It is beautiful but you can't rent it, it's by invitation only.

Remember - even if they deserve it, which they do, - You cannot legally booby trap things like this with dangerous/deadly force. It'll get you sued/jailed. If all your left with is non-dangerous things to startle or annoy remember that the waste of life stealing your things will get pissed and then take it out on your house. It's a no-win situation other than setting up cameras in a way to capture their face even if they try to keep out of screen view, and preferably the car they're in so you can turn it over to the police.
With BS like this, if your packages/mail continually get stolen, you just have to resort to paying for a post office box and having things delivered there.

There are lots of these for sale on etsy and amazon, right now the amazon ones are much higher in price than they were a few months ago, they fit small plants and are quite cute, and you can paint them if you wish to be more cartoon accurate.

Not quite the difference between the US and Australia's possums but still surprising.

That pink bumpy baby recliner/nap nanny - Recalled due to infant deaths!
The inflatable pool - soft suffocatable edges and if managed to climb up it - risk of falling injury!
That child should not be unsupervised with a blanket (gray or the pink one on the bottom of the pool).
The boppy should not be near them when there is a risk they could fall asleep on it - their warnings go into more details.

The small window is just odd. Pre-modification it would be out of place, and post-modification (if it was intended and remodeled to be this space) it seems like it should be bigger.

Just wait (if you're a woman who plans on having kids) shortly (a couple weeks-months depending on your body's hormones) after giving birth, you'll be thinking all your hair is falling out.
During pregnancy your body extends the growth stage (hair= mostly in growing stage, ~10% in resting stage, after resting stage it falls out, online says most lose about 100 hairs a day), post pregnancy all those extended growing ones flip over to resting then falling out, so just as you're sleep deprived, nursing, emotional, and super insecure about your post pregnancy body a lot of hair, oh-so-helpfully, decides it's time to come out in what seems like handfuls, every day until you're back to where you would have been if you had continued your life non-pregnant.

Some of the "bac'n bits" are vegan - textured vegetable protein + smoke flavoring = no animal products to be found. Neither a fan of bacon nor the vegan lifestyle myself, but it's surprising the number of vegetarians and vegans who never paid attention to this and are suddenly surprised when they can choose to include it in their meat-less diet.

That's an awfully big gap between the last button and the bottom of this dress/shirt it would flare open a lot with normal wear.

As this photo or one almost exactly like it has come up before: No, no one going through the hassle of pumping breast milk would store it in a creamer container - a sanitized small container yes but this no, it separates rather quickly (being non homogonized) so someone actually attempting to pour would think it was spoiled rather than they were getting the "breastmilk cream", It has a strong odor, it's not something that is accidentally confused. If they put some in with creamer then just to mess with a creamer thief in a roommate scenario then they are just as big a jerk as the thief as it is a biological hazard and opens them up for a lawsuit.

It's funny the "Come live here" part, it's rather difficult to get Canadian citizenship. There was a whole thing after Trump won the election on how all these people said they were moving to Canada and giving up their US citizenship and then found out it was going to take more than being unhappy in the states to be able to live and work there.

This would: 1) Be super awkward and full of poorly distributed weight, 2) most likely end up burning you and having you drop your grip and the whole mess dumping into the sink, 3) Melt the plastic colander where it touched the metal pot. If you can't manage to use a colander just purchase a pot with a strainer lid.

This is similar to what my child's kindergarten teacher did. They mailed a note/poem to read the night before with similar confetti to put under his pillow, and the confetti referenced in the rhyme. -.- If he gets one of these in twelve years when applying to colleges, they'd better believe my family will not be one to beg for money from.

So many people don't understand this! They act like it's a standard purchase for goods (and yes there can be elements of that, especially in something like health insurance, but that's not the primary goal) when it's really a bet where the insurance company is trying to profit.

