It’s been a hoot watching my kids, 18 months apart, get so good and so bad at entirely different life skills. Together they’re one completely competent person (and one utterly incompetent one).

Someone in my household yelled up at me to see if the furniture on the upstairs deck was getting wet and my response was just hysterical laughter.

But also like, know your kid. I have one kid I’d have trusted with a Fry Baby fairly early and one kid I would not to this day.

I was routinely making dinner a couple nights a week by the age of 10. I figured out how to use the Fry Baby the summer I was 11.

It’s not going to get me to go to the fair, but it’s the closest any of these food purveyors have gotten to successfully doing so.

also the article explicitly mentions recipe creation as a use case which makes his example nonsensical. RTFA before sailing in with your valuable contribution

People are always like “Patti, why don’t you like going outside” and “death by moose” is definitely on the list.

Absolute yikes. I am honestly on borrowed time at this point having never hit a deer, and I rarely drive further north where the moose live.

The 20yo crossed paths with a baby moose last summer that TOWERED over her Honda Fit, and she just stopped the car and exercised patience, because that was the mooselet’s road as far as she was concerned.

Everything for old people is still aimed at Boomers (at best, the largely already-dead Greatest Generation at worst) and as a Person Of A Certain Age I join your protest. I want the Jem and the Holograms suite at my retirement village!

oh god it’s the worst. What I learned is that the one thing Google tells you that’s actually useful is that lemon juice in your water helps—the citric acid binds to calcium to help move it through your system. Any other tips beyond straight hydration are bogus.

The Mark Lanegan version seems straightforward at first but is absolutely haunting. I just think that song might be cursed.

I mean, if you have a little factory and you need a part for a machine, you go to your friendly neighborhood tool and die shop to have them make it for you—you’re not their boss, you’re entering into a mutually beneficial business transaction.

They’re not cheap but they’re very good and it’s nice to feel like you’re having a fancy little princess treat. I really love their little tarts as well.

After years of trial and error we have landed on Kowalskis for birthday treats on years that we don’t bake at home, or when a birthday sneaks up on us somehow. I like to get a couple of their smallest cakes rather than one big one, so we can have choices.

The great thing about salads (of the non lettuce sort) is that they’re best if you do any boiling early when it’s not as hot and then let them rest in the fridge. It’s ingenious!

I want to make this so bad but the 21yo is at home this summer and hates tomatoes. I did see a similar version with smacked cucumbers though and she might go for that.

At the homes of child free friends I might suggest they move valuables for their own peace of mind but like, keeping the kids out of the dog dish was my problem (and the dog’s).

In this scenario (local grandma who wants to be super involved) I’m on the parents side. But I didn’t make my mom do any of that bc she lived two states away when my kids were babies and we visited like, once a year. I just made sure they didn’t eat any cigarette butts on the porch.

I did once get a bounce house but it was because I wanted to try it myself and felt like my back yard was the least embarrassing place to do so.
