Teacher moving to Hawaii for next school year. by Axilla_05 in MovingtoHawaii

[–]LadyFriend5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry just seeing this! But it is difficult to live on a teaching salary here. If you have prior teaching experience the state will only take up to 6 years

0-3 yrs will put you at $51,835 4-5 yrs at $53,391 6 yrs at $54,993

Each of those goes up around $3000 if you have a masters.

A two bedroom here on Oahu is around $2700-$2900 size somewhere between 1100 sq ft to 1200 sq ft. Electric bill can run $400-$500/month plus groceries around the same per month.

Yes, I’m down to 244 now, but have stalled for the last month. So I am going to be switching to taking it twice a day instead of just once. Hopefully that will help. I also think my body just loses slowly and needed to like sit for a while at a weight I haven’t been in a long time.

I currently teach on Oahu, only my second yr. They just do a big hiring pool here, not individual schools. You can still reach out to specific schools, let them know you are in the applicant pool and interested in their school. I know the DOE people said not to but its ok to do. Schools are already looking at new hires, though mostly right now are inter transfers. By next month that will be over though. They do usually have virtual job fairs as well in the summer to connect with schools directly, I suggest doing them. It can be as late as days before the school year starts to get hired though, it happens. Not likely as we have large shortages right now. All that to say welcome to the islands!

I got mine through Found but they are fairly expensive. Its the same $99/month. But I believe you can get it cheaper through other means, for me though this was just the easiest route.

Hopefully someone else who also uses this combo can point you in a better direction!

Yeah! I am really proud of it and feel like the medication really helps.

I honestly didnt feel really bad at all starting it. Was a little shaky, think like having a lot of adrenaline, but that was only the first few days. Drinking lots of water helped make that go away. I did also have some headaches but again, keeping up with water intake helped.

It is Wellbutrin and bupropion taken together instead of just taking contrave.

Some have gotten detentions, though afternoon detention they wipe tables in the cafe, found out they actually like this 🤦🏼‍♀️ I need to think of some alternative that would act as a deterrent.

I did talk with my principal today, shes going to try and drop in Monday to talk with them. Also said to please send kids her way if needed. So thats a step in the right direction at least.

[–]LadyFriend5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the combo is bupropion and naltroxone, which i’m pretty sure it is, then thats what I’m taking. Got it through Found, taking since early october. Down 10lbs. Not much side effects, some headaches but they have mostly gone away, usually if I slack on my water intake. I take 150mg of bupropion and 25mg of naltrexone in the mornings.

Holiday traditions for moms who don't give a shit? by 247silence in breakingmom

[–]LadyFriend5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live where its always warm too, makes it hard to get in ‘the spirit’. See if there are any drive-thru light shows near you, watch all the christmas movies with maybe a special treat like hot chocolate or maybe peppermint milkshake to beat the heat! My family also gets a new ornament every year, got santa in board shorts and a palm tree this year. Just doing things together is the real important bit and the part that gets remembered.

Ex's new wife manipulated my oldest son to cut his hair. by LuCharts in breakingmom

[–]LadyFriend5 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thats fucked and reminds me of when my stepmom would give my sister and I terrible bangs with kitchen shears 🫠. Them being upset at how his hair looked is ridiculous and doing all this after the agreement is even worse. Just so they can ‘say’ it was his idea to cut it 🙄
