Toys

I want a fantastic looking locker for my first year of middle school (aka junior high) I think have stuff animals hang from my locker door would be cute (we have full walk in lockers) So, yea, how do I do it? I also don’t want to poke a hole in my stuffed animals, but if I have to i probably will. Also, do you have any ideas for decorating lockers? Thank you!

Stuffed animals will look tacky.
You can buy colorful sticker instead http://www.cafepress.com/GeoChemBio/s__bumper-stickers
Advantage is that you can change them and change themes.

It is a heated underground parking lot and I’d like to put a few pieces of wooden furniture in it without them getting messed up!

first of all stack them off the floor on non moisture conducting blocks. Depending on how your wood has been treated you may be able to wrap them against the damp but then they might sweat. It may be best to install heaters on thermostats to maintain a suitable temperature.

it has a constant velocity and its pulled along a rough surface. Is the wooden block in equilibrium? If yes, what are the conditions/equations for the wooden block to be in equilibrium?

There are four forces acting.
Force of pull=F
Weight of the Block=mg
Reaction force=R=mg m=mass of the block g gravity
Friction Force=Mu R
F=Mu.R
R=mg
F and are in opposite directions and R is Normal to the surface.

What kind of paint to use for my wooden bird play gym?
I made a wooden play gym for my two budgies with wooden dowels and Popsicle sticks. I have acrylic paint, can i use that? What kind of paint can use, I want the paint to be cheap and safe because I want to use a lot of bright colors. Thank you!

I don’t think you should paint their toys. They will most certainly chew on them and ingest paint.

Most wooden toys that I’ve seen for Budgies have been stained, not painted. Food colors would probably work.

My stepchildren are, to me, too old to carry their stuffed animals and baby blankets around with them (not outside the home). What age is too old? They’re 10 1/2, 11 1/2, and almost 13. I think it’s ok to sleep with these things, but carrying them around is a bit ridiculous. Is it all kids these days? Nobody wants to grow up too fast?

I stopped at around 5 or 6… that is quite weird
maybe its because their parents aren’t together and they have separation anxiety?

I have a friend in my basic drawing class who talks to this girl often, but I don’t really get a handle on what exactly he says, because I am more busy on my drawings. But anyway, he is kinda random, and the last thing he talked about he mentioned to put a pikachu on his drawing, it was a joke by the way.

What are some good openings for talking to people in the classroom? I am not that random, afterall.

Good topics of conversation:

1. Rainbows
2. Puppy Dogs
3. Religion
4. Favourite 18th Century Ukrainian Dictator
5. Toilet Paper Brands

Hope that helped and all the best.

I tried the Mattel website and there is a link to the instruction sheet but the file is empty, so that is no help!! Thanks for any help!

wowo thats old.

Someone told me today that I have reputation for talking about other people at work. It hurt because even though I know I talk about others I didn’t realize it was enough to create a bad reputation for myself. I am just really impulsive and will talk about other people because I’m frustrated or have nothing interesting to talk about. What can I do to curb this behavior and cause less problems at work for myself?

Have you tried shutting your mouth and only opening it when you have relevant work things to talk about?

My daughter loves her stuffed animals and two of them smell bad. Can I put them in the washing machine without them getting ruined? Thanks in advance!

Perhaps put them in a pillowcase and rubberband it closed. Don’t overcrowd them. Mild detergent, no bleach, softener optional. Let it air dry
Good luck

I had a couple of figurines I got a while ago. I didn’t like them, so I kept them in the box after I opened them. When I opened the box, it smelled kind of like chemicals….. Should I keep them in the boxes or take them out? I’m not quite sure of how to dispose of them, either.

Keep them in the box and keep the boxes. They have already been opened but they are still worth more with the packaging.
