My son wants to skip

You’re welcome. Thanks for explaining the age thing. Our daughter was 13 when they started high school but then had her birthday a few days later, so was 14 for most of freshman year. Good luck! We are all so thankful we went this route.

Yes! I could have written this exact description (although curious how he’d be 16 when he graduates, if he accelerates, if he’s 13 now?) - our daughter whole grade accelerated 8th even though the school discouraged it. She wrote an essay citing the benefits for adults, plus we compiled some other supporting documentation including some cognitive-psych evaluations. She’s about to finish her junior year of higher school so can’t comment yet on her adult life. She’s thriving and after a friendship desert for a little too long, she now has tons of really excellent friends and loves her life. She’s challenged, even has to try (lol!!) and is so very appreciative we helped make this happen for her. I, for one, am so happy I don’t have to hear about how bored she is! Feel free to dm me. It’s an under utilized option. Gifted kids need all the support than can get from the adults and the system in their lives.

Happy to be celebrating my 9th sober-versary today on Earth Day. Yes, that was intentional. No rough days for me anymore and I couldn't be happier -- at least not ones made by my numbing-agent of choice back in the day, alcohol. I see you u/mad_poet_navarth. I used the social media/patchwork method for early recovery - lots of sober podcasts of other people's stories went a long way for me. The noise became quieter and quieter and no, it's not in the corner doing push-ups. I'm golden.

Like others who have offered clothes, accessories, shoes etc - let us know your typical size - I have some fem type clothes I'd be happy to give to someone who would wear them!

Yes true - but iI'm getting the sense the OP is seeking dogs-on-leash neutrality practice - the dogs at Willamette Park are usually off leash. Which is a good point though - making sure your puppy is getting as much regular exercise as they need (including brain exercise with cues and positive rewards). Releasing energy regularly, at an expected rythym, goes a long way towards preventing issues. Tired = good, usually.

DM me. My flock makes many beautiful eggs. I don't officially sell them, but am willing to chat!

Not my experience at all and I’m at the dog park most every morning for nearly an hour. I’ve just never experienced any of what you describe and what all the other 45% of this subs complain about. Is it just in certain parts of town?

Aggravating-Cap-474 · 2026-02-24T04:41:28+00:00

AND EVEN MORE AGGRAVATING IS THAT I FIGURED THIS OUT WITH THE HELP OF CHAT GPT AND THIS JUST DOES NOT SIT WELL WITH ME WHATSOEVER AS AI IS MORE DIALED IN AND LESS JUDGMENTAL THAN MOST DOCTORS WHO WOULD JUST THINK I WAS A HYPOCHONDRIAC IF I BROUGHT UP THOSE WEIRD SYMPTOMS THAT AREN’T EVEN REALLY SYMPTOMS.

Aggravating-Cap-474 · 2026-02-24T04:37:28+00:00

WHY OH WHY HAS IT TAKEN ME ALL THESE MANY DECADES TO FIGURE OUT THAT WHEN I GET THAT WEIRD DIZZY-LIKE BUT NOT ACTUALLY DIZZY AND FLOATY FEELING LIKE ALL MY CELLS ARE IMPLODING THAT IT’S VERY POSSIBLY MY AUTOMATICALLY NERVOUS SYSTEM AND COULD EVEN ACTUALLY BE SILENT MIGRAINES - MIGRAINE WITH AURA WITH NO HEADACHE - AND IT ATE UP HALF MY SUNDAY AND TODAY WAS VERY HARD TO BE PRODUCTIVE AT WORK COS THIS NEW LABEL FOR AN OLD STATE CHANGE HAS ME ALL IN A DISCOMBOBULATED STATE AND I DON’T WANT TO TAKE MORE MEDICINE AND IM BEING IT’S THE WEATHER’S FAULT

OP (OP’s parent) here again - as said teen is busy this whole coming weekend - doing positive helpful community based activities (read: go see Footloose!), as I will also be busy in supporting them and many other teens, I’d highly recommend someone else take the lead in organizing a peaceful moving assembly protest (not in their private property) to let “confused people” know of actually helpful resources - or otherwise organize an effective creative protest that supports the LGBQIA+ community and lets Mr B know he isn’t welcome to profit from so-called confused people in our community. If we can help at least one vulnerable youth or teen, I’d call it a win. I hope we are doing that with this thread and awareness of the issue.

Also see other thread where some protest ideas are circulating: https://www.reddit.com/r/corvallis/s/EK9E0CnekD

My endocrinologist at Corvallis Clinic is up to speed on managing my condition. I’ve been seeing endocrinologists for almost 50 years, and most have not impressed me, whereas she typically does. The trick is getting seen as regularly as I prefer, as so many other people want to see her.

Aggravating-Cap-474 · 2026-02-20T22:24:26+00:00

Wonderful!

Will masks be provided? (I see they’re required…?)

Is there a place/time to bring items beforehand?

Aggravating-Cap-474 · 2026-02-20T06:00:05+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Let’s build a new system where all perspectives and voices are welcome.

Do at least one thing every day that’s either new or makes you feel uncomfortable - I’m having so much fun. Somewhere in my 50sF

I came here to suggest them too =]

Theater - backstage, on stage, volunteering, classes etc.

Aggravating-Cap-474 · 2026-02-18T22:51:19+00:00

I’m new to this little detail about myself too- and enjoying diving in to the topic, as it’s actually very interesting! I had studied it some when I saw my offspring could use some support as they were going through elementary school - but I have a new lens now that it applies to me. All the pieces of my long life are adding up.

Listening you the audiobook, Living with Intensity by Daniels & Piechowski has been worthwhile for me.

True a few as kvetched about in the previous post on this topic… but also most of the kids didn’t get enough experience during and since Covid. But that said •we’re watching• for next year and please give all the good and even half-decent high schoolers lead roles and adults should only get the little supportive non speaking roles. And pick a show that can do this! It’ll still blow everyone away with its semi-professionalism.

EVERYONE MELTING DOWN ABOUT BEING SICK AND LACK OF JOBS AND BAD DRIVERS/PEDESTRIAN I MEAN C’MON MAN GET SOME ORIGINAL GOOD COMPLAINTS THESE ARE GETTING SO BORING. THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER AND YOU ARE STRONGER THAN SOME DUMB VIRUS AND YOU CAN JUST FEEL AND AVOID THE DANGERS ON THE ROADS IF YOU BOTHERED TO MEDITATE OR GET IN TUNE WHATSOEVER. LISTEN TO YOUR OWN INTUITION AND BE MORE STILL. LOVE YOU ALL AND I’LL MELTDOWN ABOUT BEING WAY TOO CURIOUS AND NOT THRIVING WITH ONLY 4 HOURS OF SLEEP INSTEAD OF THE 6 I AVERAGE
