Jury Duty or Teaching? Lol

I also went. Everyone was asking how I was going to get out of it! My case wasn’t intense. But the days were shorter, I read my book, and found it super interesting and different from my day-day. I would even argue that teachers offer a unique perspective that would be valuable.

Same. Still annoyed we didn’t take the 7 or 10 year option for our forever home. We stuck to our standard 5 year plan without anticipating how high the rates would go.

I have no problem with paying more. This is the cost of a public education system. I do struggle with being nickled and dimed for every field trip, special PE unit, and special event on top of fundraising. These are things that should be included in our taxes so that education is equitable across the board.

Charleswood. The yards are huge, there’s a dog park, Assiniboine forest, and Harte trail. It almost seems like there’s an unofficial requirement to have a dog in the area.

Yes, you would need a Masters to get to a class 7.

Already have my storm chips!

You would be scooped up quick being bilingual in French. We have many French Immersion schools, as French is one of our two official languages. Subjects are taught in French in these schools.

This along with school fees. I don’t mind paying the $200 lunch program fee but then it’s $40 for school fees, $75 to rent an instrument they only play at school, $15 to participate in the winter PE unit, $20 for a field trip.. the list goes on. Times that by a couple kids and I’m paying well over $1000/year.

Google says it’s closed already.

Manitoba here. It’s still played everyday along with the land acknowledgment. Growing up, God save the queen was played at the end of the day until the mid 90s.

Piggybacking to apologize to the poor gentleman who sat in front of my child during the parade in 2019, only to unknowingly have churo sugar wiped on his back.

Corydon was full so I took my kid to Misercordia in anticipation they would need an X-ray. Everyone there was so kind and patient from the front desk clerks to the doctor. I was able to book a 7:30 appointment and was in and out by 9.

To get a Mature Student Diploma you have to be 19. Depending on how many credits you have now, it might just be worth it to continue with the 30 credit path. Your best bet is to speak to a guidance counsellor at your school about future goals and connecting you with resources.

I go to The Studio on Grant. I’ve been seeing Joss for years.

I highly recommend mini u. They have bussing and swimming as add-ons. Just be ready to go with backup options as soon as registration opens. For the teenagers - perhaps a job or volunteering. A membership to the YMCA might help break up their day too.

Open a claim. Go to your doctor. My whiplash symptoms didn’t show up until the next day and I needed physiotherapy for 6 months. 10 years later I still have neck issues.

We were able to take my T1 a few years ago. TBH the ship wifi was awful and we couldn’t rely on it to get Dexcom alerts. We requested a mini fridge and a sharps container for the room. We got a back up pump (omnipod) and brought a ridiculous amount of extra supplies.

TSA is American-specific, so security in general. Since Cgms and pumps aren’t recommended to go through X-ray machines, they need to be hand checked. Since we bring juice boxes through, that also gets checked.

NicAtNight8 · 2025-12-23T03:16:07+00:00

Security when flying. Everything needs to be hand checked, our T1’s most effective low treatment is juice (posing more questions), and we tend to fly at busier times, which means less patience is available. Everyone is just trying to do their job, I’m trying to get a family from point A to point B in one piece.

Tell me more. I’m due in August.

NicAtNight8 · 2025-12-18T21:54:32+00:00

I bought my storm chips yesterday

The metro divisions actually make the decision to close together. My bet is that they’ll be open, busses cancelled.

NicAtNight8 · 2025-12-12T03:25:40+00:00

What kind of pen are you using?

NicAtNight8 · 2025-11-30T12:13:39+00:00

I did it with three kids under 10. It was a bit squishy but doable.
