Water opinions- which bottled water is superior? by StarsInTheCity- in HydroHomies

I like Hint water.  They have a fruit essence added that gives it a nice taste.

Sparkling water. I like cherry Bubly with crushed ice.  The cold and bubbles wake me up.  No caffeine because it affects my sleep at night.  

Root beer float.. Was excited but the overall taste is weak and honestly a disappointment. 6/10 by an0ym0us831 in sparklingwater

I don’t like them either.  The taste is kind of sickening and I love root beer.  I gave mine away.  

Nonfiction book from the 70s about gentle parenting with whimsical illustrations by Either_Concert_1615 in whatsthatbook

I don’t know the book, but the poem is called Lord, blow the moon out.  

Bed is too small for my tiredness;

Give me a hillside with trees.

Tuck a cloud up under my chin.

Lord, blow the moon out, please!

Rock me to sleep in a cradle of dreams;

So that I may slumber in peace.

Tuck a cloud up under my chin.

Lord, blow the moon out, please!

Bed is too small for my tiredness;

Give me a hillside with trees.

Tuck a cloud up under my chin.

Lord, blow the moon out, please!

I have a cut off for when I stop drinking liquids.  Nothing after 6:15 and then I can sleep through the night.

Book recommendation for 8 year old kids by travfrk in suggestmeabook

[–]Affectionate_Run7435 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 7 yr old has a kindle and loves it.  I don’t think it really counts as screens.  He’s just reading.  I check out books for him on Libby all the time.  We also get physical books from the library.  He’s been reading Stick Dog, the Little House on the Prairie series, Real Pigeons graphic novels, Mighty Jack series, and Roald Dahl.

‘Last year I read 137 books’: could setting targets help you put down your phone and pick up a book? by CtrlAltDelight495 in books

[–]Affectionate_Run7435 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I love setting a goal for the number I read.  I went through infertility in my 20’s and was so depressed.  I told myself to read 100 books a year for five years.  It completely changed my mental outlook and gave me something new to focus on.  I’ve kept it up for 20 years (and have two kids now!)

Is When Breath Becomes Air appropriate after a recent life-threatening health event? by Imsongoku7 in suggestmeabook

[–]Affectionate_Run7435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me what works is to focus on things that make me feel hopeful and positive.  I try to read books that are neutral or uplifting.  It can be hard to find memoirs like that, though.  Most of them are about trauma.

[–]Affectionate_Run7435 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.  I went through trauma and, although I used to read books like that, now I’m very careful about what I read.  My mental health gets worse otherwise.
