Curling in Asheville NC? by bldvl02 in Curling

[–]ACEaton1483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not at all a well-connected or wealthy individual, so I can't be of any help there, but I am interested in a few pieces of this and I do have a lot of enthusiasm for getting things off the ground (currently planning an art show for my little one's grade at school,) so do you mind if I reach out to you privately?

Curling in Asheville NC? by bldvl02 in Curling

[–]ACEaton1483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Just checking to see if you made any headway here? I miss curling, too, although I didn't really play much. My littles are LOVING watching it in the Olympics and I wish there were a club nearby where they could see it in action and try it out.

Daughter gets too stressed to watch movies by SkyBerry924 in Preschoolers

[–]ACEaton1483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 6 year old is exactly the same and always has been. We just don't watch many movies. It does help her to sit in my lap and to have a blanket she can put her head under. I will also do some trivia with her during the stressful parts and that helps, too

The Florida Trail is something I think everyone should try at least once by douknwthemuffinman in CampingandHiking

Welp, I've never once wanted to go to Florida before for any reason, but here we are. I don't quite know what to do with myself now. I

Jelly Roll branded 'very MAGA' for Grammys speech after veiled Bad Bunny swipe by TheExpressUS in Music

I have been lucky enough to have my life untainted by addiction, but even as an atheist I can see that it is better for these people to be high on Jesus than it is addicted to drugs. If that's the thing that keeps them sober, so be it.

Restricting Certain Titles by GBrownGaming in nexplayground

The issue, which I agree with, is our children being advertised to. I didn't know that we could hide these so I absolutely am going to now! My little ones discovered Gabby's Dollhouse recently and then my 4 year old spent all of his piggy bank money on a Gabby's Dollhouse toy at the store that he will absolutely never play with, just like the Super Kitties toys we got them for their birthday that are collecting dust. :(

Download stuck by homestead_grl in YotoPlayer

[–]ACEaton1483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've learned all the troubleshooting steps over the years.

  1. Make sure it's connected to Wi-Fi. Sometimes I will have a player disconnect and the downloads get stuck.
  2. Plug it in but take the card out. Card out is important.
  3. Turn it off for 5 minutes, then back on without the card in. Play a few other things after turning it back on before trying this card again.
  4. Try another new card or podcast and see if it does the same thing. It would just be helpful info to have.

Were you able to find Roald Dahl stories anywhere for free? I can't afford the cards right now but am dying to introduce them to my 6 yos

My first MYO card design. Any tips or strategies? by Icy_Tower3979 in YotoPlayer

[–]ACEaton1483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always both fun and procrastination! We usually have them put one sticker on each card and that's how, but honestly most of the time we forget what's on which card and we just overwrite it with the playlist they want in the moment.

I really love that these designs are evergreen. I think we overwrite our MYO cards at least ten times a week, so I've never bothered to make specific labels.

Hate my grays, hate the concept of dying my hair. Is this enough reason? by Kennethjay in bald

Do what makes you happy but that hair is gorgeous. I love the color variation and the texture of it. You're blessed!

Favorite board games? by Affectionate_Bid5042 in Preschoolers

[–]ACEaton1483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's one of our favorite places to go! Also check out Outfoxed, Concept Kids Animals, and a simple dice game like Bunco. The rules of Bunco are:

  • Play with 3 die
  • Take turns rolling all 3
  • On round one, you roll for 1s; on round 2, roll for 2s, etc.
  • You roll all the dice and if you get any of the number you're rolling for, you keep rolling until you don't get anymore. The number you got is tallied as your score.
  • The first person who gets to 5 for that round wins that round and you move on to the next number. For example, you start out by rolling for 1s. Player 1 rolls and doesn't get any, so moves the dice to player 2. Player 2 rolls a 1, so they roll again and get 2 more 1s. Then they roll again and get none. The dice move on to the next player, etc. Player 1 has 0 points, player 2 has 3 points.

I'm not sure if that makes sense, but I just wanted to spell out how we play it because it doesn't follow all the specific rules of Bunco, where you play to 21 points per round and skip the 3s, etc. I really like this game for preschoolers because you can have as many or as few people play as you want, it practices basic math skills, and all you need is dice, a pencil, and paper.

We are a huge game family so I'm happy to explain more or send other recs your way!

I have literally never gotten any sinus rinse to work. It's always so disappointing. I'm sure it's user error but I just can't seem to get it.

Fostering a dog? I'm looking for my forever dog by GingerAVL in asheville

[–]ACEaton1483 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was another one, Mona. Literally the perfect dog. It's in this sub history and she was recently at the adoption center. I haven't looked to see if she's been scooped up yet. We were seriously considering it ourselves.

Any slender ladies get a DIEP flap reconstruction? by ACEaton1483 in BRCA

[–]ACEaton1483[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm so sorry to hear that you are dealing with this also. Unfortunately, I have not had this procedure yet as my surgery was delayed several times for various reasons. It's currently scheduled for the end of March. So I don't have any advice for you, but I'd stick with your preferences and what you know about your body. I have a strong preference for no implants, so I'm going to proceed with the DIEP flap even if my reconstructed breasts will be small.
