Let’s rephrase this to apply to other safety features.
New air bag? Compare a crash against a car without airbags
New helmet? Have kids wreck and compare to kids without a helmet.
New car seat? Compare wrecks to kids who aren’t in any car seat.

Does anyone know how to request books on Libby if your Libby library is not your local library. (Libby library is a state library, not the community library.)

The hardest part about borrowing books on my TBR list is that I don’t reread the summary and then don’t know what to expect 🙃

Who knows where to get boxed invitations for a child’s birthday that’s not Target or Amazon or any other company that supports the current administration?

Thrilling! I had so many theories and none of them were what actually happened.

I couldn’t put it down, but I also wish I had had the chance to read it before I became a parent.

Is it possible to sign in capital letters? Because I think our son did that to me on the way home from Costco.

Someday I will remember to share all my books here, but the previous weeks have not been those weeks. 🤷‍♀️

I am equal parts paying attention & horrified while also actively dissociating & then feeling guilty for finding joy while checked out.

It’s fine.

Does anyone know of a place where I can try on & rent, or buy at a consignment shop, a formal dress for an almost 40 year old in the greater Boston or southern NH area?

Posting this for absolutely no reason:

1. Plan B has a shelf life of 4 years.

2. Costco sells Plan B for less than $7.

Sharing this information right now is the right thing to do.

Does anyone know of something like this that is NOT Christmas themed? Our son loves it, but we’re slowly putting away Christmas decorations. (Everything on the tree is Velcro for those who aren’t familiar)
