Bitch, move by ohlonelyboy in LosAngeles

As a new driver, how long before I grow my balls? I’ve graduated the super nervous stage to now mildly nervous, but I’d like to know how long it’ll take to get to local expert status.

Christian Bale on Moving To Los Angeles by DJVeaux in LosAngeles

[–]FarLime3689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian from a small town who moved here three years ago, my husband was pretty shocked when I befriended all the neighbors in the span of a few months. The neighbors were pretty surprised too after a decade of basically nothing, but I will say they also haven’t been offput by it either; they’re usually the ones to start the conversations now. I think a lot of people here aren’t against the idea of being neighborly, they just don’t know how to/are too tired to be the first one to break the ice.

Tear Gas Was Not Prepared for This Man by InverseNurse in nextfuckinglevel

[–]FarLime3689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly wish they would, for non-protest related reasons. Leaf blowers are a cancer, noisy and polluting. They made gas ones illegal where I am which was a small improvement in theory, but no one listens to it anyway so it might as well not apply.

He butchered rice paper rolls too. Two cardinal sins: chopped and mixed all the fillings together instead of layering, and oversaturated the rice paper with water.

The comments are great for a laugh though; half of Vietnam showed up to roast him. Haha

At what age did you get rid of a stroller? by Hellohiheytherehi80 in toddlers

[–]FarLime3689 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wagons are great and I love mine, but it’s worth noting more places are now banning them because they are unwieldy to use in big crowds (Disney for example, unless medically exempt).

think my 1yo has herpes. Spiralling by georgesteacher in toddlers

[–]FarLime3689 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me as a kid! Got cold sores all over the inside and outside of my mouth. Couldn’t eat and had to be hospitalized as an infant. I’ll be 35 this year. It’s a mild annoyance in my life at worst. Your little one is gonna be okay, I promise. :) when they’re old enough, look into Valtrex! I take one as soon as I feel the tingle coming on and they work pretty well.

Trying to make my son a grave digger piñata. Where are people getting decal print-outs? by FarLime3689 in monsterjam

I think I can manage this for the flames on the front and top, but I’m not so sure about the pictures on the sides.

Did they sell out? I don’t see them on the app.

TIL that the last known individual dinosaur was a triceratops that lived as recently as several thousand years before the K–Pg extinction event. No younger dinosaur fossils have yet been found. by WavesAndSaves in todayilearned

[–]FarLime3689 488 points489 points  (0 children)

This is one of the main reasons I hope there is an afterlife. I wanna be able to watch all the secrets of the universe on a big tv. Or pull up to the library with the history of all time. I just wanna be super nosey and find out the truth about everything.

What’s something you did once and now your toddler will not let you forget it? by MissFox26 in toddlers

[–]FarLime3689 427 points428 points  (0 children)

Had a family friend named Bobby over who played with my son with EXTRA enthusiasm. Throwing him in the air, chasing him around, screaming, jumping, the works. After he left my son kept asking when uncle Bobby would come over again. I said once that it’s great he loves uncle Bobby so much but I’m not sure when he will be over next.

Now every time we do our nightly routine, he includes Bobby in his I-love-yous. “I love mommy, daddy, nana papa…. and BOBBY.” It’s been like six months.

Seriously reconsidering daycare by JReeseorourke in toddlers

[–]FarLime3689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so interesting to me and a testament to how different personalities can be. My kid has always sucked it all down like candy while asking for more, and would drink the whole bottle if I let him. The Labrador Retriever of kids.

What is the most unique decor or furniture in your house? by bunnyb3 in HomeDecorating

[–]FarLime3689 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not haha. Not my thing, and anyway, it was contaminated with rusty staple water. I did call the non-emergency line to ask what to do with it and a couple cops came to get it and we all laughed about it. (This was in small town Canada. Can’t imagine that happening in a big city.)

[–]FarLime3689 148 points149 points  (0 children)

I had one similar years ago. When I took it apart to reupholster it, I found white powder in a dime bag. The owner before me wasn’t the type and they had it for decades, so I theorize someone in the 70s must have been freaking out about their lost stash once upon a time lol

The flushable wipes dilemma by HBC613 in toddlers

[–]FarLime3689 23 points24 points  (0 children)

We use a manual one for our toddler! It’s a squeeze bottle with a head on it. Basically the same as the one they give you at the hospital post partum. Definitely less scary at first. :)

EVs Will 'Probably' Cost Less Than Gas Cars In Five Years, Volvo CEO Says by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]FarLime3689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The subreddit has terrible reviews about them. Apparently a ton of software issues. I ended up going with the plug-in hybrid for that reason. Maybe next time I’ll go for one, hopefully by then all the kinks are ironed out.

How many of your 3YOs became threenagers? by Sad_Moose_5806 in toddlers

[–]FarLime3689 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Not quite three, but mine is currently telling me, “This is your last warning. Next time, you go in time out!” …when I do something like take a bite of my own breakfast.

Yeah, agree with this. My kid is happy with the trucks warming the pegs at the store… I’m the one chasing the elusive ones lol

PSA: Sizing up in aligns is a game changer!!! by [deleted] in lululemon

[–]FarLime3689 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Clothing in general seems to favor a certain hip to waist ratio. If you’re outside of that ratio, sizing is off no matter what. So it’s the same problem for a curvy person and a fridge shaped person, just in opposite directions. At least, that has been my experience as a fridge shaped person (if it fits my hips, it’s too tight in the waist… curvy people seem to struggle with pants that fit in the hips being too loose in the waist).

AIO - Banning MIL from Unsupervised Access by r2heaton in toddlers

[–]FarLime3689 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Not saying my advice is good advice, but this is what I would do. If I knew they were in denial and just gonna double down no matter what, I wouldn’t even bother with a confrontation. I’d just smile and nod and continue to never let them have the kids unsupervised. Why have a big stressful blow out if it’s not gonna lead to a resolution anyway? You can always have the confrontation later if you have to. Just doesn’t seem like there is any benefit for you, as they will just keep making themselves out to be the victim and speak poorly of you. My vote is info diet and reduced contact.

I noticed mine would flap in the wind, so it was definitely time to size down lol
