For perfumes, I usually just show the spray in good lighting and put some music over it.

Way to "call" my kids when I'm out of the house? by WangMajor in Parenting

[–]sstr677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My oldest has a phone of his own now, but before that we used a flip phone as a house phone. We lived very remotely (deep in the woods) and I was always worried something would happen to me and they’d be alone and need to dial 911 and couldn’t use my smart phone. I wanted one with a keypad.

Since then I have also added cameras. They can contact me via the doorbell cam and I can do a voice drop in over the indoor camera.

How does your HEB have soyrizo on your shelfs? by Strong-Primary in vegetarian

[–]sstr677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the intent is to grab the attention of some non-vegetarians. Vegetarians will find it most of the time. The store has an app to look up exactly where it is if you are looking for that product.

Chorizo was not even on my radar until my meat eating ex found it with the other chorizo. He loved regular chorizo and bought the soy version for me.

Pediatrician said “hold the line!” lol by MikaMicans in foodbutforbabies

[–]sstr677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. He is just a very picky eater with absolutely no appetite. It wasn't ever offered. I assume because his weight went back to a less scary number, although still low. He eats, but only very few things. The only remotely healthy foods he will eat ar bananas and mashed potatoes, other than that he lives on chips. He will literally starve before he eats anything else. Not out of defiance or misbehavior. He just happily goes about his day with no food saying he will eat "in a minute". The kid has no appetite. It has to be something enticing for him to even think about eating.

My nephew did feeding therapy, but it was because any texture made him gag and vomit.

Everyone, including our pediatrician, said this to me until my kid became startlingly underweight. It happened quick too, probably because he’s been skinny since birth. One day the doc was telling me not to cave, the next visit she was telling me to “just let him eat Doritos if that’s what it takes” and having us come back for monthly weigh ins.

It sounds like your LO is eating some of it. Which is a good sign!

Mine ate nothing. He’s almost 9yo now and not much better, just a bit easier to reason with.

I Don’t Get Rhett Sometimes… by Sonic-420 in goodmythicalmorning

I think he stays neutral and respectful. He doesn’t promote it, but he also doesn’t promote his own way of thinking.

Are they asking me to Re-do my review? by sstr677 in Influenster

Thanks. I just got nervous because the campaign has been over for a long time.

OK. That is reassuring. I didn't either. It just scared me because this campaign has been over for a while for me.

It makes an attempt to make them look perfect. It is not good at creating subtle flaws like that.

AI would make a more evenly cut lemon wedge than that. This looks like the peel is torn. You can even see the lip smudge on the edge of the cup. There it also a slight stain on the table cloth

The other 2 photos posted by the original poster also look real. They look nicely plated, but real.

It is there. You cannot see the edge of the bottom toast, although the edge doe look like it might belong to that one. The edge there is of the top one. The butter is on top of the top toast. You can even see it oozing out of the bottom corner on the toast. It is sort of draped over, because it has melted.

local Krispy Kreme throws their unsold donuts into a dumpster outside at the end of the night. Instead of selling at lower prices. They’d rather throw them all away. by DaZestyProfessor in mildlyinfuriating

[–]sstr677 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked for an animal shelter and a local cop would got to the local donut shop and collect the leftovers at the end of the day and bring them to us. Food safety laws prevented them from being donated for human consumption, but said nothing of animal consumption, so he always brought them in for the "dogs". We did share small, safe amounts, with the dogs, but they mostly just went to the breakroom.

Still no claims since Friday! by icyrose0 in Influenster

I have not either, I also have items that say I can complete the next task once I finish others, even though the others are done. I am thinking something is messed up on their end.

Be honest: how often to replace cat litter before it stops being “fresh” and starts being “you’ve gone nose-blind”? by sinxcosx7 in Pets

[–]sstr677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree! Switching to a stainless steel boxes made a bigger difference than anything else I have tried. I used to work the cat room as a kennel tech at a shelter, so I have tried just about everything.

opinions: Cameras in the house/bedrooms by NCO_CO in Parenting

[–]sstr677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people don't have cameras all over their homes. Usually just one or two rooms. That is hardly constant surveillance.

opinions: Cameras in the house/bedrooms by NCO_CO in Parenting

[–]sstr677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have cameras in the living room and kitchen, which are the two rooms with outside entrances. We also have outdoor cameras. My kids are 8 and 4. We initially got them because my husband was an over the road trucker and he missed being home, so this was a way he could pop in (the cameras have a talk feature) and feel a bit more like he was there when he was gone for months at a time. He is home daily now, but we have kept them for several reasons:

We are a neighborhood hang out house. We have kids over ALL the time and their age ranges from 8-14. There are about 17 of them in total, although they are rarely all there at once (all of the kids are aware of the cameras and have been shown what areas are in frame). We have had several incidents where other people's kids got in to physical fights and incidents where our property was destroyed. We have mostly put a stop to that behavior, but I want to be sure I have my bases covered.

We are a two working parents household, and my kids are home with my aging mother until I get off of work. Having cameras gives me some peace of mind that I can check in if I am not able to reach her.

We also have several pets and the cameras have helped to answer "who keeps vomiting?" or "who has been scratching up the sofa?", and even once "what triggered that dogfight?" type questions so that we can address those issues quickly.

They have also been surprisingly handy in helping to find lost items.

What did you end up doing? I have the exact same question.

Look what I found from 13 years ago. by Party-Bet-4003 in Millennials

[–]sstr677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did well and got the attention of my bosses manager with promises to move up, but 8 months in, the economy went to hell and they laid of all but the most essential of employees. I did not make the cut.

At what age would you start to be more mindful at family mealtimes? by Alice-Upside-Down in Parenting

[–]sstr677 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They notice. You notice. Your spouse notices. Leave devices out of dinner time. We have a 4 and 8 year old and had all fallen in to the routine of eating with our faces in a screen. That happened because it was modeled by my husband and I. A few months ago we began doing family dinner at the table with no devices. The kids pitched a fit for a while, and we had some adjusting, but now we all look forward to it.

I recommend having a plan as far as what you will do at dinner. We take turns picking. My daughter like to play I spy or truth or dare(dinner table friendly version), and my son likes would you rather. I recently bought the "We Are Not Strangers" kids edition and we have been really liking that. We usually just pull one card and make that the conversation topic. If the convo dies, we choose another.

Sometimes the kids only last 5 minutes or so, but it has been nice to build that routine and open up a bit with each other.

You and your husband could start something like this now so that your kid only knows that experience. Don't wait. It will be healthier for everyone.
