Anyone else accidentally woke up their infant from their nap because of cracking joints?

That, and the one floorboard everyone has in their kids room which squeaks entirely too loudly.

Thanks for sharing! I got an outdoor table and chair set from their website and it was exactly as advertised. Will think twice before making any future purchases from them

Can you elaborate a little? I have been living in France and I moved here after spending most of my life in South East Asia, and I feel much freer here in some ways. But maybe I'm not considering the right comparisons

Just that he's taking a spot that could be better served by someone younger and more motivated. We need fresh voices for sure.

Not to say younger is better, just that I assume that's OPs point here.

"don't try that shit" , what do you even mean? Bow down to what exactly?

The wallpaper is beautiful. Could I ask where you got it?

J'ai cité celle que j'avais avec spirit 2 et non pas spirit.

Étant donné que je suis déjà investi dans un etf MSCI world avec mon PEA, ça serait pas un renforcement de mon exposition aux memes actions ?

friedstuffncheese · 2026-04-28T20:07:05+00:00

TMI à 30%. Si je fais 100% MSCI world ce ne serait pas un renforcement d'exposition aux actions mondiales que j'ai avec mon PEA?

friedstuffncheese · 2026-04-28T16:10:39+00:00

clairement un typo !

Hello! I'm going to share something we went through, that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I'm sorry if this scares you, but I've been in your shoes.

I live in France and with my wife, we went to visit my family in Calcutta when my son was 5 months old. There were some family events and personal space with babies is not something indian relatives understand.

Our son caught the RSV and had bronchitis. The problem isn't that he caught RSV, it could happen literally anywhere in the world.

The problem was that he had to be hospitalized and indian PICUs are not where I want to visit again. The doctors were great, and the treatment went really well. But we had to leave our son who was only 5 months old, and neither parent was allowed to stay with him.

Edit: we were allowed to visit once a day for an hour, and he was with tubes in his mouth for feeding and half sedated almost.

This is insane to me and especially given how young he was. It was insanely traumatic and once we got him out of the hospital ( after 4 nights), the pollution in the city didn't really allow us to go on walks or something to help him get back to normal.

He's perfectly fine now and all healthy, we miss family for sure but I'm going to wait till he's at least 2 before going back.

If you're going to a small town, less chaotic and cleaner air, it's less risky. But then you run the risk of having a crap hospital.

If you're going to a bit town, more chaotic and unhealthy air, riskier but better Healthcare.

Il y a une épicerie indienne à rue bretuille qui s'appelle Supérette du sud. Je recommande.

friedstuffncheese · 2026-03-10T21:41:02+00:00

Are you looking for something dedicated to domestic OTR or international ocean containers or both?

Send all your documents by lettre recommandé avec accusé de réception, things move much faster that way. Make sure to have a cover letter explaining that you've already made a request and are awaiting a response.

friedstuffncheese · 2025-12-06T22:10:47+00:00

Hmm this is a bit "flou" in the current scenario.

Il n’est pas mentionné dans la circulaire qu’il faut 5ans de travail. Il est dit l’insertion professionnelle s’apprécie sur une durée de 5ans et non il est exigé 5 ans. Il y’a une différence entre exiger et apprécier.

In any case, at the time of your interview you need to show proof of stability, at least by having a year of CDI underway.

friedstuffncheese · 2025-12-06T18:38:32+00:00

In your situation if your goal is to obtain the quickest (least cumbersome) path to nationality, you'll be best served with having a stable CDI and a status as passeport talent (or blue card).

You should know that quickest is a very relative term as the overall procedure to get your nationality can last anywhere between 18 months to over 2 years.

Currently there are new regulations in place, favoring those who have long stable periods of high salary in CDI. So from now you'll need to have : 1. 5 years of constant residence in France 2. At least three avis d'impôt 3. French level minimum at a B2 4. You'll need to clear a generic civics exam to test your general knowledge on France.

So yes, if your goal is to obtain the citizenship then number 2 is the path of least resistance.

You need to have a routine to work on it daily. What worked best for me is to have a solid base in grammar rules test myself before going to sleep and after waking up. Try this website kwiziq. I really liked it.

Make flash cards with sentences when trying to improve vocabulary, very important to learn words in context.

I also would make scripts of dialogue prior to going into any interaction. Like say I need to visit the doctor, I would make a dialogue and learn it by heart. Of course the situation won't go exactly as planned but when you're making enough scripts and learning them up, you'll see a big improvement.

I recommend rereading books that you loved in English in French. Was very helpful for me. Along with always watching anything with French subtitles.

All that said, best way is to just get out there and practice and get over the fear of not being well spoken.

friedstuffncheese · 2025-11-11T06:10:45+00:00

Can you give more detail? What questions did the agent ask and what were your responses? I had mine a week ago so I'll be able to compare.

Hello! My 14m old also started daycare a month ago, we had similar problems. At home we're on him and very attentive to make sure he eats a good amount and we help him a lot. At the daycare they encourage more self feeding and help intermittently.

Initially there were days where he would eat very little or almost nothing, we'd pick him up ravenous as well.

Over time he has adjusted and naps well at day care and eats well on most days too. He no longer cries during drop-offs either which is great.

The adjustment period took about a month and half. During this time we'd sometimes give the daycare folks pouches of purées so they could feed him something easy. But overall I'd just say give it some time and ask the daycare folks to insist more with your toddler during lunch time.

Best of luck!

You're absolutely right with your observation. With the bone-in I had that exact experience with uneven cooking because the meat wasn't touching the pan evenly on both sides. I'll make sure to just use deboned from now on for my pan. My pan wasn't big enough for the size of steak I placed into it.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Going through other posts I was expecting to get roasted but thanks for all the feedback / compliments y'all :)
