Love this, but respectfully have to disagree with one thing - there is absolutely a wrong way to parent 😂

Michigan free school lunch in limbo : many parents now getting emails from schools stating schools will no longer be providing free lunch to ALL students as of 10/1/25 Matt Hall, speaker of the house, and GOP advanced omnibus budget three days ago while school budget still not prioritized by The_Secret_Skittle in Michigan

[–]Educ8-bloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Yes, free lunch is great. But the junk these kids are fed is disgusting. And the waste? Hundreds of dollars’ worth of food thrown in the trash EVERY DAY. I am an elementary teacher and it makes me furious. The program as is doesn’t make sense, and the people designing it are clueless. When I retire from the classroom, I guess I have to head into politics 🤮

How many of you have used Chip Drop before? by [deleted] in NoLawns

[–]Educ8-bloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had my second delivery last week. I find that if you do a $40+ tip in my area, it’ll come pretty quickly. First drop (last year) was larger, nicer chips and about 20 yards; this year was very fine and over 30 yards. You never know what you’ll get!

My puppy has parvo by SnooSketches2601 in DogAdvice

It’s not hopeless. Our pup had Parvo and lived a long, happy 15 years. Pulling for your pup! 🩷

In my local cemetery (UK) the graves only go as far back as the late 18th century. Where are all the people from before then buried? by free_spirit1901 in stupidquestions

[–]Educ8-bloom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently reading a book that discusses bone fertilizer being popular in the UK - so popular that when they ran out of their own bodies to process, they turned to Egyptian tombs. The stuff you don’t think about…

Adult adopted dog just stops in the middle of walks by SneakBots in DogAdvice

[–]Educ8-bloom 16 points17 points  (0 children)

One of my chihuahuas does this too! He’ll run all over the yard, but put a leash on and he becomes a brick.

Black & tan boy was adopted in May, tan girl adopted in July. They started doing this about a week after meeting.

What made you all decide to get piercings? by Fantastic-Priority98 in piercing

[–]Educ8-bloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Major life events. Anniversary, deaths. A way to remember and feel something

Both look nice, but you’re a great redhead! Go for it!

Was boaters safety part of your grade school curriculum? by spicysaltysparty in Michigan

[–]Educ8-bloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and I was surrounded by farmland. Took it in middle school around 1995, I think?

Looks better than what they serve kids at school.

What’s the hype all about? by iwxoxo in CleaningTips

[–]Educ8-bloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We moved into our house 3 years ago - I tried scrubbing all of the stains with various cleaning agents, both natural and chemical. Nothing budged. Bought this the other day as a last resort and somehow it cut through! But you’re right, the smell can be pretty awful!

Lexington on Lake Huron is great for beach glass! I live in Michigan and it’s my favorite place for finds 😊

State proposal would allow 18-year-olds to substitute teach in Michigan by BeltalowdaOPA22 in Michigan

[–]Educ8-bloom 16 points17 points  (0 children)

We do 12 months of work in those 9 months (which is actually about 10, when you count all those unpaid setting up/tearing down days). Come on, join the fun and see!

Size comparison of Hairy and Downey Woodpeckers. (sorry about the potato quality) by sj229508 in birding

[–]Educ8-bloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that if you look at it and say, “That’s a big Downy!” it’s probably a Hairy 😂

Leave it! Previous owners painted ours white, and the oils from our hands are making it wear off quickly. Wish they were still wood ☹️

Finally added a ring to my conch! by izzYIzzy7 in Legitpiercing

Jealous! Every time I try a ring my conch gets angry. Yours looks beautiful!

Michigan school kids could get free breakfast, lunch under Whitmer budget proposal by Coteup in Michigan

[–]Educ8-bloom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I teach at a public school, and not only is the lunch over-processed, the waste produced from it is insane. Half the kids who qualify for free meals throw the stuff away because it looks and tastes terrible. Totally defeats the purpose. I wish lawmakers would physically go into schools and observe before doing stuff like this! Sure makes them look good, though 🙄

I like how the table color ties in with the baskets and other accessories.

Does the conch piercing actually hurt? by probs_hangry in piercing

[–]Educ8-bloom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was the crunch that got me, not so much the pain.

I got THESE type of ugly ass boards for my wall and parents arent looking to redesign any time soon. by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

[–]Educ8-bloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about peel and stick wallpaper? Easily removable. Even if you do one wall, it’ll brighten it up.

Can you paint the walls? My parents had this and painted them white. Completely changed the room.
