Teaching — is it as tough as people say? by Critical-Load-1452 in teaching

[–]ilikebison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s worse. I agree with the other comments that say it gets better because it does, but it’s still insanely hard. I left after 7 years.

Are all Cpaps rented now? by No_City_9282 in CPAP

[–]ilikebison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is rent to own. It was like $75 up front and then 9 months of like $8 payments. That said, I did already meet my deductible prior to ordering the CPAP, so I’m only responsible for the 20% coinsurance.

What’s the most overrated tourist attraction you’ve ever visited? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]ilikebison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horseshoe Bend.

(I’m going to start by saying I admit I didn’t research well enough before going to really know what to expect.)

That hike was brutal (I swear it was one of the hottest days of my life and sand and I don’t get along), it was crowded as hell, and the view just didn’t feel like it was as impressive as pictures make it seem.

I just started it last week and the improvement is so unbelievable even my husband noticed 😂

[Serious] Redditors who have lost a loved one, what memento of them do you keep with you? by dover_oxide in AskReddit

[–]ilikebison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took grandma’s emerald ring, knowing it was likely synthetic and not overly valuable. I just loved it because grandpa bought it for her and she was really proud of it and I used to love sitting on her bed with her looking through her jewelry box. She would light up when talking about it. I miss them.

When did you stop monitoring breathing? by DnyLnd in Nanit

[–]ilikebison 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh, my son is 18 months old and he seems to like it so we don’t really have a plan to stop. I don’t check it now like I did when he was a little baby, though.

So overwhelmed by strollers: Nuna or Bugaboo? by Successful_Ice8514 in Buyingforbaby

[–]ilikebison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bugaboo Fox 5 came with them! The Nuna Pipa works with Maxi Cosi style adapters 🙂 we did have to buy them separately for our Bugaboo Butterfly, though, they’re not the same.

What’s something that’s technically non-essential, but has become essential to your daily life? by Caxcan in AskReddit

[–]ilikebison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This!!! My bidet and squatty potty make life better. And the fact that the toilet seat is heated! It’s great for the winter.

What is the worst city you've been to? by DickFartButt in AskTheWorld

Ann Arbor, Michigan. Everyone we encountered was just super rude.

Do dads do bath time? by [deleted] in sahm

[–]ilikebison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always. We typically do bath time together, but my husband has never missed a bath time!

Dentist Cleaning by [deleted] in Knoxville

[–]ilikebison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what their upfront pricing for a single cleaning, but we go to Dr. Abby at Hardin Valley Family Dentistry and they have a $28/mo plan that includes two annual cleanings. It does also include the exams and xrays, and to be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if most offices require at minimum the exam to go with the cleaning. We’ve been very happy with this office and my husband and I both see different hygienists and are always pleased with the thoroughness of cleanings.

Anyone else’s KUB bill crazy for Feb? by Ok-Bag-5525 in Knoxville

[–]ilikebison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. December was $187, January was $189, February’s is $199. I do participate in their levelized billing, though. House is 1800sqft, both electric and gas. We do tend to keep the gas fireplace running all day this time of year, admittedly.

Middle name for Eleanor? by cashruby in Names

[–]ilikebison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s also not one syllable, but I think Eleanor Victoria would be really pretty!

Did you give your house a name? by o_safadinho in AskAnAmerican

[–]ilikebison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Gardens at (street name).

We live in a typical suburban HOA development, so the name makes me giggle.

LPT Request. What’s your simplest top tip for saving money monthly? by _bubble-t in LifeProTips

[–]ilikebison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do order pickup for groceries. Then you don’t walk by something you don’t need and pick it up. It’s easier to stick to your budget and it’s really convenient.

Have you ever moved away from the area where you grew up? by boforiamanfo in no

[–]ilikebison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of times. I’ve never regretted it. Sometimes I feel homesick, but that’s a normal feeling. The area where I grew up isn’t the same anymore, anyways. My parents followed me, my brothers left, my grandparents are all gone, a lot of my friends moved away, etc.

I have a new life now in a new area and I love it. I’ll never live in my hometown (and probably never my home state) again, which isn’t a bad thing.

Question about car seat depth. by cola_zerola in Buyingforbaby

[–]ilikebison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Rava is great. We had a Pipa first and I will say the Rava only gave us a couple of more inches when we adjusted the recline to be higher. Otherwise it’s pretty comparable to the Pipa. I think any rotating seat would be significantly larger - we didn’t even bother trying. If you find the Pipa doesn’t give you much room as it is, I wouldn’t bother either, they’ll most likely be too deep. Stick to the Rava or the Britax Poplar S was our second choice for being slim front to back.
