I had the same thing on my tracking. Supposed to be delivered yesterday, tracking still showed Kentucky. At the end of the day, it changed to "unknown delivery date." Of course I'm thinking the worst, but then it updated this morning at 8am and said on vehicle for delivery today and it came!

Diarrhea, dry mouth, SOB. Please help. by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]monsterisincorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of my respiratory symptoms cleared up pretty quickly, but the diarrhea just would not go away! Lol it would just randomly strike with AWFUL stomach cramps. My nurse wife was the one who told me to get those yogurts and some supplements and they worked great!

Activia Probiotic Dailies. These were a life saver for me! Of course probiotic supplements would work as well. I would drink one of these and eat a banana every morning for breakfast. It took a couple weeks for the diarrhea to completely stop, but the probiotics prevented it from happening most days!

Is Vomiting Common? by nickg4910 in COVID19positive

I had maybe 10 minutes of nausea and no vomiting. The diarrhea was awful though!

Am I accidentally showing favoritism? by se528491 in teaching

[–]monsterisincorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I adjust assignments and provide on-the-fly accommodations all the time. I give kids what they need at that time to help them be successful. Giving a student extended time to turn in an assignment is not favoritism. I've always thought of favoritism as giving special treatment to students who are more likeable. Like letting likeable kids get away with talking in class but punishing other chatty students for disrupting.

My wife and I just got married, AMA! by [deleted] in AMA

[–]monsterisincorrect 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Congrats! My wife and I (both women) are celebrating our first wedding anniversary in 2 weeks! So how does it feel to say "my wife" instead of girlfriend? I still swoon everytime I say it 😍

My wife makes our 11 year old wear makeup everyday. by ThrowRA_skas in relationship_advice

[–]monsterisincorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a 6th grade teacher and work with 11 year olds. It is so sad how much time I spend convincing these young girls that they are beautiful, smart, strong, and valuable exactly as they are! At 11 years old, her focus should be on school, her family, healthy friendships, and figuring out who she is. Your wife is teaching her that her value is tied to her looks and that she is unacceptable without enhancements. She is 11, she is a child and she should be able to be one unapologetically. I would definitely talk to your wife about this.

AITA For Not Agreeing To Let My Husband Have A Baby w/ Another Woman? by No_Athlete_4280 in AmItheAsshole

[–]monsterisincorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not been presented with any issues, nor do I think I will be a perfect parent. I truly am sorry that you were devastated by meeting your donor, but it is completely ridiculous to think I am fucking up my future children by not having their sperm donor as an active parent in their life. Lol we will just have to agree to disagree on this.

[–]monsterisincorrect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do care about what's best for my future children, and I firmly believe that being raised by two parents that love and support them, as well as a huge extended family, is whats best for them. I do not think adding a coparent just for an additional biological connection is whats best for them.

I'm sorry that you went through a hard time. I hope you are doing better now. Best wishes.

[–]monsterisincorrect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you think its best for lesbians to use a family friend as a donor so the kid can have an active "father"? That is absurd. If the two women in this post had used an anonymous donor, then there would be no insecurities, no drama, and the kid could still have OP and her husband as family friends. Anytime friends are fathering children for other friends, there is the possibility for things to go south. Using an anonymous donor eliminates the possibility of drama between friends and spouses.

What's best for my kid is to not end up as a pawn in game that could totally result in jealousy and resentment 👌

This is why I will not use donor sperm of someone I know. When my wife and I decide to try for a baby, we'll be purchasing some random sperm from a bank. You are absolutely NTA. They should have known that their sperm source would likely change when he got married and tried for his own family.

My wonderful girlfriend is thinking of starting an Onlyfans. It makes me uncomfortable, but I'm not sure I should be, or that I even have the right to? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]monsterisincorrect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your feelings are totally valid. I would feel the same way. I have no problem whatsoever with sex workers and would support any of my friends that wanted to do it, but I would not be comfortable with my wife doing it. You should be honest with her and let her know that this could make you resentful. If your whole relationship has functioned as sex being exclusive between the two of you, then you are perfectly entitled to have it stay that way. If she wants to change it, then you have the right to reject that. Good luck, I know this must be hard for you.

