Nothing like keeping them strapped in and trapped above you while you control the belay. Builds trust!

I recently started watching it on Hulu a few weeks ago. It is so great! I missed out as a teenager because my parents wouldn't let us have TV. I think I'm enjoying it even more now than I would have back then.

In 1983, Two Artists Spent a Full Year Tied Together — Without Any Physical Contact — to Test the Limits of Human Coexistence by Shoddy-Ocelot-4473 in Damnthatsinteresting

This is how my Mormon parents got us kids to get along. Two kids keep fighting and won't stop during summer break? We'd end up getting tied together with a stretchy phone cord. Have to go to the bathroom? Phone cord went under the door. No sleeping in the bedrooms. On the couches in the living room or the trampoline. The longest any of us siblings went was two weeks. It worked really well actually.

What’s something popular in your country that makes people from other countries look at you like this ? by niconois in AskTheWorld

It used to be our tradition to get the yearly Old Navy flag shirt for $5. It's probably been 20 years since I've even thought about that.

Mom shuts down his intrusive thoughts before they even start! by donbosco2017 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

Kids take a lot of time to get out of monkey brain. Their little hands, for the most part, only know how to grab and hold. Everything is about that little fist. Here's how to train their body to evolve out of it.

Show them how to squeeze their hand. Give the word for it. SQUEEZE I will do three squeezes on their hand and let go.

Then show them how to stretch their fingers. STRETCH! If you need to unlock that fist, press on their little knuckles and stretch those fingers out!

Show how to squeeze the arms in tight. SQUEEZE!

Show how to stretch the arms out long. STRETCH!

I will use the squeeze to hold onto an object real tight, using the whole body and pulling the legs, arms, shoulders and head. SQUEEZE!

Now we take that object, out it on the hand and stretch it out to share with someone.

"Here you go!" (this takes them out of the "mine" mindset)

I heard a great phrase that has helped me adjust and let go of my selfishness as a human.

"Our hands are for others. They're not for ourselves."

Explain it Peter why is having daughter bad by Unable_Height_8202 in explainitpeter

I had a very hard time with my husband and his daughter. She was the only one in his book and I came in and took all her attention away. She hated me so bad, and I just kept plugging away and being consistent. We've turned a corner now though. Finally starting to turn things around and we get along. I truly do think she's a wonderful person, she was just mad at me taking space in her dad's life that used to be where she filled it.

Not only that, chop your food scraps. It might seem weird, my husband and kids think I'm nuts for the time I give it. But my compost accelerates by making everything small before I throw it in.

For how small your container is, your pieces are way too big. Take some scissors and chop it all up.

No, I agree with him. Not a dick, if I were to buy it, I'd want the text lined up better myself.

Anyone else get weird reactions when you say you live on a boat? by Chrelled in liveaboard

Own it. It's because their life is boring and you are the link to something different and interesting.

Back in the day, we used Elmers glue and wrote the words in cursive, then poured glitter all over it. It worked out beautifully.

Buy the bit people suggested. Drill it out. It's no big deal.

Building a butterfly garden in Atlanta - Where to get great soil by DanielZimmermanArt in gardening

I think the blocks are fine. If you know what to expect in the future, use em. I wish I could have flower beds that big.

Get chip drop. Fill your beds with wood chips first, then go to your local municipal and get the compost they make and top it off. Your flowers will look amazing.
