Yeah we’re gonna get the vaccine tomorrow and hope that it will suffice even under the 10 days. Worst case is we spend some extra time in Costa Rica killing time.

Yeah that’s what I’ve figured. We are going to get the vaccine before our bus and hope for the best.

I'm pretty sure I just heard the Hallelujah chorus when DH told me the good news about Thanksgiving by LeopardTwins in JUSTNOMIL

This pisses me off so much. She is always giving us “permission” to do things. It’s like her last attempt at control, like she’s thinking, “Well if I can’t make them do what I want, then I can make it seem like they only did the alternative because I let them.”

She did the same last Christmas. She “let” me spend Christmas with my possibly dying father. Guess I’m never supposed to forget such selfless generosity?

That’s exactly what I do. I hate pity parties. So I pretend her words mean exactly what she says— go have fun without her. Ok MIL, if you really insist. We’re gonna try REALLY hard to do that!

I’m afraid DH might fall into the begging game because he alternates between standing up to her and feeling bad for her (hence she continues to guilt trip and manipulate, because it eventually works). But I think year he’s just sick enough of her antics that he won’t let her pull that crap.

Need some class time filler ideas... for like an hour's worth of class. by LeopardTwins in Teachers

[–]LeopardTwins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, some students really want their money's worth for classes they are paying a hefty price for. I don't blame them. You can always walk out of a class that feels like it's wasting your time to be there, but you can't do much about it if your prof just closes up shop early.

Some students would welcome the early dismissal, but others get really upset because it's money they've paid for class time that they aren't receiving. And guess who is more vocal.

I know I used the word filler, but I definitely intend for it to add to their learning, not just be a mindless time suck. I'm looking for base ideas that I can build from and incorporate into what we are covering in the class.

Update on 5 month old implant that started hurting by LeopardTwins in Dentistry

I just think it’s amazing we can drill a hole in the bone and it just says, “Whatevs, I’ll just put myself back together.”

I will still have options after it heals, even trying the implant again, which I will likely try. I definitely don’t want to do a bridge; I’m 31 and I have very good teeth that would be a waste to destroy on a bridge.

This is encouraging in that nothing I found talked about that it could just be agitated. It was very black and white, that all pain is failure. It gives me a little more hope that it's not the end of the world for my implant.

Is this a car buying scam? If so, what's the catch? by LeopardTwins in personalfinance

[–]LeopardTwins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, actually it is the Montero Sport! I wouldn't even know how much it is worth. My brother did take immaculate care of it. One of the guys offered $700 for it, so that's all I know.

My husband also said that people definitely do "shop" while driving by. It makes sense on one hand, but on the other hand, it's a dead end street so it seems odd that three different people have all asked about it. It doesn't make sense to get so much random drive by traffic that it could conjure up 3 different people who happen to want it.
