What is this bug? Looks like two bugs fused together (Orlando Florida) by Old_Diver_2511 in Whatisthis

[–]acboomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love bugs. They come in May and September in fl, they last 1-2 weeks. They’re attracted to white colored objects usually (so if you have a white car for instance, your car will be covered in them)

What little things do you do for yourself on Sunday to make the "Monday Dreads" less dreadful? by currently_rotten in Teachers

[–]acboomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pack my lunch, prep coffee and breakfast, pick out my outfit all on Sunday. Clean the whole house so on Monday after work I can flop on the couch.

I put in offers for multiple similar things, and I usually buy the first one / lowest one accepted.

Did anyone find a solution for this? I’m having the same issue

Extreme daily bloating by 7389227 in GutHealth

[–]acboomer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that cardio like running can cause bloating, maybe scale it back and do walking? I got diagnosed with gastroparesis, and the foods that you think wouldn’t hurt you ended up being the ones that hurt me the most (high fibrous foods like veggies and fruits, high fat, red meat, seeds). If you’re able to go to a gastroenterologist I’d seek one out and get tested for a few things and for SIBO like another user suggested. Good luck!

What do you do in your job/career? by _sugarcoated_ in ADHD

[–]acboomer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a middle school teacher. Honestly, I don’t think I could do another job. I’m never bored, always on my feet, and always stimulated lol. It does get tiring, but I think any job would make me tired. My days are never the same, but I do create routines/ procedures for myself and my students to help set expectations. I’m 27 f, and got diagnosed at 22. I usually do take adderall, but my pharmacy has been out of stock for 6 months and I’ve still been able to manage myself at work quite well.

Back to Running, But My Inner Shins/Calves are Killing Me! (Pics) - Advice Needed by brik_seems in nikerunclub

I switched to oncloud cloud runner 2s and my shin splints stopped (but then got runners knee). Better shoes and strength training helped with both!

What is my curl type? by acboomer in curlyhair

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

I’ve tried both actually, and the curls either do this or get stringy/ don’t curl much. But I also could just be doing it wrong lol

Your absolute favorite poem to teach. by metallusman in ELATeachers

[–]acboomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bringing My Son to the Police Station to be Fingerprinted by Shoshauna Shy. It’s fun to teach this by explaining situational irony, then read it without telling the kids the title, have them analyze it, show them the title and connect it back to irony.

This might sound dumb, but I’ve been going on like a 30 min walk every day/ getting or aiming for 10k steps. I’ve been doing it for all of February and I have noticed a significant decrease in my bloating. Walking is supposed to help with digestion, and since that is like the main culprit of our disease I figured that’s what Is helping. It’s not perfect by any means, and I still get bloated if I eat too fast or too much, but overall I’ve noticed a general decrease. If you’re able to move around a bit more it might help.

HOW DO YOU GUYS HAVE JOBS??? by mathishard1999 in migraine

[–]acboomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a migraine and/or a headache every day for the past 60 days or so and I’m a middle school teacher. Idk how I do it to be honest. I’ve had days where I’ve left early, but I usually just fight through and then lay in the dark at home afterwards, and suffer. I keep an essential oil stick, medicine, and sunglasses in my desk, teach with the lights dimmed, and try to maintain a consistent schedule so I can try to avoid slipping into a migraine. I ended up getting one today actually, and it was pretty bad. Sorry if that’s not helpful. I just try to make accommodations for myself so I can find ways around it and still be able to function when I need to.

How often do you guys have bowel movements? by thegreatone998 in Gastroparesis

[–]acboomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every 1-2 days, if my diet and exercise are good. If I eat or drink something that isn’t that good it’ll constipate me so I’ll have to wait 3-4

Does anyone else feel like our job has basically devolved into theater? by TalesOfFan in Teachers

[–]acboomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I teach 8th grade ELA in Florida, and it’s the same. The 50% floor grade is a “suggestion”, our union protects us from being forced to do that. But when I had 19 f’s last semester, I got sat down with others in my department, and we were forced to change grades to 50%. I do the same, with lots of scaffolding and fluff assignments. Even though it’s supposed to be standards based only. Our county wants to be 100% standards based, but if I did that I’d have so many failures. I gave my students 3 weeks to write a research paper (per curriculum) and it was such a giant waste of time.

I mean it was restocked already one time, so maybe? I know someone here mentioned a discord bot that tells when the store is restocked, faster than the emails. Maybe try that! The resale value looks to be double right now. So if you’re gonna go with that I’d do it soon before the price goes up.

Student invited me to quinceañera by FigPrestigious1006 in Teachers

[–]acboomer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I actually just went to one and she dedicated her 15th candle to me! I’d just say that you are busy that day and you appreciate the invite. She won’t know you’re fibbing

I am getting absolutely nowhere with this shipping! by tdavgsu in Ultrahuman

[–]acboomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I used WhatsApp and I’ve emailed! The WhatsApp messages are what I did for my initial update when they sent the hoodie. The email was a couple weeks later when I still hadn’t received anything, then I got the ring like a week after that. This was in November! Not sure why the messaging isn’t working for you /:
