I have used A4 for filing documents in foreign offices, but otherwise I would not have known about it.

That’s all I’ve ever used A4 for.

What about something like the months of the year things teachers put up on the walls of classrooms above calendars? Usually there’s the month name and some related decorations? I loved to play with that stuff as a kid and if they like lists they could make their own with it

Literally one of my favorite things as a kid. I would spend hours with our button jar. I started my own as soon as I moved out

We needed counters for Kiddo to learn his math and I happened to have a bunch of buttons for a project and they’re now his favorite “fucking around instead of actually doing math work” things.

My brother isn’t autistic but had some autistic behaviors, especially as a little kid. If your 5 year old is close to or perhaps able to read, a book of fish or birds or something to memorize might be nice. 
My brother could tell you the average weight and length of just about any fish in the sea for awhile there hahaha.

I thought those page size names (A4, A3, B4) were international standard sizes. Its interesting to hear they aren’t

Well, the US has a habit of not adopting international measurements (cough, metric, cough).
But with everything digital now, a lot of this has become irrelevant (I had my documents formatted to fit properly in A4 paper when printed - though even that may but unnecessary now). Documents we used to send via snail mail were typically just uploaded to the correct site, or emailed.

Does anyone have a decent source for the “boiling water to clean up air inside” business? All I’m getting is herbal cough remedies and blog posts.
Also I’m starting to feel dizzy/buzzy in my head. I don’t like this.

Apparently it’s that simple. Just boil water - essentially create humidity in order to bond to the bad crap in the air and make it heavy? @Bracken_Joy mentioned on my journal that someone-who-does-air-filters-for-a-living recommended it.

Lol. I thought bong water was more about cooling the smoke down, like a hookah.
