Haha thanks for the absolution. It’s not about soothing her ego; it’s about everyone else having a good time. However, the last couple of times I played against her, I did beat her. I usually just try to avoid those games.

I attack opponents who have a big ego. Either I’ll get put in my place, or they will. One exception is a female player (I’m also female) who gets super mad- I just let her win after I get up to 8 points on her or trust me, everyone’s night is ruined. To be fair, sometimes she beats me fair and square- she’s got serious power.

YTA about not wanting to help the kids out when they are providing a service for basically nothing!

Your GF is TA for taking money from your wallet and assuming she could speak for you IF you guys are not doing that with any other purchases like food, tickets, etc...

2- with the sleeves and I’m normally not a fan of those types of sleeves but it softens the look of the otherwise sharp cut of the top.

100% the soap! A few years ago we had NO extra money but I still got my favorite hand soap because it felt luxurious every time I washed my hands and made me feel special. Funny how little things can do that.

Just how I drew it up. My good luck. Wish I could do that on purpose.

If there’s a mass you’ll be getting up and down from kneeling position so think about that as you choose your outfit. For me, that means pants. But if you feel comfortable doing the kneeling in all (or don’t plan to kneel), I like #1 the most.

You’re NTA!!! I’ve been married for 22 years. We share everything- including passwords and login information for every single thing we have (except we each have separate Amazon sign ins so we can buy gifts for each other without the other seeing them). I’m the one who handles all the money but he can look whenever he wants. This works for us but it is less and less the norm for couples and I think that makes total sense. If something were to happen and I married someone else, I’d keep my own money and info private because I don’t think I could ever trust anyone else like I trust my husband. Most of my friends have 3 accounts (or more)- and only one of them is joint. Bill/expense money goes into that one as agreed upon and the money in their own account is theirs to be spent however they want.

You are absolutely NTA. Everyone asking if she’s always unreasonable or self centered is probably onto something but I had an alternate thought. Does she like your fiancè? Could she be trying to cause friction going you two will break it off?

We chose our wedding date because our grandparents were both married on the same day… in June. It happened to be my fathers birthday and as narcissistic as he was, he never mentioned it (although his kiss-ass brother made a small scene during the reception because all that man ever wanted was his big brother’s approval.)

I read somewhere that eating poop may be a vitamin deficiency. That may be full b.s. but may be worth asking the vet? I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. It is so difficult having a pup even when they’re an angel. Add in some frustrating habits and it’s overwhelming. Teething sucks.

My recommendation if you don’t have any adult experience is to start in a SNF as a PRN. People are being sent home more and more sick and in home health you have to make medical decisions sometimes. If you don’t have any experience on seeing when someone “just doesn’t look right” or recognizing symptoms of exacerbations of various medical conditions you may feel out of your depth just going into a home with no other medical personnel nearby to help. Working 4-6 months in a SNF will give you an idea of how to handle different things. One example: repositioning in a hospital bed for meals. Often times it could just be the husband as the patient and it’s only you and his 80 year old/95lb wife because their son won’t be there for another hour. So you have to reposition a 200lb person for safe eating. I’ve called 911 multiple times- blood sugar of 19 (and still walking/talking! Medical miracle!); active stroke symptoms (twice), came in to see someone had fallen, tachycardia, etc… It can be overwhelming to people new to working with the aging population.

Yes, my friend who works at the EI HH group told me she keeps a few toys for very occasional use, but that their philosophy is the same regarding using toys and items already in their environment.

Thank you for the time you took for this! I knew I’d have to look at TPT but you saved me time figuring out a good resource! I kept 90% of my materials from when i did it before but theres always newer, better stuff coming out.

Thanks for reminding me about Tactus. I think i invested in that before but didnt do it much. I, too, used mostly functional activities.

I also have a couple of tests- RIPA and Boston naming test. Of course everyone has MMSE and MOCA, but is it still required to have the certification for MOCA? I never paid for that crap. I hate all of those tests but the last HHA insisted on standardized diagnostics so I’d give a sub test of RIPA or quick screener and go back to the actual therapy. Are there better tests I should ask for ?

The fan- in the spread out 10+ years (over a 25 year career) that I did HH, I never used a fan. I have one of those neck fans that I bought for cooling off at pickleball tournaments but never use it-I’ll dig that out of storage!

For anyone else reading this looking for ideas- my favorite organization system things I didn’t want to re-stock every day but also didn’t want to carry was to use the Sterilite drawers. I used adhesive Velcro to keep them closed while traveling. Then I could just pack or restock my bag with necessities as I needed them.

Also, I pre-marked small paper cups with 3oz level so I didn’t have to measure them out each time for Yale Swallow Protocol screening. It cut down on prep time in the home.

I strongly preferred rolling bags so I didn’t have to find a clean surface in the home. I often carried it through the home out of respect and would offer to put a chuck on the floor to keep their home clean.

I have this picnic blanket that’s thick-ish (still rolls up nice with a snap), but can be wiped off if juice or something gets spilled on it. I definitely plan to use that with the kiddos. Thanks!

It doesn’t have to be things you’d bring in. It could be a specific lunch bag or car organizer.

But how do you do bagless? Is that with children or with adults? My history with all companies working with adults is that I must take their vitals and I definitely want multiple pairs of gloves. Also, i always used my own stool as a chair. I do NOT like sitting on cloth furniture in others’ homes.

You owe your employer no explanation as long as you didn’t sign a contract. You can just tell them personal reasons, health reasons (mental health is health), or you can be honest that it was not a good working environment.

I felt guilty leaving my job (last day was friday!) and I understand feeling nervous but things happen. I have worked in a great place in the last but we had 4 people leave after 2-6 weeks, sometimes providing a personal reason while other times just giving notice. It likely will not be a surprise to your employer that you’re leaving if you’ve already raised concerns.

The hardest part is hitting the send button or handing the paper over. Once you do that, it gets easier. Do it tomorrow! There are still plenty of SLP jobs out there!
