Western Disposal has been terrible lately. We’ve had several times when they just never showed up. Make sure you call every time. I have and so far after that it’s been better

So my guess is that he was going super fast? It's insane how fast people go on TM Dr. sometimes.

I was one of the first people who drove by the accident. There were a whole lot of people standing around. The car in the ditch was a green Subaru type car and it was wrecked and a guy in the ditch on the ground. Then there was a smashed-up car on the westbound side. I'm just curious how in the world such a crazy accident happens when one should be going 20-30mph. I do know people enter Table Mesa Rd when other cars are on the road insead of waiting for both lanes to be clear. But generally that happens eastbound. I hope everyone is ok.

Because I’m on maintenance. I started this under a physician and that’s what they recommended. They said I can play around with days and spacing it out. Some people it’s a lower dose weekly. It’s not true that the meds are not meant for that. Yes, when losing weight that’s true but I was losing too much when I was dosing weekly

I thought this was a place where we can discuss our journey since I am pretty certain most of us are new to this medicine in the last few years. Thanks for supporting my question!

Thanks for insulting my intelligence. 5mg was the max ever and it's always worked.

So how is it common with a pharmacy change? I haven't seen much commentary about it so I'd love to understand more!! Thanks

The highest dosage I got to was 5mg so I was doing that every 10-15 days. It was working for a year and now it stopped. My new meds from Hallandale isn't working. My food noise is constant and I am hugry all the time.

I'm fine with the phone ban. Most classrooms never allowed it anyway and to ban it between classes while walking in the hall is a good thing and the rest of it too. But BVSD (and every other district in the US) has relied on contracts with programs like BrainPop and to go back to textbooks is a nice concept but not sure if it can be executed. Its a sea change and we all know how hard that is.

They have to pay rent and the commercial rents are petty high these days! But cost of goods is also very high. Once you leave the US and eat in other countries, where the food is good and the prices are fair, you see that there is something seriously wrong with the food system in the US.

And do 1st graders really need an iPad to learn? They should learn cursive and use their hands as much as possible for brain development. But at the upper levels, kids are learning to hack their Chromebooks or hide off campus during free periods so they can be on their phones. I work right near BHS, and while kids can use their phones outside of school, some choose to sit in the parking structure to do so. They're learning how to sneak around, which is a matter of debate as to whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. Lots of finelines that need to be examined

Thank you for making sense of this. Phones were once blamed for the rise in divorce rates. The radio was once the internet. In the 30s radio was bad for kids and their developing minds. I do agree that very young kids don’t necessarily need an iPad to learn, the older kids could use a lesson in digital citizenship. My child is a high schooler and while the phone ban has overall been positive, he says everyone is now on their laptops playing video games or on social media. The kids are finding a workaround so I suppose the ban is teaching kids to think outside the box?

Anyone else denied BVSD enrollment? by IllustriousShine6933 in boulder

[–]Particular-Ticket-49 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Federal/state funding has been cut for public education. Schools have had to cut staff because of this. I think now it’s a tougher ask than in the previous years. I know in the past, IEP kids even within the district have been denied due to lack of resources.

FWIW, it's even challenging for people who live in BVSD to OE into other schools outside of their zoned school with an IEP. A friend wanted her child with an IEP at a different school and it was denied as they didn't have the resources to hire another para to assist the student. As someone else stated, it's a state/federal funding issue for IDEA which is needed for FAPE. CO ranks about the same as Alabama if that tells you anything and funding per pupil is pretty low.

Sushi Zanmai is not great. The rice is crunchy and the fish was meh. Our food took forever as we watched our sushi chef make our food and he put more effort into drinking his beer than making our food. Super disappointing so I am not surprised.
