birth)? He has my private WhatsApp because he insisted and I stupidly in hindsight obliged. Just wish I knew how to politely get out of this. I figured I'd email HR like they told me once I gave birth and at some point email him as a courtesy :/ i live in Germany so am already on mat leave hence why he doesn't know yet if I've given birth.
