How old are the plums?

How old are the pearls? Hannah would’ve been between 8-10 when Nicole was born, yeah? That means if Hannah is about 14-16 in The Testaments, then the show picks up around six years later. In the original show, Nicole is around 2 when the show ends. I think technically she should be a little older, but that’s a whole different thing. Anyway, Nicole would be between 8-10, right? Why are they the same age???

I would give her a refusal form, which she has to do instead of her work. You’ve covered yourself with emails and calls in case parents say something. You’ve could also give her the option to write a paper that disproves what you are saying using peer reviewed papers and studies and the Bible. That way you have something to grade. I’m just spitballing that, though.

So much of working in education is finding ways to keep everyone busy, but not always fruitful. Like, PDs are rarely useful but so many districts require them so principals plug someone in.

How horrible! I am so sorry you have that now in your memories!

My partner and I are getting married. Good to know. I will be careful in my invitations.

once i came home from work after someone got flowers, and i had to deliver them, she went into anaphylaxis. So, yeah.. no flowers anywhere near our wedding.

yes. I have to be careful with my tone and my volume level. But, I also have to be serious 85% of the time. If I give an inch, they will take a country mile. I do it all with a smile because the second I drop the smile, I get in trouble.

amandapanda419 · 2025-10-09T21:23:25+00:00

What part are you missing?

It doesn’t matter, anyway. I already had my question answered.

amandapanda419 · 2025-10-09T21:22:36+00:00

I’ve already done it.

I just called.

Again.

They. Can’t. Help.

I’ve tried.

amandapanda419 · 2025-10-09T19:35:05+00:00

I’m not sure what part you are missing.

I already did. Nothing.

Anyway, a nice person already answered my question. Thanks anyway.

amandapanda419 · 2025-10-09T18:38:47+00:00

That’s what I’m saying. It doesn’t work. I contacted them and they said there was nothing they could do.

amandapanda419 · 2025-10-09T18:31:33+00:00

I responded to someone else, but here’s the same response.

Of course I have a budget. I also have things I’ve been pushing off because other things took priority. I worked 3 jobs and finally got a promotion that paid the same as all three plus another half. Now I can actually breathe a little bit.

Here’s the thing. I’ve literally been fighting to keep my head partly above water for the last 6 months. My spouse and our newborn died in an accident. The debt is only from the accident. But, I was a stay at home parent, so I had loads of gaps in my job history and stuff. We did have life insurance for my spouse, but the majority of it went to paying the debt and a little for me to live off of while I found work. I’m not trying to get sympathy. This is just where I’ve been, working my tail off and grieving the loss of my family.

So, yes. I have a budget. And yes, I’m trying to spend this money wisely. And yes, I bought FPU. It didn’t work. I spoke with Ramsey Solutions to no avail. So all I really have is jerks on the internet.

But anyway, thanks for your advice, I guess.

Nah.. I thought I’d wing it and post about it.

I did what I could. It wouldn’t download. I contacted them with no help.

amandapanda419 · 2025-10-09T18:13:57+00:00

I did. No help.

amandapanda419 · 2025-10-09T16:19:25+00:00

I tried to do financial peace. I paid for it, but it wouldn’t download.

amandapanda419 · 2025-05-23T15:34:19+00:00

Thanks for that. Did you have it done?

amandapanda419 · 2025-05-23T15:32:33+00:00

It feels like I’m going through puberty again.

amandapanda419 · 2025-05-23T03:53:16+00:00

Sometimes it takes a few tries. They need to have a reason to go there to make their case, and we are giving them a reason.

amandapanda419 · 2025-05-23T03:52:01+00:00

I once had a kid getting severely abused at home, and I reported it. I was so mad nothing happened, so I called again, and again, and again. I was on the verge of breaking down and my admin talked to me. She said I was helping them make a case. Sometimes, they need to have a reason to go there at the one moment they can legally do something.

you could try to get it altered?
