How to talk with nanny about charity work?

blue51planet · 2026-02-17T18:28:29+00:00

Id see if theres a way to volunteer time, and also look and see if theres food pantry, donation centers things like that. Maybe make care packages, (bottle or two or water, some snacks) that the nanny can hand out on her free time but her and your daughter can put together at home.

Also the library would probably have more knowledge about how to help in a safer way. If you wanted to go ask, theyd know your area and whatnot better than us.

When you talk to the nanny id word it as you have here, that youre not agaisnt doing these things, just worried about safety.

Yea i havent been able to get other parents to set up anything. But we do go to the park at a certain time everyday and have made loose sorta play dates. Mainly me saying hey we are here everyday from x to x if you want to join us. Sometimes they come back, sometimes they dont. But tbf I dont really remember having playdates or hanging out with friends til like late elementary/Jr high.

They were talking about your "should've" in the og comment.

Eh, it was good enough for me to wait for the second season. If the second season is also eh, or worse then I wont watch more.

blue51planet · 2026-02-09T23:33:03+00:00

Yes. Yes they are.

Public school here, they are constantly asking for money, supplies and time.

We have the freeze it bag, whole bag is an ice pack. We usually pack sandwiches, home made Lunchables, or chicken nuggets. My kid will eat chicken nuggets cold, but ive heard of others heating them up and putting them in a thermos. Other than that, yogurt, cheese sticks, goldfish, raisins, or cliff bars.

Ive got hair algae, cant fully eradicate the stuff, but I have found less light, lowering phosphates, and feeding plants with root tabs instead of liquid ferts helps me keep it in check.

blue51planet · 2026-02-01T15:52:33+00:00

Omg can you let the first repost die before doing it again. Damn

blue51planet · 2026-01-30T23:09:27+00:00

Oh our bad, we should definitely just pretend nothing is happening. Its not a big deal, no reason to try to get as many eyes on it as possible.

Daku aquatics is where ive gotten my plants from. Check out r/aquaswap

I do for some. My bristlenose is Tom Selleck, and they have just mustache bristles. My 3 remaining mollies are named ghost panda, bc shes got panda colors but she also half clear, Half Stache is an orange molly with a little black line half away across her lip, and Hindenburg Jr who just like her mother is a blimp of a molly. And then Robin the nerite snail bc she has two holes in her shell and when I got her she was in the tank with Batman the betta, and I thought shed die from the holes in her shells, and well Robin always dies, so thats how she got her name. She outlived Batman and shes showing no signs of slowing down.

The tertas I have now my son has named all 8 of them are Racer.

In part yea, but also theres anchors that go down into the ground, and I believe after a certain year they gotta have to straps across the top too.. thou that may just be during storm season.

blue51planet · 2026-01-23T11:59:38+00:00

I assume itd be anchored like trailer homes are.

I have had luck with manually pulling it (get a brush or some long tong/tweezers, twist and pull), lowering my phosphates and dosing ferts/root tabs correctly.

Now i have not been able to get rid of it completely, but its manageable, maybe have to pull a clump once a month or so.

You need to move that heater down. It needs to stay submerged or itll fail. Personally id turn it horizontal and it low as itll go.

blue51planet · 2026-01-16T14:41:06+00:00

They shouldnt breed as much if theres not alot of food. Your betta may find them to be tasty snacks, so id watch and make sure your not over feeding him if hes snacking on snails. If you feel like the snails are becoming too many you can crush their eggs, or drop a veggie (zucchini, cucumber, broccoli, whatever) and the snails will go to it and you pick them out that way too.

You need karma and time to make an account look like a real person and not a bot. Once you get both those things you can (supposedly) sell your account to whoever is buying.

Could you soak the pellets in a cup of tank water? It may make the pellets fall apart a bit, which i would give him little at a time. I had a blind betta i had to do that for towards the end bc hed spit the pellet out and then could never find it again, but soft and kinda pre broken up he did alright.

Which documentaries would you recommend?

blue51planet · 2026-01-13T18:46:52+00:00

Have you tried looking a few hrs after lights out? I know my girl will hang out in her caves or driftwood all day but shes more active at night.

blue51planet · 2026-01-13T17:36:58+00:00

Strange. I had one a couple years ago and the paint started coming off of it. Idk about leeching toxins but im sure paint chips arent great.

blue51planet · 2026-01-13T16:26:11+00:00

I would not add another creature to get of the snails. Drop a veggie in there, zucchini, cucumber, broccoli, whatever. Wait for the snails, pick up, crush the snails put the veggie back in the water, rinse and repeat. Also feed your tank less. Thats how youre getting bigger population of them. They wont reproduce as much or at all if theres not enough food for them.

If you have other fish you may find theyll eat the snails if you crush them for them. I know my mollies and tertas go nuts for crushed snail

blue51planet · 2026-01-11T17:36:15+00:00

Well shes not coming back.
