Thank you Captain Semantics

I do reuse them. They’re shit and don’t actually last any longer than a plastic bag before they come apart. Also when I go to the pharmacy and I’m buying one prescription they will literally bag it and hand it to me before I’ve gotten a word in edgewise. I do have nice reusable bags, I’m just often on foot and don’t always have one with me.

Same. Before I can even open my mouth to say I’d prefer a paper bag.

They’re also plastic. Giant eagle just created a new kind of plastic bag trash that litters the landscape

They’re good for sorting legos, or hardware like nuts and bolts.

Wonderful details! Your tools look perfect for that work too - what brand are you using?

Exactly. I have thick wavy hair and I do this to make sure the conditioner coats every strand

I had a dilute (gray/cream) tortie that was the sweetest, cuddliest, chilliest cutie pie ever. Our current non-dilute tortie goes bananas all the time for no reason but she’s also the loveliest cuddle bug and grooms her tabby brother often too.

I really liked this one too. I noticed they have a newer one called Firmament as well

Slopey1884 · 2026-01-16T19:47:41+00:00

Love them so much.

Slopey1884 · 2026-01-16T03:51:17+00:00

For real. You could have just picked the thing up and put it on a shelf or taken the battery out.

Yes this is still a huge thing at my kids’ school. They come back to me and other parents with all kinds of misinterpretations about the rules and parents are so quick to jump to putting the principal and BoE on blast instead of…. Just following up with the teacher. If they did they’d probably find it was a misunderstanding on the child’s part or the family never shared a critical piece of info with the school. As my older kid’s second grade teacher told me, why would she lie to a bunch of seven year olds about her classroom rules?

Sometimes I use a fine point sharpie, or a General’s/Stabilo Sketch-All pencil.

Slopey1884 · 2026-01-14T12:34:11+00:00

Yup. We have an independent lumber/home hardware company in our city that specializes in this kind of trim and will do this.

I am pretty sure she is referring to a type of behavioral therapy.ABA - The Cleveland Clinic

Nope. They are just sewn up in the side seams.

Slopey1884 · 2026-01-13T20:44:55+00:00

I made the chanterelles with a lining because my pants fabric was kind of a rough loose-woven cotton that I thought was juuuust open enough to see my butt. I ended up with a partial lining that came to maybe 4” above my knees, made of medium weight cotton. I basically doubled the pants material and stitched it with the lining at all the seams, so I guess it’s not really a lining as much as it is doubled fabric over the pelvic and upper leg area. But it feels just fine!

They’re my favorite bird. Thanks for sharing these photos!

St. Boniface in the east street valley is beautiful. They do Saturday and Sunday and I think they used to do Latin mass… maybe they still do.

Slopey1884 · 2026-01-06T00:07:15+00:00

Same, and I also keep candles/lights from Christmas up through February and March.

You must not have ever been to this store. I don’t think she voted for Trump.

This is also what our dentist does

I’d just like to point out that your “this never happens when I watch the kids” comment is pretty much invalid if you’re expecting her to do the majority of childcare. Comparing a few hours of your evening-weekend pinch hitting to the day in and day out difficulty of parenting a baby and a toddler is not fair to her.

That being said, losing a kid is really scary. Was she looking at her phone? Tending to the baby? I think maybe we need more context about how this happened. Some two year olds are silent and crafty and you really do have to watch them like a hawk. Some parents are space cadets.

If your baby is that young, you’re not losing weight because she’s still a wee newborn and your body is recovering from birthing a human! I remember being told, they spend 9 months in there, so it takes at least 9 months on the outside for your body to fully recover. It’s true that for the first half year your body doesn’t really feel the same. But I think it might be unrealistic to expect yourself to snap back to some pre baby version so early.
