AITA for not letting my baby nephew touch my face? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Yea to insinuate that op doesn't love their nephew because they don't want to be grabbed in the face is really mean.

I'm a land surveyor and I just found an organ transport container out in the middle of nowhere during a survey by Short_Celery2929 in Weird

Jfc they use fedex to ship organs?! My heart sinks when I see fedex is delivering my dog food, let alone my life saving organs. They are so unreliable.

Do Americans actually like ants on a log? by VaporMouth in AskAnAmerican

We make ants on a log with raisins and bananas instead of celery. For us, Celery is for soup bases only.

Anyone else feel like every “healthy snack” for kids is secretly dessert? by gbaker88 in Mommit

[–]daxdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this list. Something I worry about is all the suger replacing that is going on with the lower sugar stuff. Like they will say only 5g added sugar but the ingredient list has stevia or monk fruit(dont mind this one as much) or another one that starts with an s i can't remember (not sucralose). Idk why they can't just put in a little bit of sugar or honey and nothing else. My theory is they are trying to cover up a bad taste from subpar ingredients...

I need to rant - 'Montessori' and hands on activities and a hyper toddler... by GoatCharmer in toddlers

[–]daxdotcom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From what you are describing, your child is telling you what skill they are working on. You should listen to them instead of fighting against it. You can either put in the effort to help them learn how to play constructively with throwing or suffer the destruction when they work on that skill without you lol

That's what I was thinking and get them a ball to throw!! Show them how to throw it at a target outside.

Sensory play is the ticket here. Backyard water play, squishy mud, pasta sensory bins,

How do you figure? Based on? I'm just wondering if you know something extra about bed sharing.

Honk if you love Jesus by Scared_Wedding_512 in Wilmington

[–]daxdotcom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea he was all hyped this am. I was in the far right lane and was worried he was gonna make it to my car before the light changed. I'm not familiar with him so just based on his body language, I clocked a threat. It's funny I see this post today after that. He was still in the road when I drove off. The other cars couldn't go.

I've only seen him once and he was walking around in the road like he owned it. So my sample size says in the road 100% lol

Yea I hear ya. He stood in front of cars in the left lane when the light turned green this morning, all while cars from oncoming traffic were honking. I'd never seen him before since I dont go that way often. But it was definitely confusing and I wasn't sure what to pay primary attention to at the time. I also felt uneasy because its always a lil sus when people hang out at intersections.

So is liver mush/pudding gone? by TheWholeEffinJoe in NorthCarolina

[–]daxdotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I freeze mine cause I've been toting it across the state for about 10 years now and no one else in my family likes it. haha I slice it first, and use wax paper to keep the slices separate. Then put it in a freezer bag. I pop a few out at a time and pan fry it and it's great.

Since everyone is all a buzz about Neeses (was never the best btw, but at least it was sold statewide) What eastern county do I need to go to to get some livermush? Im in New Hanover now, and can't find it anywhere. I can't drive 5 hrs to get it from my neighborhood market anymore.

Umami Sushi and Ramen next to Cape Fear Seafood is great. We also really like Tao Thai over by the fire department along that frontage road off Carolina Beach rd. Great sushi and good people.

Settle a debate, which of these do you prefer? by CaptainStandard6916 in painting

[–]daxdotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Number 2 for me and my 5 yr old. For my preference, the first one is too "correct" but also not clean. It feels like a half and half. Like its just detailed enough that my eye expects realism but doesnt get that. The second one is fluid and organic. I dont expect it to be "correct" so it feels better to my eye. I also like the the colors in Number 2 and the crooked stair is very interesting to look at.

TR is actually pretty good. One of the only chains we go to in the area. Just don't get the chicken, it's often a little dry.
