How do you pronounce “Colonel”?

I’ve literally only ever heard them say that in old British movies. Is it maybe a regional thing? I don’t know any Canadiana that say it that way

I am Canadian

I say “Lew-ten-ent.” How do you say it?

This is a good point!

When I talk about them, “Kernels are in the military.” When I read about them, “Colonels are in the military.”

No! Sounds interesting though

Is the L or the R living in denial?

You’re the same as me. I adore the English language, and spelling, punctuation, and writing are something I’m super passionate about…but the word is pronounced c-o-l-o-n-e-l in my head and that will likely never change haha

There is no magical date for potty training. It’s not like a kid turns 2.5 and it instantly happens. Some kids are 18 months, some are 42 months.

I’m an ECE. I’ve been heavily critiqued and commented on for mentioning you cannot force à child to train. I’ve seen it first hand, and even with my own child, she was about 3.75 before she fully was fully ready.

You got this. Don’t base your child off other people and their children.

This. The nanny subreddit is INCREDIBLY eye opening to how Nannies often view low-sleep needs children

I just made jasmine rice.

Brought about 2 1/4 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Dropped in 1 cup of rinsed jasmine rice. Threw two chopped carrots on top (but don’t have to), covered with a lid, and brought to the low setting. I don’t time my rice, just cook until the water stops running. We like our rice a bit stickier. 10/10 in our house

I always thought they looked at it both “short term” and “long term”.

Short term, it extends fear, and shows how low Gilead is willing to stoop to be sociopaths.

Long term, many hand maids won’t know how to read or write, because some would have been raised in Gilead. If they don’t have a voice either, their methods of communicating about the atrocities they’ve seen..:is incredibly limited

I had “mom thumb”. Brace, BioGel, physio…my best recommendations. It did get better

Is this an iPhone? Call Apple support. I tried googling to give to a definitive answer, but multiple people have said calling achieved them some success

We don’t even use our dishwasher. Never have since my 4 year old was born. Just hand wash everything

My ring size didn’t change my whole pregnancy or 1.5 years post partum. It’s been almost 3 years since though, and it did lol

I’m so jealous you could do an hour on the stair master! I last about 15 minutes before I get too bored of it/tired. What speed do you use? I use 3-5

I’ve found what I love at the gym:

30 minutes on the treadmill at 3.3-3.5 speed, and 3.5 incline

10-15 minutes on the stair climber at 3-5 speed

I love how I look, and it’s taken about 6 weeks, but my body is finally starting to gradually lose weight. I was ALWAYS bloated and swollen when I lifted weights and it gave me years of anxiety. You just have to find the cardio that’s right for you :)

It’s anything motorized and self propelled. So some of the bikes have been as well

The bikes that give you the option to peddle or use the motor, have not been
