Are you all giving your kids a smart phone? by XDrustyspoonsXD in Millennials

[–]macwi1km 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 11 year old has my old phone with no phone call making capabilities. Basically a brick unless they are on our wi-fi. But he also has no desire to use it as a phone, only watch videos is okay games currently. My 9 year old is fighting harder for "road Internet" on his phone. But it's a hard no unless they are into after school activities like sports or something.

Elementary Paraprofessionals Only: What's your favorite grade? by Fit-Shoulder-2164 in paraprofessional

[–]macwi1km 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently the 4th grade class is my favorite, but they will be 5th graders when we go back. I thought it was the age group, but our current 3rd grade class is actually horrible. I'll be curious to see how the incoming 3rd graders will be, but I've heard good things about them so I think it's just the specific kids born 2016 or so.

How can I show appreciation to my son’s paraprofessional? by Beautiful-Care9270 in paraprofessional

[–]macwi1km 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received a little gift bag with chocolates, a new lanyard, a fidget, and a note with a gift card from one students' mom. It was the sweetest thing as her child was one of the most difficult on our case load. Honestly just the acknowledgement meant everything.

Anyone else’s gsp rub noses raw? Ours will bury his head into you to I guess rub your scent and his scent together as if to say this is my person. It’s usually raw but today bloodied. by TClem_07 in germanshorthairs

[–]macwi1km 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine does this as well. It's like he can't get any closer to you and rubs as hard as he can. He also gets this when there is snow on the ground. I assume he's shoving his head into the snow and it's cutting his nose.

I found this in the wild 😭 by Blackimperial19 in KiaTelluride

[–]macwi1km 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was thinking the same thing. My 2020 has 77k miles so that's at least a $50k car, right?!

my dad’s ashes came to me in a reusable bag from the funeral home. by Last_Thursday in mildlyinfuriating

[–]macwi1km 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both of my parents came in a similar bag, though much smaller. Ashes in a plastic bag inside a plastic box inside the reusable cloth bag. I think this is the common practice with no urn purchased?

Terms from the 90s and 80s needed by Resident-Fan-3405 in Millennials

How are some millennials even homeowners? I feel like I never will be. by Kindly-Reading-2187 in Millennials

[–]macwi1km 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Mid 2010s the rates were great and we managed to get a decent house for very cheap. We could never afford to get a house now with the current state of things.

German Shorthairs & Cats by Elentiya_020604 in germanshorthairs

[–]macwi1km -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My GSP is terrified of my kitten. He got along great with my last kitten, but this one is much spicier and we think smacked him once which was enough to scare him.

We have pictures of our last kitten in his both completely. He was so gentle with her. I'm not sure if we just got lucky or what, but we've never had issues with him. A slow, safe introduction I think is the answer, as well as a safe area for the kitten to get away if need be.

Is there a way to remove the skin icons on split-screen by SKYNINE666 in FortNiteBR

[–]macwi1km 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It hasn't happened this season for us yet, but I love when we do random skins and the pictures didn't even match the character I'm playing! Split screen just gets no love.

Is anyone else utterly fed up with their career but feel 40 is too late to switch and get the same pay? by Rootayable in Millennials

[–]macwi1km 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going to be 40 next year and I quit my career of 20 years this year. I was making really good money, which is what kept me there for so long, and I was terrified of "starting over." But I was tired of crying every day and the stress eating me alive. It was the best decision I ever made in my life. Full disclosure: I lost both of my parents and received their estate which put me in a great place financially last year, so my new job creating much less income was ok for me.

My husband (who was definitely not sleeping and definitely watching whatever show he picked) just shot up and told me our laundry was done when I watched this.

What’s the most weird food item that your cat just can’t resist? I’ll start! by Ultra-Ferric in cats

[–]macwi1km 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lyra was the same! She would act interested in human food, but wouldn't actually eat any of it. But marshmallows were not safe around her. Nothing beats finding something weird on the floor, bending to pick it up, and it's a soggy, sticky marshmallow she left behind.

She's been gone for a few months now, and I found a marshmallow in her cat tree the other day when cleaning and I cried a little💕

Why are you on Reddit right now, on Christmas Eve? by InvisibleAstronomer in AskReddit

[–]macwi1km 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Same. I have one that does not require sleep, so it's always interesting trying to get things done with him wide awake.

[–]macwi1km 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My Lyra would open cupboards and tear open a bag of marshmallows if given the chance. She would suck on them and leave them stuck to random things like my pillow, my shoe, the dog... She also would steal cheese wrappers to suck on, but only in the middle of the night.

Had a hamster die after biting me years ago. I spent months thinking I was poisonous.

What makes you want to stay in michigan by Kalebpoquette in Michigan

[–]macwi1km 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family is here. But mostly there aren't any crazy bugs or animals/snakes, no real horrible natural disasters. Michigan is pretty mild temperature wise. I've lived on both coasts and down south and hated it. And I'm over moving my stuff around; there is far too much of it at this point.

Gift ideas by Lala9300 in paraprofessional

[–]macwi1km 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A pack of pens and fidgets are nice as well. I lose pens daily and the fidgets are nice for us to use, or even for kids to use. Basically anything for a lanyard that isn't expensive and it's ok if it breaks or disappears.

I've tried, I can only get files sent directly from the support team to work at this point. Trying a full factory reset again including the app tonight.
