@MelbaofNM@LucastaHonoria@mattleeanderson I could not imagine every single report being investigated. It would be impossible. But one county might call something a screen in while another calls it a screen out using the same guidelines.
@MelbaofNM@LucastaHonoria@mattleeanderson MN is the same way, fwiw. We call it intake.
We use a state run county administered system that is weird (state sets what screens in, but each county applies it, which does open up to more bias/less consistency) that MI and NM don’t do.
@luinalaska My kid is still a toddler, but I realized a few weeks ago when we bought him a used climber on Marketplace how fun it is to spend my money on fun things for him.
@lovinglyprolife Edible favors! We did lifesaver mints with stickers with our names on them (stickers from Etsy). And we did fans at the church since there was no AC and it was July.
@cecsquared When I do a meal prep, I buy peeled garlic and use a garlic press. It’s a happy medium when Aldi doesn’t do me dirty and send me moldy produce.
@FiredUpCoug I would buy this so fast. lol.
But I also own other books for my child such as “the abcs of biology” (where D is for drosophila melanogaster and I lose it laughing every time I read it to him) and “baby loves congress” so I could be a niche audience lol.
@TheCatholicEngr Also if they really, really want to know, they can just google your name and find it anyway! (It is terrifying I laugh so I don’t cry).

@cecsquared@Zo_bo_fo_sho The lil cans of pineapple juice are great imo.
Also, I started just getting one liquor at a time, learning to use it, then getting another. Get the small bottles of schnapps if you’re using them for something.
@Dawn_N_W I remember feeling very lonely from when I got married to when I had kids. It always feels like stuff for women is targeted to discernment or moms—rarely to people not in one of those camps.
@LucastaHonoria Not there now, but can you go to Wolfgang’s in Grand Rapids for me and eat their tiramisu pancakes if they still have them? I dream about those.
