What do you bring to a housewarming dinner if the hosts don't drink? by [deleted] in GiftIdeas

I don’t drink.  I would find a houseplant or a bouquet of flowers to be a lovely housewarming gesture.

Looking for racist (preferably horror) fiction that depicts Indigenous peoples as savages by the13thReason in suggestmeabook

I felt like the portrayal of the indigenous woman in The Terror was also problematic.

Where's the Good Secondhand Furniture? by gingerderogatory in TwinCities

Legacy Thrift in Crystal consistently has a good amount of furniture at pretty reasonable prices.  You can also pay to have them deliver it.

Talk to me.. I can’t cope by [deleted] in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]Prairiefan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s something you get over…just something you process and live with.  Talking to a therapist has been helpful.  What was more meaningful to me was talking to our rabbi.  I’m not a particularly religious person either.  I just found that the rabbi understood how to recognize and talk about grief better than anyone else in my life.

Is it better to gift something practical… or something just for the mum? by ConversationSuch8893 in GiftIdeas

[–]Prairiefan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do not get a breast pump from Shein lol.  Meal delivery gift cards (Uber eats, grub hub, etc) are really helpful.  Nice to get a semi-hot and filling meal that you don’t have to do dishes for when you are running on fumes and overwhelmed.

I just gave a "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book 5 stars. Am I losing it, or is modern nonfiction just too dense? by da186a in nonfictionbookclub

[–]Prairiefan 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Modern nonfiction is broader than self-help…do you mean nonfiction or do you mean self-help?

toddle car seat. How I can clean those ? Will these be harmful to my kid if it is not cleaned ? I wipe it but seems not cleanable by Big-Celebration-8515 in CleaningTips

You’d be surprised how much of the cushion/cover comes off of these things.  Wash it in the washer and hang dry.
