I’ve taken a new position in a different bargaining unit, but the union for my previous position still deducted money from my first paycheck. Who do I talk to to move things over? I sort of assumed it would be automatic.
my kid is having a nerf battle bday party at the park and i’d like to have a not-lame, not-complicated craft on-hand for kids who don’t want to participate. Any success stories?
My almost 7 yo is in a big lock phase and really, really wants to learn how to pick locks. He claims he’d only pick his own locks, but…
Does anyone have ideas for a satisfying, more legal alternative? His bday is coming up and he’s really pushing for lock-picking books. Maybe get him a book but not equipment?
Why can’t adults just do adult things and leave children the tiny universe of things they can enjoy? Why is it impossible for a school-age child to find a six-dollar pack of Pokemon cards, a game that’s been out since I was a child? I discovered the store-long Friday morning Pokémon target line by accident and it was 100% adults. Why is our city‘s art scavenger hunt dominated by roving packs of adults? Why is Disneyland suddenly an adult activity for people with DINK budgets? Why is my dog-afraid kid forced to wait for the person letting her off-leash dog finish on the human playground before jumping on the swings?
Vent over. I just don’t get it: when I was a young adult we had bar trivia and niche concerts and a whole set of activities we couldn‘t participate in as kids. Why do kids now have to fight with adults to do kid stuff?
