Full surrender, and some sherbet.
Todayto Ask Lemmy•What are some things for a new home owner to consider getting early on?4·7 days ago100% on the water sensors! Gas sensor and carbon monoxide sensor too! I have a gas stove and people are always leaning against it and turning the gas knobs on.
Every new decade is my favorite, but the shoulder and knee issues suck.
Tips from an old person-
When they tell you that you need reading glasses, just go for the contacts.
Podiatrists are real and a $75 orthotic is worth it.
Adult children are awesome, mostly.
Sunscreen is important.

I’m giving you the secret to successful sleepovers- Hide the caffeine and turn the AC down as cold as it goes. Most will get into a sleeping bag to get warm and then fall asleep. The rest will (usually) give in.
Something funny - I searched Google for oklabaom and it shows this post. Google links Lemmy??
Great sketch! Does it look kinda like Hilary Clinton?
Teaching is really really hard right now. I’m seeing so many new teachers who are leaving positions a few weeks in. If you’re really determined that it’s what you want, check back in a month or try a different district. Every district around me has tons of openings. Also, if a district doesn’t want you because of that, it wouldn’t be a good place to work. It wouldn’t be supportive of you or your kids and seeing kids be treated that way would be more soul crushing than not getting the job. Keep looking for the right fit.
I don’t know your industry, but you probably know more than you think. In my job I learned so much in my first two years out if school.
When my kids were young they started calling cracker barrel “the honky bucket”. It just stuck as the name. I think they should add that to their logo.
Yes, but not the vid, like some of my co-workers! Just regular lurgy from working in a snot factory (school).
Todayto Casual Conversation@piefed.social•Cheerful Tuesday... what's something that's made you happy this week?6·14 days agoI inherited my mom’s house and we’ve spend the last 8 months renovating. Finally moved in (although it’s only half renovated) a couple of weeks ago and put our house on the market. We’ve had a lot of sad feelings about leaving the house where we raised our kids, leaving our neighbors, and moving into something smaller. Yesterday I took off work sick. It was my first time since moving to just be here - not working, not cleaning, not moving boxes, …-just to be here alone, nap, and look out the window. I was happy to be here and able to let go of a little sadness about leaving the other house.

Todayto Casual Conversation@piefed.social•in which way you buttoned your buttoned shirt if you wear one,, from bottom to top or top to bottom? why?2·14 days agoI read an article on funny differences awhile back Women tend to button top down. Men tend to button bottom up.
Women tend to face away from the shower water. Men tend to face into it.
Women tend to hold a stabbing knife with the blade towards the pinkie. Men tend to hold a stabbing knife with the blade towards the thumb.
I’ve switched to the boy way of knife holding.
When I’m on summer break I usually try to learn something- often unsuccessful due to poor follow through, but I’ve had fun with a ukulele, bongos, and a cajon. All of those have good video lessons on YouTube.
When she graduates, she will likely look towards others who are closer to her age. Heartbreak sucks. IMO, better to back off on the romance in this situation.
