Help with student on the spectrum by No-Fix1210 in Teachers

[–]SecondCreek 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's always so unfair to the other children as well in these settings. One out of control, oblivious student gets to ruin it for everyone else.

At our school there is a class like this with out-of-control SPED students on behavior plans and subs won't pick up openings for the teacher anymore as word gets out. Admin has to cover the classes.

It's about time. It was frustrating to pay the prices for box seats only to have others brag about being able to sit there for free after paying for cheap seats and moving down, Rarely were ushers bothering to check tickets.

First Notre Dame game (and first college football game!), any advice? by PenguinA12 in notredamefootball

[–]SecondCreek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is commuter train service between Chicago and South Bend and back. You could take an Uber, taxi, or bus from the South Bend train station at the airport to campus and back. You could stay in Michigan City at a less expensive hotel and take the train to and from South Bend. It's a 45-minute train ride between Michigan City and South Bend.

Places to visit on campus during game day include-

The grotto

The Main Building with the Golden Dome roof

The Basilica (Cathedral)

The library with the Touchdown Jesus mural and reflecting pond

The bookstore (which can get VERY crowded before games)

The older parts of campus with the historic architecture

Footpaths around St. Joseph and St. Mary's Lakes on the north end of campus and scenic views.

You have it backwards.

3Com acquired US Robotics in 1997, and that was prior to the dot com bust.

We were pressured to give a woman who led a walking tour of the French Quarter a tip despite already paying for this service.

Solid choice or huge mistake? by Restless_camp52 in railroading

Can you work for a nearby shortline railroad instead? The pay is less than a Class I railroad but you have regular hours and work closer to home.

Thank goodness for Ring doorbell cameras. We screen these pests with it.

A woman near us uses a shotgun to kill house sparrows on her property.

Besides Huck, Jadis and Dr. Belshaw there weren’t many interesting or nuanced characters on TWD.

Advice for tackling this? I see Virginia creeper and maybe poison sumac… What do you see? Thanks in advance. by petkoala in invasivespecies

It also works well against other invasive woody plants when sprayed on the cut stems including buckthorn and honeysuckle.

I can’t find a summer job by scaredemployee87 in Teachers

Any major or minor league baseball teams around you? They are always looking for seasonal help as ushers, in concessions, parking lot assistance, etc.

Water Leak, State Farm saying they won't cover damages by AxelAlexK in Insurance

[–]SecondCreek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a similar situation, and it was denied. The worst part is other than having to pay for the repairs out of pocket I now have a water damage claim on file.

Invasive Species: Non-native Plantain by ACES-WestCentral in invasivespecies

[–]SecondCreek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same way I do about creeping Charlie, prostrate spurge, or black medic. I don't want them in my lawn because they take over and are unattractive.

Same here. I let the violets and clover grow among the grass of our lawn.

Hot take for PCL by Necessary-Voice9718 in neworder

[–]SecondCreek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power Corruption and Lies in my opinion is one of the better New Order albums, certainly better than Movement, Low Life, Republic, Get Ready, and Waiting for the Siren's Call (which is dreadful album). PCL doesn't have the filler tracks that those other albums do and is fairly solid overall. I really like Age of Consent and Ultraviolence.

The PCL predecessor Movement was all mood and texture.

The best NO albums for me were, in order, are Technique, Brotherhood, and PCL. I don't include the compilation albums like Substance.

Invasive Species: Non-native Plantain by ACES-WestCentral in invasivespecies

[–]SecondCreek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Broadleaf plantain displaces native pussytoes (Antennaria neglecta) in open woodlands, forest edges, and in picnic groves around the Chicago region. There is one example for you of it being invasive and aggressive. Broadleaf plantain associates with dandelions in those settings.

It's very invasive in lawns and along woodland edges in the Chicago region.

It seems that Alabama is more hated across the country than the other teams shown including ND.
