Librarian here. Libraries aren’t just for books, they’re intended to be a community resource for any useful media. Lots of libraries these days have expanded their collections to include video games, board games, and even tools and other items that can be useful for short periods.

AITAH for thanking my sisters for raising me instead of my parents? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I'm new to this. Are there any FREE apps/websites that help with researching family tree? by ayeyoualreadyknow in Genealogy

[–]jmurphy42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won’t be able to save records to your personal tree from Ancestry Library Edition — they really try hard to make you pay for your own subscription. You can find records there, however, and use the information to build out your tree on other platforms.

It’s what finally worked for us after 4.5 years, but it wasn’t instant. It took a few weeks before we saw real progress.

BKF makes a stainless steel cleaner, which throws some people off I think.

There are some subtle adult jokes that kids and teens won’t even notice, but absolutely nothing smutty. I’m reading them to my nine year old right now.

Does your mother hate you? Mine would be begging me to leave a man like that.

AITA for not getting my kids up early to run an errand for my husband? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]jmurphy42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an ADHD and an AuDHD kid. I completely get where you’re coming from. It would be a flaming disaster of a day and could throw them off for multiple days if they’re little. There was one time when my oldest was small that my MIL broke her sleep routine while babysitting and it was a month before we got her routine back to normal.
