thecommunityconnections.com 845-371-2222 | January 8, ‘25 138 NEW TOPIC #128 - STUTTERING One of my children began stuttering, and I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with this and what they have done about it. TOPIC #127 – SAFETY STICKERS My son’s cheder found a donor, collected all the boys’ coats one morning, and returned it by lunchtime with a grey reflective strip all the way around the coat. I have the Bugaboo Lynx carriage, and the rain cover also has a reflective strip all the way around the plastic under the zipper. TOPIC #127 – SAFETY STICKERS I bought sew-on reflectors from Tip Top and sewed them on by hand. You have to stitch it a few times at the beginning and the end so it stays on. You can also do the iron-on reflectors from Tip Top, but it did not stay on for me for the entire season. TOPIC #127 – SAFETY STICKERS I bought iron on reflective strips and attached them to my boys’ coats along the hem (front and back) and wrists. This way they are always visible, especially when getting off the bus once it’s dark outside. Zooms in New Square sells them. Towel Hanging Hello Csay Balabustes! For starters, if your kitchen towel is currently hanging, stop reading and pat yourself on the back, as this appears to be a non-typical occurrence in Monsey households. Towels are meant to be used as shields, bug swatters, insulation, hiccup mufflers, and oh, also for wiping the hands. Whichever use you have for it, it’s not simple to be done while it’s hanging on a flimsy hook, tucked into a kitchen drawer, or over the oven handle. So, how do we keep towels in a place where they are reachable and locate-able, while still being easy to replace when they lose their way? Hopefully, if your towel has a great resting place, you’re still reading on and will share your tips with us! Looking forward to hearing from all of you, TOPIC #68 - SHOPPING SHPIEL I am personally allergic to scents such as Mr. Clean, diffusers, and perfumes, and often have a hard time breathing in public places or at simchas. I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this, as well, and if there’s any idea aside from an inhaler that I can use to feel better or build up my tolerance for these smells.
