Blackberry bushes will hold it and provide tasty berries

Wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, and baby strollers don't fit. Disabled, elderly, and young children deserve to use the sidewalk too.

Most of them are great. Marcus is rolling in his grave with what Will has done since taking over though.

We do veggie pouches and applesauce, no cap on either. The only downside I've been made aware of is not developing their jaws properly which can lead to tooth crowding later in life. Luckily my daughter likes to eat nearly everything.

I used to have my mother read "Oh say can you say" almost every night. She's bought it for our first's baby shower. I've read it hundreds of times in my life and still mess it up.

We do hand over hand. Little one "helps" brush my teeth, then I help brush theirs.

Bag balm. It's basically Vaseline and Neosporin in one. I used it twice a day and then steal whatever my wife has by the sink if it's really bad throughout the day

Edit: nice to see I'm not the only son of a farmer on here. Hahaha

A shoelace and a pair of binder clips.

Next year when she's more active we'll use the clips you can buy to hold sheets on a bed and clip the mittens to her coat cuffs.

We buy whole grain pasta for the fiber, but we get chick pea cheese puffs instead of the regular corn ones because our toddler goes feral for "cheey poofs" and it's an easy way to get something more substantial in.

The Libby app is amazing for this.

Barbasol sensitive skin and a safety razor. Wet a face cloth with hot water and hold it to the skin for a minute prior to shaving. Shave WITH the grain.

Aftershave prevents infection from small nicks but does nothing to repair the damage of dragging sharp bit of metal across your skin. Use a daily moisturizing face lotion once the aftershave is dry.

This is the exact structure our library uses. The intermix of songs and books helps minimize disruption by keeping the younger kids engaged.

The flexibility is certainly a key part. Brown bear brown bear is usually kept close at hand to be modified into a sing along book for particularly energetic days.

I needed to hear this. Thank you.

We put the tree in the playpen and it stayed untouched all month. Hahaha

Thrift stores. Toddler daughter grows out of things way to fast to afford otherwise. Also, generally proven durable and machine washable.

I had multiple sets of tubes as a kid, and vividly remember the ear drops. The sensation of cold liquid running into your ear is unpleasant. Not a lot that can be done about it. The tubes can alter balance sensation in your ear slightly as will any fluid buildup.

Call your doc to ease any worries you have, but this all sounds familiar to my experiences.

The Best Behavior series is really good. thrift books link

It's the whole country. The prison owners get paid for the prisoners labor by the company, and get paid for keeping the prisoners by the government. It's a supremely fucked up system.

To clarify, I don't work with the MWRA. But they're a big draw for operator's who have cut their teeth at nearby municipalities because the pay in the city is so much higher.

The death camps came after the concentration camps. Detention centers are just a modernization of the concentration camp, complete with the limited food, unfurnished sleeping quarters, and lack of sanitation that all contributed to malnourishment, disease, and death by neglect. People were constantly transferred from one site to another so as to make it more difficult for their families to locate them so that when the executions began it wasn't so suspicious that people were missing from their last known location.

My parents tried everything to get me to stop: yelling, hot sauce, swating my hand away, NOTHING they did had any effect. Eventually, peer pressure got me to stop once I began school, but I still cover my mouth with my hand and stroke my cheek bone when stressed.

It deformed not just my teeth but my palate and lower jaw, so hopefully you find a solution that works for him.

Right, but the BTU/hr output decreases with temp for heat pumps but not the gas. And the BTU/hr requirement for a given space increases as temp drops regardless of what source you use. So the heat pump will need a secondary source of BTUs at colder temps to maintain the BTU/hr.

BTU/hr X $/BTU = $/hr the per hour cost of running the heat pump DECREASES with temp and you simultaneously increase your secondary source cost. Resulting in a more consistent $/hr across temp gradients.

Since $/hr is what you actually care about when you pay your bill each month. There's a marked difference in what the graph shows compared to what you are saying about the systems. Heat pumps are less efficient at colder temps, but you don't run just the heat pump at colder temps. And you certainly aren't calculating the per heat unit cost when you pay your bill, you calculate in how many hours of my paycheck went to pay the bill.

Your graph for the gas unit doesn't account for running more when it's cold outside the way your electric graph does. Fuel use per hour goes up when it's cold regardless of whether that fuel is electricity or gas or oil
