@EliMcCann We aren’t doctors but every time we watched I would jokingly say “I bet it’s sarcoidosis”. That was always their guess & was wrong. Until the one episode it wasn’t lol
@notcapnamerica I’m an elementary school librarian…. I can ALWAYS tell which of my students has been consistently read to. it’s also a struggle to get through a simple picture book bc of a lack of ability to focus. Don’t get me started on reading stamina for those able to read a chapter book.
A 2025 survey by Nielsen and HarperCollins found that only 41% of children aged 0–4 are read to frequently, down from 64% in 2012.
Additionally, only 40% of parents with children aged 0–13 reported that reading aloud is enjoyable for them.
@MrsPete23 I thank them personally, and although I try do handwritten notes, this winter break i sent emails to simply acknowledge the gift. At the end of the school year I’ll mail. Curiously, when I was a parent giving the gifts, I didn’t care! 😂.
My youngest made gift boxes 🎁 for all of her teachers. She made the bracelets and she purchased the gift cards with her own money. She didn’t receive any thank you notes. Do you think they are an outdated gesture? #teachertwitter
The Mets and Giants will be playing at the same time Sunday night. New York sports fans of a certain vintage might appreciate the parallel, although it certainly won't top Oct. 27, 1986.
@BucksCountyPark why was the loop at #PeaceValley closed today, 7/19/24? Ranger stopped walkers/bikers at the nature center without explanation (or politeness). Some people did get through since I saw them when I had to double back 3.5 miles. No signs, nothing. Very disappointed.
@tscutty@rat_liker Love tripping over those unattended chikdren while I carry my beer.🙄. And before the OP chimes back in, yeah , yeah, your toddler was being given sips of your beer while you held them. Sadly many kids run amok in breweries bc of the vibe.🙄
last night i was drinking a non-alcoholic beer and the baby wanted to try it so i let her and she loved it and kept going back for more which would normally be fine but we were at a brewery so the optics were kinda like, not great
@MommyIsAPerson@tscutty@rat_liker And I avoid those at all costs… wonder if any breweries have chimed in on this thread? A local brewery near us actually has signs up saying “please control your children and dogs. “
My husband is the most free hearted person I know. He’s going to buy the best when he buys you something. But baby it be the smallest fees that sends him.
Me sending him to the deli for a bagel:
Him seeing strawberry cream cheese is .75 more: “GAH DAMN”
I just… 😭
