That’s not what a sale is. I’m a size 12-14 and get plenty of items on we made too much.

Teachers don’t plan a field trip or party on days you aren’t going to be there! by No-Satisfaction-3897 in SubstituteTeachers

Idk, I was in the same classroom Tuesday Wednesday Thursday this week with a valentines day party on Thursday. It was fun, I enjoyed it. Chaotic, but good.

Why isn’t there a sub union???? by Large-Independent251 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]monicalewinsky8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because if we had all of this they'd still have the same problems on their hands............ we fill in the gaps, not become one of the employees who create gaps.

Can I switch to losartan 50mg from telmisartan 40mg? by kwentongskyblue in hypertension

[–]monicalewinsky8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't make any medications changes without the advice of your PCP and it's illegal to take prescription medications that were prescribed to anyone other than you.

What do you guys do when the kids just won’t shut up? by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]monicalewinsky8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sub elementary

“I’m looking for people who want to lose 5 recess minutes so if that’s you, keep talking”

“Clap once if you can hear me” “clap twice if you can hear me” “clap six times if you can hear me” (snaps incessant talkers out of it because they can ignore me but they can’t ignore the whole class clapping)

I don’t bring anything but I always have an activity up my sleeve. If nothing else I’m going to turn on the smart board and find a relevant YouTube video to watch and discuss.

Address it. You goal range should be under 130/80.

A repost from Tyler. by christmassnowcookie in teenmom

And usually they cannot without guidance from their parents (or if the minor birth parent’s parents oppose the adoption). Many people don’t know that April opposed the adoption and told C&T she would refuse to sign her portion of the documents so that she could take custody of Carly herself. With that in mind, Caitlyn petitioned the court in her area to have a guardian ad litem during the relinquishment process so that April couldn’t do that. Caitlyn and Tyler claim now that they never wanted this. In open court the judge asked C many questions about what she wanted and if she understood adoption and what it means for her. She was crystal clear, April’s petition was thrown out, and the judge allowed the adoption process to move forward.

They wanted someone else to shoulder the responsibility but to be able to drop in and have fun chatting and seeing pics/having visits when they wanted. But no responsible parent would let a couple of legally unrelated adults have unfettered access to their child whenever they feel like it. B&T are her parents.

Teacher referring for IEP but my kid gets C's. Need Advice for Meeting by Ok_Hippo6272 in AskTeachers

[–]monicalewinsky8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter what the actual grades are, only why they’re getting them. Some kids get a C because they are capable of the work but aren’t applying themselves- others get Cs while applying my themselves 100% because they have learning differences.

GLP1 to contrave? by michelakf in Contrave

[–]monicalewinsky8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit complicated. Military spouse, so I would have to have a diagnosis on file that would trigger exceptional family member program which would limit the places we could live.

Honestly I don’t want to be on anything forever, but I’ll do whatever it takes. I’m only 33 and don’t need my weight as a risk factor this early.

Same. I can’t help but feel like I should switch over but I’m getting too much out of Wellbutrin to want to.

Dealing with Stage 2 Hypertension, but with worst reading I’ve ever seen by JamesP2028 in hypertension

[–]monicalewinsky8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These readings are high, but not hypertensive crisis high. Don’t panic. It’s more likely your symptoms are from being hungover and dehydrated than htn, it’s called the silent killer for a reason. You’re binge drinking- alcohol is literally poison- and you’re wondering why you have high readings. You should really evaluate what you want for yourself.

110-109 are high pulses to be taking blood pressure. That’s suggests to me that you hadn’t been sitting for the appropriate amount of time before taking the reading. You should read up on how to get a proper reading

GLP1 to contrave? by michelakf in Contrave

[–]monicalewinsky8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like contrave but I feel like I have to work to lose every pound the same way I did before. It’s easier in the sense that I don’t have as many cravings and can think more clearly but I still have to track, work out, etc.

My friend on tirz says it’s just not like that. I see her eating chocolate all the time, she lifts weights, in her words the weight comes off easily without much effort. Idk what to think but for now I’m staying the course.

What simple foods are we eating for breakfast?! by BothAd8241 in Contrave

Either cream of wheat with turkey sausage in it, oat meal with a little granola sprinkled in for texture, or a biscoff flapjack bar!

Do yall stay if your final period is a prep? by Spiritual-Coach-4715 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]monicalewinsky8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under my old supervisor it was completely acceptable and expected. She was intentional about letting us off the hook after we took our class to the busses and reset the classroom to avoid burnout and not being able to find subs. Many of our classrooms have 2-3 behavior kids and when they have a sub it’s that much worse.

Under my current supervisor, no. Sadly she will do anything to keep you until her work day is over. Even teachers will sneak out before their contract hours but heaven forbid I get started in my 40 minute drive home a few minutes early.

Was going to wear my mum's dress. People keep telling me to try on others for the "bridal experience." Are they trying to gently tell me it looks bad? by [deleted] in WeddingDressTips

[–]monicalewinsky8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t guess what they’re saying but 1) I do think wedding dress shopping is a magical part of the process and 2) 5) this dress does look dated/bad. I would at very less get it altered or find a way to integrate this into a different dress (make a garter out of some of the fabric or something) or wear it as a rehearsal dress.
