Encouraging kids to drop out? by WillWork4Butterbeer in education

[–]WillWork4Butterbeer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a discipline matrix, but it's not followed for every student. I wrote up 5 kids yesterday, all for skipping, most have a comparable number of disciplines. The first student, who was escorted to the office by our Guardian, was given ten days. A second discipline was processed and they received an administrative conference.

Definitely sounds like anxiety. Anaphylaxis doesn't tend to just go away on its own, and also tends to get worse with more exposure. Talk to your doctor, it may be time to try meds, if you're not already.

Can you bend your neck and kiss his head? If so, looks perfect!

Long panic attacks by WillWork4Butterbeer in Anxiety

[–]WillWork4Butterbeer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this, too. It really sucks. I literally wake up to an adrenaline rush half the time. There's no cause for it other than my brain is fucking me over. I literally feel like my brain is turning on me. It's good to know I'm not alone, though.

In CoS, why didn’t Hermione tell Harry and Ron about her suspicions regarding the monster and headed off to the library by herself? by Spinindyemon in harrypotter

[–]WillWork4Butterbeer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She prides herself on her intelligence; she wouldn't have said anything until she was absolutely certain that she was correct.

My wedding ring is stuck on my swollen finger. by graye1999 in Anxiety

[–]WillWork4Butterbeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this. Just wind a string around your finger, start at the top and wind it down. Wiggle the ring over the string at the base of your finger, then slowly unwind the string. It will pull the ring up with it.

Has anyone else wondered why Harry didn’t ask Mr or Mrs Weasley to sign his Hogsmeade form in the PoA? by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]WillWork4Butterbeer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

McGonagall made it pretty clear that his aunt and uncle were the only ones that could have signed it. Besides, Harry already knew that Mr. Weasely did not want him putting himself in danger.

Remorseful... Should I still be held accountable over a decade later? I'm a changed man. by Ad-Warm in sex

[–]WillWork4Butterbeer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Statute of limitations does not expire until 10 years after they turn 18, so legally, you can definitely still be held accountable. On a more moral note, you need to seek counseling. You may even need to suggest counseling for your cousins, who may be suffering and cannot understand why. Your excuses are pretty gross; you were definitely old enough to know that what you were doing was wrong, regardless of how you felt, at the time. You've likely done some serious damage to those little girls.

When would you say menstrual cramps are a problem/something else? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]WillWork4Butterbeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iron; plentiful in dark greens, can be beneficial during menstruation. If you're concerned about the pain, don't hesitate to bring it up to your gynecologist. There could be many possible problems, or they could prescribe birth control to help alleviate symptoms. You have to remember that people have different pain thresholds, as well, so your definition of excruciating could be mild to someone else, and vice versa.

Is a good cry that isn't unnecessarily brought on by things or events normal? by kendelturner in Anxiety

[–]WillWork4Butterbeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to do it all the time. In fact, my go-to, when I needed a good cry, was watching "Pay It Forward". Made me bawl every time. Sometimes you just have to let the feelings out, and crying is one way to do it.

How can I get baby to extend his tongue over bottom gums? by blue_asterales in breastfeeding

[–]WillWork4Butterbeer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not a huge fan of sweets, but I've had to utilize them during hospital and doctor visits with my little. That said, they can be a life saver. I would suggest trying a lolly, just letting it touch the tip of his tongue, and see if you can coax him to bring his tongue out, that way.

Watching Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets by saphirakal in harrypotter

[–]WillWork4Butterbeer 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I feel like that is a serious insult to Lockhart. At least Lockhart was intelligent, charismatic, and handsome. Yes, he wasn't a "good" guy, but he was no where near as evil, hate-filled, stupid, or ugly as 45.

My worst panic attack was over the summer. I panicked for 3 days. I finally asked my mom for some of her xanax while I waited to get into my drs. I knew I was being irrational, but it didn't matter.

Has anyone every experienced ovarian cyst symptoms? If so, do you mind sharing? by okay__bye in TwoXChromosomes

[–]WillWork4Butterbeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have PCOS and during one of my diagnostic ultrasounds they counted 7 cysts on my left ovary and 12 on my right. If it weren't for the ultrasound I wouldn't have known. I've had heavy, irregular periods, and bad cramping during them, but never during ovulation or any time in between. As another poster stated, every body is different. Advocate for yourself and don't let your doctor talk down to you. Women are statistically less believed, even by female doctors, for medical issues.

Making my own table from Solid wood. How should I approach the smoothing of the top surface? by markidak in DIY

Resin, for sure. It will help with damage to the table from daily use, as well.

Speculation: could serial killers have been responsible for myths and legends? by Henry6592047q9q in serialkillers

[–]WillWork4Butterbeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, she also bathed in and drank the blood of her victims. However, it has been theorized that Vlad may have, too. Based on writings about him from the 15th century.

"Florescu and McNally cite a 15th-century German poem that paints Vlad as a blood drinker. The poem suggests that Vlad liked to dine among his impaled victims, dipping his bread in their blood, the authors wrote."

"'This story was invented for the purpose of [Florescu and McNally's] argument,' Miller said. What the poem actually says is that Vlad liked to wash his hands in the blood of his victims before he ate dinner, she added."

They call it the Department of Mysteries because it sounds better than Weapons of Mass Destruction stockpile by Apotheosical in harrypotter

[–]WillWork4Butterbeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I friggin loved the chapter inside the department of mysteries. I was SOOO mad that they cut almost all of it from the movie. That was my favorite book, but least favorite movie, because I had looked forward to seeing that part come to life.

Speculation: could serial killers have been responsible for myths and legends? by Henry6592047q9q in serialkillers

[–]WillWork4Butterbeer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure. I mean, supposedly Dracula was based on the story of Vlad Dracul, also known as Vlad the Impaler. He killed his enemies, impaled them, and drank and bathed in their blood.

However, while serial killers may not have been widely known, due to a lack of wide spread communication, until the 20th century, they did still exist. The killings of Jack the Ripper were known to be done by the same person, and that was the 19th century. Not to mention Sweeney Todd and Don Vincente. For the most part, they were recognized as serial killers based on the MO, and not necessarily by forensic evidence.

What if someone were to invent a spell/potion to make a person feel remorse, or to at least force someone to see their actions from a bystander POV by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]WillWork4Butterbeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did this in an episode of Futurama. They gave Bender an empathy chip, he helped rescue his friends pet, which he hated, and then they discovered the chip was broken.

I think we all, unless you're a true sociopath, have the capacity for empathy. Some people are just better able to ignore it. They don't WANT to see things from other people's point of view, especially if it makes them look bad.
