The ladies on here so super helpful and not judgmental. They provide first hand experienced advice and positive criticism. Can't get that anywhere else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee/page/2#post-1163059 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 10:09:09 +0000 erinpye 1163059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I'm seriously SO happy I was able to help at all. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee/page/2#post-1162687 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 07:42:42 +0000 Boheme 1162687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: I don't know if we'd still be breastfeeding if it wasn't for you! I'm so thankful for the wisdom and experience you bring to the table, particularly regarding tongue tie and lip tie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee/page/2#post-1162545 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 02:31:21 +0000 erinpye 1162545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just about to write what you said, @Rainbow Sprinkles! (Xoxoxoxo). Because of HB, I have found a safe, supportive community of caring, smart mothers (and fathers! Hi, Mr. Bee!). And more than that, I now know 2 amazing women IRL, and they are full of wisdom, are beautiful, smart, fun, and true friends. They are also super moms and I absolutely adore their children. So very grateful! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee/page/2#post-1162534 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 01:03:21 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1162534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love HB for a ton of reasons, but what I love the most is that I met my two IRL best friends on this site. We talk every day and hang out SO MUCH. They are the most encouraging and supportive women I have ever met. They are beautiful and funny and incredible mothers. I mean come on, who texts you at 11:30 at night when your kid is sick and says they will come over and bring you whatever you need? :) :heart: :)<br /> I never would have met them if it wasn't for hellobee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee/page/2#post-1162524 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 00:28:26 +0000 Kimberlybee 1162524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NavyRN2012: I know what you mean! I subscribed to a popular site with lots of members so I thought it would be helpful but the mommies are super mean to each other. I stopped going to the site a few months ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee/page/2#post-1161949 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 15:44:15 +0000 NavyRN2012 1161949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love everything about this site. I hate I didn't find it until after I had LO, but the information I've received has been invaluable. I also love how non-judgemental everyone is. I'm on another forum that can get downright nasty when opinions differ. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee/page/2#post-1161848 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 13:52:00 +0000 Espion 1161848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the wisdom of experience!</p> <p>If you hit a moose or other animal here, it's state law to report it. If you don't take it, then they will take the meat for charity. Nothing is wasted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee/page/2#post-1161563 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 06:29:52 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1161563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: bah aha... I will admit the red ones are my favorites :-) you reminded me of that episode of satc when Carrie says a squirrel is just a rat with a cuter outfit! Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee/page/2#post-1161562 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 06:16:08 +0000 tysonja 1161562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loving this thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee/page/2#post-1161551 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 05:08:56 +0000 Cherrybee 1161551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: @Mrs squirreld: @Penny Lane: @Danizaur: Deer is petty common here. Our butcher has a deal with a nearby stately home - every year they carry out a deer cull to control the population and he gets the carcasses, butchers them and then gives a portion back to the stately home to sell in their shop. He sells the rest. Venison is quite pricey but really lovely. </p> <p>I wouldn't eat squirrel because (don't take this the wrong way, Mrs S), squirrels are vermin here. The grey squirrels basically killed off all the red squirrels and, yeah, they get into your loft, crap everywhere and are viewed as rats with bushy tails. </p> <p>DH and I ordered some kangaroo burgers off the interwebs a few months back. They were nice! </p> <p>Here in the UK, our police carry truncheons and pepper spray. A select few carry tazers but they are classed as fire arms here - as is pepper spray, come to think of it! It's illegal here for civilians to carry pepper spray. Our police don't even have bullet proof vests, just stab vests. </p> <p>Here are a couple examples of British policing at it's finest! Would you give these guys guns?? :heart: :heart: </p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-E_tikSXfc" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-E_tikSXfc</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udEqgJ0cOSw" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udEqgJ0cOSw</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee/page/2#post-1161518 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 00:50:55 +0000 Kimberlybee 1161518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love reading about the different issues and mommy wisdom that this community has to share.

She said there was fur and blood in the passenger door, gross! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee#post-1161306 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 20:35:48 +0000 Penny Lane 1161306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: wow, really? I can't imagine hitting a deer. that must be terrifying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee#post-1161275 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 20:08:55 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1161275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: venison is deer yeah? I've had that before. It's not bad ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee#post-1161274 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 20:08:13 +0000 Katrocap 1161274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@penny lane: My MIL was supposed to come watch DS while he was sick Wednesday. She lives an hour away and hit a deer with her car on the way down! She was fine but the passenger window shattered. And this is the third time she's hit a deer. The second time she hit a deer another driver pulled over and asked if he could have it for the meat. I guess in Pennsylvania (or maybe in the U.S. in general), if you hit a deer it's yours for the taking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee#post-1161271 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 20:05:55 +0000 Penny Lane 1161271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: never even seen a deer before in my life! didn't know people ate deer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee#post-1161270 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 20:05:55 +0000 Katrocap 1161270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another good thing about HB: the diversity of folks and tastes. I'm a vegetarian but am fascinated by the deer/kangaroo/squirrel meat comparisons! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee#post-1161266 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 20:03:49 +0000 Penny Lane 1161266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs squirreld: yeah, I remember it being a big deal when they started giving them tasers too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee#post-1161258 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 19:57:57 +0000 artsyfartsy 1161258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Penny Lane: @Mrs squirreld: Deer is absolutely delicious.

I don't mind it but there are definitely better meats ;-) I can't believe your cops don't carry guns either?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee#post-1161255 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 19:56:38 +0000 Boheme 1161255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the community.

They make a lot of noise which can make it hard to hear a deer's movements, they can scare a deer off, they are fun to hunt, and there are plenty of them so it's quick and easy meat. </p> <p>OMG kangaroos? That is crazy! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee#post-1161209 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 19:18:50 +0000 Katrocap 1161209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like everyone else, I love the community and the civility and genuine respect and interest of all the members. Also getting almost instant supportive feedback on BF, PPD and nearly anything else!</p> <p>@cherrybee. @lovehoneybee: One of my favorite things about HB is learning new words/ideas, like "truncheon" and "Godwin's law"!</p> <p>@pennylane: Where do you live that your cops have tazers? Maybe ours do, too, I don't know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-love-the-most-about-the-bee#post-1161207 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 19:17:36 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1161207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: I'm glad he doesn't waste them :-) do they give off warning to the deers? I never knew people hunted squirrels.... I guess it's like us hunting kangaroos- that always freaks people out... Haha. </p>
