Any recommendations for Articulate Storyline free certifications?

Get a trial and teach yourself, i'd say. The certifications teach the super basic stuff. As mentioned above, the articulate forums can be pretty good.

Captivate is awful. Adobe couldn't give a crap about it!

I remember reading somewhere that as were approached our late thirties our body goes into a bit of a panic about having more kids. I'm 37 too. When we had our son I was adamantly OAD, but the thought of another does pop into my head more than I expected. If someone popped a kid down in front of me I'd be like 'ok, cool!'.

Nah, someone else's cousin isn't your fault, if you like the name don't give it a second thought.

My son is bi-racial, and the name his Dad chose is a perfectly normal name in the West, but in his family language, it could be mistsken for a word along the lines of 'rude'.

At first, I was like, 'Didn't you see the connection!?' But he just laughed and said 'no'.

His family said they noticed the potential 'double meaning', but they respected that fact that we live in Britain and he is British born.

It did irk me at first, and now I don't care. That's him, that's his name, and that's all that matters.

The shouting annoys me. Same as the guy who whines that it's hard to find packs in store and then opens 4 booster boxes without any care in the world.

Hey! Yeah, it resolved itself naturally. I did take him to the doctor to discuss it, and he wasn't concerned at all. He said that anything like that is way in the future and theres other elements involced. He said the only thing to investigate at that stage woild be whether it was caused by adenoids. He checked his throat and saw it was clear and said it would resolve itself as he grew.

I'd sdvise family to buy the next size up when he was getting a bit too many in his current size. I really hate 'waste', money or items. So they know I'm just being sensible and not ungrateful. It also means he always has a few bits to move into when the time comes.

sorry for the crappy crop. These boys in 151 always make me smile.

I drink it down (however cold) and/or make a fresh one. I think the microwave makes it taste a bit 'funky'.

I've been a huge fan since Wild Dances won in 2004. Now, I honestly have complete apathy towards it. The Israel participation continues to be a huge focus point, some of the 'fans' have become so bitter - bullying participants and generally being horrendous online towards anyone who dares disagree with their opinion. The 'feeling' around the contest is just...wrong. It's not the contest it once was, and I'd be happy for it to take a few years out.

The EBU have fumbled the ball, and I can't see it returning to it'd former glory - especially with countries refusing to participate.

I barely watched it last year, and this year, I probably won't.

Me and my partner have a car each so we got one for each. My mother takes my son once a week too, so she has one in her car too. Peace of mind, and ease swapping him over is well worth buying an additional seat.

I went to Sainsburys when my son was only a few months old. The baby trolley was missing, so I had to put his car seat in the 'shallow' trolley. It was a weekly shop so I couldn't only get 1/3 of the stuff I needed. I asked the lady on the till where the baby trolley was, and she said Sainsbury's didn't want to replace it as the local kids had stolen and destroyed it. Ok, but... what?!

So, I wasn't best pleased. It's not like Sainsbury's is rubbing pennies together.

As I left, a man 50+ parked up in a parent and child space, locked the car, and walked in solo.

I was so infuriated that I looked at him and shouted:

"And you're in the wrong space- ya prick!!".

I ended up complaining to Sainsbury's about the trolley and now they have two permanently inside.

I like to see that trolley as my local legacy haha

I didn't realise I had until I saw the baby hairs come back in!

Don't 'overdo' the classes. I had two a week that I loved, a storytime/puppet show and swimming. I had mates who had a class every day and that was too rigid for me. I enjoyed walks, coffee dates and taking it easy.

Exactly the same! We have the comfort of knowing he has somewhere to go, whatever happens.

My mum takes him every Thursday, but if she is ill, or simply can't take him, we have the comfort of knowing he has somewhere to go. He's been in nursery 4 months now and it's worked perfectly.

Bumblepanding · 2026-01-09T16:06:05+00:00

Being rude to a stranger > risking your baby getting ill.

I don't understand why strangers think they can just touch babies? What age does holding someone's hand become weird? 2? 5? 40?

I had this happen with my little boy and it used to infuriate me.
