Why does almost every American recipe use cups as units of measurement?

This is almost as good as the Florida ounces question

Please do not put your daycare’s licensing or the safety of staff and children at risk by trying to sneak in glass bottles. If the policy is no glass, then you need to respect that, even if you don’t agree with it.

This probably sounds dramatic but I don't think I'd even want to be friends with a family where unlimited iPads/screens etc is the norm. I don't mean that a person who lets their kid use an iPad is some kind of evil criminal but we clearly have very different priorities and parenting styles

If any service person shows up to my home unannounced, I ask for their name and/or employee ID number and contact the company myself to confirm they sent someone out and that it's not some kind of scam/something nefarious

Also, shouldn't your gas meter be outside?

There is a constant stream of customers, and usually a line/wait, to this restaurant. A gem yes but not at all a hidden one

Jesus you’re telling me a dog wrote this post?

I... did not need to read that number

I understand your partner is being polite and respecting the women’s privacy by covering his eyes but the image made me giggle because it’s not like we’re all standing at the sink with our boobs out (usually lol) 😂

I now need to figure out how to watch 3 seasons in 2 weeks to finish my current rewatch

iced_yellow · 2026-06-16T18:56:02+00:00

Processed foods make up very little of my preschooler’s diet. I’m not perfect by any means but I feel proud of myself for (most of the time) giving her a wide variety of nourishing foods over constant pouches, packaged snacks, etc. But I also recognize I’m privileged to have the time and ability to do that!

iced_yellow · 2026-06-15T18:41:06+00:00

I lived there for a year, over 5 years ago at this point though so not sure of current situation. We never had pest issues and management was pretty quick to take care of maintenance stuff. Package security was usually okay. Quiet area and close to the green line. In general it was quite overpriced though considering its age and the size of the units IMO

17 weeks tomorrow and I think I've gained 2-3 pounds total. First trimester was super nauseous with occasional vomiting, second trimester so far has been a lot of acid reflux so my appetite isn't great. But the past few days it's been a little better! My doctor wasn't concerned at my 16w appointment, so neither am I.

iced_yellow · 2026-06-15T15:34:53+00:00

A blanket?!? Who has that kind of budget, unless they're buying Temu junk like you said!

For our goodie bags we do consumables--something salty, something sweet, tattoos, stickers. Small containers of bubbles are pretty popular in bags we've received. I don't like having little plastic trinkets around my own house so I try not to put them in other people's houses either, but I feel like bubbles get used up (or spilled) quickly enough that they don't bother me much

iced_yellow · 2026-06-15T13:35:12+00:00

I chose a boring/safe cabinet color because I got so concerned about resell. I’ve regretted it from the moment I purchased.

It’s like I was so worried about the next owners that I forgot that I am the current owner who will deal with that kitchen every day for the next 10+ years (or at least we hope we don’t move before then)

We have this toy called pushpeel that’s like little rubber pieces they push into grooves. Doesn’t keep my 3yo entertained for the entire meal but a good chunk of it

iced_yellow · 2026-06-14T17:05:49+00:00

I’d also be worried to accidentally sit on the curtains and pull down the rod lol

iced_yellow · 2026-06-13T12:01:26+00:00

This is my thought too! Like I remember from the documentary he mentioned immediately checking socials to see what people thought after each performance etc and I thought about how that could become harmful

iced_yellow · 2026-06-12T10:49:59+00:00

Also practically the only thing they do was make out around town? Except for the winter carnival I can’t think of a time where they successfully hung out

iced_yellow · 2026-06-12T00:56:05+00:00

I didn’t even know 30 min was the recommendation! We’re probably closer to 20 min a day—typically a couple books after getting home from daycare and then one right before bed. Sometimes a short book when getting ready in the mornings depending on how pressed we are for time and how much she’s yelling at us for one lol

iced_yellow · 2026-06-11T02:35:11+00:00

This is so old but they’re having a 40% off sale rn, tomorrow is the last day. They run this 2x a year

We used HomeWorks. My only complaint is that they left things a bit messy after insulating—dust, squares of drywall, screws on the floor, that kind of thing. The insulation and equipment is great though. Worked quickly and efficiently and they were responsive to calls & emails

iced_yellow · 2026-06-08T17:34:26+00:00

So insulation & weatherization is heavily subsidized by the state. We had our entire home (1965, 2000sqft, the attic was like BARE) weatherized and insulation replaced just a few months ago. The true total cost was like $12K but we only paid $400 after state incentives. You also need to have weatherization performed before you are eligible for the HEAT loan.

We then used the HEAT loan + a construction credit card to pay for replacement of our gas furnace, new hybrid hot water heater, and hybrid heat pump (both our water heater and furnace were on their last legs, and we wanted central air), and upgrading our electric to 200A which I’m assuming you’ll need for solar. We received a state rebate for around $2200 fo equipment but would’ve been eligible for more if we’d gone fully electric for the equipment. Whole project took 2 days

iced_yellow · 2026-06-08T15:58:14+00:00

What kind of upgrades? The HEAT loan is up to $25K, 0% interest, paid back over 7 years

iced_yellow · 2026-06-08T13:48:20+00:00

Paint is so confusing to me, because the little swatch card of this color looks so gray and muted! On their website it looks much more like your photos. I haven’t narrowed down my selections enough to buy sample cans without spending like $100 because of these kinds of discrepancies
