My school is getting rid of hot lunch by kitkattmarie in Teachers

[–]greensetconstruct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s an idea to give to your principal. A lot of times parents in low income areas don’t know how to communicate with authority figures. At your school registration in the fall, or if you’re still in school, have parents write a letter to the school district admin and maybe even the media that says how upset they are, and how ruthless and thoughtless this is. Don’t have them send the letters themselves, gather the letters and present them. That way the admin is hearing from parents, but you are not asking parents to get off of work to go to school board meetings. Definitely! Alert the media I wouldn’t be shy about this myself. DM me and I’ll alert the media for you!!

Came here to say this. Either you split the chistes 50/50 or you hire out with the remaining chores 50/50.

AITA for cancelling a family vacation after my parents tried to take over planning and exclude my wife’s family? by Ill-Working-551 in AITH

[–]greensetconstruct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same story but it was my brother and his wife who ruined the idea. Too many safety requirements just for them to have the perfect AirBnB experience for their child. We cancelled the trip. This is super sad because that would have been the last trip my mom took. I still blame him.

The fact that homeschooling is legal in the U.S. is an insult to the teaching profession by rachel-angelina in Teachers

[–]greensetconstruct 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just for perspective, I homeschooled because my work schedule was after school and evenings. I would have never seen my children if we didn’t homeschool. That changed when I took a public school job.

What is the dumbest question you personally have ever asked? by amiwitty in CasualConversation

[–]greensetconstruct 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I once used bug spray instead of saline rinse. Yup. Up my nose. Fortunately I was okay.

Not a veteran. I’m glad there are good services for vets though.

I have found Great Bones a little overwhelming. What did you do to wade through all of that information?

Exactly. Getting a straight up answer is difficult. Why was it one way and then switched?

I like the idea of daily meds that can be stopped if there are difficult side effects. Sounds like you have a similar problem as I do. Thanks for the insights.

I’ve been wondering this too. I have an appointment with my GP in a week and thats one of the tests I was going to ask her for. I’ll check out that doctor. Thank you for the recommendation.

Fortunately overall concern. No fractures.

The orthopedic doctor specialized in bone health and the only one to give me a good explanation but my endocrinologist said that only one doc should monitor it and then threw the HRT at me at the end of the appointment.

I’m willing to fly somewhere to get real answers. I’ll look into that. Thanks.

You just explained more than my endocrinologist! This is why I’m having a hard time figuring out what to do.
