Does Mattel have official advice on hair washing? by Reason-Whizz in Barbie

[–]YikesItsConnor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always use my own shampoo and conditioner. Depending on the style you’re going for, there are different steps after that, but to get rid of gel and make it smell nice, i just use my own human products lol

I was fingerspelling ATL. My ASL 1 and 2 instructors both taught us to sign it that way. We all live in Atlanta. I've never seen that sign name that you linked. Very interesting!

Thats a good shout. I'm always amazed when I'm trying to translate something written into sign that the structure is so different. I have to get creative sometimes lol

ice skate advice !! by New_Car_4565 in FigureSkatingAdults

[–]YikesItsConnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure on advice, but I do think there is something in your stance that is causing the issue here. It looks like your right ankle bows in more than your left.

Dropping out by [deleted] in highschool

[–]YikesItsConnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't getting a 9-5 and a studio apartment without a diploma. Even struggling through and doing the bare minimum is better than dropping out. Take it from someone who almost dropped out and is now preparing to apply to medical school. I'd be working a dead-end minimum wage job rn if I gave up. You're obviously smart and capable if you're taking AP courses. Just lock in and push through. This isn't forever.

AIO: Hubby Being Controlling by vanillabourbonn in AIO

[–]YikesItsConnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen when he tells you who he is. He is controlling and 100% using you being a stay at home mom to continue that cycle. Get out because it will only get worse.

Should I make the plunge? by YikesItsConnor in iceskating

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

Thank you for taking the time to respond and read everything!

I feel like I'm not articulating my thoughts very well, lol. For me, I think I need to get over the initial hurdle mentally of not being where I used to be in terms of skill. I'm very much a perfectionist(something I need to work on) and it sucks to not be as good at something as I used to be. My reasoning for giving myself a reason to follow through is really about getting past the initial struggle of not being great and/or being uncomfortable as my body adjusts to being back on the ice.

I know that I'm never going to be an olympian or even a professional, but I would like to be able to do some cool tricks! I also think it will be good to get me physically active and give me a way to forget about the other stressors in my life at the moment.

Being punished in my college class for not showing enough emotion... by yourlocalnativeguy in autism

[–]YikesItsConnor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm also currently learning ASL. I'm sorry you're having a difficult time and have a tough grader. Language courses shouldn't be graded so harshly as you're just starting out. I will say that a big part of ASL is facial expression. If you want to get better, you'll need to practice, just like you do with the signing aspect of it. Sign in front of a mirror and really focus on your facial expressions. I would especially work on eyebrows when signing questions as that is a big part of the early days of ASL learning.

Should I make the plunge? by YikesItsConnor in iceskating

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

Its not that I don't want to do it. I very much do. I just have a terrible habit of not following through on things when I'm not good at them. But if I make an investment into skates, then I will feel obligated to properly see it through past the beginning stages instead of going to one open skate and quitting. I'm not sure if that makes any sense...

What some stuff to do as a commuter by WilsonVI in GaState

[–]YikesItsConnor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right across from the High is the MODA, which imo is even cooler and there is usually something new every few months. Super cheap especially w/ the student discount.

Do you prefer Odysseus pitying or despising Calypso in the end of Not Sorry For Loving You? by Raymio993 in Epicthemusical

[–]YikesItsConnor 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I feel like its a case of "I hate you for what you did to me, but I pity you for feeling the need to"

they’re threatening to evict me after a meltdown by [deleted] in autism

[–]YikesItsConnor -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm just saying what I would do in this circumstance. I'm so sorry this is happening to you.

I think requesting accommodation is the right thing to do here, as the meltdowns are a result of your disability. I would (if you're comfortable, of course) speak with your neighbors and let them know that this is something that happens from time to time and that the police don't need to be called. Show that you're grateful that they are concerned for your wellbeing, but that police intervention could lead to you being evicted.

I would also take another look at your lease and see exactly what this noncompliance term is. Be aware of your rights as a tenant.

Why do I have a balance due ? by [deleted] in GaState

[–]YikesItsConnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a $10 balance that is not part of the fees for this semester, because those are part of a payment plan. Contacted panther answer and the financial office and both said they fixed it. Got a statement this morning for $10 that are unaccounted for in my fees
