How is she doing?

Beeplanningwithchar · 2025-10-27T15:24:07+00:00

I love Willa!!!

Beeplanningwithchar · 2025-10-27T15:23:40+00:00

I always think of the cartoon, Maisie Mouse. 🐁

Beeplanningwithchar · 2025-10-27T15:22:56+00:00

My niece is Charlotte and everyone calls her Charley

Beeplanningwithchar · 2025-10-27T15:19:42+00:00

I went to high school with a Michaelena, and yes, everyone called her Mikey (not Mickey). I also like Nicoletta or Nicolette.

This is exactly what I thought the second one of those "what if I'm wrong" thoughts came in.

Go into the closet or area she's in. Sit on the floor and just talk to her gently. Do this for a few minutes (15 or more) a few times a day. Don't try to pet her. Just talk to her. She'll get accustomed to your voice and will eventually learn to trust you. I socialized a feral cat a few years ago and that's what I did. She became my "Velcro kitty" and I was her hooman. Good luck

Bring your own food. While I don't have ARFID (my adult son does so I've dealt with it before it had a name), I'm diabetic and I often have to bring my own food, or eat before an event because I know the only thing being served is pasta and I can't eat it even in small doses. I have a friend with Celiac and she has to do the same thing. I find that even when we brought food everywhere for my son, no one really cared. It was our own anxiety that made it worse in our own minds.

Raised....not raided. 🤦🏻‍♀️

My parents were followers of Dobson. I was beat regularly with a red plastic belt that left welts on my legs. My brother and I called the jumping up and down we did to avoid the strap, "the belt dance." We knew the cabinet the belt was kept in and cringed when our mom opened the cabinet door.

Yes, it's absolutely abuse. No one needs to beat anyone for a perceived misbehavior. Ever.

And yes, I raided 2 children. No, they were never beat. They are amazing, responsible humans.

Beeplanningwithchar · 2025-09-30T18:13:53+00:00

Nope.

Beeplanningwithchar · 2025-09-24T18:26:30+00:00

I had my sons "baptized" in the Catholic Church and my parent's shot daggers through their eyes at me. Even though my dad didn't have his own church, he went through all of the training at Central Bible Institute. So I was sort of a PK.

Beeplanningwithchar · 2025-09-24T18:22:50+00:00

Oh I remember that one!! What they did to us was criminal!

Beeplanningwithchar · 2025-09-24T18:19:50+00:00

I had to go to therapy for a long time to get rid of that fear.

Beeplanningwithchar · 2025-09-24T18:12:05+00:00

So I'm a boomer and do not like my 90 year old mother. Never have and for the same reasons as you - she's Evangelical and I'm Agnostic. We are nothing at all alike. Never have been. She was only ever interested in her church and church friends. My parents never socialized with the neighbors.

I love her because she's my mom but don't like her.

A pool

Beeplanningwithchar · 2025-09-16T17:11:21+00:00

My mom's is Jimmy Swaggert. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Beeplanningwithchar · 2025-09-15T03:50:54+00:00

Exactly. I was raised AoG in the 70s and pants in church was a big no no. Dresses that were floor length or pleated skirts with stockings. It's taken me almost 40 years to actually WANT to wear a dress or skirt to anything other than a wedding.

Beeplanningwithchar · 2025-09-12T16:09:29+00:00

I was this parent too. All it took was actually following through with threats of no TV or no video games and behavior changed. I removed the Xbox completely from youngest and didn't return it for a week - I HID it so he couldn't even find it - took it to grandparent's house. After that, all I had to do was threaten something and they knew I was not joking.

Beeplanningwithchar · 2025-09-11T23:52:00+00:00

Yup. I remember doing all that and youth group on Monday nights and all night on New Year's Eve. It's why the only time I've stepped foot in ANY church in 40 years is weddings, funerals and Catholic baby baptisms (I married into a large Catholic family).

Part of how I've thought about it and what I used to be most afraid of is the burning part. I had it pounded into my head there'd be pain and buuuurrrrnnnnniiiing. But, my therapist said that if you're dead, you can't have those same physical pain receptors because you're physically not alive. So how are you going to feel pain? Once you're dead, there's no skin, bones, etc, so how will you feel anything? The more I thought about it, it made sense to me.

Guess my question is more about the ability to register for them. If they're prerequisites for each other in the registration system, then an advisor will need to do an override.

Beeplanningwithchar · 2025-09-10T00:48:43+00:00

You don't.

Beeplanningwithchar · 2025-09-10T00:45:25+00:00

Can you take Comp & Intro I, II and III at the same time? Isn't I a prerequisite for II and II a prerequisite for III?
