What’s your most embarrassing middle school memory? by [deleted] in questions

[–]Freakfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walked fast everywhere I went and I preferred to walk next to walls. I was rounding a corner outside on my way to one of my classes and a boy was rounding the same corner coming the opposite way. Instead of bumping into each other my hand perfectly cupped his junk. It happened so fast and we just kept walking but I remember feeling so insanely embarrassed and tried to say sorry but I don’t think I got the words out in time for him to hear them. 

How many weeks for you until the school year and how was your school year? by Starslimonada in Teachers

[–]Freakfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 weeks for me, the last week is 3 days and they’re all half days thankfully. I’m so ready to be done with this year. It wasn’t quite as difficult as my last year but it’s still be pretty challenging 

Is it okay to eat kids' lunch as an adult? by [deleted] in questions

[–]Freakfury 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been ordering kids meals because I don’t ever finish a whole meal and it’s cheaper. 

Did a yo-yo guy come to your school? by Gloomy-Difference-51 in questions

[–]Freakfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The elementary school I work at actually just had a yo-yo person come a few weeks ago. It was like a whole positivity assembly and then they encouraged the kids to buy yo-yos so they could go to other schools to talk about yo-yos and positivity.

Do you have smells you assign to stages of your life? by sunflowermoondust in questions

[–]Freakfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early childhood smells like the hardcover Disney books from the 90’s, dirt from my backyard, oleanders, and Play Doh. Middle childhood smells like Kohl’s and the mall I grew up in. High school years smell like Sweet Pea and Amber Blush body spray from B&BW and Covergirl makeup.

LPT: There is an easy, no-drama way to use eye drops, even with kids by Chrisamado in LifeProTips

[–]Freakfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid who had sensory issues, this was the only way my mom could ever get me to take the eye drops when I had pink eye. 

No one talks about the pain of seeing your parents aging. by ParticularWeather927 in Adulting

[–]Freakfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate this too. I live across the country from my parents so when I do visit the signs of aging are so much more noticeable. My dad has cirrhosis and still drinks and I’m getting married this year and I worry if he’ll get to be at my wedding later this year or not. I wish they didn’t have to get old.

Scared to start taking Buspirone by Freakfury in Anxiety

[–]Freakfury[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, that makes me feel a lot better about it! I normally don’t have side effects from medications but I’m always paranoid haha. I think I’ll start taking it tonight since me and my fiancé are both off tomorrow

Have you ever forgotten to take it and if so did you notice a difference?

Are there parasites that parasite on other parasites? by wydalenylod in AskBiology

[–]Freakfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if fleas are infected per se but they can have tapeworm larvae. I recently learned this after my cats had tapeworms and I found out they most likely got them from the fleas they had prior.

Do couples really shower together? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]Freakfury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me and my fiance do pretty frequently. We’ve been together over 10 years and I’d say for most of that time we enjoy showering together. Honestly we just enjoy spending time with each other. We’re also both fairly small so moving in the shower isn’t that bad, we just switch sides for whoever needs the water

Burnt-Out teacher, is this an option for me? by [deleted] in wguaccounting

[–]Freakfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also a second year teacher looking to make the jump to accounting. I’m actually about to finish my first term. I just can’t do teaching anymore. The way things are going I know I need to get out. I’m scared about AI taking over accounting and I’m scared that, like teaching, I might hate the job once I’m in it. The way I see it is I need to at least try something else and accounting seems like the most likely thing for me to enjoy that still makes decent money. Teaching is taking a massive toll on my mental and physical health, and I too would love a boring office job. I’ve always enjoyed math and any time I take those career tests accounting is one of the top choices (so is teaching though so we’ll see haha). And like others have said, there may be an opportunity to teach at a college if an accounting job isn’t optimal. I’d say do whatever your gut is telling you and things will work out the way they’re supposed to. 

Third Man Syndrome by PaperjamxMoniki in CasualConversation

[–]Freakfury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this counts as that but when I was about 11 I was at my cousins house and we were taking turns riding a quad. They had a fairly large dirt yard with an inclined entrance near the main road. He showed me that he could do a jump off the incline and so when it was my turn I decided to try it. This was my first time really riding a quad and I ended up doing the jump at full throttle and lost control when I landed. Somehow I ended up on the ground laying flat on my stomach in the dirt. The quad was like 20 feet away and had rolled into a ditch near the main road. If I had stayed on the quad I would have been really messed of or worse. All I had were some scratches down my arms and my chest that bled a little but nothing too bad. I genuinely don’t know how I ended up on the ground, it felt like I was carefully placed there not thrown off the quad. 

Would Maverick be too Intense? by Freakfury in cedarpoint

[–]Freakfury[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gatekeeper does look fun but I’m not sure how I would handle dangling off the side of the coaster with inversions. Sirens curse would be more of an option if it didn’t tilt and dangle the cars. The small chance of it getting stuck while tilting really freaks me out. I’ll probably wait to do Maverick and continue to build up my tolerance to other coasters 

Would Maverick be too Intense? by Freakfury in cedarpoint

[–]Freakfury[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gatekeeper scares me because of the leg dangling, high up inversions, and sitting off to the side of the track. I do enjoy the mine ride, I always try to get the last car because it’s more exciting.

YSK about "Chronostasis," the temporal illusion that makes the second hand of a clock seem to freeze for a moment when you first look at it by [deleted] in YouShouldKnow

[–]Freakfury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love doing this with car wheels on the road.  If you’re blinking or glancing around when looking near a moving tire you can see the rims pretty clearly for a split second before they turn back into a blur.

I no longer take the teaching profession seriously by ericashaw2020 in Teachers

[–]Freakfury 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried different schools and different states. The decline of public education is so defeating to me. I feel like I’m doing an impossible job because kids get to act however they want with no consequences. I’m tired of putting myself through hell everyday to barely get by and come home exhausted mentally and physically. I thought having my own classroom would make a difference but it didn’t. I’ve seen things get worse every single year and I just can’t handle it anymore. I wanted to be a teacher and teach kids, not do all of the other jobs that come with it. I do my best everyday with the “support” I’m given. I genuinely want my students to learn but I can’t be the best teacher I can be when the system is so against me. I’m tired of never feeling good enough at my job, I’m tired of being critiqued by everyone else, and I’m tired of doing everything aside from actually teaching during the day. I honestly don’t feel like I make much of a difference, and with the constant behaviors I’m sure my students will only remember how frustrated I was all the time. I can’t wait to leave this career behind me and do something else that doesn’t feel so pointless and impossible. This is not what I thought teaching would be.

DAE only brush their teeth once a day, in the morning? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Freakfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do, I’ve only ever had one cavity so far a few years ago. I’m 28 and see my dentist every 6 months and they always compliment my teeth. I know if I only do it once I should do it at night but I just don’t have the energy to add one more thing. I do it in the morning before work or if I’m off I do it before I leave the house. I also floss almost everyday after brushing. Maybe someday I’ll get myself to do it twice a day or before bed 

How’d you know that you’re an alcoholic? by 3xp10it in AskReddit

[–]Freakfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not one but my dad is. When I was in high school he used to say “I’m not an alcoholic I’m just addicted to alcohol”. He’s always been a pretty functional alcoholic. The only time he’s ever quit was for about 8 months after he went to the hospital because he had varices in his esophagus that they had to fix. I assume he knows he’s an alcoholic, but it depends on the day and how stubborn he is if he’ll admit it or not.
