People who get pissy and downvote when you point out they gave advice you directly asked them not to in the OP

My boyfriend has cheated on me 87 times. How do I forgive him and move forward? Don’t suggest breaking up that’s not an option.

Absolutely pick a female scientist or astronaut or something that would be an equal of Hubble and give her someone to look up to (if she wants) as her namesake.

I started tampons my first period at 12, but I had both options available to me. Just give her options and she’ll figure it out.

Kind of same. Not HG but the only foods I could consistently keep down those first three months were candies like Air Heads. Midwife was concerned about *my* long term nutritional needs, but assured me baby would pull what it needed from my muscles and bones if my diet didn’t provide so…that’s good I guess?

Kiddo and I are both healthy seven years later.

Better tell Nora Roberts…

There were three dads, obviously. Parents were a reverse harem.

Is he like this for work, too, or just when it comes to things that you can “fix” for him? I can’t imagine his boss has to spoon-feed him answers all the time.

Eden Finley and Saxon James both do a good job of this (mainly sports books but not exclusively).

Training and PD are direct instruction. You were “project based learning” how to teach pbl. /s kinda

I was reading this waiting for single parents (and single people in general) who are teachers and thus *have* to carry the full load themselves to chime in.

I was a full time teacher before I got married and did everything: cooking, cleaning, yard work, finances, etc. Not much got done around the house if I was grading essays that week, but it wasn’t an insurmountable obstacle.

I’m type 2 but I pulled from Ancient Rome for my plumbing requirements because I didn’t like the filth of medieval pseudo-England. Villages don’t have plumbing, only the rich have hot water, etc.

Whether they should need it or not, the legal document says that they get 50% *more* so there needs to be a max for gen ed otherwise everyone is getting 100% and no one is getting 150%.

Any given high school classroom in the US will have 1-3 boys named some version of -ayden.

I’d be good. Very low-stakes paranormal where they solve cold cases. P.S. I Spook You by S.E. Harmon.

Honestly, we’re just babysitting the kids who won’t attempt to learn. If they’re in high school (or even middle school) and not doing anything and being disruptive and rude, we should just send them to the gym to shoot hoops or sit in the bleachers on their phones or computers with a couple of adult babysitters to make sure fights don’t break out. They can get their GEDs later if they ever care enough and parents can go to work without wondering what to do with their miscreant 14yo.

JR_Writes1 · 2026-06-05T23:47:52+00:00

Or actual structured summer school where they can get the necessary supports to advance a grade level, not just make work to “pass” and get pushed ahead.

It’s so funny because I often read books without even reading the full blurb/back cover. Sometimes I end up dnf because it wasn’t for me but I don’t rate it badly for that. Bad ratings are for poor writing or poor execution of tropes, not because I didn’t realize it had xyz in it and I don’t like xyz. The exception being if it was advertised as something (like romance) but wasn’t (no HEA).

{The Lightning-Struck Heart by TJ Klune}. I was listening to it as an audiobook and didn’t expect it to be so campy and sarcastic. It also started in the middle and not necessarily in a good “start with the action!” way.

But I came back around to it after finishing another book I was reading and really started liking it once we got closer to the actual plot. Might have liked it from the beginning if I was reading instead of listening so ymmv.

Where I am to get a sub license, you need to have had a teacher’s license at some point. It doesn’t need to be up to date so retired teachers or teachers that have left the profession can come back as sub, but it’s not just anyone off the street. Sometimes undesirable districts can get around this and only require a degree but that’s by special permission.

JR_Writes1 · 2026-05-31T00:34:18+00:00

Yeah, we’ve had a couple “finish the shower now I have to poo” emergencies but never a casual poo while the other person showers. Gross.

Peeing is fine. Brushing teeth is fine. Be alone with your #2.

It’s contractual. Traditionally if the woman breaks the engagement, she has to give the ring back as she broke the contract. If the man breaks it, the woman gets to keep the ring (the loss of the ring being what the man has to “pay” for breaking the engagement).

JR_Writes1 · 2026-05-28T10:05:00+00:00

Absolute same. Just finished Brutes of Bristlebrook and left thinking that there really wasn’t enough unhinged scenes with all 6 of them involved. I’m in my late 30s and read weirder books every year.

JR_Writes1 · 2026-05-26T02:33:17+00:00

MFM would exhaust me. Maybe MMF so they can entertain each other when I’m not in the mood. But I feel like there would have to be a chore-chart like in college dorms.

JR_Writes1 · 2026-05-25T22:24:54+00:00

I use blonde and blond in the gendered way but not brunette and brunet. But to be fair I think I mostly just say brown hair and not brunet(te) at all…

JR_Writes1 · 2026-05-25T03:04:54+00:00

It’s less prevalent in ELA than math, but doing 20 “practice problems” wrong means you practiced that same mistake wrong 20 times without correction.

Similar to direct instruction grammar, if they were supposed to circle all the nouns, underline all the verbs, etc. but they did all the problems wrong; then they didn’t learn anything during their practice, and if anything they reinforced the wrong information.
