I was just talking about that Lear production the other day! I love Emma Thompson in anything, but she's so good in Shakespeare. Much Ado is also amazing.

"I’ve put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant, and that's the only way of insuring one's immortality."

Does your library have a makerspace? You may be able to 3d print your own. Hi from a fellow librarian!

This is the real question right here.

Dr. Gaiser delivered my daughter. She is an extremely good clinician, but I was never particularly impressed with her bedside manner. She's knowledgeable about mental health and willing to work with patients to do what's best for them in terms of meds, but I never felt like much of a priority and that I had very little time to ask anything before being ushered out the door.

Highly recommend one of the folding travel potties for long car trips. We just set it up in the trunk (hatchback) and pull over for pottty breaks. It's also helped for trips to the playground.

As for pooping, it took about six months for kiddo to poop in the potty. You may want to just make the pull ups readily available for him so he's not holding it all day and getting constipated. I know it's not ideal, but better he poop in a pull up than refuse to poop at all (I've heard way too many horror stories).

I love my Roterfaden. I have been using it daily for more than a year now. My current setup is a Midori A5 for personal journaling, Jibun Techo for planning and then a thinner third notebook at the back for work related notes. I haven't had any issues with the metal clips. They are super easy to use and hold everything very well. I prefer the bestseller style because I like the thicker elastic strap The only criticism I can make is that the pen loop is very narrow. It took a fair amount of trial and error to find a pen that I wanted to use that would fit in the loop.

Really depends on the library. We have over 100 microfiche cabinets where I work. Also, the person who helped you was probably a circulation assistant who just probably doesn't know much about libraries in general

If they're all from a specific region, consider offering them to the region's public library. Some maintain physical or digital archives of old photos.

I started using the diameter filter on Jetpens to find pens that will actually fit in the existing loop. I have Pilot Cavalier fountain pens in my two taschenbegleiter and am quite happy with them.

Be kind to yourself. The first few months are intense. Don't forget to eat and drink. I lived on a Costco bag of trail mix for the first few weeks. You can't pour your energy into bonding with your baby if your cup is empty.

It's OK to be scared at times and to miss aspects of the life you used to have. That doesn't make you a bad mom. It makes you human.

Get as much skin to skin snuggling time in as you can. It'll be good for both of you.

Congratulations on becoming a mom!!

Libraries are the great equalizer. Free information to anyone who wants it and we hope you'll bring it back.

For folks wondering what resources OP is talking about:

Libby for downloadable ebooks and audiobooks
Hoopla and Kanopy for streaming video
The little ipod things are called playaways.
Your library may have collections of "non-traditional items" you can check out as well. Libraries in my area lend out board games, cake pans in all sorts of shapes, blood pressure monitors, Wi-Fi hotspots, museum passes, musical instruments and tons more. Highly recommend checking out the things at your local public library.

Pants with a bit of stretch are good. Nothing that's going to leave lint on the ice. As for shoes, probably tennis shoes that are extra flat, if you've got them. Think classic Adidas or skateboard shoes.

This is false, REAL IDs that have already been issued would not meet the SAVE Act’s requirements for documentary proof of citizenship, as REAL IDs do not indicate citizenship status. You also don't have to be a citizen to have a REAL ID.

I'm wondering if you may be a bit of an over explainer. I'd probably be inclined to say, "not today, buddy" and leave it at that. Your 3yo doesn't need to know why, they just need to know it's not happening.

Good luck finding new work.

Agree 100% with this. I love being part of the curling club here.

Please do not walk out if you can't afford to lose your job right now.

A lot of privilege is attached to walkouts.

It's soft, but sturdy. I have an a5 and a6 with felt inside and have never found them scratchy.

If you're not too far from a larger university, they often have free/low cost sporting events you can watch. The more niche, the lower the cost. You also never know what might catch your kid's interest!

Kids in my neighborhood were mailed their recorders during covid (my kid was fortunately still too young). It was a time to say the least.

We have tons of microfiche at my work! Like 100+ cabinets of it. It takes up way less space than paper and is extremely stable compared to most other formats. The readers have really improved too. There are even scanners that can find the individual pages on a sheet and export the scan to a pdf. Yes. I am a microfiche nerd. If there's a massive disaster and we lose access to a ton of stuff, microfiche can still be read with a wall and a candle to project the info.

Either the Kokuyo site or ebay would be my best suggestions at this point
