Replace a paid service with a friend service swap

"Cried on a neighbor's couch" - just kidding!

More like: "Convo that had sharing of 'what's really going on'."

Btw, one of these times (probably last Mutual Dependence Bingo Board) ...possibly even before I had gotten into producing mini painting app artifacts with Claude... (it's great!) I was like: "I should make a web app for people to check of Mutual Dependence Bingo for people for whom image-editing program use is a hassle."

A few bingo ideas!

- host a game night

- make art with another family

- go on a neighborhood walk with a friend

- walk someone else's dog

- host a neighborhood potluck at a park / rec center

Potential mutual dependence bingo ideas:

- Invite someone for a meal OR go to someone's house for a meal. Bonus if they are a demographic mismatch (e.g., a family inviting a single friend and their roommate, or older folks inviting younger). Yes, it has to be a meal; no, it doesn't have to be fancy.

- Invite someone along for an errand (e.g., meet up at the grocery store for the shopping we both need to do).

- Delegate a task. (Interpret however you like.)

- Borrow something OR lend something.

My biggest complaint about your book is that it's hot pink! Is there any chance the stickers would come in a different color?

I think that's a very reasonable ask for Second Sticker!

ok so for the bingo chart, I'd put asking for help for a thing that people don't normally ask for help with. I was just talking with a friend a couple hours ago about how when we have new babies, we get swarmed with help and meals, which is great... but we both felt that we needed more help during our first trimesters (when we didn't have a cute baby to show off!) than postpartum. And yet... even in our thriving mom economy that we have here (which is truly a treasure), where we support and help each other a lot, it still feels weird to ask for first-trimester help.

a nice gender neutral turquoise maybe? to stick with the neon theme

Mary C. Tillotson's avatar

I like turquoise, but my kids are little and I'm always over stimulated! So I personally would vote against neon anything. My kids ask me what my favorite color is and I always find myself saying something like, "I like gentle colors."

May I suggest that if your next sticker features an image of a person, that it include different body types, hair textures, and disabilities?

Because of the size of a sticker probably only one silhouette is possible. Whether or if there’s an image depends on the text, and for the initial sticker, it’s the image from my book so people connect the two