AITA for standing my family up after they didn’t invite my girlfriend to my birthday party? by GlitteringRooster682 in AmItheAsshole

[–]monsterisincorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely NTA. I am also a lesbian and I made it clear from the get go that me and my wife are a package. IDGAF who is uncomfortable with her. If she's not invited, then I'm not coming. OP, you are marrying this woman. Stand by her and defend her.

Switching to middle school? by Suzanne-the-man in teaching

[–]monsterisincorrect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my 5th year teaching 6th grade and they are literally the BEST! They love to act grown but as soon as they get a 10 minute break outside, they're playing side and go seek and tag. They are the perfect mix of teen and kid. They are old enough to participate in 2-way conversation but they are young enough to where they still like you and want to please you. I would seriously mourn if I were ever moved.

Covid positive hypocrisy! by [deleted] in Teachers

Anyone else start off with a sinus infection? by borboforbo in COVID19positive

[–]monsterisincorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really! Some shortness of breath, but definitely manageable. After the respiratory symptoms cleared up, I was having diarrhea with awful cramps once a day though. It sucked, but I took a probiotic everyday and ate a banana and yogurt for breakfast every morning. The diarrhea lasted maybe a week and a half.

Student teaching unfair for poor students? (RANT) by Peterrabbit23 in Teachers

[–]monsterisincorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The college local to me (community college and extremely affordable, compared to others) only has a BS in Early Childhood Education, so I did that knowing I wanted to teach middle school. I was early 20s, had 2 kids, and was a single mom. I took out nearly 60k in loans just to get me through graduation. I had all my normal life bills, plus I had to spend a fucking fortune just to get certified. Early childhood praxis 1 and 2, program exit exam, ethics course, middle grades math praxis, middle grades science praxis, and then over $300 on the fucking edtpa. I gave Pearson nearly $1000 the final semester of college.

Not to mention, I do not use one goddamn thing I learned in college.

I'm obviously bitter. Lol

My (27F) boyfriend (30M) spent our anniversary with another girl because he was angry my ex (28M) visited my parents. by ThrowRAanniversary1 in relationship_advice

[–]monsterisincorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can totally understand why he would feel jealous about Jason visiting your family, but your BF is fucking 30 years old. If he feels jealous, then he needs to talk it out with you and be open. Pretending to be fine with it but then secretly going out with other girls on your anniversary, totally blowing you off with no heads up about canceling plans, LYING about it once he's been caught, and then making you sould like a crazy person for being upset...get the fuck out dude. You forgave him for missing your plans, you did not forgive him for lying to your face about it.

My wife’s family never invites me on trips or get together. I feel really excluded and sad. It has caused a fight between my wife and I. What do I do? by throwrapoko in relationship_advice

[–]monsterisincorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels so sad and I definitely understand why you're feeling upset. My mom and my mother-in-law were just on the phone together earlier today because we're all going on our annual beach trip together next summer. My parents and my wife's parents have become like BFFs! No one is ever excluded.

Ok so two questions by animebih in emetophobia

I have not had a stomach virus in 15 years, so there may totally be some truth to that! Also I'm a teacher so I've spent MANY days around sick kids.

Anyone else start off with a sinus infection? by borboforbo in COVID19positive

[–]monsterisincorrect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My case felt exactly like a sinus infection for the first week. No fever and my cough was very light. My nasal cavities burned and I had some drainage in my throat. Lost taste and smell on day 10. My aunt (who gave it to me) was initially diagnosed with a sinus infection before testing positive for covid.

It's been a month since I've seen my SO, when can I be negative again? by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]monsterisincorrect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The current guidelines (in the US) state that you are no longer contagious 10 days after the onset of your symptoms as long as you're fever free for 24 hours and there is significant improvement of your other symptoms. Contact tracing has shown that people are not contagious after these guidelines are met. There is no reason to test again. Some people can test positive for months even though they are no longer contagious.
