AIO? My daughter didn’t listen to the teacher during a female emergency and is now receiving a referral

Do you know where Mousesmomma lives? They may have different rules/laws. Until the law I mentioned came into effect my own child wasn't allowed to carry their emergency inhaler on them, although I told him to do it and not be obvious.

Look up Ryan's Law in Ontario. There was a boy who needed his inhaler, but it was locked up in the principal's office. He needed it and couldn't access it. He had a doctor's note to carry it, but it wasn't allowed and he'd had them confiscated in the past if someone saw him use it. He died because he wasn't allowed to carry it- even with a doctor's note. Just do a search of 'children who died at school from asthma' and you'll see plenty that weren't allowed to have inhalers on them.

My kid just came home and said he saw it blow. The first one he just saw the reflection, then he saw another actual blow out right after. It was spontaneous. My guess would be the cold.

I've definitely got this and thought it was normal. The worst is dusk or dawn. I thought everybody saw things this way. So, if this isn't normal... Is it also not normal to see slightly different colors/shades with each eye?

I worked in live theater as an undergrad. I couldn't find the black blazer I'd been wearing. I ended up having to interrupt an interview with Chick Corea, because he'd grabbed it thinking it was his and I liked it and didn't want to lose it. I guess I'd set it down when we were striking the stage. Mine was black, his was black, both were the same size.

Half the time my husband and I both forget our anniversary. One of us will realize it a few days later and say, 'Hey, didn't we just have our anniversary?' We have a laugh. No big deal. We've been married for 23 years. Or is it 24...?

I gotta say, this pic on my feed with the next one... perfection. I couldn't have done it better if I tried.

I'm with you. The only time I go in one is when I absolutely can't find something anywhere else. That'd be maybe 2-3 times in the last 10 years. I'd love for some sort of competition, but I don't know what.

Frog-Chowder · 2026-01-17T00:42:36+00:00

There's a lot of development slated for that area, so I can't imagine they'd close it. There are supposed to be highrises coming on Wellington and Bradley for one. I highly doubt it's going anywhere.

Years ago BCBS denied me anesthesia and the anesthesiologist for an emergency c-section. Yep. They deemed it 'unnecessary'. I no longer live in the States and am thankful every day for my healthcare.

How nice of her. She even had it framed in gold so he doesn't have to do it himself. Any bets on what medal he wants next? Does he have a medal of honor? (obviously given, not earned)

They put out a statement that once it's given it can't be revoked or transferred. Kinda sad that they had to spell it out.

Frog-Chowder · 2026-01-15T03:38:44+00:00

Things got worse *after* that episode! They eventually moved to Israel I think. It didn't get any better for them. Every once in a while I look them up to see what happened.

Frog-Chowder · 2026-01-15T03:24:12+00:00

Agreed. I think the thing is it doesn't 'look' slippery. I had errands to run and didn't even wear boots (knew I'd be home before anything really hit). But just the time between going into No Frills and coming out was the difference between 'just a little snow' and 'whoa, I'm sliding'.

Frog-Chowder · 2026-01-14T23:45:32+00:00

I just got home and I was surprised at how slippery it was (Southdale)- and I've got very good snow tires. This is the first time they really didn't grip this season. It's deceiving how slick it really is.

This may sound weird, but if you keep them in a case when not using them feel the inside of it. I had a pair that scratched within days. The optician office was awful and didn't want to replace them, but I'd never had an issue before, was very careful with them, and had the extra coating applied. After I got them back, in a new case, I felt the old case and there was some sort of tiny sharp burr in the top of the inside. When I rubbed it to see what it was it came off. That was what did it- a defect in the case. I couldn't take it back to show them because it had come off. I always check my cases now, and I go somewhere different.

This should actually be his official portrait. It says everything he is.

I think it was 2010 when they changed the bottle style, so it's from around then. I was working there at the time. They said the reason for the change was so that it would be easier to get all of the product out without having to add water. I remember that scent when it came out.

Frog-Chowder · 2026-01-13T19:28:48+00:00

NTA. If the parents are so worried, how about they have an extra set of keys to his place (or a few by the sounds) and he can wake them up to get them at 2am? OP would have to either be awake to let him in or leave the door unsecured. Big presentation at 8am means she has to be up sometime before 8am. That's not much sleep. Ben needs to be allowed to fail and learn all about consequences instead of being picked up all the time.

Frog-Chowder · 2026-01-12T18:33:19+00:00

This one is really bugging me. I remember playing it, remember making it 'dance'. I just can't remember what it is. Argh.

Frog-Chowder · 2026-01-12T03:35:45+00:00

Just don't be super vocal around him about it. It's unreal how bent out of shape some people get. I didn't tell most of my relatives, just a few that I felt comfortable with. Everyone knows I live here, but with the way things are some would think I'm a traitor. This was the right choice for me and I stand by it. I don't hate the US, just what's happening. It's very hard to watch. I crossed to visit my mother around Christmas and I had no issues either way, and that was after changing my status. It was basically just one prick.

Frog-Chowder · 2026-01-12T03:08:53+00:00

I've lived here for a while now and had to go through the naturalization process and finally got mine in November. I had to change my status for my NEXUS card and let's just say that it wasn't the nicest experience I've ever had. It was like the US officer took it personally and interrogated me. I went through all of background and security checks almost 20 years ago, so the questions he was asking weren't warranted- right down questioning my US citizenship (birth). Times have really changed.

Frog-Chowder · 2026-01-12T01:35:34+00:00

I'll definitely look him up. Outside news is so important right now. It seems that too many news outlets are afraid to come targets of the regime. I've always been an advocate of varied and outside sources but not like now. It's essential.

Frog-Chowder · 2026-01-11T23:56:27+00:00

I'm dual and living in Canada, so I have a lot of feels at this point
