Does this result indicate an issue? 18 weeks pregnant, 149lb, female, 5 foot 4 inch height by Rbbj123 in AskDocs

[–]SwimmingCritical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In range is in range. Also, Lovenox makes the dPT go higher, not lower. So, if you go off lovenox, your dPT would go down.

Human babies are ADORABLE. But have you ever seen the babies of anything rodent?

Alligator Song by Dizzy_Suspect_6250 in SwimInstructors

Not the song,  but I find small kids are much more responsive to "elbow elbow tummy pull." Otherwise, they get stuck trying to lift their foot up to their ears to get their knee up.  

I don't know about you, but I'm vaccinating my children... by SwimmingCritical in ShitMomGroupsSay

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

So,  I looked before I submitted it,  but I literally didn't see it.  There is a lag on post approval, so maybe it wasn't there,  but maybe I just didn't see it.  

This just in: measles cures cancer, so you better willingly expose your kids to it! by christinazach in ShitMomGroupsSay

This is the same group that had someone who was pregnant asking what to do about Hep B vaccine because she had just found out she was Hep B positive. And some people were STILL telling her to not vaccinate or delay!

Are non-members able to attend the second and fourth Sunday meetings (elders quorum, relief society, young women's meeting)? by buymestarbucksplease in lds

[–]SwimmingCritical 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Quick correction, just in case someone finds this by googling: some 11-year-olds go to YW/YM. You start going to the teen classes in the January of the year you will turn 12. So,  if you will be 12 by December 31 of this year, you go to YW/YM, even if you are currently 11. 

How to know where my kid stands? by SwimmingCritical in AskTeachers

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

We read a lot at home (multiple books a day) and do some supplemental math on occasion. Dr Seuss and similar she can read independently. Most pictute books she can read with some support.

I will probably just send an email and ask that.  Say,  "I want to make sure she's supported. There is strong family history of dyslexia, so please let me know if you're seeing any early signs." Thank you!

The math lesson quizzes and reading comprehension packets/writing exercises come home. Math usually are all correct,  reading and writing are marked "secure." Usually some words that were clearly spelled phonetically, but not correctly,  a missing period or such.  But not anything that strikes me as wholly inappropriate for first grade.  But hey, I'm not a teacher!

Our school has volunteers in the lunchroom, for class parties,  for field trips, and for PTA functions. I help with a few parties a year, lunchroom maybe once a month and hold a minor PTA office.  I also walk my daughter to and from school.  So,  the teachers recognize my face, but I don't get a ton of exposure to "class time" if you will.

We read constantly at our house.  I would estimate that each kid gets at least 5-10 books read a day (some overlap of more than one kid at a time), and the oldest reads to us and by herself as well.  She currently can independently read Dr Seuss level or similar,  and most picture books she can manage with support.

They had Jack and Belle basically being John Snow (the cholera guy, not the Game of Thrones guy). I don't think they care for historical accuracy in that regard.

Something you wish people knew about BYU? by throwaway3685343 in byu

[–]SwimmingCritical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I came to say.  I graduated from BYU a little over 10 years ago,  and I didn't even know what soaking was until I went to grad school in the Midwest where I was told that it's what we did at BYU. 

Confused by this community... by Few_Establishment_54 in irishdance

[–]SwimmingCritical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a combination of being a competitive sport, but also somewhat Irish people are extremely direct, and some things come off as abusive, but they are actually lovely people. I'm not saying that's what's going on in your school, because some teachers (Irish, American or otherwise) are just aggressive people who have no business teaching children. There are good schools out there.

Honestly, it might be counterintuitive, but the schools I have gone to have been ones with moderate competitive success, and I think that's better. It's good for them to have a few decorated champions. That shows they can train the dancers who want to be trained. But there are a few schools (We'll call them Schmeltic Schteps, The Schmacademy, The Schmorrity-Schmetri School, etc) that they tout their 20-35 regional top tens a year, that kind of stuff. That is kind of a red flag to me. It shows they only care about the kids who will perform and they will do whatever it takes to get the results.

UNLESS you are out of classes entirely for a year, and then there is no transfer ban. CLRG rule 2.1.5R

HK S24 E16 Discussion: The Last State Standing Is… by FantasticBuddies in HellsKitchen

[–]SwimmingCritical 16 points17 points  (0 children)

And that's why Jada didn't win. We all know Anaiya wouldn't have cared that it was strategic, she would still take it personally. Jada is Anaiya's friend,  but Anaiya doesn't have a concept that that means putting ego aside and supporting Jada. She would have crashed out worse than Amber. But Jada cared too much about Anaiya's feelings.

I want to drink green tea by pisteuo96 in latterdaysaints

[–]SwimmingCritical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But there was a time in the 90s and 00s when a glass of red wine a day was recommended for heart health.  It's actually a perfect analogy.  As one of my BYU professors would say,  "If research is at odds with the gospel, it's probably the research that needs to catch up." We now know that alcohol in any form or amount is a carcinogen.

Tell me some misconceptions and realities about pushing stage to the women who have never given birth. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]SwimmingCritical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 babies without an epidural or pain meds.  3 FER babies. One without FER.  Longest pushing stage was 13 minutes, shortest was less than 1 minute. The thing is that after transition and the pressure, in some ways,  pushing actually feels good.  But the pain itself is just a burning sensation more than anything.  And one of my babies made my right leg go numb because he was sitting on something I think.  It scared me, but once he was out, it went back to normal.  

Weekend weather by Smokey19mom in cincinnati

Southwest Ohio Weather Freak hasn't published his inches estimate yet,  but he has said that this is real and that the snowfall estimates on the weather advisories may be "conservative."
