Nice. Checked and enabled on my Pixel XL.

Co-signed.T is the real evil week article we need: how to tell relatives to knock it off with the excessive gift giving.

I have one of these I use daily for work. While not wasting paper is nice, it’s not the main benefit IMO. Rather, it’s being able to organize and save notes to the back burner (in the cloud,) and then wipe the slate clean for new notes. I’m done shuffling through desk piles of random paper scraps (or entire other…

If the baby isn’t gaining meaningful weight the first few weeks of their life, weighing diapers is the only way of ascertaining their input vs output. Baby weight was the only thing the nurses and doctors were drumming at me after a harrowing labor and several sleepless nights before sending us all home. To say it’s…

Loved looking through my grandma’s old phonebooks at her farmhouse—there were all sorts of interesting ads, vinyl cover, funny pictures.

Car (fleece) ponchos are really helpful when they’re about toddler age; the top can flip up to buckle into car seat and you don't have to worry about bulky coats interfering with the safety belt.

Getting error msg “The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase” when trying to purchase the PowerCore Fusion.  Any ideas?

Same. The fixation on Adora toward the end of the series really smoothed over the edges I felt about Amma at the start—Clarkson and the show creators were skilled at redirecting attention toward Adora.

Not to mention the lack of pockets on maternity clothes.  As if carrying around a growing human has relieved me of the obligations of carrying around keys, wallet and phone.

My husband once forgot to send a thank you card to his uncle for a cash gift and the uncle reamed him out about it for *years.* They are vociferous about *withholding* gifts if they feel they’ve been slighted in the thank you department. To say the least, receiving gifts from them is a stressful experience.

Those were some of my best memories growing up—tromping around a supper club/bar learning how to play pool with my cousins, drinking Shirley Temples, and scamming maraschino cherries from my relatives’ alcoholic drinks. Kids don’t need to be coddled. As long as they’re not witnessing out-of-control drunks it’s fine.

Depends. Wisconsin’s pubs and taverns are pretty family friendly—it’s just baked into the culture here. There’s a good chance you’ll see kids in pubs anywhere around the state, especially around supper.

That smaller pet hair attachment is totally worth the money...as is a ChomChom roller.

One of the reasons I thought Trump would never win: Bush. But I forgot how quickly people forget. The Bush backlash was real, but everyone forgot to remember.

What kind of person bans free speech and freedom to assemble in the name of defending the First Amendment? Who can possibly be that ignorant?

What kind of heathen dumps donation books at a library? FFS, there are Little Free Libraries for that.

When I was 10 or so, I got my ears pierced at a hair salon with a piercing gun. I kid you not, the gun got stuck in my ear mid-pierce and it SUUUUCKED. I’ve trusted tatted up folks with needles ever since.

My insurance gives me the option of working with an OB-GYN or CNMs for delivery. I have no idea what our bills will be (thanks complicated US healthcare.) We are considering a doula on top of it; luckily we’re flush with options where we live.

I don’t understand the love for this franchise. The Netflix series was good background, but that is all.
