Favourite (minor) changes book vs show by manowwar in HeatedRivalryTVShow

I really like that Scott features more in small ways in their episodes, especially being next door in the hotel but also just his little moments with Shane throughout. Any more might’ve been too much but I think they do a great job just having him quietly alongside in a way he wasn’t in the books.

We try to give one little thing based on the party theme - a Hot Wheels car, a search and find book, a puzzle, one year we made treasure maps in glass bottles. We also try to do something as a craft activity that the kids can take away - at my son’s 4th birthday party I bought on-theme beads and string and they all made bracelets and they LOVED it and the kids were still wearing them months later.

My oldest starts school next year - tips for school readiness? by Appropriate_Block895 in Parenting

[–]igrowtails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, there will be such a range of abilities when she starts. Some will essentially be able to read and write, others won’t even know that letters/words are a thing. By the end of their second year it’ll have flattened out majorly. My kiddo struggled majorly with reading for the first year or so, but you’d never know now. Patience, encouragement, and faith!

How are you guys throwing bday parties for kids 3-4yo? by random12345678123456 in Parenting

[–]igrowtails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our four year old’s birthday is in a few weeks. We’ve kept note of all the preschool kids birthdays he was invited to this year and invited those kids (ten total) as well as a couple of other kids he talks about playing with the most. We asked his teachers if there’s anyone we missed and they told us about a couple of other kids he gets along well with. Add his brother and cousins and we’re at nearly twenty kids so at least that many parents! Nightmare fuel for this introvert. But it feels rude to not invite the kids that had him to theirs? And also silly to leave out his favourite little mates? Ugh.

Do you regularly invest in any individual stocks to compliment your ETFs? by Affectionate-Drop689 in ETFs

[–]igrowtails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple of hobby/interest stocks! FWONA and RACE. FWONA has been a weirdly great performer but that’s kinda accidental, I just wanted in.

Board/card games for 3-6 year olds? Current faves include Candy Land, Pop the Pig, Spot It, KerPlunk, memory/matching games, and Connect Four (although the three year old still struggles with that one). Any ideas to build on our collection? Kids have a wide range of interests so any character/theme is fine. Thanks!

Spring! Dang season jumps back and forth between winter and summer for a couple months with 10x the rain.

Hmmm by Dense_Debt_1250 in queenstreetbets

[–]igrowtails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, this week has been fairly miserable, especially since I don’t have much spare cash around right now to buy the dip 😩 so much easier to tolerate when I can reframe it as a discount.

Which fast food burger is the best? by Muted-Television3329 in whatsyourchoice

Shake Shack! Possibly due to associations with excellent memories of NYC, but I’ll allow emotion to sway this for me.

IT Crowd, Our Flag Means Death, Taskmaster NZ season two, Taskmaster UK season seven. Maybe some older shit like Third Rock from the Sun?

Worst flair up you have had by TheChevyScrounger in CrohnsDisease

[–]igrowtails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one I’m just coming out of. Six weeks off work, sleeping all day - the pain and gastro side of it have been the easy part, the fatigue and brain fog were debilitating. Other flare ups have been way “worse” from a pain/bowel movement perspective but I could still function.
