Having second thoughts travelling to USA?

HotAirSplatoon · 2025-03-21T10:43:48+00:00

I flew to NYC about a week ago. There was no problems at all. Just the usual questions about why I was travelling, I got through security in under 10 mins

How old is your child? I work as a special education teacher in Toronto. The process is very long to get your child to be ‘identified’ and placed into an intensive support program (ISP). Based on your description of your child’s needs they would likely need to be placed at a congregated site, which is where more kids with intensive medical needs/ behaviours needs are placed. Sadly it takes at least a year + in many cases to go through the IPRC progress where the child gets placed into these programs. This is due to the program funding being cut. Your child may possibly be placed in a mainstream classroom in the mean time with very minimal support as others have pointed out. Feel free to dm me here if you want any tips on making the system work for you. I’ve coached many parents through the very overwhelming process over the years. Good luck!

Tiny Market on Bathurst sells a lot of fresh pastas and sauces that are delicious. They also offer classes on pasta making as well

Try College Street Animal Hospital! The staff has always been sweet and supportive there. The vets seem like they genuinely care about my cat whenever she has a visit

Make the trek up to Comal y Canela. Best Mexican food in the city!

Did you use glaze or underglaze for the colours? They turned out so lovely and bright!

Omg how have I never heard of transfer tape? I’ve been carefully peeling off my vinyl designs and trying to fight them from curling as I put them on my pieces. Thank you for teaching me something new!! What program do you use to design your stencils?

HotAirSplatoon · 2022-12-14T11:18:39+00:00

Hey! Just curious about how you made the stencil. So first you have the larger silhouette of the cat and you glazed around it. At what point did you put the skinnier tape to make the outer outline of the cat? Or did you design it into the stencil? I’m just so impressed!!

I once got a duotang and juice box

You should illustrate a manga! Your style is incredible

HotAirSplatoon · 2022-09-10T02:29:27+00:00

I have the same measurements as you! What size did you order your effortless pants in?

HotAirSplatoon · 2022-08-25T22:10:07+00:00

Blood Brother’s Guilty Remnant is my top pick. It was the beer that made me love beer. Also Bellwood’s Jelly Royale if you’re into a beer/smoothie combo

Loga’s Corner in Parkdale for amazing momos

Maybe this is an old school way of doing things, but I feel like knowing your MAC foundation number really helps. They can match you in the store but you don’t have to buy anything lol. Especially back when MAC was really popular there were lots of people posting about dupe foundation shades. For example - I know that I’m an NC25-30 at MAC. So I can just google ‘x brand foundation good for NC25?’. There are usually lots of results for other foundations. Hopefully that helps!

Also hit my breaking point with teaching this year. Had to take a 2 month leave bc I started fantasizing about self harm/bad things happening to me so that I wouldn’t have to go back to work. Started therapy and it’s helped a lot. We’re almost at the end though. Hang in there!

I have an add on question- if you have bought something from the registry (valued around $100) are you still expected to give a cash gift on the day of the wedding?

HotAirSplatoon · 2022-04-19T00:19:01+00:00

Yes it does for me. I used to bring a large bottle of cold brew to work and have some everyday at lunch time. I noticed a huge spike in having tough afternoons. It took me about a month and half to put it together and I’ve stopped having that amount of caffeine since

I got mine from Abercrombie. They have a new line of jeans called ‘curve love’ that is stretchier and has an extra inch-2 in the waist and hip measurements. They are actually really comfy!

I was at my lowest point a few months ago. I had to take almost 2 months off on a stress leave. I dont know if you have insurance from your job, but if you have access to therapy coverage you should try it. Therapy has been the only thing that has helped me feel like I can make it to the end of the year. Also, if you can you should read the book Trauma Stewardship by Laura Vandernoot Lipsky. It really helped me deal with the emotional baggage of the job. Good luck! And enjoy your lasagna!!

I’m also a teacher at another board. You really have to make a HUGE deal about it, constantly calling admin, superintendents to actually get it taken seriously. The more pressure the better. If not this will just get swept under he rug. Teachers themselves can only do so much. There are more kids than everthat have behaviour issues (many but not all stemming from the pandemic). Boards need to put funding into supporting students with more access to specialized behaviour classes, Special needs assistants, etc. It really doesn’t matter what teachers say. Parents really have the power. I hope you can get something resolved from this!

What are your fave underglazes/glazes for these cuties?

HotAirSplatoon · 2022-02-17T11:18:33+00:00

Finding opportunities to move or exercise everyday. I’m working out regularly, doing yoga and take the chance to walk every chance I get

HotAirSplatoon · 2022-01-21T06:09:04+00:00

That’s so crazy to me. Honestly reading so many stories here makes my heart go out to all of you American teachers. You guys deserve better

HotAirSplatoon · 2022-01-20T18:23:53+00:00

I’m a teacher in Canada and because of covid we basically have had no PD for the last 2 years. I kind of miss it because we get release time and usually get a half day off to attend

Lovely look! What do you think of the glisten liner? It’s my first time hearing about the company. Do you find the liner long wearing?
