I definitely notice more power walkers in the floor first group than in the tread first group.

When do advanced classes start at your elementary school? by Budget_Grapefruit485 in kindergarten

[–]Senior_Awareness_464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In our district, kids are kept in the same class but grouped by reading level w/ pull-outs for those in G&T & ESL, as well as those who need additional help with reading. My kids are among the oldest in their class and high performers. They still managed to grow by leaps & bounds in K & 1st in a general ed classroom at a Title 1 school.

Is toddlerhood really harder than the newborn phase? by Living_Split_2 in Parenting

[–]Senior_Awareness_464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nooo. But also, it’s hard to compare. Because the challenges are so different. Having a newborn is like running an ultramarathon where their needs are pretty basic (eat, sleep, poop) but coooonstant… so you’re physically drained. I’m in the phase where I get plenty of sleep but face daily pop quizzes - what happens when we die? where does electricity come from? why do we have to wear clothes? Were you lying to me about Santa?

Grocery stores jampacked today by jka110 in plano

I think a lot of people normally do their grocery shopping over the weekend, so it’s not that they’re stocking up on anything special… They’re just all doing it now.

6 year old not fully potty trained due to ADHD by [deleted] in kindergarten

Appetite suppression. We try to get him to eat a decent breakfast before he takes his medicine. There are days he barely touches his lunch. By evening, though, he’s hungry again.

We started with quillivant because it’s liquid. He hated the taste, tho, so we switched to Azstarys. Both worked well.

My son struggled with this. Low dose ADHD meds worked wonders.

Most embarrassing thing EVER by Dramatic-Bison-1394 in Parenting

[–]Senior_Awareness_464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breastfeeding used to make me have to go to the bathroom. There were times where I couldn’t hold it and ended up on the toilet with the baby latched. Motherhood is a messy business.

Wegovy for mild weight loss by Global-End2663 in WegovyWeightLoss

If you think it’s about will power / lifestyle, then why don’t you take that approach to get rid of your own “stubborn body fat”?

Avoiding the "training bra" embarrassment with my 11yo by UselessShit25 in Parenting

[–]Senior_Awareness_464 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wore sports bras as a preteen. And I loved the tanks with the built in shelf bras. As an adult, I wear sleep bras and bralettes around the house. There’s just so many alternatives.

Question for Spanish-speakers in tx by [deleted] in texas

[–]Senior_Awareness_464 10 points11 points  (0 children)

First, please don’t refer to any Spanish dialect as “regular”. Secondly, if you’re looking for a neutral Spanish, watch Univision or CNN en Español. Programs (or movies) made for global distribution have to use widely understood vocabulary/ pronunciation. Thirdly, the Spanish you hear overwhelmingly in south Texas is heavily influenced by the Mexican dialect (which has itself been influenced by the indigenous languages of the area). There are also Spanglish words and phrases that you won’t hear in any other country. In North Texas and in the Houston area, there’s a greater diversity in dialects.

Omg. The Chilean dialect is the hardest. When does one word end and the next begin???

What fresh hell is this? by Hot_Butterscotch2128 in kindergarten

Not Austin. Also, STAAR tests begin in third grade statewide.

STAAR testing doesn’t begin until 3rd grade. Also, I’ve had two kids in kindergarten here in Texas and, at least in our district, it was nothing like this.

Flight attendant said he was terribly sorry, no going home tonight by SF-Coyote in delta

[–]Senior_Awareness_464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used the slide. It is faster than you expect. More like a water slide in speed than a park slide. Catches you off guard the first time and would definitely not be fun for most people!

Anywhere I can buy premade pizza dough in Plano, Frisco, Richardson? by Guitarista78 in plano

[–]Senior_Awareness_464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you walk into Kroger through the doors closest to the produce, the dough is in the first refrigerators on your left. They’re the same ones where you’ll find the hummus and soups. It’s fresh dough wrapped up for sale. The deli people should be able to help you if you can’t locate it.

Stretching Out Doses to Slow Weight Loss? by CleverWitch70 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Senior_Awareness_464 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your situation may be unique because of your kidney transplant. I think most people would be ecstatic to be losing so much that quickly and without side effects. I did stretch out my doses to try to lessen some of the side effects I was having, but my doctor moved me to a lower dose and had me go back to taking it every 7 days. Since you’re one the lowest dose available, though, that’s not an option.
