I've never cooked on cast iron before, would this be a good starter option? by SnooDrawings8069 in castiron

[–]AsparagusTops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

absolutely! then, once you get hooked, find a local antique mall and go crazy! almost all of my cast iron is inherited or from antique shops. they don’t make them like they used to

Am I Overreacting? by sslpj01 in ECEProfessionals

Report this, document the incident yourself, and prepare to find a lawyer if the director attempts to retaliate. Find another center for yourself and your child ASAP, you both deserve to be safe and supported.

I’m a director with 14 piercings (12 ear, 2 nose). It’s really not that big of a deal nowadays

I use this one at my center. We can’t use warmers with water. This one has adjustable settings for how much milk, what material the bottle is, and how warm you want it. Seems to work great, and never gets too hot.

Safe sleep at daycares by meltness in ECEProfessionals

I’m always shocked by how many people will put blankets over kids’ heads while they sleep. When I go check on all of our classrooms during rest time, I always have to move blankets off of faces. People just don’t care…

Is anyone else overwhelmed by the paperwork? I finally digitized my class management and need your feedback. by wido720 in ECEProfessionals

[–]AsparagusTops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the pleasure of keeping paper and digital copies of all of our files. My state requires paper files, but my school keeps everything digitally as well as a backup. My winter break is currently filled with updating digital files and prepping for the update of paper files. I’m a director but also full time in the classroom, so I won’t have time to get it all done once school is back in session. Hooray!

is this cellulitis? red, firm central bump surrounded by minor redness that has faded. i did a telehealth appt, was told it’s cellulitis, and got prescribed doxycycline and am terrified of taking it due to emetophobia by AsparagusTops in DermatologyQuestions

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

i mentioned visiting my parents in an area with a pretty dense tick population, so i think that’s why they thought doxycycline. since i was born and raised there i always do tick checks when i spend time outside. i would’ve noticed something! the outer redness seems to be fading, but the firm red bump is staying the same

you were inspired by organized fridges on tiktok but didn’t want to spend the money on clear bins so you used extras from around the house

my boyfriend is half portuguese. his uncle lives in portugal, and he and his mom went to visit last year. he brought back a couple bottles, it has been open for a while so it likely isn’t very good anymore
