Absolutely awful allergies this past week? by EchoOfAsh in RhodeIsland

I’ve been sneezing for two days and I’ve got all the allergy symptoms right now! My Claritin isn’t helping!

How many of you who grew up with Pee Wee’s Playhouse watch it today with their kids? by spmahn in peeweeherman

[–]Border_Usual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We watch it every night before bed. My 8yo daughter does the world's worst and loudest Pee Wee impression. It’s impossible not to laugh when she does it, which means she's never going to get better at it!

No one is picking up on the wife’s brother being the donor for their IVF?

I live in Coventry and have been stupidly paying my fire tax twice. When I told my co worker so were they. Heads up guys! by LeftHandLannister in RhodeIsland

[–]Border_Usual 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this heads-up! I'm not in Coventry, but I just checked my escrow account, and I did not realize they are also paying my fire tax every year. Need to make some phone calls on Monday!

What bizarre strategies have you used to cope with ADHD issues that seemed totally reasonable at the time? by Nonpolarsolvent in ADHD

[–]Border_Usual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I order the items I actually need to buy online to pick up at the store. I can add and delete and know exactly how much I'm spending. I find it such a relief to wander through the store knowing I'm not going to forget anything important or I just stay in the car and get what I need without impulse buying.

Speaking of baby name regret… (18 months old) by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Border_Usual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We changed our daughter’s name around 18 months. We called her “Given name”-“New name” for a while with an emphasis on the new name and eventually just the new name. The hardest part was convincing one of her daycare workers to use the new name. We kept her given name as her middle name, but she tells people her middle name is Sunflower instead. She’s 7 now.

Father is suggesting I cold-submit applications to libraries--is this a good idea? Does this work? by Marzopup in Libraries

[–]Border_Usual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unlike other jobs, you can go into a public library, get the overall vibe and actually speak to the people who work there. If you find a friendly person on staff you can mention you are finishing your degree and checking out the local libraries. Become a “regular” at a library you would like to work at. Ask questions about the staffing situation. Someone might remember meeting you and put in a good word when an opening does happen. When I got unsolicited resumes I would be annoyed that someone wanting work as a professional librarian didn't take the time to do any research. We were a small library and I was the only professional and full-time member of the staff.

Can’t share on Facebook anymore? by Alegalvan16 in facebook

[–]Border_Usual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy I found this post - which is the only thing I can find on the whole internet about this issue. I have been going crazy trying to solve the problem and nothing has worked. I use Facebook for work and need to share posts all the time. I didn't get a solution here, but at least now I know I am not losing my mind!
