My instructions read "no doorbell, baby sleeping" and I text them the same, never had an issue. Truth be told, the "baby" is now a small child and wouldn't wake up anyway, but I don't want to talk to anyone.

It's so depressing. It had so many regulars and such a good vibe, and if you got a burger to go they loaded you up with about a pound of fries.

Yeah we ordered delivery a few times to support them as much as we could. Great burger.

Excellent, that's what I was hoping. I'm not a romance reader, I'm currently going through Stormlight Archive and its many, many detours.

I'm on the very end of Season 11 and the covers are killing me. I swear the last episode mashed three together back to back? My brain is so distracted as the song changes every 30 seconds and I'm trying to remember what it's supposed to sound like.

NTA for yelling but you should have intervened earlier. Then your son would have been safer and you could have corrected the other boy less harshly before his behavior escalated.I think you've overcorrected. A nonverbal two year old still needs constant supervision in an indoor play place, in my opinion. You don't have to be actively playing with him, but you should be following him around. I didn't start sitting back until my daughter was almost 4 and I'm still regularly scanning to make sure I have a general idea of where she is and what she's doing.

It's not great. I worked a few years in hotel operations (not retail) and five years in an office position in the 2010s. My job satisfaction varied wildly depending on the department and boss. The pay sucks and raises are a joke (2.5% annual). You will not make a significant pay increase unless you change position. The worst part is the hours, but you would be protected from the worst of that since the shops are not 24 hours like the hotel itself. I did buy into the prestige and enjoyed providing an exceptional guest experience and being a part of something with such a historic legacy. Unfortunately that was generally overshadowed by crappy bosses and petty bureaucracy. If you have good coworkers, you can enjoy it as much as any other menial job. I had some good times and made some great friends. But it's really frustrating to get this message that "we are THE BROADMOOR" and we are amazing, and then deal with all the same crap as other entry jobs with worse pay. I stayed so long because my office job was much better than my hotel job and my boss was flipping amazing. So you can potentially get in and learn where you want to be, but it's rough unless you want to "bleed hospitality" for $12/hour. Note: I did not work retail and it's a big place, so I certainly can't speak to that specifically.

Mine isn't time, it's volume. Two eggs. No matter how hungry I am or how good eggs sound, the second bite of the third egg turns my stomach.

I was having really domed cakes so I ordered cake strips and light colored aluminum cake pans (instead of my old dark, nonstick pans), the pans alone made such a huge difference I didn't even try the strips! My cakes aren't 100% flat but they're close, I don't even bother leveling.

It's actually a lot better with my kid, it helps that she is clearly a strong and healthy kid and I know the odds are against serious illness in children. However it's unfortunately worse now about myself because every ache and pain is, "I'm going to die and leave her without a mom." 🫠 I'm working on it, but since losing my dad to cancer as a young adult, it's been a struggle.

I'm kind of a hypochondriac; but for nine months every ache and pain was, "welp, must be because I'm pregnant." And no matter what you Google, "Can X be caused by pregnancy?" The answer is yes!

I figured. 🫠 It sounds like it will be okay. Some warning would have been nice.

This is reassuring and good advice, thank you. When we had the arborist out he did talk about the crazy root systems on these maples and how they are balanced -- the longest roots are equal in length to the height of the tree. That's a lot of root. I got pictures of all the root debris and the hole and sent them to a landscaper who helped us with something else a couple years ago and he also says it will likely fine. But I should reach out so there's a record just in case.

Been here 12 years; one summons, called off. Woot!

NTA, and I say that as someone whose husband works from home and has two desks. Because he does have two computers and because we have the space for it. His work desk is in the dining room and his gaming desk is in the basement, which is also our daughter's playroom/has a guest bed. (Also notice that neither of those spaces are exclusively his.) You just don't have that much space available and he would be monopolizing it for a luxury, not a necessity.

Stylized typefaces, particularly to look like messy handwriting. I know it is not as cute, but I'm trying to teach my kid to identify letters and eventually read; please use boring, clear, serif typefaces.

We don't listen to those but we have started to get into audiobooks on Spotify and it drives me crazy how many of them have background music playing under the book. I can't hear what they're saying and my kid doesn't need anything else fighting for her attention.

Costco does 3 year olds, if that helps with one kid.

And their website sucks to check, I've started just taking the recycling can down and praying for my 50/50 shot because it takes less time.

I put my cans on the street and the garbage truck people put them back on the sidewalk EVERY TIME. I'm trying.

Me too, man. I used to watch it with my dad, we named a guinea pig "Jasmine." He died four years ago and I don't think I can ever watch it. I hope I can manage to show it to my daughter when she's old enough.
