I know I won’t be able to use the 6 inch “depth” but will I be able to use the third set of prongs to make the design longer? Everything I’m reading says it can’t be used, but not why. But if I can separate my design into three segments I don’t see why not?

My 7 year old daughter talking to my 5 year old in the grocery store: “did you know mom isn’t even paying for any of this stuff? Daddy is the one who makes all the money for it, mommy just spends it all the time and doesn’t ever do anything.” She certainly didn’t hear that from my husband because he’s my biggest hype girl. He works 12-14 hour days sometimes 7 days a week and we’re both very happy to have the income to support me being a SAHM. The only thing I can think of is maybe shes resenting how much he’s gone.
The only conversations we’ve had with her about money is that credit cards are not free money, we have to pay it all back at the end of the month and that’s why we can’t use it to buy every toy, snack and clothing item she wants.

EDIT: the mystery is solved. Long story long, I bought iPod nanos last fall and put new batteries in them for her and her 5 year old sister, at the time they were sharing a room so I only bought one charger (remember the 30 pin cable?) this spring they switched to their own rooms and the 7 year old took the cable with her. When the 5 year old needed to charge her iPod she’d have to go in the 7 year olds room and then remember to get it back after charging before the toddler got ahold of it. On the way to the store today the 5 year old told me she wished she had her own charger to keep in her room so I ordered another on Amazon.
7 year old was mad that I bought the cable without making 5 year old earn it. “I don’t work to make the money” but I can spend it when I want, but sometimes they have to earn things that they want and it’s not fair.
7 year old said “oh, I didn’t think about that” when I reminded her that she didn’t have to earn the original charger, or the iPod either, for that matter.

After about 3 months on metoprolol I finally connected the dots to the med causing extreme sweating about an hour after taking it. I messaged my pcp and she sent a script for propranolol and said “unfortunately it will have to be taken twice a day” but I didn’t get a chance to ask about any withdrawal symptoms from stopping the first med, or what to expect on starting the second med.

Every video and guide has turned into a repeat.
“Must have: basic white tee, great pair of jeans, chambray button up” everything is denim, black, white or tan color, etc. it’s the same 20-25 pieces of clothing, and while I do agree that it is important to have a strong base, what did you add to make the capsule “you”?

I started off with microsphere 0.025% gel, then tried 0.025 regular gel, and then 0.025 cream.
I tried all the routine recs (sandwich method, slugging, bare skin, washing off after 5 minutes and building up, etc.) and spent probably close to $1,000 on various products. I’d think it was working, and then would destroy my skin barrier and have to stop for several weeks and start over again.
While going through my skincare to throw out expired stuff I found a tiny tin of Nivea cream and saw that it listed face as an application option. That night I washed my face, waited 15ish minutes, applied the tret cream, waited 5 minutes and then applied Nivea. It feels greasy disgusting and I WISH it was unscented, but my face was absolutely glowing the next day. I did 2 nights with tret and then 1 night break (using LRP toleraine moisturizer that night) for a week, was able to go up to 3 nights on and 1 off, and I’m now up to 4 nights on 1 off but don’t want to push it because (drumroll) I’ve been using vit c serum every morning after rinsing with water and my face isn’t peely or tight/stinging!
I’ve had awful acne my whole life and finally got it under control after accutane but would still get small breakouts if my skin didn’t like something, but I haven’t broken out once with the Nivea cram.
I just wanted to share in case it helps someone else.

We finally found the magic med for my daughter, we refilled for the first time last week, went to pick it up a few days later when they said it would be ready but it was out of stock so we have to wait 4 days for them to order more. I went today to pick it up and their distributor can’t get any and the surrounding pharmacies are also out of stock so our pharmacy can’t send the script somewhere else for us.
Luckily her ADHD isn’t severe (inattentive and disruptive but not that big of a problem during summer break) but if we’re going to have to wait for months or if this is going to be a recurring issue we might be better off looking for another med that works.

I have space for 2-3 more trees in my orchard (currently have apples, pears, peaches and plums). I’m struggling between getting a self fertile variety like Stella so I don’t have to worry if one tree doesn’t make it, or getting something like bing and rainier varieties which ripen about a month apart and have different flavor profiles.
I haven’t had any of these cherries so can’t pick based on personal preference.
Which would/did you pick and why?

