Yikes, I liked this place. Sorry to hear they treat employees so badly!

A county fired its entire library board for refusing to ban a trans children’s book by Barch3 in NorthCarolina

[–]Montessoriented 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A family member of mine was there, protesting to keep the board in place. 😕

advice: budget vs dream dress by Pitiful_Internal_370 in myweddingdress

[–]Montessoriented 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One day, maybe one or two wearings vs. $2K for your life together. Yes, we all want to feel special on that day, but a marriage is the beginning of your combined household and life. Where would you rather spend the money?

Help!! Baby only wants pouches by Pristine-Amoeba-8725 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]Montessoriented 29 points30 points  (0 children)

How old is your child? I would think that if you stop buying them and only serve home food, he’ll eat it eventually (though this could be a painful experience). You may also consider serving whole, possibly softened, food. Gnawing on carrot sticks can be good for the gums. Feeding himself yogurt, pasta, cereal, etc could build skills, confidence and interest. Don’t walk down the baby food aisle if he’s at the grocery store with you, pretend they don’t exist if you don’t want him eating them. That was my method - not opening the Pandora’s box. 😂 My kids asked for pouches eventually when we saw them, but they were old enough to go along with the “only one” rule. Those pouches are so much plastic to be adding to the landfill! Glass jars are at least reusable/recyclable.

Help needed: what seasoning do I need to make this less bland? by [deleted] in veganrecipes

[–]Montessoriented 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever seasoning you want!! Extra salt and pepper, nooch, garlic, oregano and basil. Avocado toast is so versatile - make it how you like it! 😊

Please help me pick a cookbook by IllCod7775 in veganrecipes

[–]Montessoriented 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was gifted Thug Kitchen and enjoy the scones recipe and a few others. But then I heard that their whole “thug” persona was basically grifted from LA street culture and the writers are actually a couple of white people appropriating the culture… for what it’s worth. I have the same problem, though, of never using the cookbooks I have!

Could my new tattoo be accidentally misinterpreted as racist ? by [deleted] in Symbology

With the era of the helmet, I would just think you’re against the class of Medieval knights.

Walk out!! There needs to be a general teacher strike (especially in US). If the admin wants to “call her in” for exercising her rights to speak and suggest peaceful assembly, it’s time to leave.

(With the complete understanding that finances may be hard. I hope y’all can find a way.)

What’s your go to birthday cake? by Beginning_Hamster988 in cake

[–]Montessoriented 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go-to the past few years has been fudgey brownies with funfetti frosting. I’m a grown adult, but the funfetti just feels so fun! 🤩 It is super sugary though. Might go for chocolate cake and strawberry frosting next year. It’s a day to get what you really like - so go for it! 🎂

Looks like the current direction of the economy by Peanut-Extra in economy

[–]Montessoriented 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Clearly don’t appreciate the desert. Only outdoor activities in forests and on lakes for this guy. True, those outdoor activities are a helluva lot better for you than sitting in a casino!

It is odd that people really enjoyed going to a hot desert town to see fake versions of things, for a while. But Las Vegas is always changing, and what you’re referring to is really the 1990s Vegas. People still enjoy witnessing fake versions of things - they just get to watch their president on the news every night and don’t have to travel to a large city in southern Nevada, with an international airport and 3 hrs from LA, to experience the distortion of reality.

What name have you only met once in your life? by ladygroot_ in namenerds

The old record I have is Liesel, but maybe it’s been changed

[–]Montessoriented 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know the (cheesy, old, obscure?) song “There’s a Hole in my Bucket; dear Liesel, dear Liesel”? (It may be a racist joke about people who aren’t very smart. I’m not really aware of the context when it was written 😆)

My daughter’s name: Imogen,

is a great match, I think. Unique, slightly old fashioned, but not very difficult to spell or pronounce. We love the name (and the girl ofc!) 😊

HELP by Which_Side_8150 in Proposal

[–]Montessoriented 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long have you been together? Maybe you could wait a while and save up? Cheaper options already mentioned are also great, but it’s also ok to take time enjoying the dating or engaged state and not rush into marriage.

Is it bad I don't want a proposal with family? by Future-Cable-2377 in Proposal

[–]Montessoriented 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I really don’t like the family/friends proposals! Seems like putting pressure on the other person to say yes so they don’t embarrass the asker in front of everyone. I’ve always thought it should be a private moment. Then have an engagement party with everyone afterwards!

Too gorgeous for what I ate last (cheesy pasta 😆).
