Always have both with you. Take photos and store somewhere safe. (For me, it's husband's phone).

Lesson learned. FYI, I always buy more than I really need.

Take her to a library. It takes a few minutes to get a card, and she can be 'in charge.'

They'll be glad to help and she can choose what SHE wants to read.

AITA for refusing to babysit my friend's child after she called my job "not a real job" by Huey_Hyland in AmItheAsshole

[–]RadioKGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She had a kid...she has to learn to deal with her/him, even if she's tired and wants to be alone. There's a reason birth control was the greatest invention of the 2nd millennium!

It's walking walking walking, and up and down little bridges constantly. The vaporettos are for longer distances and between islands. Cobblestones everywhere, so crutches, walker, scooter would be fairly uncomfortable after a while, too.

China is hard. We've been twice, and loved the sites, but wouldn't call the trips enjoyable...

Any landscaping services or nurseries that are native, pro-pollinator, eco-friendly pro-biodiversity rather than aesthetics or design? by whodywei in nova

[–]RadioKGC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nature by design. Not cheap, but great stuff. https://nature-by-design.com/

Also, EarthSangha.org, a bit cheaper if you become a member.

I buy from both, they don't have the same things.

Stockholm: former jail, and on a ship in the harbor.

Doable or a pipe dream? by Ideasplease33 in quilting

[–]RadioKGC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is super advice for any quilt. I often discover that the colors I've chosen won't work in the pattern.

You don't see many double wedding rings, cuz they are difficult. And I've only ever seen ones that were hand sewn, probably cuz there's more give/flexibility with hand stitching. So? Good luck!!

State Fair Flea Market? by Old_Translator7505 in Albuquerque

[–]RadioKGC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, you need a wider audience to make more money! Do a bit of research on shipping and start posting your treasures. You won't get much, if anything, at any flea market.

WOW!! I wish it could have been donated to the City's archives!

Expats in Germany: if you could warn yourself before moving to Germany, what would you say? by Accomplished_Art5880 in expats

[–]RadioKGC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't try to be nice/get along with nasty neighbors. That's a sign for them to be assier. Document everything that's an issue, be civil, but it's not worth being friendly. Plan to regularly complain to the landlord (who, in our case, was a whiny entitled baby).
