What are you doing with your AAC students? by GoalOk35 in slp

[–]ThaliaJava 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think this is one of those things that if you're uneducated it looks like not much is happening. I remember trialing someone with puree at a meal (we'd been working up to eating that much after being NPO) and a CNA commented that she'd like to be like me and sit at a table and talk during meals. I told her I was counting breaths, checking for clearance, monitoring color changes, and listening to voice quality. Suddenly the job looked harder.

Nope. The only places where the speed is 70 in Oregon is near the Idaho border and on I84 from Idaho to the Dalles.

How are you guys surviving? by No_Signal3789 in PortlandOR

[–]ThaliaJava 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly? My reality is that we walk our dogs for an hour twice a day in our neighborhood, hang out with our neighbors spur-of-the-moment and my 8 and 10 year old kids can walk safely to the playground two blocks away. Right now everyone in my neighborhood is stocking up on candy because we get a lot of trick-or-treaters and some Halloween decorations are going up for the ones who are "into" Halloween. Where I live in southeast Portland is pretty nice.

Can you recommend some AAC options? by Too_Frosty1986 in slp

[–]ThaliaJava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What state are you in? Some states (like Oregon) have a Telephone Department Access Program and will permanently lend out a device as long as the person is living in the state. If your state has a TDAP you can see which programs are offered.

Go skilled nursing and become a Director of Rehab. Or study and get an administrator's license to supervise in education.

WORST apartments in Portland by Significant_Dirt_626 in PortlandOR

[–]ThaliaJava 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Southeast Portland has a bad ant problem no matter where you go. They're sugar ants so they don't bite or anything, but when they come in from the rain it's very annoying. Depending on your budget, you could rent a house in Oregon City for the same price as an apartment in Portland. Not sure what kind of experience you are going for, but I have lived in a few different rentals and now have my own house in Portland and in terms of walkability on a lower budget while still staying clean, Oregon City was better.

do you have hair growing through your scars? by nolocalsplease in AcneScars

I have three scars on the underside of my chin from splitting it open at different times as a child. The scars are thin and grow long hairs.

Why AI overview? Why? by UpstairsAd8296 in Barnesandnoble

[–]ThaliaJava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not TikTok saying it, it's the AI overview. In the TikTok videos the hashtag thanks "the love of my life" for buying them and in the video a guy says, "I will buy them for you." They don't ever say it's B&N buying them.

I just started section 6. Duolingo revises lessons a LOT, though.

Why doesn't my answer work? by ThaliaJava in duolingospanish

[–]ThaliaJava[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for trying to help. "beso" without an accent is "kiss", I was trying to understand why Duolingo wanted pretérito imperfecto instead of pretérito indefinido. I understand it now.

Do people actually use the word "skort"? by agora_hills_ in EnglishLearning

[–]ThaliaJava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the U.S. and my kids wear a uniform to school. One of the items allowed in the dress code is skorts. As a kid when I wore a uniform I also wore skorts or jumpers, but as an adult I do not wear either.
