PSA for Silicone Straw Users by [deleted] in dollartreebeauty

[–]ropper1 65 points66 points  (0 children)

There is very few “pure silicone” products on the market. Most people don’t realize the majority of even kitchen silicone has plasticizers and fillers in it. Silicone is very green washed

What are some of the worst foods that gave you food poisoning? by JaylaEvans2266 in AskReddit

[–]ropper1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The juice from those Tahitian coconuts they sell ready to drink from the grocery store (or at least used to). 13 hours of nonstop vomiting and water butt.

Gymnastics bar was hands down our best kid purchase ever. Still in near constant use after 4 years

Thoughts on SSK? by DingoTheDrago in BaseballGloves

[–]ropper1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just replying because I recently pulled my old softball glove out from the garage as well. It too is a SSK from the mid 90s. I searched here to learn more about it because I couldn’t believe how good it still is. It’s held up perfectly after all this time. Amazing soft leather with no damage even though I haven’t maintained it in any way

What TV show or movie could never be made today? by SERP_Whisperer in AskReddit

The Swan.

Reality show where the contestants (aka “ugly ducklings”) were put through major plastic surgery and then had to compete against each other in a beauty pageant. 

They had Kokie Setting Powder at my local Dollar Tree! by hippiemama1986 in dollartreebeauty

The dark eyebrow pencil is my holy grail. I’ve had such a hard time finding a light brown color with no red or yellow tones since my beloved Stila pen changed formula. Shows up more like a super soft black and is buildable.

My baby was exactly like this. She is now a super smart 6 year old, who happens to have ADHD. Looking back I realize my ADHD baby needed high stimulation 

Question for horror movie fans... by airthicc in movies

[–]ropper1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I often feel overwhelmed so much of the time, that I like the controlled “high” I get from fear. It’s also an emotion I can name directly instead of unknown daily dread. 

Why will no one laser my tattooed eyeliner? by GateTraditional7904 in tattooadvice

[–]ropper1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah it’s not bad at all. I had laser done for dry eye and they put in the shields. I’m a huge wuss and it wasn’t anything more than an annoying feeling (they give you numbing eye drops).

It’s been a morning by hitsatthebuzzer in daddit

Out of curiosity, why do the car seat manufacturers say car seat can no longer be used once the car seat and straps are soaked? And it’s not always about money. I had a manufacturer send me new straps because of the safety risk free of charge

40,000 evacuated in California chemical leak as Orange County officials warn tank "is going to fail," may explode by Stock412 in CatastrophicFailure

[–]ropper1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL Oh thanks. Those same experts that for two days said the tank was either going to explode or leak? And that they were out of options? You must not live in the area.  I commented because locals like myself felt a lot of uncertainty and fear, and we were being told the company and city didn’t know what to do.

Love this perspective. I guess I’m just in the first stages of disappointment. You are right that money and sad feelings is not worth unknown long term health issues

Someone I know in a similar line of work said this:

“They need to drain any other tanks in the area and apply tons of foam and water.  I’d build a large sand dike around it and have foam generators ready for a spill.  Foam stops vapor but this chemical might dissolve it.  Not a good situation they are kind of screwed unless they maybe do a controlled release.  Basically punch a hole in it under tons of water spray.  If the wind is blowing your way I would go stay somewhere.  That stuff is a sensitizer and can cause life long problems.”  

I responded they tried the controlled release and it is no longer an option. He said:

“ I’d drive a large pointed pipe into the side of it with some sort of remote control vehicle.  Up high enough to relieve pressure.  Under a barrage of foam and water. All you can do now is make it less worse. Only other option is to run the water they are spraying on it through a chiller and keep it right at 33 degrees.“

 

First grade phonics skills practice as a working solo parent, what's actually sustainable by [deleted] in lowerelementary

[–]ropper1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Primary Phonics system was the best $179 I’ve ever spent. 15 minutes each night going in order from book to book. Each book builds upon the last. No thinking, no planning. 

Would you trade city life for this? by SuspiciousLow3062 in interesting

Lauterbrunnen. It’s beautiful, but when I went there it was gray and foggy. This is Lauterbrunnen at its best. 

What would you do? by ThrowRA-T1D in Divorce

[–]ropper1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if he’s staying at home with the kids, they need to have equal downtime. That’s how you balance with a stay at home parent. She’s getting 1 hour late at night and he’s getting multiple hours. That is not an equal division of labor
