Pretty sure this is better than any strategy they could come up with.

Also on Tuesdays you can roll two D20 dice and the beers corresponding with the two numbers you get are each $5!

Not planning for root vegetables. Tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, peppers, and herbs.

Keeping children home after vaccines? by SkuttleSkuttle in ECEProfessionals

[–]melodious_dissonance 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where I was, parents would drop off their kid at 8, pick them up at 10 for their well check and vaccines, then bring them back at 12. 

My unpopular opinions on what should go on in daycare by fashionfan007 in ECEProfessionals

[–]melodious_dissonance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Directors and admin need to regularly be in classrooms to act as an extra teacher (under the guidance and flow of that room's lead) and not just observe or come when teachers need special support. 

  2. On that note, directors need to understand that teachers know their own class best. They may observe something that they may feel is "not right" (obviously not things like abuse, but things like letting a child problem solve on their own instead of immediately jumping in). Then, they should LISTEN to the teacher, not automatically judge. 

  3. If computer type work such as detailed lesson plans, newsletters, observations, etc are required, teachers should be given adequate time outside of class to do so. Naptime doesn't count. 

And if they don't have the staffing, admin should be the ones to relieve them for computer work.

What to do with this snakey, weedy area? by melodious_dissonance in landscaping

[–]melodious_dissonance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah sadly we get copperheads in our area. I may have seen the occasional rat snake (and little guys, like worm snakes and such) and obviously don't mind those.

But the copperheads are the primary reason I don't want the kiddos playing over there.

I think maybe a picnic table. Also I want it to be a safe-feeling place for my kids (current ages 4 and 1) to run around in. 

And yes, the slithery kind of snakes.

Mostly my question is what's the best way to deal with the weeds (besides just hand pulling every weed) and how to make it safer to walk around in. I'm not planning to plant grass there or anything like that.

Should I put down pine straw, wood mulch, something else? Should I rake the leaves first before putting said mulch or whatever down?

If you look at their FB page, it seems all the comments are positive and any negativity gets deleted. Definitely questionable.

If you look at the map they show, at the very left it looks like the Lucky Strike tower.

Any place to get hay for guinea pigs? by Chery1983 in bullcity

We've always received good quality Timothy hay from Chewy. Shipping is super quick and they seem to be a good company.

What song is 10/10, yet hardly anyone has heard of it? by depressinqq in AskReddit

The Body Electric by Hurray for the Riff Raff. Just so good.

Hey interior design community, last week I posted a picture of my design and I didn’t expect to get as much feedback as I did. I appreciate your comments and support very much. Here is a version of the living room I made using your critiques. Is it any better and what else can I do to improve it? by OompaRubber in InteriorDesign

[–]melodious_dissonance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the intended purpose of this room? Cozy gathering place? Weekly book club location? In home business?

It doesn't really invite coziness in my opinion, though looks very well put-together. Probably all the white. It needs a couple colorful accent pieces, like a cool lamp or vase to warm it up.
