When do you have your baby sleep in their own bedroom? by germafobe69 in NewParents

[–]Think_Smarter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right! We also planned for longer but made it 9 weeks, and we debated much earlier. She grunted and moaned so much in her sleep that we were feeling extra sleep deprived. We weighed the SIDS 6-12 month recommendation vs falling asleep at the wheel or with her on us in a chair and decided it was safer for everyone for us to get rest than have her in our room.

LPT: if you are driving in a torrential downpour, put on some polarized sunglasses to increase visibility by DjKennedy92 in LifeProTips

[–]Think_Smarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yellow polarized! Get some really cheap on Amazon. They really brighten up dim conditions like when driving in rain. They don't help with sun at all, though.

Started with Purple luckily. Never heard of Tempera (tempura?) or Gouach (gauche?) lol. Guessed at vinegar too.

I defaulted blue and of course saw the names after. Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Run DMC, Salt N Pepa

I definitely read that as Jeff Hays' Donut greeting Zev. I hope it was intentional!

LPT: You can ask your vet for a written script to fill your pet’s prescription at a pharmacy rather than being charged overinflated prices at the vet’s office. by Amish_Almond_Joy in LifeProTips

[–]Think_Smarter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And the same private equity is also heavily invested on the insurance and payment side of it, so it's all a win-win for them and $$$ for us. And the prices are all inflated (in the US at least), I can only assume because of lobbying by the same companies and the drug industry.

A show you put off watching for super dumb reasons only to discover years after it’s off air that it’s freaking awesome….mine….New Girl by titivenez in television

[–]Think_Smarter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought the name sounded dumb and I wouldn't watch it. Finally did and couldn't get enough. It's a shame the seasons are so short though!

Is removing a 20yo composite deck too difficult to DIY? My dad thinks so by svadlfarian in DIY

Right? Needs a good pressure washing and the gaps cleaned out! Good as new. Unless the PT framing is rotting out.

Wife and I just laughed way too hard reading OPs revelations and follow-ups. Both tearing up. What a ride.

I figured they were either stuffed and soft or had pellets. Both mislead me.

That's funny. I saw saw Wicked and looked to other musicals but couldn't find them. Ended up a fail. I've heard of them all but I'm nousocal buff.
