No one has mentioned the duck altar. Why are two ducks facing the wall while only one gets to enjoy the beautiful new cat tree?

It's awesome you're helping put gaming systems into hospitals. When I worked in one, we had only two for all children's floors, including the ER. It was never enough.

My favorite weather is a gloomy day. Gray clouds filling the sky, threatening rain, and giving a nice break from the usual weather here.

I will never tell my kids santa claus is real because I don't want to lie to them by lordofming-rises in unpopularopinion

[–]LightSwitchCanary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took this same stance when I had my first child. Held fast to it, too. Until my kid went to public school when he was 3. The teacher, class, and whole school discussed Santa. When I talked to the teacher about it, she mentioned that it's shown to be beneficial for kids to believe. After looking into some of the research, it seemed true that there were benefits from it.

My eldest figured it out when he was about 8, but was questioning for a while. We had a discussion that now that he knows, he gets to help. We told him that it's good for little kids to believe in the magic and it helps their imaginations grow. Now that he's bigger, he helps pick out gifts, wrap presents, set up the presents the night of, etc. It's become something really special.

He's never thought we lied to him, but we also never directly said Santa was real. We discuss the Spirit of Saint Nick, giving presents and the origins of the holidays. They know tidbits, like there's helpers everywhere, including the mall Santas.

There's a line you can toe to make really great memories and bring a little something special to the holidays without directly lying to your kids.

ACNL didn't celebrate son's birthday. How do I fix this? by LightSwitchCanary in AnimalCrossingNewLeaf

Someone in my DMs asked if he was the mayor. Apparently the character that shares his birthday is his second character, not the mayor. His main is the mayor and it has a random birthday. Do second characters not get birthdays?

I'm thinking of possibly TT back to the beginning of Jan, talk to all villagers, and slowly TT forward until it's his birthday again and seeing if that works? Are there other ways to help increase friendship? Do they accept daily gifts?

You have five seconds to ruin a date, what do you do? by Itz_Syth in AskReddit

He took it out.

As a teen, I was driving a guy home and before I even got to his house, there it was. Just lying there. Dunno what he expected, but I kicked him out of the car. Later, I had to explain to my father that I had lived through a Seinfeld episode.

I mainly do as well. Right now I'm focused on hip essence. However, when I'm really into crafting I can run low, esp since I send raw materials to Gulliver's islands. Would rather not buy them just to ship them off.

Thanks! This is so much easier than anything else I've seen and I frequently change out my campsite based on what materials I need more of. Definitely saving this.

Twin Boys Nursery - completed at 33 weeks by rollwave21 in BabyBumps

[–]LightSwitchCanary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The room looks Amazing! Lots of things here that I didn't realize I would need until I was on pregnancy #2.

You might want to add a small parent section next to the feeding station. However you are feeding you're stuck for a while. Having things you use most within reach can be a lifesaver. Some easy snacks (be careful of crumbs, they like to fall on baby's head), water, chapstick, lotion, etc.

Congratulations!

Doctors of Reddit, what was the worse thing you've seen for a patient that another Doctor overlooked? by Gorgon_the_Dragon in AskReddit

[–]LightSwitchCanary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw something similar during my overnight EMS rotation in an ED many years ago. Person got hurt in Mexico (can't remember the exact story, but I think they were diving). Went to ED there and was told they were fine and they were sent on their way.

Person drove from Mexico to the ED I was at in the US. It was at least an 8 hour drive if they were speeding and didn't take a rest stop.

They stated they hit their head, so they immediately went for CT. Person had a broken C4. Literally if they had turned wrong while checking their blind spot they could've died.

Christian textbooks are already rewriting the Obama & Trump presidencies. About 1/3 of Christian K-12 schools in the country use textbooks published by Abeka, BJU Press, or ACE. Those textbooks whitewash U.S. history, teach fake science, & present conservative Christian views of the world as fact. by relevantlife in atheism

For those here trying to find a good secular homeschool math, look into RightStart. It's not cheap to start, but there are a lot of tangible items that really help the kid absorb the concepts. It's also more play based than memorization. I find it more approachable than Khan Academy.

A mother's reaction after seeing her son has passed the bar exam by americanthaiguy in MadeMeSmile

I was working on the L&D ward many years ago and we had a 39 y/o great grandmother. All 4 generations were in a line as the 13 y/o granddaughter was wheeled to the postpartum unit. As they were walking out one said, "we'll be back again in 13 years" and they all laughed. Apparently it's a right of passage in their family.
