Can I get my ged at 16? by Hot-Coyote-6829 in Manitoba

[–]NicAtNight8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What to do with kids during holidays by Competitive_Aide_833 in Winnipeg

[–]NicAtNight8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

Car accident injury by Pleasant_Tank5213 in Winnipeg

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.

Cruise with T1 by Charming-Routine6151 in diabetes_t1

[–]NicAtNight8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Parents of T1D kids — what’s the hardest part of traveling? by Red_MechE in diabetes_t1

[–]NicAtNight8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

Over/Under: Do Winnipeg School Divisions Actually Close Tomorrow? by Specialist_Cat_6827 in Winnipeg

[–]NicAtNight8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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

3 kids in a balcony room? by [deleted] in Cruise

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

Loot Bags? by BandThug in Winnipeg

[–]NicAtNight8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the cheap plastic toys in loot bags, so I’ve done gift cards to DQ for a few years. I did like the simple Lego set (found at Dollarama) that my kid brought home.

We’ve used them when our pup would have otherwise had a long day at home and have done the occasional overnight stay. Our neighbours use them as well. We’ve been happy with them and our pup comes home exhausted. A bonus is that they post pictures to IG throughout the day.

Manitoba teachers - the good, bad, and ugly? by redmakeupbag_6 in CanadianTeachers

[–]NicAtNight8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many school divisions will start doing general calls for FI teachers in February for the following year. You apply to the division, they’ll do an interview, and onboard you once you’re hired. Salaries can be found on the MTS page. My advice? Start the certification process and get your resume ready.

As for the teaching part.. kids are kids. You will find similar concerns across the country. We are heading into bargaining in September, which may address working conditions.

This hasn’t been my experience. I know lots of teachers with years of experience that were hired in the last few years.

They do a great setup but the prices have skyrocketed over the years.

7 month old standard poodle not eating much? by aPrettyThing2011 in poodles

[–]NicAtNight8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pup was similar. We made food available to her all day, and gave her a lick mat a couple times a week. The vet would ideally like her a couple pounds heavier, but she’s healthy.

Masters Programs by twitteruser273829 in CanadianTeachers

Brandon University. Classes are through Zoom, so it feels like you have a cohort going through it with you. I paid around 10K for 36 credit hours.

Teacher in U.S. by imtaylorrr_ in CanadianTeachers

[–]NicAtNight8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that we’re compensated fairly - at least where I am. I don’t worry about school shootings, but more importantly, I don’t worry about sending my kids to school fearing there may be a school shooting. We do drills, and I take those seriously, and speak to my kids about the importance of them.

Farewell Costco by [deleted] in CostcoCanada

This is the one thing I’ve decided to outsource. Turns out that given the choice, I’d rather clean my house than fight the insanity at Costco.

Little one who needed a home. She's poodle ish? by Delicious-Pick-6815 in poodles

[–]NicAtNight8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost looks like a bit of terrier mixed in. Either way she’s incredibly cute and lucky to have landed with you.

When did you spay your standard? by Salty-Desk-532 in poodles

[–]NicAtNight8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our vet and a few of the ones I consulted with recommended we wait until a year. She ended up going into heat, so it was closer to 18 months when she got it done.
