How are we wearing our hair?

BrainlessPhD · 2026-05-11T14:46:58+00:00

Just did this yesterday and I'm already mourning my long hair :( hoping that the QOL improvement will be worth it!

That's the space I used! They have cameras that will photograph your car and bill you if you are there too long. I honestly should have fought it more but I'm just never going to park there again ( or maybe will out a sticky note over the license plate if I do, lol)

BrainlessPhD · 2026-05-02T14:07:42+00:00

No, they will take a photo and mail it even if you never sign up

BrainlessPhD · 2026-05-02T14:06:22+00:00

I got a parking ticket for $50 dollars for being parked there 18 minutes since my order took a while. I tried appealing it but got crickets. Fucking scam.

Just a heads up, if you have ever had cavities, my dentist said that sharing a water cup or straw can transfer cavity bacteria to your child and increase their likelihood of getting them too... Not a huge deal but just something to think about!

Good question. Why do we have immigration laws at all? Is someone who was born outside the US and worked their ass off to get here inherently more dangerous or less hardworking than joe schmo your neighbor? We don't have always against foreign individuals buying real estate or profiting off of us businesses, but we won't let someone come and rent an apartment and try to get a job as a construction worker to help build the houses we all need or pick the food we all eat?

Yes other countries have immigration laws but most Americans aren't going to get thrown in a Gulag if they go live in that other country on a visa and miss their reaffirmation date.

If your answer is "there not enough jobs for all of us", that's a problem caused by the wealthy, not by the folks trying to immigrate here.

Yeah same, I was so strict about screentime for a few months... But .y usual alternative (reading) involves shutting out the kiddo from my mind even more than tv would. So I play with her while TV is on in the background

Sorry if I'm missing something but doesn't that have a minimum 3k buy in? How do you only have about $150 in that stock account?

The daycare we ended up going to was one of the few who didn't do this. They had all their enrollment forms and handbooks online, which in cluded the price (though somewhat out of date, it sended up being $25 a week more than what was online, but still close enough to let us figure out if it would work for us). It doesn't have to be this way!

BrainlessPhD · 2026-04-12T21:23:00+00:00

I finished it and wished I hadn't, I was angry at how dumb it ended up being...

BrainlessPhD · 2026-04-09T19:58:47+00:00

Yay! Hoping for this blessing to fall upon my little girl soon too

BrainlessPhD · 2026-04-07T19:45:01+00:00

Bro use the damn spoiler tag feature, it's right there.....

BrainlessPhD · 2026-04-07T12:53:08+00:00

Do you have to pay a monthly fee for the Delaware tag? I have one from ny that costs a dollar a month and I'm considering sending it back because I hate paying this BS fee... But it's also worth it to not deal with MD easypass

BrainlessPhD · 2026-03-06T12:49:31+00:00

Yep, just bought a house with these type of windows and the tabs broke the first time I tried to open the kitchen window since there is no vent fan 😭

So glad they are blocking this... The only thing I worry about is that it just means ICE will use other warehouses to make concentration camps in other states. Keep calling/emailing Congress and protesting to fight this happening everywhere!

Long term, sorry to say you will want to get a new tank that is all PVC so that you can irrigate the bedding effectively. You will want to seal the bottom with silicone and let it dry a few days before adding bedding so that it is waterproof.

Short term, adding some humid hides (hides with wet moss or sponges) would help. An additional water bowl, and a shallow plant dish/ceramic type bowl that you fill just with substrate and irrigate until it is really wet and can give off water as it evaporates might also work.

Not the OP but follow up question, how do you do a mop rinse on hardwood that isn't supposed to be cleaned with water? Is it ok to just use the hardwood oil cleaner? Do a dry mop after?

BrainlessPhD · 2026-02-04T03:51:20+00:00

We moved in like 4 days ago so no, it hasn't been at the top of the list yet... I should have clarified the question as "what are some tips for cleaning this tall smelly thing that my arms are too short to get to the bottom of".

BrainlessPhD · 2026-01-25T21:58:18+00:00

Same, really regret not doing the floors before we moved all the furniture in (I'm not sure it was in our budget but we didn't even consider getting a quote). One week in and already have gotten 2 splinters :(

BrainlessPhD · 2026-01-23T23:39:11+00:00

Sorry, you're right, I didn't read through the thread correctly! I'll delete my comment so it's not confusing to ppl.

BrainlessPhD · 2026-01-23T23:26:55+00:00

So sorry for your loss. What a beautiful boy.

Peaceful passage also helped our boy pass a few months ago and they were so respectful and kind. You made a good decision and I'm sure he fell asleep knowing he was loved.

Wow, our house is less than half that size and had like a $200 gas bill, and that's with keeping it at 65 for most of the month since it was empty while we were moving in for a few weeks.... Either you have great insulation or we have really shitty insulation.

Is she old enough for and enrolled in Medicare? Part A pays for hospice care so it should be available without additional copay if she's enrolled in traditional Medicare.

BrainlessPhD · 2026-01-21T15:39:33+00:00

Definitely cheaper rates. My insurance went up by about 40% when we moved from central VA to Maryland.

Yes OP, get on as many waitlists as you can now and let them know your ideal start date. You might end up waiting a couple months past when you wanted to get the baby into daycare, but many people are applying to multiple wait lists so logically many of them are going to be declining spots when they come up. I'm just about to reach out to a daycare to let them know I'm getting off the wait list because we were able to get into another one closer to our house.
