We did the same staying home was an option, we opted for just a few mornings a week for socialisation exposure to new experiences etc. she wasnt enjoying it, was making everything difficult in the morning. so we pulled her out after one term. We kept taking about how fun nursery school is eventually she decided she was ready to try a again almost a year later.

there are other options for socialising/structured activities we also go to an organised playgroup every Wednesday

If the spider is still in your car 3 years later, It's the spiders car now. Give up

We have friends that admit their kids to hospital any time they are sick

Same sort of things happen with my wife and 2YO daughter.

yep basically no maintained hiking or running trails around here, markng for a race is a desire path or even a compass bearing, a machette and some marker ribbons. people doing the longer distances are usually more careful and sure of the their footing and using poles, In the these busy races especially the shorter distances with hundreds of people it often ends up a slip and slide like this.

sometimes my Gluteus medius will sort of seize up under heavy training load. I can get it to release by sleeping compression tights and taking anti inflammatories. Stretch and activate before running again

I'm surprised to see sweetlip and baracuda on the menu

Sweetlip in Australia is considered very poor table fare, is there any secret to preparing to make it better eating?

Baracuda aren't you concern about ciguatera?

Probably in the langauge you want to converse in.

If you can speak some thai, have a go at some lao, there is lots of cross over.

Just ask them?

different crowd densities compared, 1 person per 2 square feet is about 5 people per square meter. Thats about the safe limit if every stays claim.

Do it together. Get "What to expect in the first year" set aside sometime each week and go through it together a chapter at a time

2.5 YO can easily do 1.5k walk with me and the dog if in the mood, running, jumping, collecting rocks and flowers. Not in the mood,wont take a step out the gate.

Best coffee Le trio and cafe vanille

loads of cool cafes in vientiane

you will be pulled over regardless

6 weeks is still enough time to turn it around.

You got to feel the suck when things don't go your way during that training run. That's part of the experience. you are now stronger because of it and ready to smash the rest of the training block.

I'd question if you really need to stop and take off your shoes during a 50k especially if you are expecting to do it in 5-6 hours. unless you are specifically having an issue i wouldn't take my shoes off.

Indenpendently audited carbon offsets. I believe the lower price comes from the carbon offsets working in conjunction with development projects that simultaneously provide other poverty alleviation and health outcomes.

Wren is $25 per tonne of CO2e

carbonfootprint.com is only $8.9 that's what I've been doing.

How do you respond to these threats?

If it happens repeatedly then that means they didn't follow through on their threats on the previous occasions.

Gavin De Becker book the Gift of Fear has advice on extortion maybe check that out.

Make the most of the early morning and evening.

probably "It's ok" which toddler has now started using back to us.

"don't bite your brother" "it's ok daddy"

Not a book recommendation but introsepction won't lead you to the life you want. Action is needed to find meaning. Meaning comes in the service of others and/or in pursuit of a goal that is bigger than yourself.

i busted the zip, morning of the race trying to get all my gear in. I don't like have too much stuffed in the front or under my arms.

Managed to sow the broken part together and still have use of 2/3 of the zip and I'll probably get something 15L next time. I also find the seems and inner lining very abrasive.

i offered reduced rent when the market was down to keep a long term tenant

wait, why does the school have any say what you do outside of the school in your own home?

I've quit drinking altogether recently. got kids similar age that i want to be present for now and healthy and around for in the long. its also helped me lose weight, run faster, sleep better, have better mental clarity.

BBQing just isn't right without a beer so i keep some non alcholic beers in the fridge for that.
