Can you send me a link? We are still struggling despite a "twilight" bathroom break around 11pm.



Can't find the link, but we ended up just removing diapers (had to to get him to poop on the toilette) . He wet the bed a lot the first week, maybe 5 night out of 7. Wet less the second week. Then he was trained and has never wet the bed again. Prior to this he never woke up dry. Always preface this by saying that he would wake up as soon as he wet the bed. Had he been a kid who could sleep through wetting then I don't think he would have trained himself. We never limit beverages or wake him up to go to the bathroom; he just holds it.

Ditto the above!

I've also learned a lot and found some great recipes in the food forum. The asparagus soup recommended a couple months ago is one of my all-time favorites.


Can you link the thread for the soup? I just did a search there and couldn't find it.


Here it is! http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/624033.page#10483363

I used the counting back from 1000 by 7s at 5am this morning. It worked.

I bought the Hamilton tix when that tip came out and just ordered the wonder hairdryer. This is why I can't quit you, DCUM.

Believe....


I have suggested in that in a couple of posts. It is so great.

You could use it without a blow dryer. I have lots of fine, wavy, above shoulder-length hair, that loves to fall flat. I put in a Biolage volumizer spray, blow dry my hair with head upside down & flip side to side right at the roots. After about 3 minutes (it would only take about 5 to completely dry my hair) I use the Revlon product with my head still upside down & flip side to side. Looks like what a stylists takes 20 minutes to do with a round brush & blow dryer. Just about everyday someone comments on my hair asking if I just got it cut or had it done.


oh, and it takes me about 7 minutes from wet to finished.

This is reassuring. I just saw a Youtube video for this dryer where they said it took them 25 min.


#thickhairproblem. I have fine hair, but lots of it. I can dry & style my hair in the time it takes my thick-haired sister to dry her bangs.


I have thick, curly hair and it takes me about 35 minutes. Great for fall and winter but not when there is humidity. Worth it just for those months though.

I also got my Hamilton tickets through the National Theater subscription. Then I bought the Revlon dryer, which I felt was the most DCUM thing I've ever done. I love it!

Keeping a plastic knife in a zip loc bag next to your toilet so that you don't block the toilet when you flush your huge constipated poop by CUTTING IT UP FIRST!

Oh ok, that's not really a tip that I use, but it's classic and makes me laugh every time.

Um, her bethrothed could either have HPV upon their marriage or he could go out and bring it home to her during their marriage.
Nor is Larla a virgin.
But this is sarcasm, right?

***AND, right now there is a promotion on it on Amazon, there is a 20% off coupon you can clip!

Seriously, this thing changed my hair. I've had many co-workers also purchase it (after recommending it to them), and they all swear by it.


Buying one now...
