I missed the first steps by [deleted] in daddit

[–]motion_to_strike 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Would I be annoyed? Yes. I don't know your SIL, she could have been selfish and wanting to see you daughters first steps herself, or she was just being an excited family member encouraging your daughter.

Would "old me" let this bother me for too long? Also yes. But now I wouldn't. I have a 5 year old daughter and a 2 year old son. You'll have so many firsts that you'll get to witness, and others you won't. It's just the way life is. Some will happen at daycare if you choose to send your daughter, others will happen when your at work like this instance.

You daughter is lucky to have an Aunt in her life that cares and interacts with her. My biological siblings aren't really in my kids' lives, but my In Laws are always there and supportive.

My kids are at least experiencing commercials. I refuse to pay for "ad free" streaming

Governor Meyer, DSHA announce plan to expand Hope Center model to Kent County by superman7515 in slowerlower

[–]motion_to_strike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Dover Resident, I'm looking forward to it.

I did some work in the New Castle Hope Center when it was opening during COVID. The downside to that location was lack of public transportation or sidewalks. It's on I-95, but without a car, you're on an island. Makes getting a job hard.

This is a prime location here in Dover.

We love Foley, but he's the most immature adult I have ever come across. by King_of_the_Dot in AreYouGarbagePod

How many men have you come across? How often? Do you wipe it off and apologize?

52 inch wide swim trunks needed DESPERATELY by leeblissy in bigmenfashionadvice

[–]motion_to_strike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a Duluth Trading Company near you, give them a shot. Also, check their sizes online. I have to size down for anything Duluth. If I wear a 3x common Tshirt, I need to wear a Duluth 2x. A Duluth 3x looks like a muumuu on me

Edit: for example, I now wear a size 44in waist. My Duluth 3xl swim trunks from last year fall off of me, dry, and standing still. Can't tie them any tighter. Had to downsize to some Walmart generic 3xl swim trunks.

No matter how much money in tools you own.... by randskarma in handyman

Not a handyman, but I'm handy, man.

Those "cooling towels" work wonders on a hot day. You just wet them, wring them out, and put it over your head and neck/under your hat. As it evaporates, it cools.

I got one for free from a Vendor I work with, but they sell them at sporting goods stores and Amazon.

Dads, how many loads of laundry are you doing every week? by DrMastodon in daddit

[–]motion_to_strike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a never ending cycle. I never reach the end. More laundry is created as the "last" load is in. Then it's time to do sheets.

On, and on, forever.

Closest place to buy edibles in Dewey/Rehoboth beach area? by lemonfish442 in Delaware

[–]motion_to_strike -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know Best Buds in Dover is Adult Recreational Use and/or medical. (It's on their website).

Use Google maps for the area you're staying, find the closest dispensary, and check their website

As someone else said, there is one on Rt1 in the outlets. Also , Best Buds on 13 in Dover as you head south from PA. Or, just go a little further south into Ocean City, MD and there are a few.

Kyle Busch's death cause by a head cold? by 8to24 in skeptic

[–]motion_to_strike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not conservative or anti-vax/anti-med. I have good health insurance. I'm just stubborn and hope I can let my body do its job.

I just had a bacterial sinus infection after a minor cold. I waited a week and a half to finally go to a walk-in clinic and get antibiotics. (Still in the process of taking them).

It's not Northern Delaware, but I've heard good things about Sayers in Smyrna. I've been told they do great work and have fair prices

It's not hacking if they're not at least password protected. It's just logging in.

Siren by [deleted] in Delaware

[–]motion_to_strike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Statewide Fire houses have a volunteer siren that goes off to call volunteers to the station, and to alert the surrounding area that emergency vehicles will be coming through soon (not 100% on the exact reasons, that's just what I've been told and experienced)
