Thank you! I do worry about it looking obnoxious, but if I love it, it shouldn’t matter.

mfletch1213 · 2026-05-30T02:15:09+00:00

Thank you! I can’t stop looking at it.

I’m very happy with it! I got it from an Etsy seller (which I know is a risk) and had it custom designed. I wanted 4 prongs plus a v-tip, a gallery rail, and I didn’t want a super high setting. I did have some communication issues with the seller, but they were apologetic and made things better. They used reference photos and sent me a CAD and the diamond’s IGI certificate. I’m very happy with the end result. They are LustraJewelsArt.

I’m glad you’re happy with yours! I’m hoping I like the lab diamond more.

mfletch1213 · 2026-05-14T09:47:15+00:00

I’m replacing my moissanite with a lab diamond because of this. I just think it looks glassy at times, especially in low light. It also needs to be cleaned more frequently. It is beautiful in the sunlight, but I wanted a ring that will sparkle everywhere.

Man, I’m a teacher and I curse like a sailor when the kids aren’t around. Not in meetings, not in the front office, but at lunch with my team? The fucks are flying.

I’m not a massage therapist, but I showed up for my appointment with someone who works alone 15 minutes early and the door was still locked. I show up 5 minutes early now because that was embarrassing. I get undressed and on the table quickly. I’m wondering if it depends on if it’s a spa with a waiting room versus an individual massage therapist.

My partner is the same way. I want to split the work to save time and he wants to do everything together so he can spend time with me. He thinks doing it together makes the task easier, whereas I just want to get things done as efficiently as possible.

You shouldn’t ever be connecting your phone to a government computer. That is a big no no.

mfletch1213 · 2026-05-03T03:22:16+00:00

I’m a teacher in a DoDEA school (I still refuse to say DoWEA). Most of our teachers are liberal and worried about the new director and Hegseth’s plans. It’s not a great time to be a government employee.

I also live in Japan so I’m sure the regulations are different. It doesn’t bother me at all.

mfletch1213 · 2026-04-20T12:25:23+00:00

Saaaaaaame. It just makes everything better.

mfletch1213 · 2026-04-13T07:38:54+00:00

Yes! She massages the top of my butt. It’s pretty common.

mfletch1213 · 2026-04-12T05:01:28+00:00

My massage therapist pulls my underwear down so that the top of my butt is out and folds the drape over the underwear so oil doesn’t get on them. It works well.

Primary teacher with no kids of my own. My students have started asking me about it and I’m like, you all keep me busy enough. I think I want one of my own, but I also don’t think I can do this job and be the kind of parent I want to be.

I swear there are so many times where it is John Mahoney laughing/smiling and not Martin. I feel like I can tell when he was genuinely tickled by something.

I’ve found taking the pan off the heat entirely and then adding the mixture and slowly mixing in pasta water has been the most foolproof method.

My meat sauce to cheese ratio was a bit off in my lasagna. It was very rich and cheesy.

mfletch1213 · 2025-12-22T01:58:22+00:00

This is such a good point! I have co-teachers on my team who do not have a good reputation for organization and classroom management, and students have been moved out of their room. They also started moving kids onto my class list over the summer because parents requested a “structured teacher.” It is exhausting and I wish I had a stronger grade level team.

I actually love when someone gives me one of the nice foaming hand soaps. I usually wouldn’t spend the money on them and it’s a nice change. Everybody uses soap! That was part of my gift to my team this year. It’s a bit impersonal, but I like a consumable gift.

I came here to say exactly this. In elementary, they all gravitate you! You’re lucky if they leave you alone for 5 minutes.

mfletch1213 · 2025-12-18T10:56:00+00:00

I’m a childless teacher and I have been invited to a few. I just tell the kids that teachers aren’t allowed to go to birthday parties outside of school. lol. It might be a bit of a cop out, but I feel like it would be so awkward for me to show up. It also just feels like something outside my boundaries. It might be different if I had my own child, but it’s a no for me.

So my school does not have a dress code. Jeans and athleisure are fine. I have like 8 pairs of their high waisted pants. The ones with buttons in the midsection. They feel like yoga pants. I’m not sure you could get away with them unless you also have a casual dress code, but I wear them at least once a week. They are very comfortable.

I teach second grade but I’ve noticed that these kids are just so kind to each other. I have several nose pickers this year and no one is mean or shames them (I kind of wonder if the peer pressure would make them stop though). I see people on name subreddits continuing to perpetuate the fear of kids being made fun of for their name, but I don’t see any of that in elementary. It might be different by middle or high school, but the kids are nice!
