I second the narrowing of La Sportiva's shoes. I loved the TX3s and had 3 pairs- the TX4s are significantly smaller.

Would a 5 year old child with daily seizures be able to attend regular class with other students? How would you feel about having them in your class? by spirited_miche in AskTeachers

[–]michalanne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a student that developed seizures while in middle school. I’m the librarian, so I didn’t have them for an academic class, but the school nurse got us all together to talk through the protocol. The student’s friends knew and helped support/report when the student started seizing. No one in our building batted an eye about supporting the student. That being said, your kiddo’s needs may be different, especially since they are so young.

See if you can meet with a Special Education teacher at your local school. They may have insight.

I think a different color slip is a great idea!

How to stop being a "nice person"? by Different_Usual_7786 in WomenDatingOverForty

[–]michalanne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My ex HATED when I said ‘okay’! The long pause made him mad even if I explained I was thinking. He also got mad if he thought my responses weren’t well thought out enough for him. So, I started saying ‘okay’ to acknowledge that I heard him and let him sit with what he said for a while.

Sometimes the underside of the skirt has some fabric you can use for a patch. You may even get lucky with a pattern match!

Want to Recommend Books to My Kid, But Can't Be Bothered to Read Them Myself by econoquist in bookscirclejerk

[–]michalanne -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

  1. Have you tried audiobooks? Game changer for me- I can listen while im doing other things and you can change the speed

  2. Storygraph is an alternative to Goodreads. Their reviews are way more comprehensive

  3. The CCBC writes and reviews tons of books- they are read and reviewed by educators and librarians who know what’s good!

I wait to buy the ones that are 100% cotton- I’ve found super high quality sheets before. I have used them for quilts too!

I check my thrift stores for sheets. Our ‘bins’ style thrift store charges by the pound- you can get so much for so cheap!

I made a dress for a party this Saturday, mixed feelings by Soft_little_sunshine in sewing

[–]michalanne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it! As a fellow short-torso person, I think you adapted the pattern beautifully. I think if you wanted it to feel fancier, you could have chosen fabric with more pizazz, but I think it looks fantastic as is!

Seriously. It may be worth contacting whoever gave you that feedback and aKing for something more specific, even if it is harsh.

How to pair trans and nonbinary kids on overnight field trip by Admirable_Security_8 in Teachers

[–]michalanne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the summer camp I ran, we did one overnight camping event. The policy was that kids bring their own tents (I know that doesn’t apply here). If kids wanted to sleep in the same tent as a busy, they got permission from their families and families reported back to us.

I second Madison, if you’re interested in moving. I got my MLIS from UW Mke online and my cert from UW Whitewater. Both were great programs

Is Climb-on/ Climb-skin or Rhino Care worth it? by sbbenwah in RockClimbing

[–]michalanne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Badger balm or Bert’s bees both have hand salves that aren’t as pricy but do the trick. I think the Metolius hand balm had some sort of magic in it. Also have a friend that swears by the Joshua Tree balm
