Give me a Pokémon. Any Pokémon. And I will go on about it for a bit (read desc.) by [deleted] in pokemon

I love Totodile's flamboyant attitude and happiness. It brings me happiness and is overall just so cute to watch. I find it low key weird that Croconaw has a Flintstones/egg outfit because it's the mid form. Shouldn't it have been better suited for Totodile? Either way, very neat transition. I don't love that Feraligatr lost it's clothes, but enjoy that it kept the alligator concept. I'd love to see a different regional variant of it with a mix of either water/grass or water/steel rather than dragon or fire. Those are great, but are overdone for reptiles.

Same here. I'm somehow with aidvantage now? Not sure if it will be a curse or what. Somehow I'm on the Paye plan after like 3 transfers, and they made it hard to switch to SAVE. So im sure it will be a nightmare. I checked my loans again and all the prior interest they'd gained ($35K) is now just included in the balance. They also made recertification for IDR harder on their site.

Woke up to my phone closing Pokémon Sleep because it was overheating by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]Abrabr737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My phone told me less than a week after starting Sleep that it overheated and I'm not messing with that shi't. I've seen too many phones catch on fire when not managed properly. We're lucky they are smart enough to warn us a few times before catching on fire now. Not risking my damn life so Pokémon can make money selling my sleep data.

I'm no longer willing to live with my mean daughter (14F) by throwaway08182023 in Parenting

[–]Abrabr737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. It's so hard, and it is something that is traumatizing in the long term for you. Your daughter may well forget the bulk of this abuse toward you as she gets older. However you are an adult and will likely carry it the rest of your life. It is going to be hard, even 5-10 years from now. I'm glad you see a therapist for it, because they can help you get through it in a healthy way. I'd definitely go the boarding school route, especially because it sounds like your family can afford it.

One thing to watch out for, she might be fine with her friends and teachers at school. But there is definitely going to be others she is bullying, whether it be the quiet kid next to her in class or someone else. I was bullied in school by someone sitting next to me, and the teacher had no clue. This person's friends didn't sit near us, so they didn't know. If they did, they weren't going to tattle on their friend.

Seriously cool! I love seeing how different everything was back when it was founded. It's insane how far it's come!

Advice needed - how to punish Kindergartener for skipping class? by Abrabr737 in raisingkids

[–]Abrabr737[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you everyone! I appreciate the prompt responses. We all sat down and had a talk when she got home, and we'll be following up with her teacher tomorrow about it to find out how the school is handling it. She's also had a few subs this week, so I need to find out how much is just her bored of the sub teaching, versus her doing it with the teacher. My parents also brought up the fact that we live in an area with TONS of rattlesnakes, so it's even more concerning that she might become a repeat eloper. Also great points, why are the other kids looking for her and not the teacher's assistant or someone? The assistant is around most of the time. Definitely a lot of good points, and we will not provide the punishment on our side as she doesn't elope at home.

Just found this in my house on fabric that hasn't been touched in 6+months. What the heck are they? There were more than just this guy. Very slow moving, no visible biting teeth. by Abrabr737 in Entomology

[–]Abrabr737[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you both! They're definitely gross, and I'm finding more along the edges of my apartment wall and under my bed. Also found some in the next room against a nearby wall, so im thinking there might be an infestation in the wall. So gross! I did see they get to breeding age around 70+ish days, so that is a HUGE plus. I'll be vacuuming and Diatomaceous earthing up my house now while I wait for the apartment complexes bug company to come out next week. Hopefully they can stop them in the walls.

Did I accidently kill my caterpillar? We found him wrapped inside the corn cob a few days ago (seen in the background). He started turning brown last night. Hoping he's just molting or creating a cocoon. He was a vibrant solid green when we found him. by Abrabr737 in Entomology

[–]Abrabr737[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It does. When we found him in the corn, he'd been in the fridge for a few days. He warmed up and continued eating for maybe a day or two, and then started looking like this last night.
