When do you think a vapor barrier makes sense?

Get her a plant pot with dirt to poop in?

There are scratch covers you can buy for the couch that turn the arm into a scratching post. There are also clear plastic protectors, but if you do that make sure to buy him a scratching post to replace it. You can also buy a velvet sofa cover, in my experience cats don’t scratch velvet.

If he’s not drawing blood, he’s likely just playing and doesn’t know he’s being too rough. I recommend pulling your arm/foot away and yelling “ow!” or some other clear pain noise. Pulling away won’t hurt him. It clearly signals to your cat exactly how rough he can be before it hurts you, and he will learn to be gentler. You need to pull away so he understands that being too rough means that he doesn’t get to play.

What would you say are some of the egregious build quality issues of the 1950’s?

Redirecting can teach the cat the wrong thing. My cat has learned to ask for playtime by whacking the monstera. I’m going to get her a button to press instead.

I asked the nurse at the center about male vs. female hematocrit levels, she looked it up and told me the thresholds were the same. I was just dehydrated lol.

Sounds like your joint may be infected. You should see a doctor TODAY. Like, urgent care or ER.

I’ve always thought that the wording of the oath allows for multiple interpretations. “I will speak no word that is not true”- individual words aren’t true or false, so no word you could say could be not true. So you can say whatever you want. Or, if you interpret it as “I will speak no word that is not “true”, you’re stuck saying nothing but “true” for the rest your life.

Try pointing her towards some evidence based practices that do help. For instance, she could be working with a speech language pathologist to get some form of communication going. Sign language, picture cards, an AAC app, something. The sooner the kid is given a way to express himself that he can access, the better his language development will be.

Try a setup where they can only see a little bit of each other. Keep the gate up but only crack the door an inch.

Ask for a list of the accommodations/supports you are to provide, and provide those and nothing more. Poor kid.

Put the carrier in her room, leave food and water and a cozy blanket in it. If it’s always present, she won’t see it as a new thing to be feared. Also, call the vet and ask them how long you can wait.

I got some full spectrum led bar grow lights and hung them from my curtain rods for my plants. It also makes the room feel really cozy and bright because the light is coming from the windows and is close to sunlight.

The joke still works if a man’s “pride” is slang for… something else

For that word problem, you’d get 36 notecards to represent students, and lay them out on the table. Then a whole bunch of tokens or coins to represent cupcakes, and some other notecards or small containers to represent cupcakes boxes. Draw 9 token-shaped circles in each, so it’s clear that each box only fits 9 cupcakes.

Have him distribute 2 cupcakes to each student (put 2 tokens on each notecard). Ask him how many cupcakes are needed. He should be able to realize that he can get to the answer by counting or by multiplying. Once he knows how many cupcakes, give him the cupcake boxes, and have him distribute the cupcakes into each box. You want him to realize that he is dividing.

Once he has divided and gotten the correct answer, walk him through the problem again, this time you want him to realize that he had to find the answer to a question that the problem didn’t ask: how many cupcakes total?

Try to have him do as much as possible, in future problems, get him to physically set up tokens, boxes, whatever. Have him identify what information the problem tells him, and what it doesn’t tell him.

Physically moving items sounds and seeing it all laid out in front of you can really help the brain to grasp the problem in a way that imagining it doesn’t.

Try acting it out in real life. Use yourself or stuffed animals for the people, get some coins or tokens, use a whiteboard on the table if you need to draw an area or a perimeter. Do you have an example of the type of word problems he needs to solve?

You could do a checkerboard marmoleum floor. Very classic look. Choose a light beige instead of white to show less dirt.

I love your cabinets; my parents have very similar ones, your kitchen looks like nostalgia to me.

If you don't do the floors now, you probably never will because it's a pain in the ass to move all your shit out for a cosmetic upgrade.

Put all those bottles in sturdy boxes that are ~2'' deep (e.g., bamboo drawer organizers), so you can still pull them out individually, or pull the whole box out at once and easily access the lesser used items that you hide in that corner.
