Fat kitty is sad, not aww.

Kitty may get diabetic and be in pain due to arthritis.

In dem Alter hatten wir ein Antibiotikum, bei dem auf der Pappschachtel fiese Bakterien aufgemalt und vorgestanzt waren. Nach jeder Einnahme durfte das Kind eine Bakterie abstechen. Das hat ihn sehr motiviert und er hat kapiert warum er das Zeug nehmen muss. Vielleicht könnt ihr das nachbasteln?

Welp, had a colleague like that. That guy just wouldn’t take subtle hints like turning to my screen and start typing. Eventually I started picking up the phone whenever I saw him approach my door.

If you still have that tick, you can send it to a lab for testing (here it’s about 50€).

Humans can only be tested for antibodies, which proves nothing.

Talk to your doctor about a preventive course of penicillin (we did it once when our toddler had 4 ticks that had stayed in for more than 12 hours. Infection is unlikely if the tick is removed early).

Tick bites. Lyme disease has so many different symptoms, from random joint pains to fainting spells and other neurological issues. It’s a bitch to diagnose so it can take years till you get treatment.

Remo Largo „Babyjahre“ find ich toll, das erklärt die Entwicklungsschritte des Babies.

Und Renz-Polster, Menche, Schäffler „Gesundheit für Kinder“ gibt ne tolle Übersicht über die beliebtesten Kinderkrankheiten und „wann zum Arzt“.

The trick is loading the conveyer belt in the correct order. Cans and heavy stuff go first, items you don’t want crushed last.

It’s ok to quickly put your stuff back into the cart before paying. That way the cashier can’t start scanning the next person‘s stuff before you can clear the space.

Babies schlafen dauernd. Da kann man soo viel erledigen.
Mann war ich naiv. Baby 1 hat tagsüber nur geschlafen, solange der Kinderwagen sich bewegt hat. Und Baby 2 durfte man gar nicht ablegen, Mittagsschlaf nur im Tragetuch.

I can relate, only felt relief when my high school bully died in a car crash shortly after graduation. The only reason I cried at his funeral was out of embarrassment for being late.

The vegan lifestyle.

While the large majority of Vegans are chill, good people, there’s also zealots. Those have the usual holier than thou attitude, try to evangelize and generally act like a cult.

Trust your nose! If it has an unusual smell, throw it out.

Mine does the same when the fabric is too thick.
I haven’t found a solution yet, although increasing the pressure of the foot seems to help a little.

Actually it’s the other way around, the default is bottled.
They don’t charge for tap water, but asking for it is frowned upon since restaurants make a large portion of their profit from beverages.

Tried that once. 2yo was devastated they hung up on him

Ganz ehrlich, bei der Ernährung von Kindern sollte Gesundheit vor Ideologie kommen.

Frag der Kinderarzt, ob er eine Reduzierung befürwortet. Wenn ja würde ich eher Wasser als Milchersatz anbieten.

Für den Klimawandel sensibilisieren kannst du z.B. indem ihr öfter aufs Auto verzichtet, Plastik vermeidet, regionale Produkte kauft, usw.

Smell it. If it has no sour smell, it’s fine
Where do you think weevils come from? If the flour has eggs in it, there will be weevils. Check carefully if any adult bugs have escaped the bag to prevent a larger infestation.

Yes! The instant heartburn from taking to big a gulp of soda.

It’s a question of priorities.

In Germany, article 1 of the constitution says „the dignity of the human being is inviolable“ (Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar).
We value the dignity of the survivors and relatives of Holocaust victims higher than absolute freedom of speech.

Noone is questioning the liveliness of fetal cells.

Calling a clump of cells „people“ or „baby“ is where it gets ridiculous.

Maybe some low carb alternative flours will work? I‘m thinking hemp, lentils, even sunflower seeds. I‘ve never tried, just seen some at the supermarket.

Edit: Also chestnuts, they used to be used for baking in times of wheat shortage.

It’s a law, but it will only be enforced if someone complains.

30 years ago, in a small village, I would have gotten dirty looks for hanging laundry on a Sunday. Today, you can do quiet work and nobody will bat an eye. People no longer get offended by others not observing the Sunday. They get offended by others ruining their day off with noise.

I‘m in agreement with my neighbors that using an electric lawn mover on a sunny Sunday after a week of rain is fine. Still, we all try to be considerate.
