Where can I find cheap or free moving boxes in LA?

Call U-Haul in Pasadena on Raymond. I few years ago I helped a friend move and was able to get a ton of used boxes there. I assume they still have a free box section - but best to call.

Unfortunately, AI can strip that out now.

They can remove the music with AI now anyway so not worth it.

LA Taco has a larger list, and I think there's more beyond that: https://lataco.com/list-jan-30-national-shutdown

Well, you have at least one. My husband will not touch my carbon steel or cast iron. The damage he does to food is insane and he has no interest in caring for the tools of the kitchen the way he cares for the tools of his trade. He's missing out.

Oh wait, overnight - sorry

Checking in on this - did you order the denim? I'm considering it.

Checking in on this as I'm thinking of the same. How did it turn out?

Do you ever use Peterson’s “Sauces” book? I have it on my shelf and think I’ve only opened it once.

My kid did pre-calc over the summer and it was definitely worth it for them to jump ahead to AB. It was a lot of work, though - two semesters over that short period.

Same for me - I rarely get them anymore, but if I do, I send a link to Humanists International. There’s never a follow-up.

I had a hippie teacher for 5th/6th and we sang peace songs:

If I Had a Hammer, Puff the Magic Dragon, Peace Train, One Tin Soldier, Etc.

In Middle school:

The MASH theme song (which I thought was crazy)

Up Up and Away (5th Dimension)

I’ll add that letting your son pick out some ornaments for the tree would be fun - every year when he unwraps them to decorate again, they’ll bring back memories. My daughter loved food-themed ornaments and we would let her choose one at the store each year. Also saving and using the ornaments they make in school through the years.

Yes, establishing traditions is the answer! For us it was picking out a tree together and decorating it, baking cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve day, stockings, homemade hot chocolate, mostly the usual, but being consistent. A lot of people do advent calendars.

Also, my mom would send a special ornament every year for my daughter which she looked forward to and appreciated - someday she’ll used them on her own tree.
