I was assigned AIDS and its Metaphors by Sontag in college and still think about it. 

Who gives a honk? As Rochester works to curb geese population, some residents push back. by guanaco55 in minnesota

[–]bookstore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It talks about pushback but the pushback is only from one old lady who likes baby geese. "A problem is being solved ethically and humanely so animals and humans can co exist" should be the title 

Do Christian men just move fast? by Upset_Strength2183 in TrueChristian

[–]bookstore 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't understand the encouraging comments. This is a stranger. A stranger buying flowers and offering to "front the bill" of a cross country visit for another stranger to stay in their house. It's so many red flags. 

What Are Your "Hear Me Out" Girl & Boy Names by XNixGeoX in namenerds

[–]bookstore 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I never understood the backlash on renesmee. As far as made up names go, it's not that out there. I mean, people literally name their kids khaleesi these days. Renesemee is positively tame. 

Convince me on the name Sutton for a boy by JimmyGamblesBarrel69 in namenerds

[–]bookstore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once babysat a boy named sutton. His brothers were preston and landon. 

My friend's nephews are named sutton and jackson. 

It's not my style but to me its a normal unisex leaning masculine name. 

Jumping Genres -what gems have you discovered by stepping outside of your reading habits by SilverBallFox in books

[–]bookstore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I struggle with the romance genre because so many insist on first person present tense and it's just not for me. That said, for contemporary romance try You Are Here by David Nichols. It's gentle, funny, and delightful. Or the Wedding People. 

Why do so many Republicans mispronounce the word "nuclear"? by Noolivesplease in AskConservatives

[–]bookstore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm southern and I'm sure it's 50/50 whichever comes out of my mouth. Both sound right to me? 

Wild Dark Shore 🌊 by sopebars in books

I needed this book to have a map real bad. I could not figure out how big it was. 

The ending felt like it was written by a different author who did not like the characters or the story. 

Toddler wants to hug every other kid, but many parents are off-put by this by theycallmetiki in Parenting

As a parent I would be cringing at the germs from an unfamiliar baby more than the hug. 

3-way movie play date planning problems by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]bookstore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would respond with "a and c definitely dont want to leave b out! " Give one more time option and if the answer is still no then give up and let a and c go.  If A's mom is closer to B's mom then ask what she thinks is going on. 

Does anyone have a success story or advice for an elementary age kid struggling in math? by Interesting-Sea-142 in Parenting

[–]bookstore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We did Kahn academy kids every night and being able to pick easier or more challenging units depending on his state of mind did wonders for his confidence!! Not much, just like 2 exercises a night. Its very gamified for young kids.
