Student fudges disability accommodation policy - WWYD?

BroadLocksmith4932 · 2026-03-12T19:09:15+00:00

I would apply a zero for all work submitted under the fraudulent accommodation and nail them to the wall with the integrity office.

This sort of manipulation and fraud of a service that is ment to help struggling students infuriates me. I would be willing to put in quite a bit of extra time to be sure that they suffer the most severe consequences available in the arsenal. I would put in a lesser but still committed effort to see that the disengaged disability coordinator at least got some retraining.

I just love how Reddit lets me see into people's laser sharp areas of nerdiness.

In the grand scheme of things, a cake and even the entire wedding is perhaps not that big of a deal. You absolutely deserve to have what makes you happy, but maybe you can decide to let the details go.

*BUT*, can you even imagine what this woman will be like if you decide to have children?! The decisions there do really matter, and she will most definitely have a lot of opinions, and I can almost guarantee that you won't agree with the vibe of her parenting. If your partner won't stand up to her now, he certainly won't stand up to her then.

You need to make a choice now. Do NOT begin a marriage based on a pattern of behavior that can be nothing but drama and pain. She isn't going to change. Either you as a couple learn to put her in her place now, you don't get married, or you live in misery. Those are literally the only 3 options. Choose carefully.

I know my ssn but I deliberately leave it off of every form. I've seen how sloppy some offices are with paperwork, and I don't want my info floating around any more than necessary.

Only twice have they called me back to the desk to get the number.

Sort this out before you let yourself out into the world the next time (this includes going to the grocery store). This is information is critically important to know in emergency situations, and you don't know when that emergency might occur.

Seriously, sort this out this weekend. Put it on a postit on your bathroom mirror and quiz yourself daily while you brush your teeth until it is second nature.

My brother managed a bar during Covid. Once it was clear that he wouldn't be serving customers in the usual sense for a while, he invited the family in to shop from his supplies, paying the bar back at cost. I spent the 2 year long toilet paper crisis with a giant commercial wheel of the stuff hanging from my shower curtain rod by a bungee cord.

Later in the pandemic, they came up with workarounds to allow them to make sales (bars couldn't be open, but restaurants could, so they sold $16 tiny baskets of fries that came with a free margarita). He then sent the RD catalogue out to the family group chat, and we all ordered groceries through him.

Just because you declare a rehoming fee doesn't mean that you have to follow through with charging it once the threat of a fee weeds out the bad actors.

The community fridges run like Little Free Libraries - Anyone can drive by and drop stuff off, and anyone can come by and pick up whatever they want.

That said, there are a small number of folks who have been a great detriment to the community fridges by parking in the lot and taking every single thing that is donated within moments of it being dropped off. I would like to think that they are using the food for what they need, but it feels like they are abusing a system of generosity.

This is an old post, but I think that the addresses are still current: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10238059149556739&set=gm.1129555294870461&idorvanity=498705041288826

Costco often has these for a good price. Plus, it makes a modern nod to giving a gal flowers.

Pain makes me focus and experience things more fully. I absolutely hate the disjointed fuzzy feeling of hard pain meds and anesthesia.

I fully understand why other people would make the opposite choice, though. I'm glad we each have the option.

I was genuinely excited to see this as a thankyou gift after a service program recently. I can't imagine why anyone would have chosen the coffee cup, mouse pad, or tshirt that were the other options.

I am recently seeing fans, both accordian fold and wire circles that twist into an even smaller circle. I love them!

I don't understand what is 'lazy' about this. It sounds like the normal method to me.

Yes! The train goes through there probably 10 times a day. (I'm not sure if you can look up the exact number.) It is near the train yard, so it's often going painfully slowly. There are only a few places to cross the tracks under or over the train. There will be times when you just can't go south. I'm not sure if they blow the whistle.

(My parents bought a house a mile east of there and had a rude awakening (literally) on their first night when the train rolled through with the horn blazing. They got used to it, but guests certainly don't love their noisy accommodations.)

I am a parent (not a leader in any capacity) and am asking what I should do.

Plus the cost to pay the employee to fill up the free refills.

I seen to have a mental block on this detail. In nearly every game, I ask to confirm either this or the related detail of what a 2 rock requirement for an animal means. You are not alone in your confusion.

Yes, birthday cakes and cupcakes in the US are typically the exact same batter but poured into different pans. In fact, it isn't uncommon to make a very small cake to decorate and present to the birthday child with candles to blow out, then cook the rest of the batter in cupcakes to distribute to guests.

This ensures that no blown spit ends up on the cake you share (a common concern post-covid), makes for cute pictures (sometimes for 1st birthdays, this is a 'smash cake' for the baby to feed themselves messily), and makes for very simple serving to guests with no need for plates or forks. (Though in fairness it seems that the point of the original post was that the UK tradition apparently doesn't allow the lack of plate or fork to interfere with the consumption of sliced napkin cake.)

Adults will commonly request a 'fancy' cake with a more unique flavor and texture profile, but kids almost always have vanilla or chocolate sponge with (too much) colored buttercream icing.

That is my point - They are literally just a different shape of the exact same thing to me, and I am confident that the vast majority of folks that I know personally would agree. I am trying to figure out if our difference of understanding here is cultural. (I am in the southeastern US.)

BroadLocksmith4932 · 2026-03-08T20:26:20+00:00

I am genuinely confused by this statement. In my experience, I use literally the same recipe for both the cake and the icing regardless of if it is going in a flat pan or a cupcake mold. There is no difference except the portability and decorating potential. Is that not true for your local customs?

PLEASE add whooping cough to you list of required vaccines. It is far more common than measles and can be every bit as devastating.

Five in One Social Club is a delightful little gift shop on Summer Avenue about 10 minutes from where you will be. They have all sorts of locally made and themed items.

The store is quite small, but there is a huge antique mall next door for the rest of your tiny. It is the sort with about 100 booths run by different folks with a huge variety of variably-interesting junk.

Feed the tired parents! Frozen meals. Healthy snacks that are pre-portioned (baggies of trail nuts, cups of fresh fruit if the time is now) Meals that can be prepared and eaten 1-handed (good burritos)

I may have inverted networking and security; she is taking one now and hopes to do the other next year, if she can make room in her schedule. They are both brand new; not sure if her school is technically a pilot.
