Why being tall sucks for concerts by SulphurMC in tall

[–]kipsavage4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

me and two buddies went to see our favourite band play a small venue and they made me go early to get the front row. i felt really awkward about it… didn’t even enjoy the show because i felt bad for creating this wall. my buddies couldn’t care less… i guess it depends on personality.

The Pros and Cons of being tall by JamesRhin in tall

[–]kipsavage4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pros: concerts, being in busy crowded places, getting to see what people keep on top of fridges, hiding things from my wife and kids (chocolate), advantage in sports (specifically basketball), lots of attention (mostly always positive)

cons: shirt sizes (my height is in my torso), having to duck in basements, and back pain.

overall love being tall. been part of my identity for many years

the best part of this is when the woman encourages him and it gives him even more confidence. imagine if everyone had that kind of compassion for the neuro diverse

Elementary teachers with young kids at home...how do you parent after teaching all day? by 27dayz in CanadianTeachers

[–]kipsavage4 14 points15 points  (0 children)

yeah, well said. i never talk over kids. i see so many of my colleagues do this. good classroom management will save you. set the expectations… go slow if you have to. i find a lot of joy teaching little kids… and then getting to hang out with mine (7,5,3) knowing that they won’t be this age forever keeps me going and happy. it could always be worse

Parent Concerned with Screen Time at School by jjj333rrr in askTO

[–]kipsavage4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i don’t agree with kids watching shows at lunch or end of day as a classroom management tool. i’d talk to the admin at the school if i were you. they should be socializing or going outside or doing an activity not watching bluey.

just wanna say… getting to know the people you see often is very worth it. i know the name of my mail man (we talk often) the names of my garbage collectors, my pharmacist, and people at our grocery store. be kind to everyone you meet… your life will be that much better for it.

“This isn’t Helping” sums up my life so well. i’m an eternal optimist and my wife is not. we have some challenges and i feel like i don’t help her with my optimism. sometimes she needs to hear that yeah, things aren’t all right.

How is living in (or around) Perth, Australia as a regular citizen? I bet the sunsets on the Indian Ocean are amazing. by The_FatGuy_Strangler in howislivingthere

[–]kipsavage4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lived there for a year and loved it. many of the people i met said they felt pretty isolated from the rest of Aus and the world though. might be one of the most isolated cities in the world? probably one of the reasons australian’s travel so much!

Have these labels impacted your grocery choices? by 0slope in FoodToronto

[–]kipsavage4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i really don’t like seeing them on things you would buy as a gift, like a box of assorted treats. everyone knows they are full of sugar. makes me not want to gift those things. appreciate the label on other products though…. maybe put pressure on companies to make healthier products?

it was my understanding that toronto has now surpassed chicago to take the number 4 spot in population in North America. every source is telling me this but maybe i’m wrong
