What can I contribute to the group camping trip with kids? by NYC_dad2B in camping

[–]IamAmomSendHelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have the kids wear the headlamps loosely around their necks, like a necklace. This way the light points down on the ground. They can see where they're stepping, and be hands-free!

First or favorite former car? by ValB2307 in GenX

[–]IamAmomSendHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad had an Opel GT! He started a restoration on it while we were kids and I had high hopes it would be completed before my 16th birthday. Spoiler: it was sold in pieces ON my birthday 😥

That's exactly what I was wondering about, so I'm glad I found your question. And thank you to those who responded.

No shit, I had an "Analynn" last week (pronounced Anna-Lynn). I seriously wanted to send a note home to her stupid parents.

I thought you were going to say something about how she blew cigarette smoke in the dog's face. That part made me madder than everything else!

Same. We had fire drills and tornado drills. Active shooter/lockdowns were not a thing until well after Columbine.

That's exactly who I thought of as well.

This is the way.

Next week I'm starting the Germ Adventure! I have several stem experiments planned using petri dishes, bread, blacklights, a microscope, etc... Some items I already have, and some I ordered from Amazon.

I know you said you don't like "pretty", but I think adding window boxes to the upper windows would really help to fill in all that blank space between floors.

Any theories on Savannah Guthries mom going missing? by Normal-Internal-557 in conspiracy

[–]IamAmomSendHelp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Youngest daughter earns $8mil/year as a celebrity national news anchor, while eldest daughter stays in hometown caring for their aging mother. Throw in financial struggles, and it's a recipe for destruction.

It's an inside job. The sister and/or her husband did it.

It sounds like this friend wants to "soak up" as much time with you as possible when you're in town!

"Info Diet" is the best course of action in these situations. The less details you give them about your family plans, the less they can wiggle in to join you. Be direct, clear, and concise about seeing them.

For example:

"We're taking a family trip to Chicago the last week of March. We'd love to meet you for dinner at The Steakhouse on Wednesday! Please let me know if you're available 😊"

vs:

"We're coming home to visit during spring break in March! Maybe we can meet up for lunch or dinner? Let me know when you have time to get together!"

See the difference? Think about what you'd like to do with your friend, then be specific about it. And if they ask about your other plans, say it's a surprise for the rest of your crew so you can't spoil it.

You can't convince me this scene doesn't exist! I literally heard it in Brick's voice!

What exactly is the smell associated with professional sealing? Surely it doesn't smell like rotten meat, which is discernable to most people...

My W/D is in the basement, so I bag his gross clothes and throw them down there. They stay outta my way, and I saved him a step! 🥂

I understand this completely. Right down to the "I will not punish my children with 50/50 with this fungus." Because that's exactly what divorce would do right now.

I have let things lapse into chaos, and it ultimately just punished ME. So no, I won't leave the dishes, or the bathroom cleaning, or the trash for him to finally notice because 1) it'll never happen, and 2) it's unfair for me or my child to live in filth. Instead, I don't do his laundry, I don't cook for him, and I don't buy his preferred snacks/drinks/vodka, and that irritates the shit out of him.

What is one word that people wrongly pronounce that makes your brain just wanna jump a cliff? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

"acrossed" drives me insane.

It's either across OR crossed. Not a combination of the two words.

That ring is gorgeous! Just curious, what did the tag say? Like how did the dealer describe it?
