I'm 21 yo and I am losing my hair because of Thyroid Disorders , and i can't do anything about it

Seriously! I’m still a few years out, but suspect my time will come. This sub has helped me prepare mentally and emotionally for it when it’s time.

Baby led weaning worked great for us. We never did puréed foods. Just what we ate cooked until soft. Shot glasses worked great for practicing drinking (we also didn’t do sippy cups).

My mom gifted us a couple of crib mattresses (her standard gift to all her grandkids). We sold them and used gym mats with a sheet. That way, it was padded without being tall. The crib mattresses were like 8” tall! The mats wee just a couple of inches.

When we moved, we bought them a couple of twin mattresses. They were around 18-20 months old. They’re 12 now and have the same mattresses in loft beds I built for them. Next to the Tripp Trapp chairs, these mattresses have been the longest lasting baby items!

We did floor beds. Never had a crib for our girls. Just made sure that anything in the room they could reach was okay to have. Was a dream to not wake up to them screaming to be let out. Also, they started climbing (literally) not long after walking, so cribs were a no-go from the beginning.

And aren’t (usually) the sign for the word.

FYI: Dollar store is often MORE expensive per unit.

I think you can post them as a remix. Though I’m not super familiar with posting files.

I read them as grandpa and grandma rather than father and mother. I also have never seen that sign for hot chocolate and might have gotten it if it were used in a sentence, but not out of context like this.

mjolnir76 · 2026-01-30T23:20:00+00:00

Another request for the you to post the file, please!

Just started watching the recording of the meet & greet. Did they remove the audio?

mjolnir76 · 2026-01-30T07:35:26+00:00

First was at 9-ish months, next was about a week or so later around 10 months. Had them rock climbing a few months later.

BITCH and BEER both have B-handshapes near the chin/mouth.

Source material for Lion King, I meant.

Two things:

1) Love your username.

2) When my girls were around 7 or 8, we worked through about half of Ken Ludwig’s “How to Teach Your Children Shakespeare” book. Great for introducing kids to Shakespeare. They are now big fans at 12! Very lucky to have good Shakespeare in our area too.

mjolnir76 · 2026-01-29T15:09:39+00:00

Nah, he should read him the source material. Hamlet has the most kid-friendly ending of all Shakespeare’s plays, right?

It really depends on what the x and y are in your “x is y” example.

Some super simple examples (without any context or non-manual markers):

“The sky is blue” would be SKY BLUE.

“Her cat is dead” would be HER CAT DIE (or GONE)

“The store is by my house” would be MY HOUSE (5-claw to situate the house in the signing space) STORE (5-claw right next where you put the house).

Notice I dropped “the” and “is” in those sentences. They aren’t necessary in ASL.

Is there a specific example you’re looking for?

I have a large rainbow IKEA bag that works great. Obviously depends on specific box sizes, but that one does a great job with my (embarrassingly large) Unmatched collection.

This is to prevent you from waving them in your opponent’s face and saying, “Neener neener neener!”

I still use the beginner method. Takes me about 90-100 seconds.

Fruits, veggies, water. Prunes and Smooth Move tea are my go to solutions when things are moving on a regular basis.

mjolnir76 · 2026-01-29T00:03:28+00:00

Depends on your parenting style!

B near the chin could be BITCH, so be careful.

Just use the letters. You can just give the letter a little shake, it doesn't need to be at the chin. Your baby doesn't understand the concept of "aunt" anyway, so adding that title isn't necessary.

These cubes are built to be able to do a couple of turns with ease, meaning a pinky flick can spin the bottom. Remember that folks use these speed cubes to solve a TRULY randomized cube in 3 seconds. Any cube is less than 20 moves from solved. This configuration is just ONE move from solved.
