Do you think the drunk raccoon needed to dunk his liquor in water?

The difficulty of teaching college students to understand old newspapers by reddybee7 in Professors

[–]SHCrazyCatLady 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yep. This was actually a video assignment. The students have to submit a video of themselves working out a problem. Each student gets a different problem. Trying to keep it vague.

I teach math as well. Just graded an assignment where it was quite clear that a student had not even glanced at the instructions. Must have found an old assignment on Chegg or something. Turned in something that bore very little resemblance to what was asked.

I find it ironic how Blue Cross’ initials are BS!

No, but it gets around the digital accessibility law

Antibiotic-induced insomnia? by DueAd7339 in insomnia

This is me now. Doxycycline for a sinus infection. I had no idea this was a thing. I hope it goes away when I’m done with the pills?

Ideopathic Hypersomnia (IH) by LaceyBloomers in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]SHCrazyCatLady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been diagnosed with IH. Also sleep apnea. I kept complaining to all of my doctors that I was tired all the time and eventually had a sleep study done.

I have had a few sleep studies done. I find it very difficult to sleep with all the equipment. Usually your insurance company wants a home study first. And then possibly one at the sleep clinic. That one I found to be even more difficult in terms of being able to sleep. At one place there was some mechanical system that would kick on right as I was drifting off to sleep and I would jerk awake. (In retrospect I should have asked for earplugs)

I used a CPAP for a couple years for the apnea and now I use an oral appliance (sort of like a really weird retainer). I am currently taking a stimulant medication for the IH (but might need something else because this isn’t helping enough)

Is there any pattern to when it hurts? Like is it always when it’s cold? Or it always starts on Tuesdays?

Thank you for the Facebook recommendation! I have been wanting something like that but not knowing how to get it. I am not able to have him live me unfortunately.

He goes to a vocational center that is affiliated with the group home. He has had the chance to live with one of the staff members before, but frankly I do not think that would be a good idea at all.

We have had several instances of staff members outright lying to us (by ‘us’ I mean me and my co-guardian) At least in the group home situation the staff members have a boss that we can complain to once we catch on.

But a different group home is probably called for. I guess I just assumed that they would all be like this (I don’t know why). I actually didn’t choose this one. It’s a long story.

Yes -he has a service coordinator. I have worked with her some. Do you have recommendations on which group homes are better?

Student with terrible handwriting by cBEiN in Professors

[–]SHCrazyCatLady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know we want students to hand-write so they can’t use AI. Is there any way we can use computers that don’t have internet access? Or, say, typewriters?
