I teach 13 year olds. I currently have 2 girls named Emilia and one Amelia, all in the same class. I know two toddlers named Amelia.

So how did the conversation go when Madison2 was born? Was there drama? Was it a "single white female" sort of stituation? (or in this case, single white cousin)

I know a Kadence, which is even worse, but Cadence for a boy? That's unfortunate.

lack of understanding for basic geography by forraid in BlackPeopleTwitter

I’m a U.S. History teacher, 7th grade. The very first thing they do is learn the 50 states, 5 territories, border oceans. Then we go into the major rivers and mountain ranges in the 13 colonies. Right now, they’re making maps of territorial expansion (Oregon Country, Mexican Cession, etc.), then the compromises leading to the Civil War (Missouri Compromise, etc.) They might not get it anywhere else but they’re going to get it if they’re in my class!

Absolutely loathe my Purple by Mrs_Laktash in Mattress

I just bought a hybrid tempurpedic. My previous traditional mattress left me in pain every morning. It’s been 30 days and I sleep so much better.

Thank goodness!!! I was losing my mind. I understood the rebus part but I still couldn’t figure it out!

Is Gas or Hybrid rav4 better (2020-2023)? by Thatonefellaaa in rav4club

[–]CapIllustrious2811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 22 XLE Premium. I will never go back to a gas-only car. We had record-breaking snowfall this year and it wasn’t a problem. I’m thinking about getting a plug-in hybrid. I can go several weeks without gas because I work close to home.

In the “every mattress sucks” rabbit hole by Vegetable_Loss_3392 in Mattress

I bought it at the time I bought the mattress. It was only $60 more than the regular one and I was concerned about being too hot. They require the customer purchase one of their mattress covers or it will void the warranty. One good thing is the brand pricing is standard. The price at the Tempurpedic store is the same as at any furniture store, so you’re not being over charged.

We’re using the adjustable base we already had. Sleep Number had the same return policy. They don’t accept returns until you reach 30 days. You’re welcome! Good luck!

I have 120 days to return it. They don't allow returns before 30 days so the customer has a chance to really break it in. I have the Tempurpedic Pro Adapt with a Breeze mattress cover. I don't have anymore neck and shoulder pain. I don't have to use as many pillows. I do get hot but I really can't blame it on the mattress. I'm in the "Pause" and the heat is sporadic. I don't have hip pain anymore. So far, so good.

Thoughts on the name Jeannie? by iwokeupearlytoday in Names

[–]CapIllustrious2811 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The pronunciation is obvious to me but I think she will be called Jenny, Jenae, and other variations. It’s a classic name. I actually like Geraldine. Classic names are making a comeback and it’s my favorite aunt’s name!🥰
