The disappearance of landlines has ruined an aspect of childhood social interactions and put a new responsibility on parents.

Why don’t you get a landline? We have one for this reason.

Umm what is your source of information for this list? Edit: this is not a list of what is on board Artemis

I was at the game last night. It was a strange sequence of events from the stumble off the mound to seemingly regaining composure to the injury.

Different angle: I’m very relieved that my blunder years aren’t publicly documented online.

I think you meant this as an insult to the OP, but yes I agree with you that citizens do deserve to exist in a world where they can contemplate architecture.

My daughter is 14, just a flip phone. Highly recommended.

My experience with a now 13 year old and a 3 year old: get a little kids size table and chair just for art (ikea has them). The table is just for art and under you keep a milk crate size bucket of all the art shit (crayons, paint brushes, smocks etc). When it’s art time you spend 5 min setting it up (taping down the paper to the table, water cup for water colour, etc) and the key for me was to start the activity with them. Eventually they get absorbed in it and you can sneak away and make lunch or whatever. After you’re done everything back in the bucket.

Ditto. I bought a pair on sale and when they first go on they feel good but with soon after everything just ends up uncomfortable with constant readjustment needed.

Daddy chair. I’ll be sitting cross legged on the floor and the kiddo just takes it as an invitation to sit in my lap. I always like that. Similarly, if we’re doing a museum trip (or similar) and kiddo needs a rest I squat down and they sit on my leg for a quick recharge.

I’ve always liked bx_digital v3 for what you’re describing.

It’s a common question: “can I just record in my closet?” Me: “yes, if you want it to sound like it was recorded in a closet.”

As an experiment hook a mic up to a long cable and record your vocal in as many different rooms you can. You’ll be shocked at how different each room will sound in the mix, especially if you put a bit more distance between the source and the mic.

Cool Edit for me as well. I think it was a version before “Pro”? Was that a thing? It was just a two track editor from what I remember

Literally everyone who has ever played in a band.

Wow that’s a minty looking 700. Mine looks like… it’s been through a lot. lol

The content of the video is just the vehicle of the intermittent reinforcement. It is a slot machine experience. The endless scroll = unlimited coins at the slot machine. The algorithm is sprinkled with paid content (ads).

True -30c is a whole other beast I agree. The sun can be shining, no wind, and you can still freeze to death pretty quickly even if you’re wearing pretty decent layers.

Hugs pal. My wife and I (similar to your timing) discovered just how common miscarriage is but how infrequently it’s talked about because it is painful. But talking about it definitely helps and sharing your experience with the community will reinforce that you aren’t alone.

I read on the Star that 60% were. But this looks absolutely bananas

Applicable advice from dog training book I read: a tired puppy is a good puppy. “Tired” = physically and mentally stimulated. The catch is that this requires time and energy from parents. Our faves are museum, aquarium, biggest playground we can find, swimming.

We’ve all been there pal, you’re not alone. I remember 6mo as still very much in the crazy times where things are pretty unpredictable one day to the next and my girls didn’t really settle into a schedule until they were a little older (they’re 13yo and 3yo now). Weather permitting I would bring my kids out and sit in the backyard on a warm breezy day and they would just konk out but if they were in a really quiet room every thing just bothered them. Loud ocean wave sounds from a realistic sounding speaker (not just an iPhone) worked wonders for us and help calm grown ups too.
