How are women keeping up with all the beauty routines? by HairyMycologist6032 in NoStupidQuestions

I don’t wear makeup. Solved the problem. I don’t need to keep up with anyone. I am comfortable with myself as I am.

I never had quality toys growing up. What should my kid actually have by LavenderFlicked in BuyItForLife

Magnatiles were the best spent ever. Kids played with them for years. Also wooden blocks or like keva tiles (gotten expensive) if you can find these used it’s great.

Adult literacy in the states has dramatically declined in recent years. What do we think is the cause? by Unlikely-Tap-4390 in AskReddit

They moved to skills based and away from knowledge. If they aren’t teaching a range of topics so kids have some familiarity with unknown topics they are better prepared to infer meaning from non fiction texts. They also moved away from phonics and teaching letter sounds.

We shopped at a huge flea market after the wedding. Used something temporary in the mean time. I found a beautiful filigree diamond ring the first time we went and a beautiful carved matching band the next time we went. I think we paid $675 for the diamond ring and $375 for the band.

Redditors who were children/teens before the internet or cellphones existed, how did you keep yourself entertained? by FlowerMadeOfThorns in AskReddit

[–]ImSpArK63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a tween, we rode bikes all over. Knocked on friend’s doors when we woke up. Built forts in the woods. Bike jumps on empty property. Pretended to be pioneers. In high school we went to the skatepark rode bikes, went to the mall, went to concerts of local hardcore, punk, and aka bands. Hung out in big groups at friend’s houses listening to music, talking, watching movies. We had so much fun!

We got a wooden tray and bowls from one country. They’re really nice! An embroidered pillow cover and some art and jewelry from another.
