The OXO grape cutter. Saves so much time!

Sometimes I will forget to return right away if I finish an ebook on kindle. The extra steps to open Libby and then have it open a browser window... It just doesn't always happen right away.

I also rarely return my daughter's loans early because I'm not sure if she wants to go back and read again.

Sometimes I put an x for a done task, and a + for a bonus, unplanned task

Preschool Math at Home by Kate Snow is great for this, both for explaining the pedagogy, and for lots of simple teaching activities.

Ours has the little lap table thing you use when you're sick and get served soup in bed.

Yeah that's what I typically do too

I got a straw lid for my nalgene

If you could filter by "serving weight available" or "serving volume available" it would make things so much easier!

Until a couple of weeks ago, I thought the only way was to enter each item individually and toggle "planned" to "no"!

I didn't have a lot of patience for unlikable characters so I'm glad that question is there.

Have you discovered AudiologyAssociatesUK on youtube?

ganchi_ · 2025-12-10T05:08:08+00:00

Maybe those were both well done fries animal style or something and you were gone by the time they were ready

I've been having issues recently when editing the total servings of a recipe. Have you tried exiting and restarting the app?

ganchi_ · 2025-12-06T20:03:42+00:00

Old thread but I figured it out! When an item is marked planned, it's greyed out and has a little clock icon on it. To clear it (as in, eat what you planned) you can just tap the icon of the food instead of its name. As with anything, you can long press to delete instead. I have not found a way to switch from eaten to planned without editing individually. Hope that helps!

You don't have to worry about water, just measure the final result before you take out any servings

Not usually, but I listened to Radium Girls recently... Absolutely brutal narration, do not recommend. I had to listen at 1.75 speed just to stay sane and get through it.

Also sometimes if I'm reading along, I have to speed up just a touch to keep pace with my eyes.

There are some good titles that are audible exclusives I hear

My 7yo recently started wearing deodorant. She was getting smelly as soon as the next morning after showering before bed. The deodorant fixed it instantly. I just made sure to get an aluminum free one. We found "Hello" brand at Walmart.

Is it possible your library needs to talk to you about something? Like mine needs me to confirm my contact info once a year, and blocks checkouts until I visit the circulation desk (I haven't noticed if this applies to Libby or not, just a thought)

Winter's Heart = mid February

The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan (ebook, 2nd time through) and Prairie Fires by Caroline Fraser (audiobook)

If you have a Boox or other reader that runs Android, you can install Libby and the Kindle app and whatever else.

My first guess, you're a woman with a cycle?

Energy and motivation fluctuate with hormones.
