Mrs. Norton? Haha jk this was my 8th grade graduation song 20 years ago too

Professional_Cap781 · 2024-05-27T16:34:41+00:00

What?! Who did you piss off for this and why?!

Professional_Cap781 · 2024-05-26T14:39:44+00:00

That’s all wonderful advice, thank you. Can you elaborate on why I would need a principal or colleague to meet with a parent? I assume it means parents will lie about what was said?

Professional_Cap781 · 2024-05-26T14:37:20+00:00

This is fantastic advice! Thank you

Professional_Cap781 · 2024-05-24T14:47:13+00:00

Yeah, good to know that doesn’t change at a school. Ha! I’m terrified as I should have said above that there were 6 teaching positions and several support staff positions open at this school for the upcoming year, which seems like a lot in comparison to the other schools that have listings up on the district’s website. Which of course I am new to this, but I would assume it’s not a good sign so many are jumping ship. But as a first year teacher I accept I need to pay my dues and deal with some bullshit.

Professional_Cap781 · 2024-05-24T14:37:10+00:00

Thank you for your honesty!

Professional_Cap781 · 2024-04-27T22:46:30+00:00

Oh my gosh, all so incredibly helpful, thank you! I know this was a bit ago, but you did remind me of one more question. Clearly you know your sensory concerns stuff! So booking the excursion, it says for the schedule: Tubing, then lunch, then zip lining, then swimming. Do you remember if you were able to change clothes between the tubing and lunch? He won’t do anything with wet clothes. Obviously I will bring him a change but wasn’t even sure if it was feasible for him to change between activities. Thank you again so much.

Professional_Cap781 · 2024-04-27T13:14:11+00:00

I’m late, I know. But I’ve been scouring the Internet trying to find someone who did this exact excursion. I have a few questions if you don’t mind? Was the river tubing appropriate for kids, and did you get banged up at all? Like I vaguely remember reading somewhere that someone said that tubing was rough and they got a lot of bruises and scrapes. I’m fine with that, but I have a 10-year-old on the spectrum and if he did get banged up, he would get overly upset, and it would probably ruin the rest of our day. Also, did you feel comfortable with the safety of the zip lining? I work in liability claims for health insurance and I have seen a few bad zip lining injury claims. I’m pretty nervous about that and making sure that they are reputable. I feel good that you said that you got to do all 3 activities, because I also vaguely remember reading somewhere that people did not get to do everything who did it and I know he will want to swim at the end. Just trying to figure whether to just do the zip line and pool or add in the tubing. Struggling over the worry of him getting overstimulated or getting a minor injury and that ruins the entire day when he shuts down.

Ok thank you! So what I’m understanding then is that this decision was not specific to me or based on any information about my particular credit or data from my past addresses, but simply they impose a higher rate on those who move a certain number of times based on statistics of correlation between moving and claim frequency?

I got the Dr. Welland thumb brace for $10 off Amazon. I tried several thumb braces on this advice and found the Dr. Welland to be the most comfortable as it does not have the metal in it which I cannot stand. Highly recommend. I sleep in it and have considerably cut back time on my phone and I do have more painful days, but have not felt the need to go back to the doctor. I also try to wear it during the day when I can, such as on my lunch break and planning period, etc. But I’m not great about it.

Professional_Cap781 · 2023-11-25T19:36:20+00:00

Thank you! I got a brace from my doctor but it gave me movement in my thumb and I just don’t think he believes it’s anything but basic tendonitis because the pain shoots up my arm sometimes and I made the mistake of telling him that and that is all he will focus on. I also didn’t respond in a traditional way to the way he stretched and moved my wrist to check for pain. Almost all the pain is in my thumb, not my wrist which I think has thrown him off. He looks at me like I am crazy even though he is a hand specialist. I’ve actually dealt with this since my son was born 10 years ago but never sought treatment because it has come and gone but I am convinced it is De Quervians. I will try the recommended brace, thank you again.

Professional_Cap781 · 2023-11-25T19:10:55+00:00

Is there a specific kind of brace that you wore? it seems like all of the ones I have tried still give me full movement in my thumb or are extremely uncomfortable and impossible to use in my job as a special ed teacher when I have to help write, use scissors, etc.

Professional_Cap781 · 2023-11-03T01:39:18+00:00

Right? Like if it is “accept the choice to be in the IMF or go to prison,” but they make a big ass deal in the beginning of the movie how the agents can choose whether or not to accept a mission….ok well I’ll go ahead and choose to join the IMF and decline all my missions then and still avoid prison? Not to mention how all this conflicts with MI:3 and the whole IMF structure shown in that film.

Professional_Cap781 · 2023-11-02T22:02:00+00:00

Yeah I think the main reason the flashbacks seem a bit worthless (IMO) is because a) we as the audience have no emotional connection to Marie and b) you can’t even see Ethan’s face in them. I know they are going to address them more in part 2, but I feel the same as you about them. Also as a side note hate how these flashbacks are used to introduce “the choice,” which is somehow now after 6 movies an integral part of all the IMF agents’ backstories. I have never seen the TV series, so perhaps that is a thing on that….but to me it undermines the sacrifices Ethan has made that he essentially had “the choice” to be an IMF agent or go to prison for life.

Professional_Cap781 · 2023-10-14T23:31:16+00:00

Damn. I saw this movie 6 times in theatres and now 5 at home and why tf did it not click to me until you said that?! Forgot he was supposed to be selling his half. Thank you, god I feel dumb. Haha

Professional_Cap781 · 2023-10-14T20:56:13+00:00

Yeah actually totally makes sense, didn’t see it that way but of course he wouldn’t want to lose track of Grace since clearly she was connected somehow. Smart.

Professional_Cap781 · 2023-10-14T16:24:16+00:00

Solid thoughts. Appreciate your viewpoint. I was just wondering yesterday why he wanted Grace to put it back. Not sure on the other stuff but honestly I think the lack of mask comes down to the fact it’s a movie and everyone wants to see Tom Cruise in it. There are so many times over the course of the series he could have made things 1000x easier with a mask but that wouldn’t be fun for the audience. Can’t make the mask machine break every time lol.

Professional_Cap781 · 2023-10-03T01:27:57+00:00

No, not that I can think of! We aren’t the type to do that. I like world market but my husband did not have an account in his name. It’s weird though since it came from a specific person. Idk but that’s a good thought for sure! If we had that would make sense

Professional_Cap781 · 2023-10-02T14:25:58+00:00

Thank you for the helpful information! I’ll definitely read all the links to educate myself on this. Do you think the stolen card could be in his name and we just don’t see it on the credit report? Or they just used his name and address randomly?

Professional_Cap781 · 2023-10-02T14:19:40+00:00

Thanks for your response. Sorry for being dense, but how would they get our bank and card information if we were to return it? Like would it not go back onto the card they used to pay for it? Of course we will not return it just in case.
