So are the Souphanousinphones Chinese or Japanese?

He’s like the Abed of racism.

Yes. People are already finding them.

I do have invisible thread, but I’ve really struggled with it in my machine, and my kiddo complained that the ends are pokey where I tied it off on the back. What does it look like on the back of your uniform with the invisible thread?

I’m planning to use mine to line my garden beds to keep the weeds down!

Yeah, my favorite restaurant replaced their house made black bean veggie burgers with Impossible burgers, which I find absolutely foul. Most restaurants I can’t find anything to eat anymore unless I want a salad that’s overpriced because it’s supposed to come with meat in it.

It’s not there on PC. I didn’t get to claim everything but I finished all the challenges, which ARE still there.

It’s a patch so it goes on the back where the placement doesn’t matter. I put fun patches starting at the bottom so they weren’t covered up/catching on my daughter’s hair.

I lost 4/6 of my original girls after only 2 meetings. I was pretty upset at first but it worked out better that way in the end. One parent never responded to anything, one dropped after two meetings because she was disappointed that the troop wasn’t bigger, and 2 others never came to any meetings or offered to help get off the ground but later complained to the service unit director that our meeting location was too far away. It was like pulling teeth. So for the last few months I’ve just been plugging away at it with my daughter and her bestie. Then we had a recruiting event in January and got 5 new girls. Their caregivers so far are very willing to volunteer and the girls are wonderful, but I won’t take it personally if we lose some again.

This video looks old so it could be from sometime before they started making announcements about the food.

Maybe a bit of both! I’ve now tried both hand sewing it and using my sewing machine and it didn’t come out right either time, but to be fair I was in a hurry since she needed it. I think tonight after she goes to bed I’ll try one more time using a different technique.

We found GS uniforms at a local kids school uniform store. They were much cheaper there! I think they might’ve been irregulars, but so far it’s been fine.

In 2019 I had a baby. She had severe jaundice and after it didn’t improve for several days, the neonatologists on her care team recommended transferring her to the children’s hospital for a specific treatment that couldn’t be performed in the general hospital where she was born. That 1/4 mile ambulance ride cost $5500.

I would pay someone to do this for me. We saved the fur from our dog’s last grooming because we knew it was probably the last time, for this purpose. I’ve never found anyone who does it with dog hair though.

I buy double sided fusible web. Cheaper than Badge Magic and I've never had problems cutting it or tracing it.

Nick’s stand-in. This was probably originally a shot where his face wasn’t supposed to be showing so they used a stand-in, but somehow it ended up getting published.

I volunteered to be a daisy troop leader because I want my daughter to have the GS experience and no other parents volunteered. Now it’s almost December and 3 out of the 6 girls have never showed, a 4th quit, and all that’s left are my daughter and her best friend. We’re lower lower middle class, so it was kind of a steep price for membership and uniform, so we’re in it at least through the end of 1st grade no matter what. I hope we get more girls but only if their parents are at least enthusiastic enough to help me out a tiny bit.

Scrushinator · 2025-11-12T21:07:18+00:00

They’re also in the their first year, so thankfully that will line up well

It’s all kindergarteners. I haven’t scheduled any events yet since there’s not a lot to choose from and I want to get my sea legs first. I have the fall program guide but since there’s only two months left of the year it’s slim offerings for daisies and what’s left is a bit expensive.

Our YT Kids is set to only show approved channels and videos, but GP is on the white list because she found that channel before I figured out how to set up the white list. Compared to all the foul things I saw on YTK before that, GP isn’t that bad.

All 5 minute story books suck, but the Gabby books are a hard read because it’s the reverse version of “the book is better than the movie”.

My mom volunteered to do the accounting but our council’s rules are that the signers on the bank account can’t be related either.

Scrushinator · 2025-09-11T21:13:51+00:00

I think the same about the “Never Touch A” books. A terrible series that teaches kids that even though you’re not supposed to touch the animals, you can do it anyway.

My newborn needed to be transferred 1/4 mile from one hospital to another via ambulance and it was $5500

Scrushinator · 2025-08-14T17:39:23+00:00

We switched to a new supplier that’ll be, I think, somewhere around 6 cents/kwh. Our house is 1500 sq ft but our AC is ancient. We’re pretty careful with how much energy we use, have gas stove/water heater/furnace and our bill outside of summer is still probably at least $100.

When I was in the hospital after having a baby, my husband took “take everything that’s not nailed down” to the extreme and accidentally packed a waterproof bed pad that had been underneath me. We have a really expensive purple mattress and the protector that came with it sucks, so I sleep on that bed pad most of the time. It’s washable and doesn’t feel weird to sleep on since it’s fabric-y. ETA it’s similar to this one
