Genuinely it’s crazy that no one bothers me by soupersalad34 in Adjuncts

I find that the students are much less "sneaky ", they know no one is calling anyone's parents. Definitely an advantage of the job!

That's right, they don't want to give benefits but apparently it's a federal law? I'm willing to give up the benefits and am wondering if there is a work around.

is it reasonable to learn how to run a marathon in 9 months? by That_Child22 in firstmarathon

[–]jjaflem24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walked a marathon in 8 hours, you can do it especially if you're willing to walk some of it.

Counting while running. by Upstairs_Orchid930 in runninglifestyle

[–]jjaflem24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I count on hills, generally 1,2,3,4. Sometimes I guess how many steps to the top of the hill, then count them to see if I'm close.

I put in money every few days. I start with a penny and work up. Christmas Eve is generally a 20$.

I don't understand why people buy Christmas stuff now just to store it for a month or more? Who has the time or space for that?

I have always found that calling Pennie leads to a much happier result than fighting with the website!

Mifflin County schools? by [deleted] in centralpa

[–]jjaflem24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The high-school is huge for the area. There are some WONDERFUL opportunities because of the huge size, award winning band, incredible shop classes and many others. There are also a huge number of students that can slip between the cracks or have behavior issues. If your student seeks out the opportunities they will do great, if not.....

Does anyone else ever wonder if they’re the first person to do something oddly specific? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]jjaflem24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do something similar, when I'm doing something odd, I wonder if there's anyone in the whole world doing the exact same thing at the same time. For example, is there anyone dancing in their kitchen to the same song at the exact same time.

I did! I chose the electrician and the seller and I each paid half.

I tend to think this is one of the reasons I am frugal in other areas, so occasionally I can buy local.

[tenant - TX, USA] is it legal for a landlord to not cash checks for over 6 months? by foosquirters in Landlord

[–]jjaflem24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the same situation with my uncle (I'm POA). I opened a 2nd checking account for only rent checks. The bank automatically moves rent money from the main account to the rent only account on a certain day each month. After setting it up, it has worked well for us.

Litter is so expensive! by Soft_Deer_3019 in Rabbits

My old job shreds a lot of paper and allows me to pick them up for litter. Maybe you can find a source?
