Take your kid to work day was a ton of fun. Little babe (2) loved the coloring station and bouncing on the inflatable balls the most. She also took a short break to catch up on her book about Clinical Infectious Diseases. A+ work day.

Here’s a new example of “Americans will measure in anything but metric.”
This is on my Missouri Department of Conservation calendar: Plant corn when white oak leaves are the size of a squirrel’s ear.
Our toddler is a total rear-facing-backseat-driver. On our morning commute, we were stuck in heavy traffic. She can clearly see trucks out her window, so from the backseat she started saying “move please truck, move please truck!”
Gosh, I really wish that worked as easily as she thought it would. ❤️
Our little babe (2) started saying “ope!” today… correctly. Ope.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @douglasvb@m.ai6yr.org the lights and maze of it all can certainly increase anxiety which can lead to testing relationships
Our daughter was a handful today. However, she very clearly said “I love you” at bedtime for the first time so my heart is melting all over again. ❤️❤️❤️

I randomly had a thought about never eating salmon as a kid growing up in New England. It’s all haddock, cod, lobstah, chowdah, and clams there (YUM!).
I texted my Mom to confirm my suspicions, and yep, I never ate it growing up. Now I’m wondering when I first had it, because I’ve been eating it for years at this point and it’s one of my favorites.
A house in our neighborhood has a revolving door of potential buyers. No one stays more than 10 minutes.
Yesterday, someone left the house tour DURING a tornado warning. Like that’s how uninterested they were 🤯
Both kiddos are asleep before 8 on a Saturday 🙌 This never happens during the week anymore.
Today I learned that our toddler likes when I sing 80s love songs to her “More, more!” 💕
I’m finalizing our appliance research as we’re nearing our kitchen build. I wish there was a filter for non-WiFi enabled appliances so I don’t see that nonsense.

@User47@vmst.io I liked the part that I overheard:
Teen: “Wow, that’s smart. I see what you’re doing.” 🥰
Checking in for a medical appointment next week. One question is for any trips outside the STATE. 🤯

@mlanger@mastodon.world Yes! That’s what I’m worried about too. Some of these say you don’t NEED to connect it, but in a year or two? Probably somehow bricked if you don’t.
Target needs some editors. And some punctuation.
“Convinient”
Home renovations are not for the weak (I’m the weak).
Good news! We have no plans this weekend.
Bad news! Kiddo has a stomach bug.
Good news! We have no plans this weekend. Good timing I guess.
@Fabis_flying_fotos@avgeek.social THANK YOU for finding this. I’ve been searching for a while thinking it was a fever dream that they FT’d since I couldn’t find the picture anywhere.
The new Starbucks toasted coconut latte tastes like the smell of a candle that was just blown out. Normally I like that smell, but I do not like to drink it. 🫠 better than sunscreen though…

@douglasvb@m.ai6yr.org they used to sell it in cans or bottles but I haven’t been able to find it in years.

@JimHindsKC@mastodon.social I found an option on NFM for “smart appliance: No” but I think it is mischaracterizing some of the options.
I think, unfortunately, this is where AI has been helpful. Ask it to search a specific store for non-connected appliances 🫠
I would totally go with a SpeedQueen next time we need to buy a set. I also love our Miele but it’s too small for bedding.
