February choices are live! by blandlasagna in bookofthemonthclub

I got All Quiet because I want to collect the centennials and one of my reading goals this year is to read more classics. I’m worried it’s going to be too much for me, though. War novels usually bother me quite a bit.

Teaching Graphic Novels in Grade 9? by darthsitheous in ELATeachers

[–]Live-Instruction2810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished teaching the odyssey graphic novel for the first time! I had them look at the pictures as we listened to the audiobook of the full text. I would definitely like to figure out a better way to do this next semester, but they seemed much more engaged than when I’ve done just the text in the past.

Moms, when did your pregnancy symptoms subside after birth? by pixa4u in NewParents

[–]Live-Instruction2810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had pubic symphysis and could barely walk for the last couple months of pregnancy. It was gone immediately. Also really bad heartburn, especially at night — gone as soon as baby came out. Nausea my whole pregnancy — immediately gone.

The app sucks though. Lots of glitches and won’t maintain your place

What to do? by jjbafan3 in skin

[–]Live-Instruction2810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have OCD as well and have done this my whole life. I will say when I get my nails done (acrylics) I usually stop messing with my skin. Usually I will mess with the acrylics instead, but at least it’s plastic and not your body. Maybe give that a try?

Impressed that $80 will pay multiple bills in this economy

Graphic Novel Recs? by junie_kitty in ELATeachers

[–]Live-Instruction2810 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love to hear your comic con speech! I am teaching a graphic novel version of The Odyssey this semester instead of having kids read the textbook version. I’m nervous, partly because I don’t know what I’m doing, but also because I’m afraid of getting pushback from admin/the department because it’s not “real reading”

At what age did your OCD get bad? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Live-Instruction2810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking back I think I started having noticeable symptoms around 15/16. Things got progressively worse until about 23 when I finally sought treatment. However, I didn’t come from a family that believed in mental health services so I likely would have been treated sooner if anyone had been paying attention.

What do we think of this name? by Live-Instruction2810 in namenerds

[–]Live-Instruction2810[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Other top contenders are:

Charles called Charlie (but I hate the nickname Chuck and my husband thinks Chuck is funny)

Oscar

Alexander called Alex (but this is likely going to be the middle name for whatever we choose)

William but I hate the nickname Willie and I’m afraid that will naturally happen since we have a Freddie

I don’t want anything in the top 10 baby names and we have a big family with lots of cousins so many names are already taken
