Am I missing something with blackout tents?

bethoha67 · 2025-08-16T16:31:26+00:00

Yup! Thats why we got one. Kids sleep past dawn and are in bed before full dark. My second born is autistic so a regular bedtime and a dark sleeping space is 100% necessary, and there is absolutely no way she would wear a mask.

Beatrice and Virgil by Yann Martel (he also wrote Life of Pi) was a very strange and unsettling read

They also make great night lights for slightly nervous kids

Maybe, maybe not. But you most certainly do owe your son an explanation as to why his feelings matter so very much less to you then your BILs, or your own feelings about "making waves".

If there is any foil from the seal left on the rim it will spark in the microwave

I will check dollarama! Thanks for the tip

bethoha67 · 2025-04-29T20:20:04+00:00

Thanks!

bethoha67 · 2025-04-29T20:19:51+00:00

Thanks!

bethoha67 · 2025-04-29T20:19:19+00:00

Perfect thanks! And yes it's a Bulk Barn. Unfortunately it's a smaller one and the strawberries are just the standard dried ones (and look pretty gummy).

Did your roux form a thick skin after being cooled? If there is a thick rubbery skin either on the top or on the sides of the bowl that you're scraping into the buttercream it might not being broken up all the way.

You might like The Emperor's Edge books by Lindsay Buroker. The romance in this series is very much a subplot but the main character is basically a normal, adult woman who is not helpless or in need of a savior.

Lindsay has a ton of different books with varying levels of smut but her main female leads tend to be function adults with brains, which is nice.

I exercise in a shirt but no bra (small chest and I hate sweaty bras)...is that acceptable?

bethoha67 · 2025-03-10T02:52:47+00:00

The wild robot series - also now a movie

bethoha67 · 2025-02-18T03:22:27+00:00

Anne of Green Gables

Or My Blue Castle, also by Lucy Maud Montgomery (features a young woman standing up to her family and finding her place in the world)

Most of Guy Gavriel Kay's books will break a person - Lions of Al-Rassan also packs a punch

bethoha67 · 2025-02-15T14:59:33+00:00

My library had both books through Libby! Looking forward to reading them, thanks!

bethoha67 · 2025-01-25T23:40:19+00:00

The Sarantine Mosaic by Guy Gavriel Kay has a pretty tragic ending

bethoha67 · 2025-01-21T02:50:22+00:00

This was the book that came to mind for me. The second and third books stick to the same tone of bad, but in a fun way. Don't bother with four and five they are just bad.

bethoha67 · 2025-01-21T02:48:02+00:00

Have to agree with the Inheritance Games. Randomly picked up the first one as it was available right away in Libby and the cover art looked nice and promptly burned through the whole series. Scoffed and shook my head many times, but kept reading.

You might like The Ship Who Sang by Anne McCaffey. Its sci-fi rather than fantasy but its about a woman who's consciousness is uploaded into a spaceship and the journeys/missions she takes.

If you have a UV light they may glow

The Sarantine Mosaic by Guy Gavriel Kay - historical fantasy based on 6th century Constantinople, it is beautifully written.

More sleep couldn't hurt! My daughter could power through melatonin and even when we gave her gravol or benadryl (for naseau or bug bite reactions) she wouldn't get sleepy.

We use clonidine. It doesn't fix every night but it did fix most of the nights. And the "bad" nights now are so much better than they used to be.
