Have they changed the flavor of cough syrup? Because all the ones I've had were delicious.

Reply to LPT: Odds are you won't be the first person in your circle of friends to lose a parent to old age, but when you hear of the first one to go, heed the warning and make sure you're maximizing the time with those you love, because it's likely the bulk of the time you'll have with them is behind you. by JD2005

Especially good tip if you are making grilled cheese.

The first 2 and last 2 slices of bread become French toast or croutons. I can't have many carbs, I'm not wasting the experience on subpar pieces for my sandwich!

I try that, but usually take a bread knife and cut the heel face off and place that on the inside.

I steam veggies, puree them, and put them in ice cube trays for the baby to eat.
When my first was a baby, I tried throwing in a couple of cubes into the tomato sauce. Carrots were the winner. Makes it a little sweeter, but absolutely not noticeable. Spinach and kale were good too, just looked like more basil and oregano than usual

Reply to LPT request - techniques for teaching a practical skill in a 1-1 setting, someone you don’t know. by quipp68
There is a book called “how we learn” by Benedict Carey. It should be mandatory reading for all high schoolers. Easy and great read. And will teach you how people learn best.

Ideally. Unfortunately , my meltdowns scare my partners and then they stop talking about problems and it’s hard for me to notice the absence of something

Is it something you would want to save though? Something that you have to figure out like a puzzle? I'm just thinking here and I'm not sure how I feel about it as it has also happened to me as well. But shouldn't it be up to the person to communicate what's wrong in the relationship instead of you having to read signs? I feel like I would be walking on eggshells for the rest of the relationship trying to "catch the signs"?

My kid would, and absolutely has, called me out on this.

They’re called “dad’s slices” in my house. Somehow they mysteriously only get used on sandwiches that are made for me to eat.

Reply to LPT: If you're struggling to focus and stay productive, try breaking your work into small, manageable tasks. Set specific, achievable goals for each task, and take breaks in between to avoid burnout. This can help you stay motivated and make progress without feeling overwhelmed by the big picture. by Samanreddit
And make sure the 'break' is a short refreshing break and not a distraction!

I’m so sorry for your loss. I bet she had a beautiful and very long life with you.
That’s your best friend… I still can’t look at pics of my old kitty boy without tearing up - but you’re right, most of my phone space is devoted to snuggling kitties, and it’s a good thing.

I think it would be pretty noticeable. The sandwich would have a different bread/contents ratio, or taste more “bready”. I probably would have noticed.
Did you know this from experience?

LPT: Be honest with your kids and teach them responsibility. Even if they don't like the end piece as much, they should learn that it's right to eat it anyway.

Reply to LPT Request: I got my dreamjob but I already want to switch carreers. by blambo126
No one knows what their ideal career is when they graduate high school, even though many of us are expected to graduate and invest a ton of $ on college.
A good supervisor makes a bigger difference than almost anything else.
Stay at your job, learn the ins and outs of everything that you can. You will find a niche that you enjoy and excel at. While it might not be what you were hired for, the opportunities to do that will likely start increasing. This typically leads to promotions and career changes that align more and more with what fulfills you.
