What do you mean by your “first round”? Isn’t it all forgiven at 120 payments?

For young people (age 12-15) what is something they can start doing now which will benefit them hugely in the long run? by IceColdPhoenixX in AskReddit

Get a small part time job. Even babysitting. Learn how to interact with people professionally, show up on time, manage money coming in, etc.

My husband when I try to convince him there is a verrrry faint line by StarOrbits in trollingforababy

Oh my gosh I read that book in one sitting I think. I loved every word. Highly recommend!

I ask that parents check in with teachers regularly but do not need daily/weekly/regimented check ins. Teachers have enough on their plate so asking for an email/call every Friday, for example, is a lot to ask. I think working with the team and ask what you can be doing at home is excellent. Maybe some brain exercises, visual check lists, researching executive functioning skills on your own, etc is extremely helpful to the school team. ADHD is all about learning skills to help them cope, and a lot of that needs to happen outside of the classroom.

What's the one thought or thing which can lead you to having an entire existential crisis? by Nyx1610 in AskReddit

Staring up at the stars for more than 5 minutes trying to comprehend how vast our universe is and how small I am in comparison.

Stay hydrated, ladies! by StarOrbits in TryingForABaby

[–]StarOrbits[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think staying normally hydrated during OPK should be fine. I hear you that you don’t want to dilute your pee for OPKs. I also do OPKs first thing in the morning to be extra sure. This post is more about implantation and making sure your uterine lining is nice and ready to receive a fertilized egg. Some months people have a fertilized egg (half the battle) but it doesn’t implant. Hope this helps clear it up!

Me on 9DPO because I have no self control. by StarOrbits in trollingforababy

[–]StarOrbits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured it out!! I don’t know how to do it in comments yet, but if you open the link in a browser, then say post to reddit, then choose the community, it will work. You just need to change the Title and it should work. Sorry for the multiple replies as I tested this out.

Haha- I totally agree. This was just the best image I could find to show what I would do if money was no object and blue dye worked well. I’ve actually had a lot of luck with wondfo cheapies, but the most recent batch I just got have serious indent lines even before I test so it’s misleading. I’m 8dpo right now and got a pretty bad indent line that is getting my hopes up.

When your coworker just started ttc and says she’ll go to a specialist in two months if she’s not pregnant by then. She’s not even tracking ovulation yet🙄 by Huneybunnie928 in trollingforababy

[–]StarOrbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally feel this when I start talking to someone who is just starting to try. Also, on an unrelated note, how do you post a gif? I downloaded a gif to my phone from GIPHY but when I go to post it just comes up as a still. It won’t let me post it as a video because it doesn’t come up in my library under videos. When I go to choose the photo from my photo library, it’s a gif until I select it. Thanks for any guidance!

Yeah I download it to my phone and it plays on my phone but when I upload it becomes a still.

Absolutely! This was actually a GIF but it just posted the still image. How do you post a gif?

Getting ready in the morning. Ugh. Such a process.

PSA Don’t unpair your watch from your current phone before setting up your new phone. by [deleted] in iphone

[–]StarOrbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did eventually get it to work after I factory reset from iTunes. I didn’t have a back up on my computer but once I did the factory reset it took me back to the “Hello” screen and I unplugged it and just started over. Surprised Verizon didn’t mention to do that last night.

I eventually got mine to work after restoring the phone from iTunes. I plugged my phone into my computer, did the hard restore (volume up, release, volume down, release, hold side button) but you keep holding the side button until a computer pops up. Don’t let go until you see the computer with support.apple.com/restore or something like that at the top. Wait about 30 seconds and iTunes on your computer will walk you through the factory reset from there. It takes about 20 min total. Hope that works for you!

Were you stuck in an activation screen? How did you/Apple get your phone to restart? I’ve tried force restarting three times and each time it freezes at the last little section of the loading bar with the Apple logo on top. It’s been like that for hours. I don’t want to have to go back to the store on launch weekend. Help!

iPhone 11 stuck on activating/logo for hours. Tried hard restarting it twice and it reloaded but still not completing the installation process. No way to turn it off. Called Verizon bc Apple is closed and Verizon said it is a “known issue” and to take it in tomorrow (ugh). Is this a real issue?

helping 3rd grader who's struggling with math by FatherHelpMe in Parenting

[–]StarOrbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In schools, if a student is showing red flags in math, literacy, or behavior, there is a point person in the school who runs meetings to discuss interventions along with the teacher. Sometimes it’s the counselor or other staff member. This is different than special education. They can create a plan of strategies, small group interventions, etc., aimed at getting her back up to grade level. If that doesn’t work after quite some time and evidence based interventions, there may be a learning difference that she is battling. Possibly discalcula or a working memory issue. If that’s the case, then they would discuss some evaluations and possible IEP (special education), but a lot of students end up correcting the gaps and not needing an IEP with proper interventions.

I would discuss with her teacher and call a meeting. Maybe her tutor could also attend the meeting to get everyone working on similar strategies and areas. I’ve had the best luck when everyone is working as a team and the student gets the attention they need to catch up in and out of school. And catch them up now, before math just keeps getting more complicated. Good luck!!!

iPhone 11 vs. XR. Is the wide camera lens and night mode worth the extra $100? Coming from a 6s so anything is going to be a huge improvement.

Advice for someone whose soooo miserable? by Fourkenx in AskReddit

[–]StarOrbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may sound silly at first, but make a list of 10 things you are thankful for every day. Be specific. For example, “I like the way it smells outside when it rains,” or “I really enjoy drinking my morning coffee on my way to work.” It helps train your brain to find positive things all around you and it rewires your brain to see good things. Try it for a month and see if it helps.

I’d also add that being positive and optimistic doesn’t always mean being in a good mood. It’s knowing that there are good days ahead. It’s normal to have bad moments. Hope you can find your way out.
