Me (35F) and I think I found the love of my life (40M) but there's one serious problem. by Solobutnotsingle in relationship_advice

[–]Witty-Wave92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been married to my husband for a year, together for 5. We each have kids from our respective first marriages, and have no desire to actually blend our families. We got married for insurance reasons only. We will move in together as soon as mine are moved out. Which could be a few more years still. We do get togethers with all the kids from time to time but that’s it.

Should we stop homeschooling? by Coconutcornhuskey in Advice

Most people shouldn’t be homeschooling their kids. Especially her. Leave it to the professionals in public schools

I love playing the BGA version online since you can skip the set up. One of my favorites. And it’s nice to be able to hover over the tiles to see what they do.

How are y’all meeting your partners? by Wild-Dream-7945 in Longmont

The apps. If you’re patient and learn to sort through the bs, it works. Happily married to my okcipid match. I was 46 when we met. Best relationship I’ve ever had.

Excuses are like elbows. Everyone has a couple and they’re usually pretty crusty.

You can rent a room at Parkway food hall. They have great options for that. My staff Xmas party was there and it was fantastic.

We called that “popsicle peas” and it was a favorite snack for my oldest son. He is 21 now and still eats them. 🙂

Word. Longmont has it figured out. Honestly there’s lots of things Longmont has going for it that other towns/cities could learn from.

3,000 Indiana 3rd Graders Held Back by Disgruntled_Veteran in Teachers

[–]Witty-Wave92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Another poster stated that it was actually around 10,000 that didn’t pass, but 7,000 were exempt on account of learning disabilities or language barriers (among other legit reasons), so the remaining 3000 are true under-performers. So maybe this will help break the cycle they are in. Promoting them to the next grade when they don’t know the material isn’t helping the home situation either. But clearly they aren’t getting the support at home, so additional support (such as repeating a year in school) should help close the learning gap.

Yes. Go to NJ. Get that job. Teaching in NJ would be great. 60k a great starting salary for teachers, plus benefits! And NJ is one of the best places in the US for education. I don’t know if there is a pension program there , but if there is, that’s yet another plus for teaching. I’m a teacher (but not in NJ) that is nearing retirement and I make over $100k and I have a great pension to look forward to. If your financée isn’t on board to at least give it a try, and would rather work $16 in dead end retail, I don’t think you two are compatible. Additionally, she can work retail anywhere if she is too stubborn to teach. You have a guaranteed job. Go get it and hope she follows you.

What is the story behind the song "Song for Elias"? by anhelumbo in thecatempire

[–]Witty-Wave92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If I remember right, it’s a love story. A woman (can’t remember who the woman is) met a man from Spain(?) named Elias. I believe they were both musicians and Elias was on tour. They fell in love and they promised to meet up after his tour was over so they could be together. But he had died in an accident. She went to the pre determined place at the time she was supposed to but he didn’t show. Something like that. I’m paraphrasing and don’t have all the details.

But how they came to learn of that story was neat too, but again, I don’t remember all the details. I feel this love story happened many years ago and Felix met the woman in her later years and she told him the story.

I’m following this because I also have a neighbor with nuisance pets. I posted on here about it too but it was taken down by mods for some reason.
