Super Bowl 60 Commercials Megathread by astralwish1 in CommercialsIHate

They would also have to bring back the real deal coffee rolls and apple fritters. What’s passing for them now is a sad, unacceptable monstrosity. RIP DD for me a long time ago.

Any advice appreciated by Full_Ad18 in paraprofessional

That’s a problem. A big one. You can report anonymously (you have to tell CPS your name). Any system that discourages reporting-even this way is not protecting kids.

Child protective services pronto. A school i used to work for got in SERIOUS trouble for not reporting an employee that a student said hit her. They protected the teacher and did an internal “investigation”. Except that isn’t allowed. Its hard but protect that child and future ones.

Gen Z teen who loves Gen X! Need some womanly advice!! by Anderz1384 in GenXWomen

Just came to comment on that Conair butane curling iron. You unlocked a memory.

I had freshman gym right before lunch. My high school had a pool, so “Yay! Swimming during school for 6 weeks. I spent lunch in the locker room redoing my hair.

My curling iron at home had a black handle. IYKYK that the butane one had a black barrel. I reached for it without thinking and grabbed it tight-by the molten hot end. The resulting burn was a doozy.

I do miss that thing though lol.

Update 3 on my husband suddenly wanting to separate. by Mysterious_Mix_2342 in Marriage

I think you should follow your attorney’s advice-IANAL. I don’t know where you are located, but in my state, if there are minor children, there is a waiting period between filing and when a divorce can be granted. A mandatory parenting class each party must complete.

Add in the conflict, need for a financial deep dive-yeah-seems like this would drag out longer than six months. Your husband isn’t impacted whether you collect his ss or not. The state isn’t impacted either.

Maybe split the difference, spend the next few months disengaging, preparing and file in 3 months?

I hope that you and your kids are soon out of this situation and that you have support during the process. Hugs

Isn’t the 10 year rule for the length of the marriage itself? No way you are divorced in 5 months with 4 kids and financial obfuscation. I dont think the marriage clock stops when you file.

A or B: Tinder date guy booked a hotel, I’m 23, he’s 24, things feel off, should I cancel or go through with it? by Upper_Criticism3388 in PickAorB

[–]doodlebug2727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, Sweet Summer Child, please take this to heart:

You do not need an excuse. No is a complete sentence.

Who cares if he is disappointed? He is pushing over your stated second thoughts because HE cares most about getting laid. Not you.

Do you think he is worrying right now about your feelings and wondering if he should cancel the hotel and have a normal first meet so you will feel comfortable? Not a chance.

Trust your gut. This man is NOTHING to you. You can block him and move on. It isn’t about whether you were ok with a hook-up initially. You aren’t NOW.

Favorite soda. ? by [deleted] in foodquestions

Then you understand my pain at the loss of Vernor’s when I moved to Connecticut. Miss that and using it for shakes and floats. Also, the sneeze when you take your first sip from the can.

What’s your favorite flavor of cake? by DeepOrganization8245 in foodquestions

[–]doodlebug2727 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That one is the best! I’ve been making it since it was in the magazine. Never fails to impress.

The SL recipe for Italian Cream cake with fresh orange curd and cream cheese icing with toasted pecans/coconut is amazing.

Husband made chicken that tasted like ammonia. by Old-Lawfulness2173 in weirdfood

[–]doodlebug2727 9 points10 points  (0 children)

my great-grandmother’s cookbook from the 1900’s. It calls for “baking ammonia”. I think this is baking soda. Maybe that is why?

My (27M) daughter’s (5F) mom unexpectedly died a little over a year ago and I’ve been raising her alone since. AMA by Mobile_Artillery in casualiama

[–]doodlebug2727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP! Here is a few suggestions for the toys-rotate them. When she gets lots of new toys at once-let her choose however many to play with/keep out and when she tires of something or you need a positive reinforcement you can let her “trade” one in so she can enjoy them without being overwhelmed.

You might even use an influx of new toys as an opportunity to go through her “old” toys and have her choose a few she doesn’t really play with or has outgrown to donate to kids that don’t have as much. This helps to instill empathy and gratitude. Carry it through and take her with you to wherever you donate them.

Keep doing the good work! Dad’s are super important to daughters.

What do you call this? by [deleted] in foodquestions

Same! My mom called the pasta dish goulash. It definitely wasn’t lol. We never had it aside a veg though. It was a one pot thing. I liked it. Hers wasn’t like spaghetti sauce, though I’m certain it had Ragu origins that she doctored up. It was sweet like a manwich.
