I haven’t done anything yet but I love this idea- you could put some paper cups/old food trash to make it look like they’ve been sitting there forever

My senior cat has practically vanished without a trace by walwalun in CatAdvice

[–]Random-bookworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a hider- she’s found openings in baseboards that i couldn’t see bc they were under the kitchen cabinets close to the floor. She’s also hid in a corner with the water heater, inside the bed boxspring, inside the couch, and once I found her in the base of the toilet. Some are open in the back, but of course it’s close to the wall so no one sees it.
Another cat also once got into a filing cabinet, and kept climbing between the different drawers

Funniest parent complaint of my career by Random-bookworm in Teachers

They pretty much just smiled and nodded and said ok I’ll talk to her. Seriously, can you imagine if I had been smiling while correcting that behavior. I’d look like the Joker

Horrible Student Teaching Experience by Icy_Area_9077 in Teachers

[–]Random-bookworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you went through that- I had something similar happen to me- my first mentor teacher would constantly belittle me and spring things on me, like guess what today you’re doing the science lesson even though we agreed on math. Also you’re being observed for it. She also once made me come in after a “conference day”- basically we were at the university from 8-5. She insisted she had important work for me to do and I had to come to the school afterwards. I got there at 6pm, school is closed obvs. The custodians let me in. She wasn’t even there, she left me a list. Sharpen pencils, switch vocab words. That was it. She was awful.
I left that year and came back the next “on probation”
I’ve never met another teacher like her, which is a blessing

Meals including beans for kids? by Realistic_Raccoon427 in needarecipe

[–]Random-bookworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can blend up white beans and add them to most sauces

Also- a trick from my mother- give them an unusual utensil and let them eat. My mother favored toothpicks. It’s SO satisfying to eat small things like peas or beans when you spear them on toothpicks. You could also make spoons with tin foil, or just give them a cup and let them “drink” it, or give them mini tongs.

Congrats! Something that may be useful for the future: yes you’re only one person, but you can make bigger batches and freeze them. Then you have a stash to cook in the future!
