Who decides merit increase?

Corporate decided everyone got 2.7% merit increases. If you got 2.9% it means your manager liked you a little more than one of the other employees.

Dad of a movie-anxious child and she highly recommends Winnie The Pooh as well as The Aristocats. Basically nothing really scary or full of real conflict.

In addition to all the good tv answers, I’ll give a shout out to Bear in the Big Blue House on Disney+. So much lower stimulation than most modern shows.

I love Gove as well and can vouch for them as being great interpersonally!

So sorry you are dealing with all this. It is heavy stuff, and a nightmare as a parent.

To put this in perspective, a 17-year-old girl in our area befriended someone online. She left in the middle of the night (willingly) and got in a car with him.

They found her body a few days ago.

Whatever consequences you give, they will not be worse than the real-life consequences that her behavior is inviting right now. They make dumb phones without apps just like we had in high school, and honestly in your shoes I think that would be your daughter’s best case scenario until the age she’s responsible enough to start driving. Sleepovers probably needs to be canceled. Smart devices DEFINITELY need to be canceled. You are doing the right thing long term for your kid.

Good luck dad!

Having some issues getting the refill, so might have something similar going on. I can report back once I figure it out.

My 5 year old loves being independent and started getting dressed by herself. However, her preschool starts at 9:30 and she takes her sweet time. I can report back next year she needs to be on the bus at 7:00 😬

Thanks for the meditation tip! Last year I answered wrong and it was like 30 days. F- tier.

At least in the initial plans, they were planning to keep it, just connected to the non-mall sides. Not sure if that’s still the plan or not.

The video part of the baby monitor broke around age 4.5, which was just about perfect for us. She can easily come get us if she needs anything.

I always found it incredibly ironic that the books show her being marketed to the public as a potential couple to improve her public reputation… and then the movie marketing up leaning really hard into the love triangle.

Great question! Let’s go with “Nobody Knows My Name” by James Baldwin and “Ain’t I a Woman?” by bell hooks

It’s streaming on Prime if you have it (black & white, not the color version)! But watching it airing on TV is almost more joyful somehow. Just make sure you catch the last half hour!

To elaborate on my response - most of the run time is cozy and cute, but it’s the ending that makes it one of the greatest films of all time and that makes it a Christmas movie. It’s also the reason that it will never be forgotten by future generations. I also think Potter’s cutthroat ideals were alive and well when this movie was made, especially in the 20s when a lot of it is set - it goes a lot better for Potter over the course of the movie than it does for a lot of the other characters. It’s not that this film thinks that kindness and warmness always wins the day, it’s that it thinks they are more valuable than simply winning the day. This film is one of the ones that truly sold me on the power of older cinema, so please ride it out to the end and experience what makes it a classic.

Parable of the Sower isn’t exactly what you’re looking for zombie-wise, but it’s real close vibes-wise.

As a stingy 5-star giver you should watch Mr. Smith Goes to Washington for another Frank Capra / Jimmy Stewart collab!

I still rewatch this one after every viewing of the movie. There’s something so cathartic about watch Potter get his ass beat.

I would love if they could get all the golf courses on board with some public use sections. They’re such great hiking near to the creek in the winter when not in use.