I know they’re just trying to relieve pressure or show that they’re chill or whatever, but when I tell my child not to do something clearly obnoxious, I don’t want another adult saying it’s okay 😅

Long story still probably long:
We bought a house that had 2 apple trees and 2 peach trees planted along the driveway. After the first year of living here the teenager that was helping my husband mow backed the truck and trailer completely over one of the apple trees and snapped it in half. My husband told me we should probably plant another there so it stays semetrical, I agreed and suggested going to our local tractor supply to see what they had. He says “no, I know a guy, I’ll see what he has.”
So I come home from work one evening and we now have:
6 apple trees
2 plum trees
4 pear trees
6 peach trees
And two cherry trees that died before the first winter.

Now what I need help with. Four years later and we have not touched a thing aside from mulching around them to make mowing easier. They’re all in desperate need of pruning. The fruit on the apples and peaches that are producing are bug eaten and misshapen, the leaves on some trees are curled and has red rusty looking spots. I don’t know anything about when or what to spray. And the raccoons have decided our yard is paradise (dispatched 36 in about 6 week span).
Judge us if you must, we had two babies, a new college degree and my husband working up to 16 hour days during that timespan.
Where do I start to fix it?

Typical story, we’re in the checkout with a transgender cashier and after watching them for several minutes my 5 year old leans over to my husband and asks “is that a boy or a girl?”
Not looking for spiteful remarks.
Just how you respond.

I’ve never lived on my own. I went from my parents, to my husbands, now back to my parents 15 years and 2 kids later.
I’ve never been responsible for paying bills, luckily I got a degree “for fun” and would literally work 1 day a month or less to feel like I was really doing something. But my job was to maintain the house and care for the kids (he never did a thing for either, his sole job was to make money). I’m now in my 30’s and capable of making money, but I have no idea how much I need to make so I don’t sink.
Obviously house payment/rent, car and insurance, utilities, phone bill, groceries. But I need a more detailed list so I can price check in my area to see what I realistically should expect.

She’s 5 for reference.
It’s taking an hour+ to do simple chores that only take 2-3 minutes. We’re currently on 48 minutes of cleaning up the living room (put 3 pillows back on the couch and return toys to her room or the toy box in the living room) she’s done 7 sumersaults, made the toddler cry 4 times by trying to take a book from her that was picked out for bedtime, peed 2-3 times and is now rolling around on the rug. 2 pillows are still on the floor and there’s like 3 toys that need put away.

I need cream cheese for both cooking and for eating fresh (like on a bagel).
And looking for more cookie options. Possibly a soft chewy kind.

I’ve did EVERYTHING (sign out and back in, restart everything, reset network settings, click my email under the iMessages setting and sign out then back in, 1.5 hours on the phone with Verizon to reset eSIM, and the Apple “enable Apple account to activate iMessages” thing) nothing has worked. I’ve reached the end of the 24 hours waiting period for the last one mentioned but still haven’t heard back from Apple.
Are there any other fixes I’m missing here?

My daughter is 7 for reference.
Typical little league ball game with siblings playing at the playground near the field. My daughter brought a paper plane and set it on the ground while she was swinging. A boy (around 7-8) ran over and grabbed it, ripped it up and then crumpled it in a ball. Then yanked the shoes off my daughter’s feet while she was trying to stop the swing and threw them in the nasty trash barrel. She was screaming like a banshee and my husband jumped up and ran over to her. He brought her back to our chairs where she told me what happened while bawling. She sat with us for a while and after she calmed down she asked if she could go play again. I said yes and not 30 seconds after she walked back over to the swings I look over at her and a boy has his fist pulled back about to punch her in the face while she has her arms up guarding herself and lunging away.
I went running over asking who his parents are but he wouldn’t tell me. I had my finger pointing and told him “don’t you EVER raise your fist to another person.” He said “I wasn’t ACTUALLY going to hit her, I was just playing.” I got my daughter and we both returned to the game.
After I calmed down I asked her if they were really playing or if he was really trying to hit her. She said “he was playing, but they play by hitting each other (this includes the boy from the beginning of my post) and he was scaring me.”
I now feel like I over reacted, but also not a single parent aside from me and my husband were even watching our kids. Or maybe I could have handled it better? But how?
Aside from letting her return after the first incident. Obviously a bad decision on my part.
