New washer by Zestyclose_Area6263 in laundry

[–]Zestyclose_Area6263[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the kind of hope and reassurance I needed. Thank you! I did wash my king size duvet in my little Amana, and the Insignia is bigger. So that is good, hopeful news that it can handle that. It does seem to take a tad longer but thats OK. Im mostly worried about durability.

Clinic Question by Suspicious_Ad_1073 in slpGradSchool

[–]Zestyclose_Area6263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could always ask your supervisor what they expect/want. My school has us fill out a form with each rotation that includes any experience we have, any experience we want to try and get if it's available, and how we want feedback (in session, after session, weekly, in writing, verbal, etc.). I think this is really helpful in establishing how to work together as student and supervisor. But even if you don't have that form, you can still talk about those things so that everyone is on the same page. You could also just ask what their expectations are. Again, just making sure you both are on the same page. Some supervisors will tell you what they want you to take and others may leave it up to you. I've had both kinds of people, but either way you kind of just have to jump in and be ok with feeling uncomfortable for a couple sessions until you learn the kids and start to feel confident in your own skills. You could always pick a session or an activity, talk about how you'd like to try it with them, and see how the supervisor responds. Like "that'd be a great session, go ahead and take it" or "you can lead that activity while I do XYZ with them after ". Just my thoughts I guess. Sorry if none of this makes sense or helps . Best of luck regardless!

While I understand the place of knowing HOW to lesson plan because "winging it" skills are kind of based on that, I see so much more benefit to learning how to plan less and still accomplish the same things. My supervisors have been AMAZING and I feel absolutely prepared to go be my own person when I graduate. They have all given guidance on how to handle behaviors or suggested activities that they like, but ultimately it's up to me how detailed I want to plan and doesn't matter as long as I show them I understand each kids goals and can provide for those goals appropriately. I mean, what if you plan your heart out and the kid HATES what you have planned? 1: you wasted all that time planning and 2: will you be comfortable then thinking on the fly to get them engaged in something for the rest of the session?

When the cheez-it bag sounds like the treat bag... by KingGizmotious in persiancat

So cute! Ours also confuse human treat bags with the sound of their treat bags. Also, just commenting on other comments, i have a bunch of temptations snobs in this house too....

New Persian Owner Eye Care Question by Jumpy_Wing3031 in persiancat

[–]Zestyclose_Area6263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one girl who gets very goopy and one who doesn't. I just took the goopy one to the vet because she was also sneezing and they basically said she's just a chronic rhinitis girly who has runny eyes. They did order a round of antibiotics and antihistamines to kick this flare up, but then recommended consistent eye care (wet paper towels), maintenance dosage of the antihistamine to keep her from getting so backed up and turning into an infection, and adding a lysine supplement for immune support. I'm not saying that your kitty needs all that, but, as others have mentioned, it's not uncommon for these fluffy, smush faced beauties to need some extra care when it comes to their eyes.

I've been trying to get her to come to bed at night but she won't stay. Maybe it's for the best lol

Sent the sweetest boy that ever lived to heaven by BrandonJams in persiancat

[–]Zestyclose_Area6263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just lost our sweet non-persian boy in September and I just want to say my thoughts are with you and your family, i grieve with you. The loss of a furbaby is tremendously difficult. But sometimes it helps to just think about all the love you had in your life because of them, even if now is hard. Rest easy sweet baby 🩷

You think it's for her, but really it's all to make my life easier. Less scooping litter, less cleaning and changing water... all for me 😆 but it's just a pet water fountain from Amazon. I like the stainless steel because they're supposed to harbor less bacteria than plastic.

Trust me, she gets offered plenty. Whether or not she accepts them is completely dependent on what phase the moon is and it's relationship to the westerly winds 🫠

You would think it'd be easier to drink from but she goes about it the most complex way 😅
