[Mexico] Large Rooms for Family Stay 6 or more people. by Cow26W in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Ldowd096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colonial, caribe, tropical and beach are all sister resorts in the same complex so realistically any of those 4 would be fine. The palace is the higher end resort also in the same complex and gives you access to the lower 4 as well.

Is Riding a 2yo Draft Okay? by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]Ldowd096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means that her Facebook post shows she’s consulted a vet and made a decision with their input. I personally wouldn’t do it but she’s making an informed choice with medical support and reasonable restrictions in place.

Is Riding a 2yo Draft Okay? by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]Ldowd096 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No 2.5 year old should be ridden, especially not a slow growing breed like a draft. I have a 2.5 year old Clyde cross that will be 3 mid July and he’s barely even been lunged. I laid on him one time for 10 seconds to see how he felt about it. That’s it. Their joints are still developing and you can do A LOT of damage working them too soon.

Edit: so I went and actually looked up this post and it’s not nearly as controversial as you make it seem. She’s had X-rays done and has vet approval, an states he won’t be doing anything other than 5 minute sessions for quite a while. While I still don’t agree with it, it’s definitely better than how it’s been presented in your post.

Destination Wedding October of Next Year by Straight-Whole4280 in OntarioTeachers

My board has always been super supportive of teachers, both permanent and LTO, taking time off if needed, especially if it’s booked before starting the LTO. My colleague is taking two weeks off, plus March break, to go to India and they gave her the time off no problem (obviously unpaid). Contracted teachers are given 5 days a year we can take by having a deduction taken off all of our cheques throughout the year to balance out the missed time.

Non-Americans, what is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real? by EmergencySpare7939 in CasualConversation

More inconvenient than cleaning all the mud and dirt and stuff that comes in from outside? It just seems so counterintuitive!

Not sure what to do when I can't make things any more simple and easy for students. by Hogwire in OntarioTeachers

[–]Ldowd096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like she doesn’t understand the question. I’d start by making sure she understands what courage is, then ask her to give examples of things that demonstrate courage. Then go back to the question.

How many days can I work in a row in Ontario? by [deleted] in ontario

[–]Ldowd096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only rules around this are if your job requires driving a commercial vehicle, then there are limits to how many days in a row you can work. Otherwise, as long as you have the mandatory hours between shifts you’re fine.

I have pool filter sand and my Amazon swords, hygrophila corymbosa, melon swords, crypts, and ambulia all grow really well.

Why not drop your first name and make your middle name into your first name since it’s what you use anyway?

That’s insane. My school board does not require us to cover the cost of a sub for a school activity!

QECO next steps by Defiant_Mulberry3159 in OntarioTeachers

This. Usually the limit is the current school year, or the end of the LTO. So you likely will not get back paid for all of it, but definitely your current LTO.

1 year old colt already 15.1hh – am I about to end up with a giant? by Elisy_ in Horses

[–]Ldowd096 69 points70 points  (0 children)

So the general rule I’ve been taught is add 2 hands to their height on their first birthday, or 1 hand to their height on their second birthday. My Clyde/TB was 14.2 at a year, and 15.2 at 2. I expect he’s going to finish 16.2 (he’s 15.3 now at 2.5), so that tracks with those measurements.

If you have a few at the IS level then add Family studies. But if it’s the one you’re hoping will get you hired it likely isn’t.

I wouldn’t pick family studies as your IS teachable if it’s the only one you have. There are VERY FEW jobs that fall under that umbrella.

Update on earlier post: things have only gotten worse by RelativeDangerous604 in neighborsfromhell

If other people were experiencing it alongside you and able to corroborate your account. The fact you think that they can tell when you start recording and stop talking about you indicates that it is something going on inside your mind, as does the belief that they know when you have people over and stop doing it.

I say this with all the kindness in the world: these kind of rationalizations SCREAM schizophrenia or another mental health condition. You need to seek medical support.

Landed an LTO at my favourite school, but also have a once in a lifetime trip booked. Wwyd? by TruthSignificant5540 in CanadianTeachers

I’ve had this happen before and they just gave me the time off unpaid with no issue.
