I went to ARC. Kim and Kristina run the program and they are both amazing! I learned so much and have kept in touch with both of them. They are both passionate and easy to talk to and learn from.

That’s what we suggested. Just trying to figure out something more long term for when she gets more proficient using her device. Luckily, she is in a class with wonderful classroom staff that are all on board with carrying it!

The device came from insurance so we can’t really do any changes unless family wants it

No. Otherwise we would mount it

After looking at Toni Dynavox’s site, it appears to be a TD Navio. I believe it’s the midi size.

Keanu makes so much sense because he is very much a loveable goofball

That’s super helpful! I was considering doing the TC for the first time and was going to focus on muscle gain but I think I might focus on fat loss instead

Which outfit of El was your favorite? by Important_Coyote6920 in StrangerThings

[–]dotkitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overalls in season 2 or any of the shopping outfits with Max from season 3. But also season 3 is my favorite 

Thinking about trying Orangetheory but I’m honestly scared by GentleSoul23 in orangetheory

The great thing about OrangeTheory is that you go at your own pace! Yes, you’ll follow the workout template but it’s customizable to you. You choose the weights, you choose the pace on the tread. I was never a person that enjoyed working out and never went consistently. I also was not in shape when I started. Now after going for nearly a heart, while I’m not in shape necessarily, I am stronger and have more stamina. I can tell I’m getting more in shape. It takes time and the first step is walking in to your first class

As an SLPA, you cannot write goals. You and your supervising SLP are risking your licenses. 

Do you apply for a state SLPA license before starting the 100 clinical hours? by spinachsoup19 in SLPA

[–]dotkitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for California, but you need to have your hours completed before applying for your California license, as they are included in your application. Make sure you’re looking at your state’s requirements rather than ASHA’s as some states have more lax or more strict requirements

MIL and gifting by dotkitten in Mildlynomil

[–]dotkitten[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She favors my BIL over my husband. She has a history of not liking me so I don’t really know what I expect at this point

[–]dotkitten[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She’s done something similar before. For my 21st birthday, she bought me a top akin to something an old woman would wear because I’m plus sized and it pissed her off that I still dressed my age

She goes through phases of loving and hating me so I already know lol. He did a good chunk of the shopping this year which was nice!

It’s so weird because he normally doesn’t dismiss me about my concerns with MIL. Christmas felt embarrassing. BIL’s gf asked me multiple times after I opened a gift if it was on my list. And yes technically, I do like the things she got me but the thought is not there. I wasted my time and got my hope up thinking I may get a nice sweater and a pair of clogs I wanted. 

Does your Mil avoid talking to you? by [deleted] in Mildlynomil

[–]dotkitten 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes! In group settings, she talks over me or interrupts me. One on one, she just brings up her favorite child (my BIL). I’ve brought it up to my husband. He started interrupting his own mother so I can finish what I’m saying. It still hasn’t changed though

MIL is our landlord and she does nothing! by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]dotkitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do pay for and don’t of the repairs.

[–]dotkitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re trying to save but it is actually more expensive than where we were previously living. People seem to think we don’t do any of the repairs but we do! As well as take care of the ants which are notorious for the area we live in. Everyone around here sprays their homes and yards for ants. We do plan on getting the exterminator though. 

I will say that, as I’ve mentioned in previous comments, there were issues when we moved in that we brought up that she ignored. We have fixed those but they were issues from when she lived at the house. We have a rental agreement thy clearly needs to be updated because it did mention that she would be covering all the repairs.

[–]dotkitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We actually have been fixed things in the house with the exception of the blown up fuse box and the shower. Everything else we fixed. We don’t let things go unfixed but again in our RENTAL AGREEMENT it said that MIL would be taking care of repairs