It could have been a WIC thing (trying to remember the post I read about it on a parenting board years ago...): Your WIC card/check allows you to get certain items, if using the check you have to get all the items on the check/voucher at once, and you can use multiple checks/vouchers at a time. The people were complaining about waste because the wanted the additional WIC approved items (cheese, eggs, true staples not junk) but had to get the milk to go with it and they couldn't get powdered milk (that they could store and use for baking) anymore?
Or it could have been one of the uber-mega-couponers combining with a deal (I don't have time for coupon clipping but I've definitely bought a couple things because the sale plus the store coupon [things expiring in the next day or two so the store sticks a $2-3 off coupon on it] meant I was reducing my overall bill by adding it to my cart. Never seen those deals on milk though.

It's what they were raised for. The firefighters were thankful and the pigs were not a lost cost for those farming them. Just because they were rescued rather than burning doesn't change the fact that they are livestock.

This needs the rest of the naturally occuring chicken egg colors (red, pink, tan, blue, green - fresheggsdaily.com/2012/02/rainbow-of-egg-colors.html has some nice images) - varies by breed/earlobes are an indicator of the color egg you'll get

More fun is the daylight savings ones, especially twins - A kid born just before the cutover (I think it usually happens around 2am, so say at 1:55am) followed by a kid born after the cutover (what would have been 2:05am but is now 1:05am) - so despite being born ten minutes after they are officially about an hour younger.

It doesn't start so early that those of us who have to work don't have to pay for before and/or after school care (thankfully cheaper than 1k/mo daycare).
Us - 5:45-6am kids wake up, 6-6:30 getting ready & breakfasts for all, 6:30 spouse drops youngest at daycare and drives into work, 7:00 Drop 5yr old off at before school care that will get him to school b/t 8:50-9:20, school/work/30 min lunch (8hrs/day of work doesn't include commute/lunch) (after school care picks up 5yr old when school gets out at 3:50) - commute home - usually both home by 5 - off to get kids together.
If school started later what time is there for family/homework time? Every minute you start later = a minute you stay later. Schools already provide 2 meals for the families that qualify for food assistance, and staff need home time too.
A lot of those complaining about school starting too early are the types who stay up late, don't have a routine, or their parents take them out to the store at 10pm or later.

Just as an FYI - check your carseat's weight limit for switching them around from rear facing to forward facing. Yes it's more of a PITA to get a kid in rear facing but it is safer as long as they're not over that limit - even if they have to criss-cross their legs to fit in the seat.

The interpreters for live concerts and festivals usually research the artist's songs and local ASL slang to fit with the songs. It's a lot of work and practice but those who need them are always very appreciative. It is a performance of it's own.

I would love that for when we go out with my (young) kids - they can see out the window, be "enclosed" into the seat by a parent, but also not repeatedly kick my husband or I (or each other) in the knees/shins because they're mindlessly swinging their legs.

Good with everything but the incorrect ingredient - Cool Whip is *not* whipped cream.

The one with the senior lady in the cart - those carts are specifically there for those above child age with special needs - so if she cannot walk around the entire store, and there were no wheelchairs or she didn't/isn't capable of navigating one this is a valid and kind option, not something to shame.

More like 1% fire, 35% cooking, 64% hey it's the middle of the night? Low battery! Low battery! Are you awake yet? Low battery! Did you have a sleeping child nearby - good luck getting everyone back to sleep before dawn.

$40??!! He needs to hit up Walmart and the Dollar Tree it should have cost less than half that. Even the awesome ones SmileMakers have on Amazon cost $25 shipped for 144.

American Gods is doing a pretty good job equaling things out in what they show.

It's one of those riddles that is designed to trick and make the person say the denser object with the same weight weighs more, the one instance where it doesn't work is with precious metals - gold, silver, etc. and gemstones which are weighed in troy ounces. One pound (troy pound is 12 troy ounces) is about 20% lighter than one avoirdupois pound (16 [standard] ounces). So if someone asks which is heavier a pound of feathers or a pound of gold, the [avoirdupois] pound of feathers is heavier than the [troy pound] of gold.
