Any online shopping pros? Struggling with toy storage bins
Don't struggle. Ask a store employee to help you.

Veggie soup out all night
I've heard this sad story before. Veggie soup starts hanging out with the wrong crowd, then veggie soup is out all night. I hope your dear soup gets back on the right track very soon.

My 13 year old didn’t get the period yet
Wow. That’s pretty late. My 6 year old got the period, she already even got the question mark and exclamation point. I guess she’s really above her age level bh

Could you please explain why your correct is more correct than my correct?

I’m not sure myself but it just didn’t sound right to start that sentence with please.
Just like you didn’t write now: “Please could you explain.” You wrote “could you please explain.”
But I’m not going off any rules, just the sound of it. “Please help me” sounds fine. “Please could you help me” doesn’t. I might be wrong. I’ll let the grammar pros weigh in.
ETA, now that I’m rereading it I wonder if I shouldn’t have used CAN instead of COULD.

How do you say this nicely.
Relax your features.
Put a smile on your face.
Say “this” in a soft tone.
Curtsy bow.
Done.

'Please' can be placed at the beginning, middle or end of a sentence. That's my weigh in for you.

You made me curious enough to google it.
Seems like if you use “could you” you shouldn’t start the sentence with “please”... “please” should come after “you” or at the end of the sentence.

Shopping
Online high school
Very understandable. I've seen grown adults do online shopping at work.

What can be made with pizza dough? Not pizza
Where did you hear that? I'm afraid that's not quite right.
OK, that's enough of me for now.

What do you do to look young?
Hang around older people
Pardon me if I already said that when the thread first came out 11+ years ago.
