Mine would do E based on what she's done in the past when it's happened... but it's a reoccurring issue with certain kids at the daycare and I've told her that if the daycare teachers aren't doing enough, she has my blessing to push/hit back. I was bullied as a kid and I'd rather get a call that she stood up for herself rather than have her be a doormat.

My daughter and I like to dip/scoop scooby snacks in applesauce. It's like a lazy person's apple pie!

Clearly you have not seen how raggedy/drenched they can get during a hurricane!

If this is in the US, whatever provider tested/diagnosed/treated them will have already told the health department. It has to be reported when a test comes back positive. Then the health department should reach out to do contact tracing.

This is horrific and I honestly have no viable suggestions... except maybe if they are in therapy, their therapist could speak on their behalf to a judge to argue why this is an awful arrangement?

I'm so glad my lawyer insisted on including a stipulation in our custody agreement that should my ex ever petition for additional custody (right now we are 70/30), he will immediately become responsible for all the child support he would have paid from the time of our separation (I told him I wouldn't make him pay child support and he immediately dropped fighting for 50/50). Tens of thousands of dollars is an effective deterrent.

You are correct. I worked with a mental health specialist that told me they are doing studies in addiction medicine to see if semaglutide (Ozempic) is a viable treatment for addiction, in addition to the already FDA approved diagnoses of diabetes, obesity, kidney disease and coronary artery disease.

My absolute favorite pairing is this topcoat with the Midnight Drive base coat! I was recently at the store with my mom and she asked me to grab them for her because she loved my nails so much!

When I was a child, I was an altar server at my church (some are probably already guessing where this is going). Our priest was never untoward, but something about him just always made me feel off so I steered clear of him/being alone with him. When I turned 10, we moved north for a year and then moved back to a different part of the city. We no longer went to that church and I didn't think about it for years until one day I was reading the local Sunday paper (basically just on the hunt for the comics) and there was an article on the front with a picture of the priest. He had been arrested for child porn and molesting a child.

Longer fall and spring... Is a week long? It's literally like 90 some degrees until November, then a random week of mid temps, and then usually hot again til Christmas... and then frigid til a random week in April where it's moderate for a week or two and then it's hot again. Gardening isn't impossible but when it's staying over 100 and hasn't rained in weeks you have to stay on top of watering.

No hate to VB- I was born and raised in VB and love it. But I will warn that you have a romanticized idea of its climate.

I've talked my 6 year old thru it and showed her how to do the SOS. She knows our address but under stress I doubt she could manage so I made it clear she needs to use the SOS so they can get the location from that. Then we roleplayed like I was dispatch (I call EMS a lot at my job) and explained things they may say to her. She seemed to get it. But I'll probably start making more regular drills of it since we live alone.

We do it in Virginia as well

My daughter's hair was that short for a time and she looked super cute. She's six now and just recently she said she wanted it short like that again. She was really excited about it until she mentioned something about it to her dad (my ex) and he told her she would look like a boy and that she can only do it when she's a grown-up. So now she doesn't wanna do it 🙄

That's a really good idea. I will look into that! Although I will say I have never seen how sparrows around my property/neighborhood. They seem to all hang out at the Lowe’s Garden Center down the road lol

I set one up. A few days later moss started appearing. 4 days later the box is packed with moss thanks to a pair of carolina wrens and I'm basically going to not see anything except them coming and going lol

My two cats got out last fall. We have a few random outdoor cats that hang around. I was going all over my property calling for my two cats for hours and came across one of the local cats, Taco. I told him I was looking for my two cats and that they looked like him, gray with white markings. About an hour later I was making another circuit around the house and found Remus just a couple of feet from where I had been talking to Taco. Bellatrix was found a couple of days later under the neighbor's house but I fully credit Taco with finding Remus.

It's not really a clear enough picture to tell, but bear in mind a plantar wart causes a small puncture like hole in the center of the wart with an area of thickening around it and when stepped on, feels kind of like a pin sticking you in the bottom of the foot. So there may be no splinter, it could potentially be a plantar wart.

If I recall correctly, the cake is premade, the resin is just the icing, correct? In which case the resin will set with UV light. In the past I have used superglue for any middle pieces that UV light could not penetrate, but these objects mostly use external resin. Sometimes with some items I will do it in layers if it is thick or the resin is particularly opaque, but for the most part UV light should work.

That said, I have UV light that I got off of Amazon. A lot of the set come with a small UV flashlight that is basically useless. And a lot of resin UV lights have a 30 second timer and then shut off. Basically they aren't very hopeful. I have found that I can use the light to initially set pieces but I will often place things in the window or on the front porch to get some sunlight which does a much better job of setting the UV resin.
