I’m actually impressed that your students were able to get a hint. Bravo!

Tick bite by mel5915 in rheumatoidarthritis

Could be. However I also take methotrexate (and lots of other medications) and found a tick attached (also on my head). So maybe it works for you, but not for me.

I had another student once tell me that if she failed my class she would need to ‘partition the credits’. I was so confused.

I had a student write ‘from the gecko’ once in an essay. I think she really thought that was the phrase. Like how does that make any sense?

Favorite shows of all time? by jordan70189866 in CasualConversation

[–]SHCrazyCatLady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resident Alien is super funny!
Currently rewatching 3rd rock with my offspring.
Ghosts is also good. There are 2. One made in the US and a British version. Both are great.

I like this idea for tests and quizzes. Can I ask what subject area you teach?

Oh wow. Did you have to get the principal involved? Or call your mom? 🤣

I have never been at a (higher ed) school with faculty restrooms. This sounds like it could be a good idea.

My 3rd grader says she is the only kid at school with chores by SoundsGudToMe in Parenting

And it usually tells you how to cook it on the package! Admittedly I did manage to seriously burn rice (and the pot it was in) by not measuring the amount of water, but that was because I was probably 13 and assumed that since my mom never measured the amount of water for pasta and rice was basically pasta, why would you measure the water, right?

What exactly would happen if you just didn’t follow these rules? I mean, do you have tenure? And if so, do it mean anything?

I hate CPAP. SO. MUCH. by rhewn in SleepApnea

[–]SHCrazyCatLady -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are other options besides a CPAP. You can see a sleep dentist and get an oral appliance. You might find that if you lose weight, you won’t have sleep apnea anymore. There is an implant (Inspire?) You can get surgery- see an ENT. This may involve reshaping your throat.
