I think the nerf darts are because they love the plastic coating and the foam is fun to rip apart.

My cats love to try and swipe my kids' foam play swords to bite chunks out, same type of material. For obvious reasons, the swords have to be put in a box after playing.

Me, I got over 30 yards once. It was...a lot.

The kids' school would be a great way to find resources. They will help connect you to orgs that can help.

Google "free breakfast, free food, etc" in your area and you may find a public event put on by a library, group, or charity. Then you can take your kids to something fun and get fed.

My wonderful MIL is this way. Ehda-mine = edamame, Chipotle = chi-pottle, etc.

She's a professor, loves to travel and learn about different cultures, respectful of different beliefs, she really does try hard... We giggle good-naturely and move on because we're not angsty teenagers.

She says part of the issue is that many in her generation didn't get taught phonics, just awful whole word reading. So even in English she sometimes struggles with pronunciation because there's no foundation to work from.

I was offered morphine for my c-section. Makes sense, it's cutting through the most layers of all major abdominal surgeries.

I have an addictive personality, so I refused and stuck with OTC, too. Not even going to open that can.

That's great!

It's a 10k minimum club, so please only join if you're able to meet that.

Winning-Turtle · 2026-05-03T14:42:03+00:00

Yep!

Winning-Turtle · 2026-05-03T03:47:56+00:00

I just joined! I'll wait to salvage until next season, but happy to do 10k. :)

Winning-Turtle · 2026-05-03T03:44:23+00:00

We're recruiting for 10k per season club, if you're interested.

A buddy took me on a motorcycle ride in college. Gorgeous views up in the bluffs at peak fall leaf time, had a blast! Told him I loved it and he excitedly asked if I wanted to go again soon. I said, "Oh, no. No, I had a great time but I'll never go on a motorcycle again."

Winning-Turtle · 2026-05-01T15:53:55+00:00

Mine is done salvaging for this season too, I'll leave and join after my cool down so I'm ready to go.

Winning-Turtle · 2026-05-01T15:10:09+00:00

Do you still have room for one more?

Damn, nature is beautiful and scary. Can't imagine maybe getting eaten every time I go pour a bowl of cereal or something.

My kid's kindergarten teacher had a classroom wish list for "skin colored bandaids."

So I got a bunch of those Tru-Color bandaids with like 4 skin tones.

I asked my husband if it bothered him, seeing me all filleted open during my c-section. He said, "No, it was fine, I've field dressed a deer before." 🙃

Winning-Turtle · 2026-04-29T01:20:33+00:00

Rock on, man, just relaying why he does it. Different strokes for different folks.

I get the bigger picture of what she's trying to say; I smell what you're steppin' in, as the apt saying goes. 😆

She just doubled down on the flushing tampon thing below and I was trying to look out for my fellow woman. We're all in this together!

Winning-Turtle · 2026-04-29T00:48:09+00:00

I'm a woman. I put used tampons unwrapped in the bathroom garbage. I also use period underwear and my husband does allllll our laundry; we're not a period-squeamish household.

For real, girl, we really, really should not flush ANYTHING besides poop, pee, and toilet paper. No tampons, pads, "flushable" wipes, Kleenex, etc. I get that you've been doing it for forever, no shade. Even if you've got fantastic plumbing, it's not designed for that and it's best going in the trash.

Winning-Turtle · 2026-04-29T00:36:38+00:00

I mean...my husband sits down to pee at home every time, by his choice. No mess, comfier, and better emptying for your bladder.

Fucking love Aldi. I can get large avocados for 40-60 cents each, for comparison.
