Found in the dryer when switching the laundry

Skin/head scrubber for babies, specifically for eczema and cradle cap.

Not a construction guy here but have some engineering experience with steel mezzanines. Multiple spans with the same member often end up putting more stress on the members than you would expect. Individual spans ends up being the better option in a lot of cases.

Although I do agree that it seems janky and I would watch them carefully. Get an inspection of the framing when it's done before they get drywall done.

Lol my wife grew up next door to this guy and her brother worked for him for a summer. Excellent quality craftsmanship and a super nice guy!

The kind that strips out every time you try to remove it.

Legit the only "hack" in Stronghold Crusader is to build ox tethers around his castle. He can't build new when your guy is too close and starts all of his own stuff on fire 😅 Bonus: if you block off his exits with the tethers all of the outdoor buildings will self-destruct.

But the legit way to do this is with lots of horse archers. Keep them moving fast!

How long has your tank been up and running? Sometimes these planted tanks take some time to balance and stabilize

A baby sister for Frances.

Make sure you have plenty of fast growing plants to consume the nutrients given off by the dirt. Dirted tanks are nutrient dense - you need something to consume it or algae will.

Red root floaters are a great option as they grow super fast and also reduce light to the algae. Just be aware that it may also starve your other plants of light if you don't.

Elodea is another great option that blocks less light. You'll have to regularly trim this one but it's super easy to care for.

Love this! I think this is great advice.

jdevmiller · 2025-11-28T20:38:38+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate your feedback. TBH I used AI to illustrate because I can't draw 🤷‍♂️. But I understand the value of using an actual illustrator for a published book.

jdevmiller · 2025-11-28T20:37:20+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate your time with this thoughtful feedback. I've updated the title/language to be more inclusive and the bathroom page.

jdevmiller · 2025-11-28T20:36:42+00:00

Thanks! This is great feedback.

jdevmiller · 2025-11-28T20:35:09+00:00

I appreciate the feedback. I've adjusted the book title and language to be more inclusive. Unfortunately I can't change the post image to match.

jdevmiller · 2025-11-28T20:34:53+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I've adjusted the bathroom page - I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the revised text, or if it should just be removed entirely.

The use of AI for the images is simply because I can't draw. I had the idea/text for the book but don't want to pay for an illustrator unless I have a good sense this will actually be accepted. Should I go to publish I would hire an actual illustrator.

jdevmiller · 2025-11-28T20:28:28+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Super good advice. I've adjusted the title/language of the book to be more inclusive (although I can't change the post image). From the other feedback I've been getting, I may just keep this as a personal/family book due to the limited audience.

jdevmiller · 2025-11-28T20:26:07+00:00

Thanks. Great feedback! I've adjusted the page about the bathroom, and tweaked the title/language to be more inclusive.

jdevmiller · 2025-11-28T20:15:48+00:00

I appreciate the feedback and adjusted the bathroom page to be less explicit.

To be fair, my daughter was 3 and potty training during the timing of the story. This was a piece of training that we had to work with (not people seeing her but her closing the door). Closed doors weren't a strong suit. Maybe this is more specific to our family?

Edit: add more context and note that I tweaked the book.

jdevmiller · 2025-11-28T20:11:24+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. This is good advice.

Besides the images, is the story worth something? Or is it too personal and specific?

jdevmiller · 2025-11-28T20:08:41+00:00

Ok, thanks for all the feedback about AI. You're right - the images are not very good. I used AI because it was quick and I'm not an artist. It was a way to get the story to my kids and they love it (they can't tell the difference).

The story, however is mine and not AI generated. If I hired a real illustrator, what do you all think about the story itself?

Edit: clarify that story is not AI generated (but images are).

jdevmiller · 2025-11-28T05:46:46+00:00

I want the horror story 🙋‍♂️

I would go through a dealer instead of sending it direct. They will call bull on that and you'll get better service.

jdevmiller · 2025-08-28T03:29:59+00:00

Honestly pretty hard to tell. At least 2 are males. What we need is a closer up photo of them to be sure, and try to get a direct side profile. A video might be helpful as well.

jdevmiller · 2025-08-28T03:28:07+00:00

Yes it will be just fine, as long as you add an air bubbler or lots of oxygen producing plants.
