So, mealworms are in my Amazon cart. It's super easy to breed them. We have a 20 gallon tank of them in our living room currently because they can eat and digest styrofoam (one of DD's side projects). 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've now learned two new things today. I see from Wikipedia that Tom Lehrer is 91. I hope he's well and happy; his songs makes me happy. I own three CDs of his music. I particularly enjoy the ones where he introduces each song. Many of his songs are still timely; for example, Send the Marines. 8 hours ago, CuriousMomof3 said: I love Tom Lehrer, my father introduced me to him very young, I knew all the words to all his songs from childhood. So, thank you for that trip down memory lane. Makes me wonder if a Tom Lehrer playlist should be in one of my kid's Christmas stockings I say yes! My daughter also memorized many of his songs.

Mothersweets Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I can't remember if this has been recommended before but Redbubble has an enormous selection of stickers, clothing, bags, phone cases, and wall art that is created by independent artists - it is fan art heaven! You can find stickers, etc. that relate to just about any fandom - Doctor Who, Adventure Time, The Office, Star Trek, BTS, historical figures, literary figures, movies, TV shows - even old ones like The Andy Griffith Show or M*A*S*H, just about anything. My teens really like putting stickers on their water bottles so I usually get a couple to put in their stockings or at birthdays. It's inexpensive and something that can be unique to them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if you usually wear a large, you can order a large from them? Yes. But they often have many different styles of stuff you can order (classic fit tee, tri-blend, women's style, etc...) so select the style that matches the type of shirt you most often wear. Years ago my dc ordered me a tee from them & got too small of a size in a women's style. Red Bubble was very nice & awesome about exchanging it for the proper size. We tend to order the classic tees, the tri-blends, or various hoodies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
