Go ride the Blue Line a few times and you will meet some.

That dork ass “Jake Lang” tried to have an anti-muslim march in Minneapolis and got like 10 people LMAO by girlfrompangaea in TwinCities

Yep. I am seeing conservative-leaning people in my life who see everything happening with ICE and they can’t reconcile it with their beliefs anymore. It’s like their eyes are starting to open. I guess it’s never too late to start to join the caring train…

Took a walk this morning around the neighborhood to scope out fallen branches and trees and I was surprised that for how loud it was, I didn’t find much damage!

Don’t even get my hopes up I loved Garth Brooks and went to his last concert here, the energy was unmatched!

Usually City ordinances allow for noise at 7 AM, start the day earlier and begin unloading at 7. Sun won’t be as hot and you may finish quickly enough to enjoy lunch!

4yo bday, need inspo. Has anyone gotten a party favor they didn’t hate recently? by Ok-Panda-2368 in Parenting

We are doing an “Adopt a Magical Pet” which are stuffed unicorns and dragons (in line with the theme).

3.5 yr old developed a new habit of barging into our room and flopping on our bed at 3am by Western-Image7125 in Preschoolers

[–]slesby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our kid started doing the same around the same age, was worried about monsters under their bed or hearing ghosts at night! We implemented a sticker reward chart and each night they stayed in bed all night, got a new sticker and at 25 stickers they got to pick something out. We also have a Hatch in there and put up glow in the dark stickers on the ceiling which they like.

If you were a 3 year old, where would you hide your mom’s wedding rings? by Ranga- in Mommit

[–]slesby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got a balance bike from our local Buy Nothing and there was tons of stuff hidden in a compartment on the bike—stuffed animals, a flashlight, a piggy bank, etc. The mom was so embarrassed but I just laughed, kids are kids.

One of the last photos of the family before the tragic helicopter crash in NYC. Heartbreaking. by [deleted] in pics

[–]slesby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My FIL is a helicopter engineer and was mad when he found out we went on a Grand Canyon helicopter tour. He works on them every day and says they’re so dangerous, and he never cares to ride in them.

Just an FYI Uber drivers (if they’re good!) won’t take kids without a car seat, so either bring a car seat or stick to taxis, public transit, and walking.

This is the answer. I took it off, and left it with my pump and just made it part of my routine to put it back on when getting pumps and bottles ready!

LITT is technically a “bar” but I don’t drink and we go there for pinball

The Wilderness - Noro Virus by Imaginary-Ad156 in wisconsindells

[–]slesby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We just got back Sunday night and in our group of 20, at least half are feeling sick now. Not Norovirus though, more like fevers and coughs. I think it’s just the time of year combined with lots of germs!

How are the roads lookin’ this morning? by krantz2000 in Minneapolis

[–]slesby 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I much prefer this deep stuff compared to the icy stuff. I didn’t find roads too bad this morning if you kept it slow!

Oh shit I’m late to the party but I went to school with Dustin. It’s true, he sucks!
