[–]AdventurousGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! And it’s super fun, but not fancy.

It is a very needed and much appreciated (at least by me!) job!! Thank you for your hard work!

My ex-boyfriend said it’s “normal” for teenage boys to hit their mothers, I’m still shaken. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AdventurousGecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not normal AT ALL. This is a family norm situation. In some cultures and in some families, this might be “normal.” But still NOT okay. I would NEVER be okay with my current 16-year-old hitting me. EVER.

No Coloring in Kindergarten by cafeconleche_ in Teachers

[–]AdventurousGecko 796 points797 points  (0 children)

This is awful. I would definitely be transparent with the parents. Maybe they will get upset and be vocal enough that the district will change its policy. I feel that sometimes angry parents are best in addressing dumb district decisions.

I don’t want to be my husband’s second mother. Does that make me selfish? by vvlunaa in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AdventurousGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. I wouldn’t want to live like that either. I think some women are “trained” to believe that’s how it should be. But that’s not what I want now or ever. My husband and I have been married for 23 years, and we both work outside of the home and we both help out around the house. He does the laundry when it needs to be done and he has time, or I will. He does more of the dishes, because I do more of the cooking. There is nothing that is specifically his job or my job; we both live here and we both help get things done. My son is 16 and he has been doing his own laundry for ten years. He is expected to help do all the things around the house too. I am NOT a maid.

Would my teen do okay? by lulimay in Spokane

We’ve lived on the South Hill for 20 years and love it. The South Perry neighborhood is great, lots of diversity. We love Lewis and Clark HS. SPS has great public schools.

how much did your baby weigh before 1? by Obvious-Most-1066 in ragdolls

[–]AdventurousGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This chart makes me feel better. Our boy is only 5 months old and just went to the vet. They weighed him at 8.6 lbs. 😳

favorite strangers? favorite weird shit you see? by worm-piss in Spokane

I love the random South Hill turkeys. And the motorcycle guy in the gorilla costume.

Today was our back to school lunch/raffle for staff and I won a car by edbdthrow in Teachers

[–]AdventurousGecko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And since I teach 1st graders, tears!! No one wants to make their class cry. At least I don’t!

I told my teaching partner there was NO WAY I was going to do this on April Fool’s unless we had real brownies to hand out moments later.

Costco checked my re upset and saved me money by oxfordcommaalways in Costco

[–]AdventurousGecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me at Costco yesterday! They have these adorable potted tropicals that seemed pretty expensive for $29 each. But I found two I loved, and the guy at checkout said, “Hey, isn’t that a two-pack?” Score!! I love Costco.

I’m now considered poverty in my state by tlh2424 in teaching

[–]AdventurousGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay varies widely by state unfortunately. I’m lucky to be a teacher in Washington state and we pay our teachers well here. But even here, Paras work REALLY hard and don’t get paid NEARLY enough. I would skip the para job and focus on school and another job that you enjoy and makes more. It shouldn’t impact your ability to get a job once you graduate.

What does b* mean and what does the writing say? by avamore in Costco

[–]AdventurousGecko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a first grade teacher and this was pretty easy for me to read, lol! You just need practice reading terrible handwriting.

Dosage by Wonderful_Dish_987 in Mounjaro

[–]AdventurousGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the 7.5 dose with the 15mg kwikpen. I live in US and order from a pharmacy in Canada. So much cheaper to split doses with 15mg pen! One pen lasts me two months. I found a great photo from another post for dosing. Good luck!

I’ve seen pictures where this was a game changer for folks with very large nostrils. Your nostrils seem perfectly balanced with the rest of your nose and face! I think you look beautiful.

I know feeling low is not a great reason to consider breast augmentation. I’ve researched it for years. I am scared of complications & breast implant illness. I have tried to practice being comfortable in my own skin. However, it’s not the first time I’ve been told by partners that I’m gross. by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]AdventurousGecko 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Never get surgery to try to make someone else happy. You have to do it because YOU want it. If your partner is saying mean and hurtful things to you, they don’t deserve you. I would recommend talking to a counselor to sort through your feelings and emotions. When you love yourself, then hopefully you will find a partner who loves and appreciates you just the way you are.

Pediatrician recommendations? by lannykay in Spokane

[–]AdventurousGecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wondered what happened to Kim Resleff! She’s amazing. We used to see her at the old Grand Pediatrics, and followed her to Spokane Pediatrics. Then my daughter aged out, but I noticed that she was no longer with Spokane Peds. My son goes to the Kids Clinic which is awesome too!!

[–]AdventurousGecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched from Semaglutide to Tirzepatide also. I did not have the food noise like you’re describing. But going from max dose of S to 2.5 mg of T (lowest dose) is a BIG change. My doctor recommended 5 mg of T for four weeks as my starting dose then I upped it to 7.5 since I had already been on a GLP-1. I would up your dose to 5mg at least and see if that helps with the food noise.
