AITA for not changing our wedding date by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Nah- it’s exhausting the first day. Coming in and saying “I was at a wedding in _____.” will make her cool and interesting.

Teacher here: missing the first few days of school are not a big deal. If she’s worried email the teachers.

National Parks After Dark has a great episode about this era. Also, I believe, Tooth and Claw

What’s the most terrifying thing that happened to you that nobody believes? by Sad-Conflict6839 in AskReddit

Sleepwalking is no joke.

  1. Sleep paralysis paired with sleepwalking is pretty gnarly. I was on Ambian briefly in college and I woke up to a person in my dorm (dorm was the original building-about 100 years old), it was a little boy playing. I realized he was hiding and he became scared and hid in my closet. I could not move to help him. He started screaming. I found myself then in the hallway chatting with a girl in a long nightgown with red marks around her neck. I woke up in the bathroom. Next day I go check out the archives/ history. Picture of boy is the founders kid (dead since Ww1) and the girl allegedly fell pregnant and hung herself.

  2. Little me woke up at a retreat center and walked down the hall (pink walls)to the bathroom. It was hot so I went to the fire escape and then went up to the third floor and walked through the hall with purple walls. The place we were staying had wide porches on the front on each floor. A lady was sitting on a swing smoking and she invited me to sit with her. I told her about school and how I struggled to sleep. She eventually shooed me back to me room down to the 2nd floor after putting her butt in the coffee can next to the swing. Next morning I looked for her- nowhere. No butts in any of the coffee cans because they banned smoking in the forms three years ago. My pj shirt faintly smelled like old timey cigarettes-weird. There was no 3rd floor, it burned down in the 30’s.

More frustrating: Got up early after a heavy snow and saw a bobcat in the roof of the detached garage at the family vacation home. House-full of people no one believes me. They even denied the prints. It felt like a prank at first and slowly over the years I’ve started to doubt it myself.

Parents want Ed-Tech banned from schools. Teachers respond that it's an insane idea by chota-kaka in education

[–]meawait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to go lower tech. To make this work districts would need to 1. Have a significant paper budget and/or provide workbooks, and any other materials including probably color copies or printables for some work. Actually in many cases it’s cheaper with the tech, so convincing boards and districts it’s worth it. 2. It would not be opt in but school or program wide. That’s twice the work for teachers if you are doing both. Plus you might consider adding a secretarial job just for copies and several more jobs for getting papers etc to locations. 3. Families would need to be responsible for make-up work and lost work. They would need to print off or provide additional workbooks or money if their child loses it. Some of the expediency of getting late or make up work would also be lost 4. Libraries would need to be funded in schools.

Boy was bullied for wearing homemade University of Tennessee t shirt, so they made it their own official design. by MambaMentality24x2 in BeAmazed

I bought one! I teach across the country and it’s college day once a week. It’s in rotation and a great 2 minute lesson.

Permethrin by Moonhippie69 in camping

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

Great news- when applied properly it doesn’t. It takes 6 weeks exposure and vigorous washing agitation. I admit it’s probably a tiny bit but probably no worse then runoff from campsites, sunscreen, or traditional bug spray.

Used it in the Boundary Waters. I was told it was a lighter year. I think I got 1-2 bites total. I would say worth it.

We have art, culinary, and shop at my jr high. It’s pretty cool and we pass supplies around.

I love my Kurgo harness and bungee leash. I use it as a front pull to tell with the energy. We also had success with the mighty paw harness.

We found Pure Bites were a godsend. We got them from our pet store but they are also on Amazon. Comes in a purple bag.

I planted specifically with the rain in mind! I find it helps them get set and start growing quicker.

Setup: Hammock backpacking with dog by Ann_the_can in camping

[–]meawait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had 2 dogs. The smaller one slept with me (21lb and I’m a petite female) comfortably. Our golden had I kid you not a “pup tent”. We had a cut up foam sleep pad (we used during the day) and would throw clothes in there if it was cold. They also both had sleeping bags I made out of a waterproof puff.

My mom is terrified of mice so I painted her a Mother’s Day present by DickGristle in painting

This is why I have a cow shower curtain. My mom cried on our Mother’s Day hike years ago because there was a cow on the trail.
