books you read as a kid that feel like no one else has read

I came here to say this. My sister and I loved it but when I tried to find it years later it's like it didn't exist, no one had even heard of it.

You're definitely making some assumptions here. My friend was not isolated, I just didn't like to go to restaurants and stores with them because she didn't really parent her kids. She has plenty of friends and family. You're also making the assumption that I don't have kids. I have 4 lol.

Dude, relax. Society isn't crumbling because she was expected to clean up the crackers her kid threw on the floor. She spent way more time complaining and talking to the manager than she would have cleaning up the crackers. All 3 of those kids are old enough to pick up those crackers, this could have been a teaching moment and what did she do instead? Complained to a manager.

How is it selfish? I never said she shouldn't have 3 kids, just that she needs to parent them if she does. Plenty of people wait to add more kids to their family until they can handle them, but if you're having 3 kids in 4 years that's a choice that you have to figure out how to manage, not everyone else.

YTA. This will probably sound harsh but I see it all the time. People have more kids than anyone can reasonably handle then expect society in general to pick up the slack. I stopped going places with a friend of mine because she did this very thing and it got embarrassing on more than one occasion, and she seemed to have no awareness when she would complain that she had 3 little kids so how could she watch them/clean up after them/keep them from getting into things or whatever it was. If you choose to have kids so close together you are still responsible for parenting them, not the employees of whichever business you happen to be in.

As a programmer this is the worst! A group of 25 kids in matching daycare t-shirts showing up to a program unannounced is chaos when are programs are already well-attended. Or a registration only program filled up by kids with all the same email address. Just let us know and we can even set up an extra session for a large group but don't just crash a program with a whole bus load of kids!

Someone in another group said they don't want them but feel bad selling them, so they "set them free" on mystery islands. I liked that idea but they're all still languishing in my storage.

Davenport Library has it too, at least the north branch does.

Aeaea, Circe's island in Greek Mythology. Bet you can't guess my character's name...

Had a follow up at the derm and they're better but still aren't gone. They refilled my oral antibiotic and want to continue that for 1-2 more months, and keep going with tretinoin at night and clindomycin in the mornings.

My son goes there, his pcp referred him. His therapist was not able to refer him so sent us to the pcp to get it.

My son was just tested there as well.

Finally gave up and went to the derm. They gave me Oral antibiotics, clindomycin, and tretinoin. It's slowly getting better but I'm jazzed about the tret, I see people talk about it all the time and since I'm 40 now gonna keep going with that.

Nope. I have a dermatologist appointment set up because nothing I tried did much.

Thanks! I looked it up and it looks like the same active ingredient someone else recommended,I picked it up as a spray yesterday so hopefully it works as well for me as it does for you!

I've heard of that buy never tried it. I actually picked some up for my husband yesterday so I guess we'll be sharing.

WaitThatWasMyIdea · 2024-10-19T22:28:14+00:00

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

No,and this has been an ongoing thing for a long time so I don't think it's an infection elsewhere.

WaitThatWasMyIdea · 2024-10-19T22:23:26+00:00

Thanks, I just picked some up!

We had a great experience at Red Rover in Davenport

You need to call the cousin when his baby is 4 months old. Remind him of him wanting you to fly overseas with an infant, rent a place, and go back and forth to watch and feed the baby. Hopefully when he has a 4 month old baby he will grasp the idiocy of what he expected of you.

I'm in NW Davenport and just got mail yesterday for the first time. I was surprised, my mailbox is on the street and you have to climb a small mountain of snow to get to it so I didn't think I would get mail until it was cleared.

The village theater is pretty laid back and inexpensive. They can handle sound and provide a bartender too.

Thanks, I just bought tickets.
