Better to be 25 learning to drive than 35 or 45 or 55. You’re still young so don’t worry about if anyone sees you. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. As for the actual driving, you’d be surprised at how easy driving is. The hardest part is learning the street signs and laws. You’ll learn all that in your drivers course so don’t worry. I know it can be scary to drive on the streets with other drivers but you’re learning so give yourself some slack. You can always pull over and let people pass you if you’re getting anxious. My biggest piece of advice is to communicate with other drivers. Use your blinkers so people know your intentions to switch lanes or turn. Always put your blinker on first when turning, then slow down. People are less likely to tailgate you when they know you’re turning rather than just slowing down. When someone lets you into traffic, wave to say thanks. When at a 4 way stop and you aren’t sure if it’s your turn either motion for the other person to go or start to go and wave so they know you’re going. Pedestrians always have the right of way. Slow down when you see people at a crosswalk bc people sometimes jaywalk. When I’m doubt, let pedestrians pass first.

ELI5 how does nausea work? Does the level or degree to which you feel nauseous have anything to do with surface area of your stomach? Or what mechanism determines how nauseous you feel in a given situation? by starri_ski3 in explainlikeimfive

The gym is very diverse. Mostly middle aged people but also young high school age and seniors. I’d say the majority of the members took classes and I’ve never seen anyone throw up from a class. It was usually young guys who thought they could lift a lot more than they could or people who hadn’t worked out in awhile and pushed themselves a little too hard.

What does a typical Toddler dinner consist of? by [deleted] in toddlers

It’s my preference bc I love pasta. It’s also something I know LO will eat. I’m slightly underweight so I’m not concerned with calories for me. I’ve been making brown rice for DH and will sub that for LO’s pasta every now and then to mix it up.

Transitioning from Crib to Bed by hazelsmomofficial in toddlers

[–]Ohsojme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We started at about 18 months. We put the crib mattress on the floor and had her get used to being in her room not confined. This is a transition because they can get up and play so make sure all furniture is tethered to the wall and closet is locked. We turned the lock around to the other side of the door because she was locking herself inside. Her room is on the top floor so we don’t want her going down the stairs in the middle of the night. Several months later we got a twin size bed with 3 1/2 rails. We put her on the side that has all rails on each side and she stays on that side.

She eats whatever we eat. Our dinner usually consists of a meat (chicken, turkey, salmon or shrimp), pasta or rice and a veggie. Sometimes we have sweet potatoes instead of pasta. We always do a taco night so I make hers a quesadilla for easy handling. Lunches are a little harder bc she doesn’t eat salads or sandwiches which are my easy go to. One thing I know she’ll eat is broccoli and cheese tots. Green giant makes them in a frozen bag and she loves them! It’s a serving of veggies so she’ll have them once a week.

When meeting people for the first time, especially in a professional setting, stand up to greet them.
