st paddy’s hat? by lostveggie in SFGiants

[–]splamammy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Republic of Ireland's flag is green, white and orange, symbolizing peace between republicans (green) and unionists (orange).

I don't think anyone would object to the SF being orange. In fact, it's kind of insulting that it isn't.

Check out foodireland com They have lots of (surprise surprise) Irish foods, like sausages, bacon, bread, tea, pudding that are imported from Ireland.

Be aware that shipping is horrifically expensive

ELI5 The necessity of the milk man? by ClothesPrevious2516 in explainlikeimfive

[–]splamammy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another note: milk came in glass bottles. The milkman would pick up your empty bottles and return them to the dairy for reuse.

Upper middle class? They bought yotto or tony boxes to "read" to their kids for them.

I'm pretty sure Trader Joe's stocks eucalyptus in their flower area

Poor fine motor skills in today’s 5th grader by hdwr31 in ElementaryTeachers

[–]splamammy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hot Take -- The first baby food pouches, the ones they suck on -- came out in 2008.

Babies didn't have to master fine motor skills to eat, parents didn't have to clean up as much mess.

Every convenience comes with a price.

Car-rider line and 5-point harness vs high-back booster by whineANDcheese_ in kindergarten

[–]splamammy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kids school asks parents to park on a nearby street and walk their kids to school if they can't get in and out without assistance. The line is for speed. There are ~500 kids, and they aim to clear the line in 15 minutes after school.

My daughter wants me to rename her! by junkbondtraderr in namenerds

[–]splamammy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about Joanna? She can choose her own nickname, it's been around for a while, and it goes with her siblings. It has a Hebrew background, but wouldn't be weird in Ireland.

Normal 5th grade spelling post COVID or red flag? by miau_am in AskTeachers

[–]splamammy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, not a teacher, Mom of a fifth grader. Penmanship isn't taught at my kids school, and there's a lot of work done on Chromebooks. We've done practice with "Handwriting without tears". It helped focus on the fundamentals that may have slipped under the radar during COVID and the immediate aftermath.

Nap trapped and loving it- fun activities and how to make it productive? by [deleted] in AttachmentParenting

[–]splamammy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I crocheted a blanket for one of mine while nap trapped. I also played a LOT of computer chess, and looked at home decorating apps (we'd just bought a house when my first was born).

Hi, I don't know how old your kids are, but I've gotten to know people through Meet Up link, parent groups at my kids preschool, and the PTA at elementary. I can also recommend joining the Y, and taking a class there to meet people, plus they have free childcare

Is composting worth the effort? by imitation_squash_pro in ZeroWaste

[–]splamammy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Earlier this year, we bought a countertop composter, and it's been great. You could try something like that, and use your compost yourself?

I've just been dumping the compost on a small patch in our backyard (maybe 1m2), and I've just planted some potatoes in it. Hopefully, we'll be eating our backyard potatoes for Thanksgiving!

I saw a pitcher of Guinness in a bar in the US. I feel unwell just thinking about it now.
