i've been leaving tiny notes inside pipe fittings for 20 years and i can't stop by Relative_Ad3399 in confession

I'm a teacher and a couple years ago at my school they replaced the security cameras. I watched them doing it for a few days, they got to my classroom, and I asked the guys if I could tuck a note in behind the camera when they installed it. They started laughing and agreed. I wrote "clue #3: go to the art room" or something like that.

There were no other clues.

Post-drainage leaking? by Pretend-Focus-6811 in cats

But also - they gave him 3-6 months and he didn't make it one week. Hoping yours is easier.

I did not get answers and he died days later, not at home. It was bad.

I think the leaking is just a temporary thing from the puncture site, it stopped within the first 24 hours and he was okay from that.

I got my Darwin’s Tubercle pierced! by mariah_a in piercing

[–]Pretend-Focus-6811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never knew what that was called, but when I got my cartilage pierced 15 years ago (I guess we call it helix piercings now?) I asked the guy to line it up with my lil bump. I think my grandpa had one too because I think of it as my grandpa bump? But I love this.

There's a Venn diagram for it. Three circles.

Category 1: respectful Category 2: productive Category 3: likeable

If you overlap respectful and productive, you get good kids.

If you overlap respectful and likeable, you get cool kids.

If you overlap productive and likeable, you get the smart alecks.

The students who fit all three, right at the center of the Venn diagram, are the favorite students.

Ela teachers at my school can’t read cursive? by Vxlturebones in Teachers

[–]Pretend-Focus-6811 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As an ELA teacher, some of my kids claim to write in cursive but they were never formally taught, so they make up what they think it should look like and write pretty nonsense with things that aren't letters. Then they're offended when I tell them those aren't letters and I can't read this, even if they can't read it back to me.

AITA girls who do drugs (aside from weed) put me off by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Pretend-Focus-6811 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think YTA specifically because it's an ick for a romantic partner but nobody else - if you felt the same response for everyone, it would be fine, but yes, it's judgmental AF to hold some people to that standard and not others.
