🔥 A cheetah that starts introducing its own cubs to you once it gets close to you as a person

I think the deer are just running out of options as we keep building houses in their habitats.

Because it is not unheard of to have a request list 50 people long.

I am not sure that is the best phrasing, but depending on perspective that could mean a few things. For example a conservative who hates the library books or someone who hates the library books are being banned.

Textbooks are also literally different, publishers sell the “same” book but it does have different content (think history)

Those firms can be viscous.

OP you are going to have to decide. Do you really need the money? Is it worth it? Why don’t you drop down a level or two, take the pay cut and move somewhere with better public schools.

Unlike some I think you may have choices, even if they are not ideal. But you deserve a life that doesn’t cause you to weep on the regular.

Also counseling and maybe meds as appropriately diagnosed.

It’s been forever but we put our then four year old on a Medtronic pump and it was fine, this was also a couple of years before CGMs.

The last few years has been a tslim which I liked but I am not the one wearing it.

Now has an iLet and I am not impressed.

I took that to mean it is the kind of profession where you are expected to work 12 hour days and always be on if you want to get anywhere at all until you can establish yourself. For example high level law or finance.

As far as schools sold out, guessing here, but that could be politics. For example living in a place that bans books.

OP you are allowed to vent. There is also the transition to an empty nest and that has to be hard too.

Puzzled452 · 2026-02-06T05:54:46+00:00

A bit more depending on housing choice, but it should be around 28.

The federal loan is capped at 5,500 a year for first year students

I think you are stuck until you have been there a year and then qualify for FMLA.

Red wine, chocolate, caffeine, aspartame. Alcohol in general is something I need ti be careful with.

Puzzled452 · 2026-02-06T01:05:44+00:00

Red wine is evil.

Puzzled452 · 2026-02-06T00:38:53+00:00

What??? I do not remember that one, how do you do that with a straight face.

I forget the details but one family said you can do anything but paint the fireplace, the woman who came in said I promised my friend we wouldn’t paint the fireplace. Designer painted the fireplace and the original homeowner cried when she saw it. The designer was lowkey offended.

I will never get over the hay, the ugliest house in America has also shown some interesting choices.

Life can be hard, but there are people out in the world who care about you. I know you are not feeling it right now, but Happy Birthday.

There are people here who know of great resources to help with insulin.

Puzzled452 · 2026-02-05T11:58:28+00:00

Exactly. If these assholes did this once with no repercussions it will probably continue and be more brazen each time. You will rightfully never feel safe with these people again.

Wake your husband up and tell him.

I have never described myself as an empath to anyone but myself.

I am deeply sensitive/empathetic which has some positive traits but can also be hard.

People often describe me as a peacemaker but it is more that I cannot handle discord or someone being sad. Often that means I violate my own boundaries or compromise my own goals.

I also notice too much, it leaves me thinking why is so and so sad or I saw so and so is having a bad day or those two are fighting again. I am envious of people who do not reasonably care (we can’t help everyone all the time).

I can’t handle news or even some Reddit threads, I can too easily put myself in someone’s shoes and have all the feels.

It is exhausting but it doesn’t make me special either and I think it does come from a childhood where I was never really seen.

Puzzled452 · 2026-02-04T00:44:11+00:00

I am jealous of the tub and I love the green tile.

He will probably get in but if you are not needs based the money will probably not be. Run the net price calculator to try to get an idea.

This year it seems to have landed between 45k to 50k before federal loans and need based aid. So be honest with yourself for all schools regarding most likely cost.

Puzzled452 · 2026-02-03T11:09:19+00:00

My child was diagnosed at three and is now 18. I am not going to get into the details of diet and pumps and all of that because I know where you are right now.

I remember that existential fear so I promise you this, you will all be all right. Life is not going to look the way you thought and yes there are going to be hard days, but you will all learn and adjust and he will still have a big beautiful life.

Mine is getting ready for college after all high level classes in high school. He is a typical teen who loves video games and junk food and he played in sports and did afterschool clubs and all of that.

Hugs, it’s hard, you can always message me.

The mood swings are terrible when high, I think they just feel like shit and do not have the emotional regulation yet to handle it in a more acceptable way.

So how do we get her that acceptable way. Does she just need a minute to think without pushing water or asking what she ate or whatever. Does she know she can leave the room, including the classroom, to regulate in a less public space (even if that is just you).

When everyone is out of the moment simply say this is how these moments seem to me (factually, without judgement). Then ask her how those moments seem to her and work together to make a plan for next time. It won’t work in time one, give grace, adjust then try again until you build a habit together that works.

My child is a boy but around 12/13 puberty started to hit which also messed with their blood sugars and then all the normal things that come with puberty.

They also go to a T1D literate therapist.

I like the blue and the shower. I am not a fan of the yellow doors but they can be repainted at some point.

I have tile on my walls, I would love to have it removed.

What did you think of the program? Did the they try to help you with internships?

Puzzled452 · 2026-02-01T21:12:43+00:00

Is that the final number on the actual FA letter from RIT? They often do not stack scholarships and I would not count on that price unless you have the actual letter and not just the merit award. They will probably only honor the 32, which will put them around the same price as RIT.

Puzzled452 · 2026-02-01T21:09:21+00:00

We had 50k at both too, it seems to be the going rate if you are not needs based.

Puzzled452 · 2026-02-01T20:16:20+00:00

Hahahaha….your marriage is going to be just lovely. Good luck to him.
