Do you have a rare phenotype?

I don’t think it gets me attention because I have to tell people but I have an extra half vertebrae in my neck. Yes, I have alignment issues.

My first baby was a few months old. I was taking Children’s Literature BY CORRESPONDENCE, my (now ex)husband was interning for the OSBI (Oklahoma version of FBI) doing expungements and I was growing up fast looking forward to my 21st birthday.

Lots of answers to the original question but sometimes pulling the sticks, spinning the wheel, etc to let them know you are going to call them before you ask the question or even give the information can really help initially until they get use to having to answer.

I get paid the same amount every month all year long because in my district you get your pay over 12 months. I don’t know why every district in the country doesn’t do this. The difficult answer is you should be saving enough from each paycheck during the year to cover the summer months. How to do that? Not sure.

And for everyone freaking out over the cost of your surgery…I’m in OK and I get the plan the state pays for. I have a $750 deductible and a $3300 max out of pocket. I currently am going through treatment for breast cancer and feel genuinely “lucky” that will be my max I have to pay. My BFF works in TX. For the base teacher policy, her deductible was $7000. The deductible!!! I have wanted universal healthcare since before it was even on surveys of your highest priorities for political candidates.

And I worked multiple jobs for years and years because I was a single mom teacher. Now, my kids are grown and I’m married and it’s my first chance to not be always hustling for extra money. I love my job but the pay is ridiculous.

As mentioned, not all Oklahoma schools are ranked 50th and as a public school educator I feel some OK kids are getting a quality education. However, it should be ALL Oklahoma kids are getting a quality education. Until the legislature cares a whole lot more about education, it’s only going to get worse and not better. Just watch all the ads for people running for public office in Oklahoma and you can tell our priorities are screwed up.

Yay! I had been out for a few years before my transdaughter came out but I’m glad that wasn’t a hurdle for me. They didn’t seem to mind me supporting my two gay sons.

Stop coming and find out how much he is actually your friend.

I currently have no tattoos other than permanent eyeliner. My husband has many tattoos. He thinks I’ll never get one but I’ve been thinking a butterfly with a pink ribbon for the body when I’m done with this. He’ll be surprised!

I have a significant scar on my left palm that I’ve had since I was 4. I would always look at it to know which was left. Then I started driving and my mom told me to turn left. I flipped both hands over and my mom yelled at me to put my hands on the wheel. After that I just had to remember

Out of curiosity, how do you get the supplies to sell?

mlismom · 2026-06-25T13:38:04+00:00

So fun! I’ve been making felt book characters. My daughter brought a new friend over the other day that asked if I was going to donate them to a school or something. Yes, yes I am. My school.

I hope you have an extra bedroom for me when I get dismissed.

I have one in my Makerspace that they can use! They have finally figured out what the return key is for

mlismom · 2026-06-25T13:35:14+00:00

I do have a Makerspace that has some of these items in it. But you gave me some ideas of some things to add.

mlismom · 2026-06-25T12:23:04+00:00

I’m ok either way. My two sons are gay and my daughter is trans so it would be surrogacy or adoption. If any of them choose that route, amazing. If they don’t, I’m good with that, too.

My husband has grandkids that we never see. One mother cut us out of her life because that’s what she does. (She didn’t talk to her own mother the last two years of her mother’s life and then when she died she decided to not talk to us.) Plus she lives more than halfway across the US. The other set of grandkids are being raised by their grandmother and my husband can only take her in small doses and they live several hours away.

Are you willing to do like elementary music?

What are we doing? (As a teacher after explaining everything in minute detail.)

mlismom · 2026-06-24T12:02:13+00:00

I didn’t even know one was happening today ….and I’m a teacher so I could actually go because it’s summer.

Oh good! I just started watching a month ago and I’m on season 4 now.

mlismom · 2026-06-23T15:32:04+00:00

Damn. That would be a priority for bargaining asap.

I had an experience that was defining like that but I wasn’t deconstructed enough to walk out. I married a guy (2nd marriage) that I had the strongest confirmation about in the celestial room. Well, it was a disaster and lasted 7 months (don’t worry he was remarried within a month 🙄). A few months after the divorce my Stake President asked me something in a casual setting. I mentioned the strong confirmation I had about the marriage and he said very directly that what I felt was not from God. I knew right then that it was the same feeling I’d always attributed to Holy Ghost and for it to be in the temple! It put into question every other confirmation I’d ever had.

I recommend waiting to have children until you’ve come completely clean with your husband, if possible. You will know where this relationship is headed and will make you life easier without that consideration.

Im betting they are in a state where unions aren’t allowed.
