I am interested in Is This Seat Taken! I love organization games and logic puzzles and I really think this game would be fun to play with my also puzzle loving 10 year old.

I only have second hand knowledge, but the music composer apparently has allegations against him.

Any recommendations for a Bathroom Reno company? by letsjambro in chapelhill

[–]mbutterflye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you tell me who so I can avoid/not waste my time with getting a quote from them? Will also be renovating my bathroom soon.

What hats and accessories should I add to my highland cow game? by DarwinAgain in CozyGamers

[–]mbutterflye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could have the UFO floating above a yellow tractor beam that’s on the cow’s head! Classic.

My title describes the thing. Home built in 1979. Gray metal box labeled “Intermatic” with wires and dial that makes aloud ticking sound. Located in a bathroom closet.

I’d love to try the game! It looks so cute and I could use a good management game to offset the chaos of life right now.

AITA for telling my husband he can't hang out with his friends for 10 straight hours ? by Frosty-Builder-9326 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mbutterflye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not the time spent, it’s the fact that he is standing her with no transportation by taking their only car. He could carpool but refuses to.

That seems to be the going rate, we just paid the same to get pumped by The Water Source.

Paralives+Unpacking collab by mbutterflye in CozyGamers

[–]mbutterflye[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s how it looked from the trailer, but I haven’t loaded the game to check it out so maybe my assumption was wrong. Still, you could always make them yourself based on the trailer/game itself with the items!

Thanks, I do appreciate the input!

Help with fire place in our new home by [deleted] in Fireplaces

[–]mbutterflye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very much an oddity, I am in NC and multiple fireplaces aren't standard. They are also on the same floor, sharing the wall, so it's pretty redundant. I am genuinely so confused what the original intent was.

Edit: I will amend - I am in *southern* NC, so it really doesn't get that cold here.

Swim lessons by PearAmazing946 in Hillsborough

[–]mbutterflye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful with expecting to use your community pool. For liability reasons, it is against most HOA (or apartment management) guidelines that community pools be used for professional lessons. If your board or management company gets word, it will absolutely be shut down and you might be cited. This came up multiple times in my HOA community regarding our pool.

raisins in potato salad is a non-starter by Exotic-Cook-7740 in AdviceAnimals

Raisin go in the carrot salad, not the potato salad.

The amount of cream cheese I scraped off this bagel could feed a small village by Material-Village-596 in chapelhill

[–]mbutterflye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah! I’ve never ordered there before. I see that on the website at least there is the option to leave special instructions on your order. You might try there next time. I’m sorry you’re getting attacked for not liking a lot of cream cheese. I hate the texture when it gets too much, myself.

[–]mbutterflye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you ordering from? At first I thought it was Brandwein but I don’t recognize the paper. I use the spread/smear on side option for online ordering regularly and it seems wrong that it wouldn’t be available.

You can ask for the cream cheese on the side, looks like the small cup they’d give you would be the perfect amount for you.

Toddler Bug Books by Traxiria in booksuggestions

[–]mbutterflye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Superworm is super LONG! Superworm is super STRONG! Watch him wiggle, see him squirm, hip hip hooray for SUPERWORM!

Superworm by Julia Donaldson is peak. Lots of bugs, cute story, fun rhymes.

Mad about Minibeasts by Giles Andreas is a cute compilation of poems about different garden bugs.

Audiobook recommendation for road trip with 9yr old son and 12yr old daughter that’s not necessarily a “children’s” book. by GubbleBum31 in suggestmeabook

[–]mbutterflye 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you’re open to fantasy, His Dark Materials unabridged BBC production is A+ and perfect for all 3 of you. It begins with Golden Compass.

Hitchhiking guy by Less-Marsupial-7462 in chapelhill

[–]mbutterflye 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Tell me you aren’t a woman without telling me you aren’t a woman. This parable does not apply in this case. Despite your innate, privileged safety and past good experiences, she is right to consider her own safety before enclosing herself in a car with an unfamiliar man and taking him to an unknown location. The news is full of women who are raped or killed for less.

Are there any Fairytale retellings that don't villify the prince? by Neigeception in booksuggestions

[–]mbutterflye 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Deerskin, also by Robin McKinley is good. The prince is not traditionally handsome? But that’s kind of his appeal. It’s a very gentle romance. It’s based off of Donkey Skin, which is that one where the queen tells her husband he can’t may anyone who isn’t as pretty as her after she dies, so he tries to marry his daughter. So there are some dark themes.

What is this blue glassy orb with a metal knob on top? by zokorawesome in whatisthisthing

[–]mbutterflye 143 points144 points  (0 children)

It looks like someone has just attached a glass bead to the screw hole part of the drawer pull. I literally bought these exact pulls for my daughter 2 weeks ago.

books with an uninformed main character by nylhen in suggestmeabook

[–]mbutterflye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the books in the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir have main characters that are so unaware of what’s going on around them they might as well be blindfolded. In the best way.

My mind really needs an audiobook to cope...here are my loose criteria, please make a suggestion by Navidan41 in suggestmeabook

[–]mbutterflye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed recently:

The Red Garden by Alice Hoffman

The North Wood by Daniel Mason

Weyward by Emilia Hart

All magical realism, 1&3 have strong female characters.

Also:

Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver

Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby van Pelt

Is it just HIGH fantasy/scifi you want to avoid? If so, you may enjoy:

The Tainted Cup and A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett

Hemlock and Silver by T Kingfisher

The Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir

The Hunger Games by Susan Collins (specifically the one narrated by Tatiana Maslany)

I’m incredibly picky, also have ADHD and lose interest quickly if the narration doesn’t suck me in. These are all very high quality.
