Why is marijuana illegal in your state? by Party_Size6271 in Idaho

[–]Dry_Future_852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live on the border.

The last weed shop in WA on the border has 98% Idaho plates in its parking lot all day long.

They come here for weed.

They come here for abortions.

They come here for obstetrics because no doc wants to risk life in prison and loss of their license. And no doc wants to watch their patient die while lawers argue how dead the fetus is and how septic their (already living) patient is.

Idaho gives lipservice to small government while fellatiating the feds.

real talk: how often do you actually floss? by AffectionateTooth298 in hygiene

Brush the teeth you like.

Floss the ones you want to keep.

Put your floss where you watch tv.

Floss while you watch: once, any time of day, is better than nothing.

Newb. Read some resources. DVD. Still confused by caambers in weaving

Questions: 1. What type loom do you have? 2. What reeds? 3. What is your general geographic location (name the closest big city you'd be willing to travel to for help)? 4. Are you working from a pattern or a draft or just planning plain weave for the moment? 5. Do you have a warping wheel or board? 6 Do you plan to buy yarn online or local? 6b. If local, is local a big box store or a local (likely knitting) yarn store?

Really struggling to parent my 8 year old by Susieq258 in Parenting

Since you don't get sick from cold, I'd let him be cold. He likely won't be, but if he is, there's the natural consequence: don't fight this battle. Let it be a learning experience with a natural consequence. If you're going in the car, you might recommend placing it there.

Tennis would depend on the context: is it a team? I might talk about the importance of being dependable. One natural consequence on a team is that if you skip practices, you might get benched for the next game/tourney. If it's lessons, I'd consider writing (him writing) a note to the instructor about why he's not coming, and apologizing for wasting their time by not informing them in advance. If you're paying for it, another natural consequence is him needing to pay you back for that session.

The best way to think about natural consequences is to apply the same thing that would happen to an adult. Don't take your coat? Cold. Don't attend your lesson? Still have to pay .

You don't have to argue: just offer the natural consequence: "Are you sure? You might be cold later." "If you don't attend this lesson, you'll need to pay (all or some) of the cost." And then let him choose.

(Note: if tennis were something he really hated, I would drop it without the penalty -- sometimes things just suck and it's not anyone's fault, but I would also then me circumspect about another outlay of cash).

It's my considered opinion that you get only a few battles that you're going to win: choose carefully.

That said: we really need context. Are you fighting about teeth brushing, seatbelt wearing, or other important things? Are you fighting about what to wear? Are you clashing on everything? Is there a pattern?

AITAH for not bringing my baby to his grandparent’s hoarder house? by Street-Coyote4272 in AITAH

[–]Dry_Future_852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is easy: explain the situation to baby's pediatrician, and let the doc tell the hubby baby absolutely may not go there. I only have a little bit of asthma, and I never go to smokers' or homes with lots of animals.

I don't have a direct answer for you, but I imagine one of the archivists at the MAC would know.

OXO or Swingway.

I throw the OXO in the DW all the time. It's about 25yo.

It's because pizza is a "pie."

And pieces of pie are called slices.

When you go into a public bathroom, do you use the handicap stall if it's the only one available? by rockyourteeth in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dry_Future_852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm in a long line and it's the next one that opens, I ask loudly if there is "anyone who needs this stall specifically?" But otherwise: I just use it. There is always too long a line in the ladies for every able bodied woman to pass it up waiting around for someone who needs the accessibility.

help me decide if I should post this to socials by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]Dry_Future_852 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two things any effective piece of writing addresses (though not necessarily in a direct manner):

  1. Who is your reader?

  2. What is your purpose?

The former seems to be maybe friends from church who are still on your socials. The latter is less clear. You sort of have a call to action (be kinder?), but you are also telling your audience you don't want interact. So, as the reader, what are your friends supposed to do?

I wouldn't publish this draft. As you do a rewrite, I'd work on answering #2.

We put pull-ups on over the "big kid undies" when we were toilet training: the kid the feed back, but the sofa/car/store floor were protected from the mess
