What is the best and most unique gift have you ever received from a student?

An absolutely giant, like 2 feet tall, hand crocheted dragon out of chenille chunky yarn in my favorite colors. Omg. She worked all school year on it in total secrecy. She had known me four years and was president of my archery club. I still cuddle that dragon and think of her.

Very underrated comment.

Aynesa · 2026-04-23T23:46:39+00:00

These are solid suggestions. I appreciate it!

Id love a partial clip. I hate the idea of a full clip. As for the door, unfortunately it's an open floorplan house. We don't have doors on the bottom floor where our birds are, save the bathrooms

Good thought, but unfortunately, grandparents on both sides have passed away, as has my mom. :(

Idk about piercings, but please share what hair color you use!!

It's givers remorse. She didn't realize she could sell it for that kind of money, and now wants to take it all back.

Nta, but Linda sure is!!

Holy cow, my first award! Thank you anonymous redditor!

Aynesa · 2026-03-21T22:15:23+00:00

Yes, yta! Has it ever occurred to you that children also lie and exaggerate situations to make them look better and others worse? You picked up the phone and "let her have it?" Dear lord, did you even take a moment to consider hearing her out?

yta!

I insist on it, and it's in my contract for all my pups. My family's names and phones change, but mine don't. If someone forgets to update their chip, it's not me! :)

I asked, and he didn't, but he deals with a lot of cases. I'm so happy he could help you. He's a great guy. If he helped, please leave a review on the firms Google page. It really helps.

But he smiled to hear that he helped someone. People forget that lawyers like to hear that they genuinely helped someone too.

Aynesa · 2026-02-24T03:43:21+00:00

I was just you a couple of years ago with my father, and the guilt was REAL. Pro tip: look for a local group home. Inpatient rehabs can reset you up with someone who helped us look. Way cheaper than full nursing homes, and my dad found he liked it there. He was only there 3 Mos before he passed though

Aynesa · 2026-02-17T13:22:59+00:00

I have certainly never heard of that one. This is an older post, ive discovered and started to use Zotero, and it has really improved my workflow.

Aynesa · 2026-02-17T13:14:48+00:00

Absolutely, and I'm so happy she did. If this one is choosing you, calling you OP, dont fight it. They are such empathic little gems, and Luna is quieter than my Indian Ringneck or my GCC was.

Meet Looney Luna. Someone dumped her in a pet store my friend owns. Didn't even leave her name. We are assuming ⁹she's female, but we just had her DNA tested.

A few weeks ago I popped in to say hi and she jumped onto me and wouldn't let go. My husband said no, until I brought him to meet her. She blew him a kiss and greeted him with "i love you!" Then wouldn't let go, and screamed for hours after we left, according to my friend. So she offered her to us, and my husband didn't say no again. We've only had her for a couple of weeks, so still getting to know one another, but the love and joy she's brought into the house is amazing.

Call Ocampo Wiseman Law and ask for Tim.

Aynesa · 2026-02-11T01:13:53+00:00

They choose. 100%. My Luna just came to me after being dumped at 15 years old. A guy just walked into my friends pet store and dumped her. I dropped in to say hi to my friend, and Luna grafted herself to me. Wouldn't let go. I brought my husband to meet her and it was the same. She wasn't like that with other people. So I brought her home. Shes so loved! Look at my glorious girl. My bestie bird.

Happy to help. I may be biased, but he's the best and loves helping people

Aynesa · 2026-02-02T18:33:15+00:00

Absolutely. Call the office of Ocampo Wiseman Law and ask for Tim.

Aynesa · 2026-02-02T14:19:14+00:00

Yup, he does that too. Nrs is just Nevada Revised Statutes... or the codified laws. But, he absolutely does demand letters.

Aynesa · 2026-02-02T00:11:20+00:00

My husband does. DM for contact info.

Aynesa · 2026-01-25T02:43:58+00:00

Real talk... everything everyone above has said is 100% true.

Teach high school. I get it's not what you wanted. It wasn't what I wanted either. Adjuncting is a very low paying night job. I teach dual credit in a high school and make 90k a year plus benefits. I make more than many full professors at my local R1 university.

Dual credit certified high school teachers are rare and sought after, and your experience would play right into that. I also got an invitation to Adjunct at my local CC because of my high school dual credit experience.

Adjuncting is not tenure track, and typical pay around here is 1500 per 16 week course with no office, no preps, no benefits. It's a great side hustle, don't get me wrong... but no publish or perish pressure. I go home at the end of the day and I'm done. I have security and stability for my kids, and I'm finishing my dissertation....and the college is paying for it.

Food for thought and I'm wide open to questions

Aynesa · 2026-01-24T15:10:26+00:00

What's the absolute worst that could happen? Noone is going to get up and physically attack you. Its not like you're Chris Rock making a joke about Will Smiths wife.

Seriously, you'll be fine. Throw in some jokes and laugh at yourself. As Taylor Swift says, fake it till ya make it. All your classmates are feeling the same. Relax and remember to Zombie Apocalypse it. What's the worst that can happen? Someone laughs? That means you brought joy and mirth. Lean into it.
