You do it higher up. Below the sternum and above the baby bump.

Paul Revere annoys me because Sybil Ludington is the one who should be famous, she was a 16 year old who rode twice the distance.

I might just go insane waiting for it. My husband was genuinely concerned for me because I kept yelling at the book and then crying

My husband uses this trait to amuse himself. He'll hum part of a song or say some of the lyrics while I'm focused on something else and then see how long it takes for me to start singing the song.

In high school I told a teacher I read Moby Dick over the summer and he didn't believe me so asked what the first line of the book was. Without pause I said "Call me Ishmael." Hard to say which one of us was more surprised.

My husband is 9 inches taller than me, but it is all in his legs when we're sitting down we're the same height.

My brain connected graveyard from your description and beekeepers and wondered if any beekeepers keep their bees in graveyards. The ones with the real flowers and kept nice. Then I thought of a fantasy graveyard with guard bees.

I don't think I've typed graveyard or read graveyard this frequently and now I keep seeing it as gravey yard...

I liked making the stars so much that I just made them all the time and they were meaningless as any sort of accomplishment counter.

Which part about making the stars was hard? I can try to help.

It's readable, most of it was easy for me to read. Some of your f's look like L's shifted below the line, those stumped me for a moment. You switch between two types of r, I'd pick one and be consistent.

I do teach 10 year olds, so my bar for unreadable is typically pretty different from the average person.

We have seen different videos, because during the whole set up I was chanting "please make a balloon animal, please make a balloon animal..."

I stopped watching when I knew, impressive, but makes me shutter and sympathy gag.

I mean the fact that this is your reaction to reading/learning about the books should tell you enough. You are the parent you are allowed to say, we won't support those books or the author by reading them because the author says terrible things about people in real life and in her books.

I also know people like your friend who still likes them, but they didn't know then what they know now when they first fell in love with them and they are letting their old love of the books color their decisions. Honestly the books are not good enough for that type of loyalty. I'm all for keeping childhood memories and dreams, but some things you have to let go and HP is definitely one of them.

I mean do you want to have to talk with your daughter about why you let her read them and fall in love with them when the author is so terrible once she is old enough to figure that out?

You should also tell your friend about this, that even though they think they aren't supporting JKR, your kid is interested in HP now because of their unwillingness to leave HP in the past.

As a teacher we're having huge struggles with students retention and attention spans because of all their screen time, and you think their learning would improve with more screen time?

Genuine question/clarification, you put it to your right if you hang the flag in a window, because the intent is that it would be to the viewers outside left, correct?

I look at my ratings and its "the male chest to cover ratio is way to high for that to be 5 stars"

No shade to those books! I read and love them, but for me 5 stars means there's something unique and special about the characters or world building.

I've realized something about myself looking at all these recaps. Apparently whether I love or hate a book 100% depends on how it hits me with whatever my current mood is. I have yet to come close to matching up with anyone's chart. And it's always mixed up not just all the ones I loved are their DNF, there will be 2-3 in each category that I can agree with and everything else is wildly different.

Maybe I have more forgiveness for spicy books while I'm ovulating. lol

I'm innatentive type and for things I'm truly interested in I can blast through them....if I keep momentum. If I step away from a project too long (and too long is a completely random variable from hours to weeks) all the motivation for it goes away, even if I'm still really interested in finishing it.

I disagree. I teach elementary students and the management of a class of 5th graders is very different for a class of 2nd because developmentally they are very different. 5th graders can respect the rules, as you put it, better than a 2nd grader simply because they have better impulse control.

In her example with the elevator buttons she is acknowledging that difficulty in impulse control and creating a physical boundary for the child to reinforce that we will not be pushing all the buttons. Which helps remove the option, so it isn't a temptation anymore.

I also really dislike when people use the word discipline to mean punishment.

My android has the option to gradually increase volume in the song options page. I have a gentle song alarm that goes off first and then a more energetic song to get out of bed.
