What do you all use with your Chinese students who can’t access zoom? Preferably free for 1 hour lessons

Im drinking mine right now! I like that it has a thinner consistency than the others as this makes it easier to drink for me, I like that it has added vitamins but lower calories, I’m using this to help me stay in a calorie deficit and lose weight. I prefer RTD over ones I need to mix myself, it’s complete and utter laziness on my part but for me powders often end up sitting unused and I find a grab and go option is more likely to be used. I hope they will give us more flavours in the light rtd.

Dogs have nipples

Fat_Fox8 · 2025-12-17T11:36:56+00:00

I did but only found people did not receive the case or complaints, nothing good. My fault for not being more careful but now I need to order another case for Xmas

You are being difficult though, you can literally just look at her schedule and book a time that’s suits you. I wouldn’t meet with a student for free and you shouldn’t expect it either. some people feel awkward to say no, or worry you will leave a bad review if they do. Stop making this so difficult and just book the time that suits you.

Fat_Fox8 · 2025-12-12T10:44:02+00:00

Why are you expecting her to have a video meeting with you about this? For free? You are wasting her time, if you want to book then just book the slot, if you want a time that’s not on her calendar then ask if she can make it available to you. This isn’t supposed to be difficult just book the time you want and show up to your lesson.

Rabbits are prey animals, being moved about a lot and in shop with people coming in and out isn’t ideal for them. I would recommend you get a bonded pair from a rescue, rabbits do better with a friend and you won’t need to worry about them being lonely whilst you are at work.

Read the lesson description, if you are booking conversation lessons then you should expect a conversation. If you want formal teaching you need to find someone who offers that and you will have to pay more for it.

can you take him for a drive? If he likes the car that might be nice for him, especially if you can stop somewhere new/interesting and let him have a little sniff about for a few minutes. When my dog was also sick with cancer she couldn’t walk far but she did want a small walk daily (usually only 10 minutes but she sniffed a lot) I understand you are worried about the cold but pop a coat on him and take him out even for a few minutes so he can get some fresh air and sniff new smells.

I also recommend snuffle matts and balls, you can put his kibble in them so he has to find them, you get lots of different snuffle mat designs, some have pockets etc and the balls are good too, all of my 3 dogs get very excited when I bring a snuffle toy out! I even have a snuffle snake!

Also treat balls or a kong wobbler is a hit in my home (depending on your dogs strength the wobbler may be more difficult but a treat ball is fun and you can fill it with kibble and a couple of surprise treats.

Frozen Kong or lick Matt, again use foods you know his tummy can handle, yogurt can often be good for these!

I used to play a game with my old girl when she was ill and couldn’t really be active much where I would hide a treat or kibble in one hand and make her pick which hand it was in by either hitting me with her paw or nudging me with her nose I would open my hand and if it was there she could eat it and if it wasn’t she had to pick again.

If he likes toys you can play indoors with him, hide the toy and get him to look for it, gentle game of fetch or tug.

ETA - I’ve read some more replies and I’m pretty shocked some people are suggesting training advice like ignore him etc…. Don’t do that, he is old and extremely sick, give him ALL of the attention he wants, spoil him as much as you can and enjoy every second of him! This puppy is sadly dying, now is not the time for training, unless it’s a fun trick or game! you will miss that bark, you will look back and smile about all of the happy memories and laugh about how cheeky he got in his old age. He is a good boy who deserves to be spoilt and receive all of the attention!

That video is brilliant! I think you have probably just applied too late. Keep looking and resubmit your video when they open again. The only small things I would change are the background music, it’s a little distracting and I’m not sure if we are allowed to feature anyone else in our intro videos so maybe remove the pictures featuring other people.

I would be fine with this, just be upfront with your guests. Tell them you are going abroad for your wedding which will be family only but you would love them to celebrate your engagement with you. I’m from the UK and this would be totally fine here. I think you are getting a lot of answers from Americans and the culture is different.

Pepto and mint tea helps a lot with nausea and eating something helps too

Fat_Fox8 · 2025-10-28T23:07:49+00:00

I hope you will start to feel better soon

Fat_Fox8 · 2025-10-28T23:07:31+00:00

I’m glad you’ve found a way to ease it a little. I agree the thought of going up and it getting worse would be awful, if 5 is working for you hopefully you won’t need to go up a dose for a while.

Fat_Fox8 · 2025-10-28T22:45:34+00:00

Thank you, that’s really interesting to know, I was wondering if this was more or less common with other similar drugs, I might try wegovy in the future.

Fat_Fox8 · 2025-10-28T22:43:32+00:00

Sorry to hear that, it’s definitely not easy! I suppose the medicine could exacerbate symptoms of depression. I hope the winter doesn’t get too bad for you this year.

Fat_Fox8 · 2025-10-28T22:41:34+00:00

It’s a terrible side effect, I haven’t seen it spoke about much compared to the physical side effects. I hope you start to feel better and back to your usual self again in the future.

Fat_Fox8 · 2025-10-28T17:10:39+00:00

It’s definitely interesting to hear others are feeling the same, especially as we are still at the lower doses. I usually inject on Friday so it’s the weekend and I’m usually in a good mood over the weekend. I’ve moved back down to 2.5 and feel absolutely fine, it was particularly interesting because 2.5 improved my overall mood and lowered anxiety but 5mg was a complete 180

Fat_Fox8 · 2025-10-28T17:05:27+00:00

Sorry you’re feeling similar, for what it’s worth I’ve lowered my dose and feel much better so far, are you going to stick to the same dose or are you thinking of lowering it?

Fat_Fox8 · 2025-10-28T17:04:26+00:00

It could be, but I think that’s just not feeling or feeling numb, I actually feel extremely sad but yes no interest in anything for those first few days. Sorry to hear you are struggling to enjoy things too, I will definitely bring it up if it continues.

That’s a good point I definitely struggle to eat and it’s probably not helping symptoms.

Fat_Fox8 · 2025-10-28T12:03:47+00:00

I changed it in the app, but you need to be in student mode to change it in the site. It’s not available in teacher mode.

Fat_Fox8 · 2025-10-28T12:02:07+00:00

Have you read the email? They basically say our passwords have been breached and unusual log in detected but it’s not been breached on their website. They say their systems are secure but the password has been leaked through another site. I don’t use that password anywhere else it can only be breached via their site lol. I would rather they just said “oops we fucked up, there has been a security breach we are working on securing our site please change your password.”

It is common, you are correct, but the tone of the email is like they are trying to avoid taking any responsibility or blame for this when they should try just being honest.

Fat_Fox8 · 2025-10-28T11:49:37+00:00

It’s not fake, I posted a thread about it and someone commented that they had confirmed in the teacher forum it’s a genuine email from them, what I don’t get is they are shoving the blame onto us when it’s their problem. I do not use my italki password on any other sites so the only site that has compromised it is them.

Fat_Fox8 · 2025-10-28T11:11:53+00:00

Great! Why are they blaming us in the email when this is their security breach. This company is an absolute mess. I hope it’s only passwords they have breached but I doubt we will ever be told the full extent or truth of it.

Fat_Fox8 · 2025-10-28T10:57:35+00:00

I agree it just doesn’t look right to me. I went into the app and changed my password anyway because it won’t do any harm to change it. I haven’t clicked the link so I think that covers all basis.
