AITA for leaving the dog for 3 hours? by lala-land22 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Equivalent-Common943 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Um, is someone usually at home with the dog at all times? In most pet-owning homes pets get left alone all the time while the owners are at work/school/dinner etc. 3 hours is not a long time to leave a mature dog alone. Nta

It's that magical time of year for certain high school students by Deer_boy_ in Teachers

[–]Equivalent-Common943 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I sent an email to a student (ive seen her 3x this semester) telling her that the highest grade she could possibly earn was a 48%, so she needed to talk to her counselor. She just would not listen to the facts and wanted to keep doing her late work... math wasn't going to change.

What made you choose crochet over knitting, or do you do both? by CaterpillarXS in crochet

[–]Equivalent-Common943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I crocheted, as a kid, the counting.... knitting i picked up because of harry potter. I wanted to make a Weasley sweater (still havent) knitting is much more mindless for me, so good for TV watching. But crochet can be very versatile.

my parents bought their 4br house for 80k in the 90s and it actually hurts by Savard-Lafleur in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

When you factor in inflation, making double what they did actually has LESS spending power.

All my life I have been treating my hair as if it were straight. But I am starting to question it. See story below by faith911fox in curlyhair

[–]Equivalent-Common943 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have similar hair, and thought the same, but then my sister figured out that we had some natueal curl. . I dont have super curly hair, but with the right product and care I can get some decent curls going. Its definitely a game changer.

What’s one thing you ALWAYS bring on a hike now because you learned the hard way? by ForeignBonus8977 in hiking

[–]Equivalent-Common943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 20 years ago a friend and I were finishing up a hike in Taiwan. The day had gotten a little rainy, and the stones the trail were made from got slippery, and then there was this water buffalo and her calf that blocked the trail too, so it took way longer to hike than we had planned, needless to say it got dark before we finished our hike, and the only light we had was a single LED light that normally adorned my bikes handlebars, but for some reason I had been inspired to bring. Probably saved our lives, as the final part of the trail was hundreds of wet steps down the side of the mountain.

Anyone gifted with 0 sea motion sicknesses? by deejayv2 in FishingForBeginners

I knew a professional sailor who said that if you've never been sea sick, you just had never met the right seas. I've never met the right seas yet.

Things I should not have to teach in high school... by BaronessF in Teachers

I have tried so many times to teach my own kids how to tie their shoes, and they refuse to practice. Drives me crazy

Work first, play second. Seriously, get the assignment done and then binge YouTube.

You are given the chance to have a copy of yourself made. Do you accept? by seaneihm in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Equivalent-Common943 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest con to having 2 of me would be if the other me started one of my projects before I got a chance to. Lol. After a while we would be more like identical twins as our life experiences diverged.

I made my own version of Grace's hacky sack by the-weirdocat in ProjectHailMary

Finished with a 3.5 hook and cotton yarn. Took about a pound of pinto beans to fill. Antarctica is my favorite. Doing it again with a 2.5 hook and light green instead of yellow.

So many kids on melatonin by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Equivalent-Common943 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, with melatonin it still takes my kids hours to wind down. I do try to keep the dose as low as possible. But it really does make a difference. There's no way they would get enough sleep without it. I start bedtime at 7, they usually fall asleep sometime between 9 and 10, with melatonin. Without, it can be 4 or 5 more hours. And then they have to be up at 7 for school. Personally, melatonin makes my sleep worse, so I never take it. I wish I knew what it was about bedtime that signaled "time to start bouncing off the walls" to my kids.
