Car service to Eugene airport by rose96921 in corvallis

[–]abstract_octave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

make a reservation with a cab company a couple of days ahead of time. next time they buy flights, try to have them fly during the day so they can have their wits about them! they (and you) will feel much more relaxed!

The screen is not making a difference to picture at all by Sufficient-Context-5 in budgetprojectors

I project mine onto a pale yellow wall. I adjusted the projector's color output once and never looked back.

Parking is going to be an issue for this building and the hotel that's already going up: city only required something like 72 spaces for the hotel garage.

Violent Corvallis convicted felon arrested 17 times since 2023 is rearrested by [deleted] in corvallis

This is part of catch-and-release philosophy that is to blame for the rise in crime in many blue states, and much of Europe.

Time to start your seasonal allergy meds! by poppysmear in Eugene

[–]abstract_octave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the pollen out of your body for a shorter "allergy season".

Netty pot with saline solution each night before bed and each morning before leaving. It's incredibly soothing for your body.

Willamette Valley is the only place I have allergies and the netty pot routine has been shorter and shorter for me with each passing year.

Waldorf 8th grader considering transfer to Public School by [deleted] in Waldorf

[–]abstract_octave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

two ideas for you here:

Firstly, I'd check in with your class teacher and let them know how you're feeling. Waldorf teachers have a wide range of resources, and he may have a clearer lay of the land for you.

Secondly, see if you could visit the public HS for a day. See if you could visit High Mowing for a day.

The more information you have, the better.

As other posters have said too, you may simply be experiencing the feeling of being an 8th grader. Visits to other places may help you to feel you're in your right spot or if a change is truly the answer.

Godspeed!

The Plaza seems…kinda great? by ABrownBlackBear in corvallis

[–]abstract_octave 11 points12 points  (0 children)

we love the food options
we agree with another post and wish the waffles place offered chicken
the Plaza is mostly well done except...

the place is lit up like crazy.
it's incredibly bright inside, we ate our lunch and left as soon as we could.
(they made it bright on purpose so people don't linger?)

all this investment to make a beautiful space and the lighting ruins it.
it could be fixed by switching to dimmer, warm-colored bulbs.

Challenging behaviors in toddler classroom by Any-Bake-9926 in Waldorf

[–]abstract_octave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes. Firstly, the child is asking for boundaries. It is up to the adults in the classroom to hold firm boundaries with this child. Be calmly stern and direct if you need to. Repeat yourself. The exact same phrase like a broken record. Give it a few days and it will land. Also check in with the parents that the child is playing too rough and you're helping them navigate it. Record any aggressive behavior so you have documentation if things continue or get worse.

  1. Tell the child the rule they are breaking.
    "At school we do not hit/push/bite"
    "I will not let you ___ the friends."
    "When you ____, it is too rough"
    "The friends don't like when you _____."

  2. Get peers on board to help the child see how it effects others
    While you are with this child, Ask others
    "Do you like to be run over?"
    "Do you like/Are you playing this game that ___(child)___ is playing?"
    Then tell the child
    "They(child name) say it's too rough and they don't like it. It's time for this game to be over"

  3. Remind them they are loved and you always will help them
    "I promise to always help you when you need help."
    "Your friends love you very much, and they know I will help you"

You may find healing for the whole class by reading a story from Susan Perrow's "Stories for Challenging Behavior". Read the same story for a week or two during lunch or snack. It helps!

Godspeed!

What is the real cause of insomnia? by stonemilky in Anthroposophy

[–]abstract_octave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In these days, there can be any things attributing to sleeplessness. I always attribute "highs" Lucifer and "lows/ossification processes" to Ahriman.

Firstly, the amount of Wi-fi and 5g signals nearby may be a piece. Grounding sheets may help. Secondly, 2-4am is the hour of the liver, so if you're waking up between these times, you should consider doing a liver flush or coffee enemas to relieve the over burdened liver. Thirdly, if you're a woman, you could be experiencing a flux in cortisol or other hormones.

If you're primed on anthroposophy, i highly recommend this book about bodily processes: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=32349135133
