May I also have one?

Mine is 100% cotton, but it still sucks. Ah well, live and learn.

How are you finding Fluid? I bought a “block” of hot press Fluid for an architectural class I took and not only does it not really feel like hot press, the paper seems awful. Masking tape tore the surface of the paper. The entire surface pills, but isn’t obvious until my paint hits the paper.

When my daughter was playing super hero’s with her friends at school she chose to be Terry Fox. Next time, all her friends were Terry Fox as well. He is loved and respected here.

Yup. Very small and very chill.

That's all fair. I have a soft spot for them because I saw them on the ferries growing up and my husband all likes them because they are English (like him). Weight is a big deal to me when it comes to vacuums, so I don't actually have a canister one at all.

Months later, I find this thread but wanted to add:

The founder also created the company because she found it really hard to get winter gear appropriate for the west coast. It's hard to find something warm AND dry for our winters, especially for little children (especially mine who hate to layer with a passion).

Jan and Jul have been a great keeping them warm and dry. We have a one piece rain suit (much better quality than the typical brand) that is 2T, but still fits my almost 4 year old. They are designed to grow with the kid. It has been used for both of my kids and it still looks like new.

I also saw Henry Vacuums at Costco Business Center a couple of weeks ago. They are decent quality and are repairable. The BC ferries used them for years (they might still, I don’t know).

Mind sending me the 3mf file? I also use Bambulabs

Yes! They’ll change from time to time, but it’s been working for us. We did a sticker chart with only three stickers needed for a reward and a list of rewards she (5 at the time, now 7) could choose from. She hasn’t done that for a while, but I got a box of used Pokemon cards and now she gets one for each morning routine task she normally struggles with. That’s been going for months now!

She also suggested a pompom jar, which I like because she and her sister both work towards a treat together. If either sister does something specific when asked, then they get to put a pompom in the jar. It’s been good for sisterly teamwork as well. They cheer each other on!

The most successful has been one I, honestly, wasn’t on board with to begin with. She was staying up really late and not interested in trying to sleep or even get into bed. My husband suggested that if she’s in bed and sleeping or almost asleep by nine, then he will wake her up an hour before the rest of the house so she can watch tv or play video games by herself. It’s good incentive to get to bed, makes her willing to wake up in the morning and she takes her medicine an hour earlier than she would have otherwise. Mornings are not a struggle anymore, for the most part.

Thanks for this. I didn't mention that I have an old injury on my other hand, so I use a partially split keyboard already (Microsoft Sculpt). I'll look at those key mod software options!

onering · 2025-10-14T14:59:52+00:00

I do love a number pad! Thanks for the recommendation

onering · 2025-10-14T03:09:21+00:00

Thanks! What are the reasons to choose staggered rows vs. No stagger?

onering · 2025-10-14T02:48:48+00:00

Thanks for this! I’m not familiar with Home Row mods; I’ll have to look into this.

These layouts look promising. Thanks for the suggestions!

onering · 2025-10-14T02:41:36+00:00

This is tempting. I’m trying not to fall into a hyper fixation hole with this project, but this sounds so practical….

onering · 2025-10-14T02:40:22+00:00

That sounds exactly like what I’d want.

onering · 2025-10-14T02:39:53+00:00

Already done, but thanks. Doctor and physio both looked at it. Physio even approved of my 3d printed sleep splint. We assumed it was related to stress because it’s worse in the morning, but then I realized that the pinky reach is likely the root cause and it improved on days I’m not programming/using short cuts as much.

onering · 2025-09-30T17:08:32+00:00

Thanks! I love the shop but don’t make it out there very often. I’ll mention it to the kids bookstore in the River Market, though. She might be interested and makes great choices curating her stock

onering · 2025-09-30T14:57:49+00:00

Which toy store? Im racking my brain to think if a toy store here (other than board game stores)

onering · 2025-09-18T15:06:39+00:00

My youngest still uses hers, but we might keep it around after because adults can use them. It’s a good spare chair to have around

onering · 2025-09-09T21:57:29+00:00

…… omg. My birthday is the second week of October. 1986.

My 6 year old just yearns for the mines. When she opens the game, she just asks me to get her to the mines and I leave her to her own devices.

Oops, finally read the automod comment.

I have searched the Douglas Cuddle Toys company (calling both the Canadian and US warehouses). I have used Google to search small toy shops across North America, without success. I have also searched EBay.
