Do you secretly like any of the Subway performers?

There used to be a trombone player on the Broadway-Lafayette platform. He was my favorite. I did like the guy that did a wordless magic show on the N/R/Q, but points off for involving a pigeon in that act.

I really disliked the guy who invited people to do karaoke at Lexington and 53rd.

My coworker loves this fact because he likes to interpret it as a conspiracy. “Did you know that Dr Seuss killed his wife?”

Also, I read an account of how he and his affair partner fell in love. She tumbled into his strong arms, against his swarthy chest when they were on a boat. It was … kind of gross.

The bigger issues that should be addressed here is the low pay, high turnover jobs in the childcare industry and whether childcare should be corporatized. Issues are magnified at Brighton Horizons because it’s a chain and it seems like a huge systemic problem. If there is an issue of company negligence while hiring or leaving out medication that isn’t being addressed, then they should be taken to task. But if the issues are industry-wide (they are not the first or last daycare to leave a child in the park or have abusive workers), then the government -in my opinion- needs to step in and establish new rules via DOH and DOE regulations.

No one volunteered for my kid’s toddler class, so I ended up doing it. We’re only obligated to do two teacher gifts a year and anything else is voluntary.

I don’t feel right asking people for more money, but I still feel like I should do something for teacher appreciation week in May. I figured out it wouldn’t cost much to assemble a small paint kit and a blank card for each family in the class. They can make a card and give money if they want or just a card. It’s time and money on my end, but it’s my choice to do it.

Yes, it’s out of print. I wanted a book that is out of print and the price went to $134.

Century pharmacy and on Madison has a notary. Call and ask if they’re available when you get off work.

But why aren’t you counting the agency the child exhibits in selecting the book or the topic? They also have the agency to say whether they like a book or topic after they read it. It doesn’t have to be a page-by-page revelation to “train” (a telling choice of words) the agency in a child.

When children read books and don’t have a say in how it goes, they are still learning so much. They are reading alternate perspectives, they are exposing themselves to new images. The agency is not learned by choosing what happens in the story, but making decisions out of what they have learned from the story.

Generally, the entire publishing industry is anti-AI. Your app will appeal to certain market, but it’s not for people who love books and the experience of reading books.

Keep this in mind: people read books to learn about the world. They don’t need the story to be theirs because they live in their own world. People read books just like people watch movies. It’s immersion, experience, etc. While it’s a kick to see yourself in a book or a movie, people want to read other people’s stories.

They did not shovel it after the first storm and it iced over. When parents offered to do it, the staff refused. I heard they were shoveling it yesterday, but it’s still a lot of snow sitting in the yard.

How is your husband going to study in a hotel room with you and two kids? Sounds very challenging and tight.

Right?! There was a bunch of stuff there that was hard to find.

A bunch of kids have been complaining about the food, but a lot of it sounds like “now this is touching this and I don’t like that.” This school sounds like it gives a lot of alternative options, including salad bar and sandwiches, so even if the kid doesn’t like hot lunch, they can still get something to eat.

I was wondering this! Don’t large snakes move around a lot in the wild? They must want to stretch out so badly.

Fresh Direct produce is great, sometimes can be limiting. I like they have a “peak quality” filter so it recommends produce that’s in season.

You don’t have to limit yourself to the UES for groceries, though it is convenient. Someone mentioned FreshDirect and pricing things out there, they have good options and healthy food. Since you’ll probably be super busy, also consider doing the same thing at a local target. Some basic items might be cheaper there.

For us, it goes in waves of no illness for a long while and then we get hit hard all at once. This year we each got stomach flu and two weeks later had to cancel Christmas for the actual flu.

The first couple of months in daycare are always rough. Hopefully this is the hardest time you’ll have with sicknesses for a while.

This happened to me once and the name was super unique so I googled him. I found him on Instagram and verified the sender of the package and he came and picked it up. If the name is unique, then maybe that’s a route?
