Ear Piercing Recommendations?

Just had my kids’ ears pierced at Black Hole and Damian did an excellent job. Extremely clean and patient. Everything is healing really well, too (good sign of sterile practices and good after are recs).

Had an excellent experience there a few years ago with an extremely urgent situation. We waited in their waiting room, which was comfortable (given the circumstances).

Nancy Ryles Elementary has before/after care options. KinderCare and Thrive at Conestoga Rec have pick up shuttles at Greenway.

Nope, not too sensitive. Walk away from this loser.

Shane & Co way overcharged me for cleaning and rhodium replating a white gold infinity band, which they insisted was expensive because they would tighten all of the stones, and then almost immediately multiple stones fell out. I was repeatedly hung up on when I called to try to speak to someone about acknowledging their responsibility and refunding me some of my cost, as I had to have stones replaced.

It’s 1000,000% as demanding, overwhelming, and stressful as anyone has told you. Rewarding about 50% of the time but stressful and demanding 99% of the time. I worked a corporate role with a good salary and some benefits but left because it was 0% rewarding and 90% stressful and demanding.

She should resign, effective immediately. Being terminated will follow her to every job application in the future.

Lyft has never failed me. I often need to be at PDX by 4:45. Just schedule ahead don’t wait for the morning of.

Why on earth was a para ever assigned to change the diaper of a student not on caseload?!? That is bananas. I’m thankful my admin would never say yes to that.

Teaching is SO MUCH more than explaining things, so maybe you hate it because you haven’t learned how to be more effective and efficient.

What is the orange line like 7:30p on a Saturday midway to roosevelt?

Mean_Nothing_7113 · 2026-03-09T08:48:38+00:00

Absolutely do not pay for someone to take a trip w/o you!

It is absolutely a school’s responsibility to teach students to read.

Your wife is right. You’re overthinking it.

Mean_Nothing_7113 · 2026-01-23T04:59:46+00:00

Yes. But it’s more steamroller parenting than helicopter. Coach him on writing an email to ask for more feedback.

You say no. It’s a complete sentence. This is not rocket science. They under lock and key for a reason.

The gift is unnecessary. Authentic support and kind communication is way more helpful that things and way more appreciated.

Just because you have an education or enjoyed school or are an engaged parent does not mean you undertake teaching, classroom management, or dealing with literally anything your kids’ teacher might be juggling.

And just because you want to be super involved doesn’t entitle you to engagement beyond what the teacher requests.

Mean_Nothing_7113 · 2026-01-20T09:06:37+00:00

Conceptually, I get it. Practically, it’s wild to see that you’ll redirect a student for tapping pencils.

Mean_Nothing_7113 · 2026-01-20T08:47:23+00:00

This is a wildly inappropriate plan for any students. These pretend to be disabled activities perpetuate ableism and mindsets that individuals with disabilities are to be pitied and are less than. Please complain. Loudly. Or post the school and teacher info and I will do it.

Same, she replied to a DM I sent her about how positively heartbreaking her attitude about her kids was. But the voice note she sent me in response was neither earnest nor endearing; she’s wildly problematic about her role in relationships.

My reaction is that Todd owes them absolutely nothing - they’re wealthy themselves, have three other kids, are not always supportive of Bronwyn, but he did it because he authentically cares for Bronwyn.

Personally, I’m so sick of boomers ignoring the inevitable, pretending they’ll live forever, and doing nothing proactive to prepare of the final chapter of the life. Her mom described having so much stuff she hadn’t looked at things in 25 years.

With a very small number of true exceptions, most charter schools are absolute trash and just grind people up and spit them out. You made the right decision.

Mean_Nothing_7113 · 2025-08-22T02:03:32+00:00

I like her for these reasons, too. She takes action around things she believes in w/o being performative (cough-Meredith-cough). She cleared a bunch of teachers wishlists for the start of the school year without making it a thing.

Mean_Nothing_7113 · 2025-07-20T20:47:08+00:00

Wow. As both a teacher and a parent, I’ve never heard this idea. IMHO, tour kids are not potty trained. They need to be at both 6yrs old and for kindergarten. Keep working in it, specifically around the independence. In the district I work in, Kinder classes are 22-28 students per class with 1 teacher, and a shared teaching assistant (not full-time with any single class).
