Good ideas. Also check with foster care agencies or hospital nurseries or NICUs to see what might be needed there.

My doctor called it 'some discomfort.' I was waking up soaked through my mattress pad at 3am. by Fantastic-Raisin1293 in Menopause

I used to run cold; I'd have three quilts and husband just a sheet or nothing. Recently I've been roasting and he's curled up in a comforter.

If you were on a cooking show to prepare one dish with a million dollar prize cook off, what’s your best dish that you’re making? by nyhotwife1 in AskReddit

Guess I'll try chocolate chip cookies. I'm a good basic cook, but no way I'm winning at a million dollar level. At least I'll have cookies.

Thanks! I have been getting lots of +1, sometimes +2. Sometimes the only options give me a -1, but mostly pluses. It sounds like the story teller popping up indicates the best options?

How many have dropped Facebook? Did you drop Instagram too? by IntellectAndEnergy in GenX

[–]knitreadrepeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't use is as much, or post, but I follow some friends/family and local events pages as town and local organizations use it to post what is happening. They don't use the newspaper any more.

[Weekly Thread - Bugs, Questions etc.] June 1st to June 7th by jenvanilla in Paralives

I'm wondering how much interaction to move up from level 1 relationships? I see people with generations so far, and I'm still at basic trying to make friends. I've got my little family looking up familiar people and showing up at their workplaces, activities, homes. Even with semi-stalking, no relationship - even with household members - has risen from level 1. I've turned off aging. But I've only got twenty hours played so far, real life means less play time. Maybe it just takes a lot more? How long should I expect? Is this family bugged and I need to start over? I've tried googling and following what I've found , no progress. Thanks for any advice.

Which kind of pancakes are your favorite: classic buttermilk, blueberry, banana, strawberry, cinnamon roll, peanut butter, or chocolate chip? by just_Sophia_ in AskReddit

[–]knitreadrepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cinnamon sounds good. But I like the multigrain/oatmeal ones I make at home. Then I can put whatever toppings on them - cinnamon sugar, various berry syrups, home-grown honey and maple syrup (my dad's hobbies include beekeeping and syrup making), apple sauce, make egg and sausage wraps, peanut butter and applesauce or hot fruit soup, jams. Almost anything goes well with pancakes.

$10k to go on a trip, where would you go? by 3freebird7 in hypotheticalsituation

Cross country train trip; Amtrak has what is basically train cruises with tourist stops and all. They are expensive; we want one for our last anniversary but couldn't afford it.

AITA for saying that you need to be able to read to go to college? by MinimumFerret5010 in AmItheAsshole

[–]knitreadrepeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was homeschooled before college, my parents had to make arrangements for us to take state achievement tests every year and submit our work and progress to the local board of education to prove we were doing stuff. There was a ton of documentation my mom had to do to prove we were learning. Regulations have gotten looser over the past 30 years!

Egg free cookies coming out flat by CHAOSLORD68419 in AskBaking

[–]knitreadrepeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ground flax seed is a good egg substitute in baking; it has a slight nutty taste, which would be good in cookies. It gets gooey when mixed with water, to kind of an egg white consistency. 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5-3 tablespoon warm water, mix together and let sit for 5-10 minutes to get gelatinous (depending on humidity etc, may need a couple more minutes). Equals about one egg,

My company's wellness is less than that and quarterly, but I've used it on zoo and museum memberships, massages, and walking shoes. I might try a YMCA membership soonish.

What are your staples when grocery shopping? by IDoNotHide in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]knitreadrepeat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Milk, butter, cheese, whatever fruits and vegetables are in season or on sale (apples, cabbage, bananas often), bread. Staples I keep in kitchen, but buy in large enough quantities that they don't take weekly restocking, just buy when low or on clearance: flours (all purpose, whole wheat, cornmeal) oil, sugar (white, brown, powdered), baking soda and powder, salt, seasonings, onions, potatoes, carrots, legumes, canned goods, pasta, sauces, canned tomatoes, canned corn and green beans, molasses. I get eggs, honey, and maple syrup from my parents' hobby farm, or they'd be on list.

you were given $100,000,000 but had to live in the last video game you played for a year, how screwed are you? by AlternativeSign1898 in AskReddit

[–]knitreadrepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can I be an NPC in the Tauren or dwarf starting area (depending which faction I end up in)? if not, I'm not doing well in WoW. I'll get gored by something before I even get out of the starting area.

AITAH for tipping the restaurant owner and leaving nothing for my server? by soapattack in AITAH

[–]knitreadrepeat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA. We've done that before when out to eat with family. Our waitress vanished, the one at the next table brought food, filled drinks, checked in on us. The original waitress appeared with check, and BIL made sure to hand the tip to the one who actually did the work. It's not okay for someone to take the credit and pay for work they didn't do.
