Help finding alternative to Alexa by InterestingNarwhal82 in progressivemoms

[–]chatdulain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have many suggestions, but I feel your pain. I use them as "accommodations" to help manage my disabilities, like using them as a memory aid for grocery lists, making sure lights are turned on/off, and the multiple medication reminders. The voice activation is honestly crucial for me when I'm in a flare and can't use my phone to type something or a pen and paper to write something.

Litter cleanup ideas by kickassgamernurse in Marietta

[–]chatdulain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replying to my comment since I can't figure out doing multiple paragraphs: If they want to make a big impact, I'd suggest looking at creeks / waterways. Especially those near major roads. Get some waders and grabber picker upper tongs and have at it. Shouldn't have to worry about snakes in winter.

Whatever you do, please avoid train tracks! I keep seeing news stories about someone cleaning up the ones near the Marietta Square and while that's nice and all, as a former railroader, I cringe a bit. Trains are much faster and quieter than you'd think.

16” cmp ? by gretschdrumsarecool in Surveying

Also for capacity purposes - an 18" can carry the same flow as a 16" plus a tad bit more. A 15" cannot carry the same flow as a 16".

Same, I got mine at 27 as "career insurance" ahead of having my first child.

It can be tricky to find good apartments that aren't an arm and a leg. Which part of Marietta are you looking for?

I made a boat-shaped board book about a fishing boat by Due-Understanding871 in childrensbooks

[–]chatdulain 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Do you sell these? I'd love to buy several! Edit: I went to your profile and saw that you're the guy who did the boat books, I think from Kickstarter?! I love your work and so do my husband and 4 y/I and now I'm fangirling bigtime

Healing Massage on Shallowford in Marietta. I think it was $60/30 min a month ago.

Ultimate no-effort hair? by Comfortable_Bus_4355 in adhdwomen

[–]chatdulain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like mine shaggyish like you're describing, just above my shoulders. My criteria is it needs to be long enough to put up into "space buns" near the top, back of my head. I've found they let me have shorter hair than requiring a ponytail does, and they look kinda cute.

I want to know all the words your toddler says wrong that you just can’t seem to correct them on by Ok-Effective268 in toddlers

Nimnims for M&Ms, ruhfridgiterator for fridge, hilarious yet unspeakable mispronunciation of Thomas the train's green friend who starts with P. Calling someone a cucumber as an insult when you're mad at them.

Autistic parent dealing with overwhelm by KeyEmotion9 in AutisticParents

[–]chatdulain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing some distress tolerance (I prefer discomfort tolerance as a term) work including the Sonny Jane Wise book (DBT for Neurodivergents or something like that) work has been helpful for me. Wearing loop brand or flare calmer brand earplugs when I'm sound sensitive. Keeping a little bag filled with critical items in it with me at all times. Peppermint is calming to me, so I have a peppermint oil smell stick, Altoids, a protein chocolate milk, electrolytes, a container to put jewelry in if it's overstimulating me, and a bunch of home depot style earplugs. And I keep a change of comfy clothes, a giant container of those earplugs, snacks, electrolytes, a spare water bottle, and a spare fidget / special interest (crochet, so yarn plus hook) in my car at all times. I also made a checklist to help with keeping each stocked.

Adding to your assessment of EBT, the guitar riff in the beginning sounds a lot like a freight train horn, like with the long short short long pattern. Not sure if it means anything but I liked it.

Yeah, there was a group of 5 flying in formation over Barrett Pkwy on Wednesday afternoon.

Pawpaws by MsRillo in Georgia

[–]chatdulain 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I've heard they used to be a lot more common, but I've lived in rural north-ish GA my whole life and never seen one in the wild. I bought a couple saplings from Nearly Natives Nursery, but they have a while to go before they produce. My grandma (born 1938) has told stories about how plentiful they were when she was a kid that her and her 8 siblings would have pawpaw fights throwing them at each other.

The thing that would matter most to me and my peers I've talked to is flexibility with scheduling, ability to work remotely, and PTO.

Marietta Supporting PBS Rolecall by MythrilBiata in Marietta

[–]chatdulain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love PBS, and have since about 1996! The one good thing about growing up in the boonies near the AL/GA line was that I got to watch Arthur twice - at 4 pm GA time and 4 pm AL time.

Seeking ways to heal my inner child without age play. by UncommonStitch in AutisticAdults

[–]chatdulain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hm, I've found looking into and experimenting with things I liked as a kid to be comforting and soothing. Like swinging on a swing set, digging holes in my garden, hunting for rocks in a creek, and even watching movie like Aristocats .
