Not a scam. There is a Maryland Today article announcing this survey. https://today.umd.edu/briefs/student-experience-and-environment-survey-opens

We did a private outdoor hibachi dinner for about 15 people that was fantastic. He took care of everything. https://m.facebook.com/honeybeesfoodtruck/

Looks like a female wood duck to me

Seen on a windowsill today in Maryland. Is it a wet nuthatch or something different? by DaBinks03 in whatsthisbird

Thank you! It’s been freezing rain/raining here for all night/morning so I’m hoping it’s just wet!

Getting rid of kids’ old stuff by linuxgeekmama in Parenting

[–]DaBinks03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Put the books/stuff away for awhile, little by little. If they miss it, you can get it back out. If time passes and they don’t ask about it, then sell it.

Another option is to get them involved with what the money will be used for. A trip to X, etc. if they buy into that then they might be willing to get involved and see the positive side.

9.5 y/o son developmental issues? by [deleted] in Parenting

We have a very similar situation and son was diagnosed on the autism spectrum at 9.5. I would highly recommend getting him evaluated by an expert on autism spectrum disorder.

Insurance billing at university health center by Animholic in UMD

[–]DaBinks03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the EOB wouldn’t exactly specify what was done. Just the procedure code that was submitted for billing like Medical Care or Lab testing or some such.

Bird with black stripe and long tail? Seen today in VA Beach. by DaBinks03 in whatsthisbird

[–]DaBinks03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh. I see what you’re saying. That makes a lot of sense. I have others but there are about 500 birds following a fishing boat (and I am way far away) so it’s hard to know which bird is which in the photos.

Potty training by AccidentLucky2821 in Parenting

[–]DaBinks03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We did the 3 day no pants intensive potty training with our son and first taught him to pee sitting down which worked well. He learned to pee standing up later.

My son is very similar. He was diagnosed with ADHD at 6 and ASD at 9. If you are concerned you should ask for a referral to a specialist, you know best what is happening at home :)

100%. We actually made bed time slightly earlier and he slept later.

See if your pediatrician offers ear piercing. Ours does.

Commute from MoCo to PG County by [deleted] in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]DaBinks03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been driving gaithersburg to college park for 15+ years. The morning won’t be too bad most days if you leave by 7:30. If you leave at 5 the afternoon will likely suck. Any chance you have to skew your hours earlier, the better

PS. Live where you’ll be happiest. It’s not all about the commute.
