I was asked today what I was going to do with the 12 old bottle teats I'd been saving from my son's milk bottles... I'm not sure any answer would have been satisfactory but the truth is I want to make a weird Halloween costume.
They stayed... for now
That's really sweet! What a great interest to have!
I'm a new father and my son is only 5 months old.
I know its not a competition and children especially this young aren't on a strict timeline, but I'm proud of his milestones that he's hitting and also proud of ourselves as parents for doing what we are with him. I feel like he's getting a good foundation (though, honestly, I am feeling a lack of motivation and a tad down at the moment for mental reasons and am trying my best to make sure that doesn't impact him).
So far he's pretty much hit milestones to the day. He's started rolling over, smiling, laughing, staying sat up (with a little help) and he's fast approaching solid foods and rather enjoys eyeing up whatever we're having. He likes baths and showers, he's quite happy playing on his own and will smile at anyone.
I have heard from my SO that other parents that she's met haven't put as much time into tummy time and so they aren't quite as able (of course no bad reflection on the parents - we all have busy and tiring lives).
On the other hand, he's started screeching like a pterodactyl which is only doing my head in a little bit. I have been trying my best to encourage blowing raspberries which are wholly easier to manage albeit with a significant increase in dribble quantity. He's also been battling bad reflux which has been a bit stressful so it's not all smiles and screeches, but largely its going well.
It's so annoying. They've stopped even putting the "You can't sort rubbish right" signs on the bins. Not that our neighbors would give a flying bacon packet.
I did speak to one guy who said something like "Oh, yeah, we should do something about that like hire a skip or something.. Some of it is ours though" Yeah, it's got your name and address on it. It would be awfully terrible if someone were to be fined for fly tipping now wouldn't it.
I have 2 bins, but only because the council took away the wrong one and have taken nearly 2 months to do ~~anything~~ nothing about it
We are supposed to have a black for general, a blue for plastic/packaging recycling, a black box for card and paper and a teenie baby brown bin for food waste. Our neighbors were fly tipping outside our property and their bins were full to the brim with incorrect waste so we reported it. They said they would remove the offending bins and we should leave ours apart from theres so there is "no confusion".
There was confusion. I have called them what feels like a billion times.
And now my shed is full of almost 6 weeks of recycling as I can't get to the tip as my wife gave birth and now I'm back at work.
edit: I'm still pissed off so added more info to vent
I stayed at a premier inn during lockdown and boiled my eggs in the kettle cause the kitchen wasn't open. I made a whole meal actually. Only disappointment was there was no trouser press to make a toasted sandwich
I've engaged here more than I ever did on Reddit
Searx NG worked well for me. I currently have Matrix running on another, set up with the ansible docker repo. Actually trying to set lemmy up on another.
I converted to pay as you go so they would open up the smtp ports so I could use postmoogle with Matrix but i still only use the always free shapes and still havent incurred a charge in roughly 6 months
That is nuts! Nice tip!
I've been using the nextcloud RSS reader for a while now. Not the most feature rich, but it does the job for me.
I think it's great resource for deepening your home made campaigns, but cheapens publish material. I'd use it in my campaigns but if I ever wanted to throw it on Kickstarter I wouldn't feel comfortable without original work by Organic Intelligence.
certbot certonly --manual is what I need though I think cloudflare or something else is making it only resolve to https. I'm going to shelf this for now and come back to it later. Thanks for your help
I started on 20, went to 40 and I've been here ever since. I get a bit of a lull at about 6pm, but it's not so bad.
During the shortages a while ago I managed to get prescribed some 50 and it was just a bit too much. I like a coffee or 2 in the morning and 40 works well with that for me. Any higher and it would buzz a bit.
I have the occasional break, usually when I forget to get my repeat. generally 3 days of aching and complete lack of concentration, then when I take it again I'll have a very very productive and late night.
