Thank you posting such an in depth and interesting explanation!

Isn’t that already true? Internet is available for free at the library. The discouragement part is that you have to pay for it at home or on your phone
This is a wild take. There is value in privacy. There is value in quiet! There is value in space. Electricity efficiency isn’t the only important thing!
So my ball was the ball from toy story on a round wooden kitchen table. Probably the table from my childhood home. So the ball is yellow with a blue stripe and a big red star. It has shading and a shadow. I switched it out for a golf ball, but that didn’t seem right, so back to the bouncy ball from toy story, bigger than a baseball, smaller than a kickball. Because it’s the ball from toy story, the young man pushing it is toy story animation style. I tried switching him out for a regular human, but it just seemed wrong so I couldn’t. He goes with the ball.
I think the appropriate accountability here would be to for those administrators to have to enroll their children in public school. If they think that’s a problem it’s up to them to make the schools better. The administrators obviously think public school students don’t need extra access to culture or expensive things, they’re doing just fine.
Libraries also have movies and games!
Also a lot of libraries have other stuff you can check out! Tools, sewing machine, printer, photo scanner etc!
We scanned hundreds of old photos in minutes with the thousand dollar value equipment at our library totally for free! It was really cool! Ours has all kinds of equipment for converting old media to digital.
Plus these huge satellite maps of our city from the past, it’s like a 3.5’x3ft book of aerial photos. Idk what you’d need that for, but it was fun to look through them!
Yeah, I’m 30 and I feel like I’ve never had the experience of being able to rely on a name brand consistently. Everything seems to fall apart. Sometimes you get something great, but when it comes time to replace it and you buy the exact same thing from the exact same company it comes at a much lower quality
Yeah, people definitely don’t understand that you can cut so much and bargain hunt the whole thing and still spend 15-20k. That’s a"cheap" wedding. The average in my area is 33k. That’s not because people are just spending frivolously and don’t budget, that’s because every single aspect of a wedding is expensive. Hell, tipping out the bar staff and photographer alone is expensive.
Skip it if you want, but even as a very frugal person, I’m very happy we had a huge party with lots of food and an open bar. It’s worth it to spend money on life rites. Life rites are like half the point of being human!
If you don’t care about celebrating with friends and family, don’t spend the money, but for us sharing the day with the people we love and merging our families was important.
I think it’s funny you used cheeseits as your example because that’s one of the few things I won’t buy generic of because they’re just different. Little cookies, crackers, chips, and chocolates are usually brand specific in taste (though don’t assume you prefer the name brand, you may prefer the generic!) so they’re not fungible. I’d rather skip the calories than have generic cheeseits or Doritos.
Patch testing likely wouldn’t have made a difference, this is about extended use that probably broke down her skin’s barrier over time.
When I had a baby and then got COVID, I started washing my hands more often, and really too often. Using the same gentle non scented antibacterial soap I had been for years, I turned my hands into a dry cracked and bleeding mess, and when I used the same gentle non scented oatmeal moisturizer I have used for years, I ended up with insane burning on the backs of my hands, and a bright red burn/rash. This was all in about a week.
I stopped using hot water to wash, and only used soap on my palms/fingers. I waited for my skin to repair itself. Now I continue to use that same soap and lotion with no problem. It was never the products that were the problem, it was over use.
The true answer is a bit embarrassing, but it’s because my husband does our grocery shopping and he is bad with money. He will buy too much stuff because it’s a “good deal” which just ends up costing more overall. I love him so much, and he has so many good qualities, but he’s a real sucker for “deals” and that’s all Costco is.
I’m using Costco pods and they are the best I’ve used. I don’t pre rinse, I use it on old dishes. My dishes come out nice and clean. My sister cancelled her membership and now I have to find a new dishwasher pod dealer.
You could always just assume they shoved something to the edge of the counter and it finally fell in. Besides, if it were important, they’d get up to investigate
I just say it in my head to myself. It has had a near 100% success rate for the past year. I don’t understand it, yet it works!
Yes! I don’t want my pillows falling off the sides, I don’t want my phone to fall off the edge, I don’t want my blanket slipping over the edge. Right now I create the little lip with a rolled up t shirt on the edge so I can put my phone down and roll over and in the morning it’ll still be on my bed
Yeah, I’m half surprised there isn’t “under consume” on the list and they stop letting people in who don’t spend enough money
Or just keep adding lamps. My bathrooms have lamps now instead of overhead lights. My Livingroom has 4 lamps. Someone please send help.
Did you not read my post? No one stole anything I’m just not naive enough to think I can recognize if someone is struggling with a pill addiction. It’s very easy to keep those under wraps.
