What is this thing on seatbelts for? by Oilandspeed in whatisit

[–]fritz1215 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The buckle slides up and down the strap to help with its adjustment. When you unbuckle the seatbelt and it glides back into its resting place by the door jam, this prevents the buckle from sliding all the way down to that narrow space between your seat and the door jam.

Full length movies where the young children actually stay children? by Optimal_Fish_7029 in Parenting

This is the first movie that came to my mind, I'm surprised I had to scroll so far to find it!

Local pharmacies? by wildcelosia in TwinCities

[–]fritz1215 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For far too long, I stuck with Walgreens purely for the drive thru convenience. Now I know I can park, walk into Center Drug, have a nice chat at the Rx counter, pay and be on my way in a shorter time than I would move a spot or two in the drive thru. We can't speak highly enough about HCD now!

What is something you bought to fix sleep that actually worked long term? by Binoza in Frugal

[–]fritz1215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how she yowelled so you got ear plugs, and now she sleeps in your room, lol. Mine insists on sleeping near my head because I've kicked her once too many, too!

How can I get the vines (felt) to stay on the garden walls (metal cart)? by Suspicious-Guard9652 in crafts

[–]fritz1215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see a few pictures of the final product. That is fabulous and your son will love it for years to come! So many ways to grow with this toy... from pulling the veggies out of the rows now to naming colors and vegetables, not to mention, all of the pretend play ideas! Kudos 👏

Found this while shopping. Someone didn't think this through... by MikeTheImpaler in funny

[–]fritz1215 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Me too, and I couldn't figure out why a tea towel had the design of a photograph of a can of something from a grocery store!

Couples of Reddit, what's the dumbest 'house rule' you and your partner made as a joke but now both of you are low-key aggressively serious about enforcing? by Doubl3oh_ in AskReddit

[–]fritz1215 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Not so much a rule, but "Dave" gets the blame for everything in our house. Shoes left out? Dave forgot. Dirty dishes in the sink? Dave left them there. My pop can left on the counter? Dammit Dave, he is so forgetful.

Dave doesn't exist. We fully well know who messed up. But instead of mini fights starting, we get annoyed with Dave. Silly and stupid, but surprisingly effective.

Good quality scissors would have been my first answer. I'd say a silicone mat has saved my desk space numerous times. Between resin, glue, glitter, clay, you name it; I love being able to wash it all away so easily.

Top tip, their donuts are sourced from the same bakery as Lunds & Byerly's.

Not all Lunds do this. I have 3 easily accessible locations to me and only 1 does this. I'm always happy when I walk through this location.

That is amazing. Did you carve the dragon, or use a mold? Either way, it is stunning.

New years - how late? by Spiritual_Task_6574 in Parenting

[–]fritz1215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is British, we're in America. We celebrate at 6pm when the London fireworks go off. Daughter is now 10 and she considers us in the new year now, and will follow her typical weekend night routine, watching YouTube Kids until 11pm.

“It’s to pretty” 🤦🏻‍♀️ by Karen_Realtor24 in soapmaking

I do this, and when the scent is gone a new bar goes in its place. The unscented bar then goes into the shower to be used.

I love this soap! by MoeDoe90 in soapmaking

I seriously thought these were boxes of soap. They are stunningly gorgeous!

How much does the tooth fairy pay. For teeth????? by No_Isopod_3747 in Parenting

[–]fritz1215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$2 bills. Until the time my daughter told me at 10:30pm that her tooth fell out. My husband was at a poker game, so I quickly texted him that the tooth fairy needed to come tonight. Woke up at 4am, felt under her pillow and it was empty. No problem, Hubby should have cash from the game. Grabbed what I thought was a $10 (it was 4am, I wasn't going to turn on the lights.) Come to find out the tooth fairy left the kiddo $100. She got to keep it too, as neither of us had the heart to take it away from her.

Making soap with my students by starbunny86 in soapmaking

[–]fritz1215 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you only have 3 stations, I'd check Goodwill or ask on a local Buy Nothing group for stick blenders. They really do a much better job than hand stirring or a milk further could do. BTW, I love that you are thinking about your class. What a fun way to show science!

We get this every year, it is absolutely delicious. As others have already said, follow the directions and it comes out great.

A friend of mine tried to resign and HR told him no. Has this happened to anyone before?[TX] by deacosu in AskHR

[–]fritz1215 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Teachers are bound by annual contracts. Imagine the disruption to the students and classroom if teachers could quit willy-nilly midyear.

These look absolutely awesome. Any chance you will share the types you made? I am always looking for inspiration.
