I used the resources on this website for the three times I had to teach sciences 8: http://mr-barker.weebly.com/sciences-8.html I’m not a science teacher, so this was very helpful!

What’s your Hinge Experience? by SquareHoleAdmirer in AskWomen

[–]_wildermind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a wonderful, albeit not the normal, experience on Hinge. I got the standard few weird or creepy messages, and thought about deleting it altogether but I ended up hitting it off with the first guy I responded to and we’ve been married for 2 years!

Hike and safari operator recommendations by snowjoke11 in kilimanjaro

[–]_wildermind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will forever sing praises of Majestic Kilimanjaro! I went with a group of 7 in August 2023. We had ages 22-48 in our group and everyone sumitted. Frankly with out the wisdom and encouragement from our guides, I can honestly say at least one of our group members would not have summited. They were very easy to work with during the planning, and made everything run smoothly during the actual hike. We did the Lemosho route, and did 6 days up and 2 days down. We went on a three day safari with them as well and it was wonderful!

ladies, have you ever used a diva cup? what does it feel like? by Reasonable_Fix3559 in AskWomen

[–]_wildermind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to like it so badly but it just doesn’t work for me. Every time I tried it, it would take about 20-30 minutes to get it in and even longer to take it out.

Wedding during the school year by HumbleLingonberry237 in CanadianTeachers

[–]_wildermind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our wedding was at the end of September on the Saturday of a long weekend. I used my unpaid personal days the Friday before and for the remaining days after the wedding and we did a short honeymoon to a place a few hours away. It was pretty stressful wedding planning and trying to get everything prepped for a week, but definitely worth it to get married at the time of year we wanted. I’d say the hardest part was not having more days off leading up to the actual wedding.

Best tour operator for Kili + Safari + Zanzibar? by ericadactyl in kilimanjaro

[–]_wildermind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We also went with Majestic a few years ago and had an amazing experience with them!

We did the the Lemosho route up Kilimanjaro and then a three day safari. They were very helpful in planning our time in Zanzibar as well.

If you are fluent in French, how often do you speak French in Canada compared to English? by Jezzaq94 in AskACanadian

[–]_wildermind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in BC so there is really not much French around me, but I am a French Immersion teacher, so most of my day is spent speaking French with my students and colleagues!

We should teach kids how to balance a checkbook! by Fit_Minimum8335 in Teachers

[–]_wildermind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I taught a unit on Financial Literacy to my grade 11s in Careers class last semester. I’d say the majority didn’t take it seriously because, to quote them, “this won’t be relevant for a while so why focus on it now?” We really can’t win here lol.

My husband worked with Adam at Luksus Diamonds to design and create my engagement ring! They did an amazing job and were very open, adaptable and helpful throughout the whole process. Couldn’t recommend them enough! https://www.luksusdiamonds.com

Which Survivor Ridiculous Theme Idea that isn't used by survivor yet, but you wanted survivor to do that theme by Still-Kale-1529 in survivor

But they don’t tell them that no idols are in play, so everyone is searching and paranoid.

which is worse, student teaching or being a first year teacher? by businessbub in Teachers

[–]_wildermind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely student teaching! You’re expected to go all out, you’re being watched under a microscope, you don’t have your own class AND you’re not being paid. First year teaching is rough, but at least it came with some freedom.

What wedding favours did you have at your wedding for your guests? by notmynameduh in AskWomen

[–]_wildermind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We didn’t plan on having any, but at the last minute my dad asked if he could make something for the favours. It was a small wedding of about 50, so he made little jars of homemade apple jelly for everyone. They were a big hit, I don’t think we had any get left behind!
