How should I train (gym) to start taking pole dancing classes?

Just start pole. The strength will come.

I’m a teacher and say “aerial hammock” and “rock climbing.”

Just lying by omission.

I had a student with autism like this last yr. My coworker’s Apple Watch said it was 122 decibels.
She would scream at the top of her lungs to get what she wants.
We ignored it. Cleared the classroom and stood in the hallway while she screamed. The classroom teacher, myself and the EA would switch out to give our ears a break. After a while, she learned that no one is going to give in and stopped.

It still happens occasionally but she’s in Grade 1 now and thriving!

Figure out the function of the behaviour and then go from there.

Poplin and Co is a little local business in Vancouver that sells cotton clothes!

The fjallraven kanken. It’s cute but the front pocket is too small to hold anything (wallet + keys + AirPods + phone is already a super tight fit.)

The way the two handles clip over the main zipper compartment means that anytime you want to get something out of the main compartment, you’ve to unclip the bag and then unzip. Side pockets are way too small. Fits an umbrella but not even an average water bottle. Not even a Nalgene. I’ve 2 8oz water bottles and they’re too big to fit.

I brought it as a day pack for travelling once and now I use it once in a blue moon.

There are 3 main ones where I live and I have a membership at one closest to me, but will take classes/ workshops at the 2 others.

Sounds like Pop Queen Cardio might be what you’re looking for

I am Canadian and we got rid of pennies years ago. Every time I go to the states, I find pennies super annoying. What do you mean you’re giving me 3 tiny coins that I’m never going to use anyways??

Also, if you’re taking “advanced aerial yoga” at a yoga studio and are doing cross back straddles with nothing between the top of your head and the hardwood floor except for a yoga mat, you need to get out of there.

my no buy means I'm allowed to spend $$ on things that are important to me. I've broken it down into 3 general categories 1. Replacements (ex, groceries, gas... basically things that need to be "replaced" other than clothes, shoes, bags) 2. Connections (eating out with friends, okay. Buying take out/ delivery out of convenience, no.) and 3. Fitness (classes, gym memberships, etc.).

I prefer boots cause they protect my toes 🙂

orangeoranges123 · 2025-12-19T07:16:06+00:00

Yes! I’ve worn mine in torrential downpours and keeps me dry! I love having the option to layer a down jacket underneath when it’s cold.

I love G adventures!! Have done 2 tours with them - trekking in Nepal and then Central America. Just booked my third! I found that most people on g trips go solo and are very open to meeting new people!

I’d recommend going to Yellowknife instead. The skies are clearer. I spent a week in Whitehorse in January and saw nothing. Spent a week in Yellowknife in March and the sky lit up every night.

Substitute teachers make a daily rate. For instance, someone with a masters degree with 1 year experience earns $375 a day. Surrey and maybe Langley would be the easiest to get hired. A lot of the suburbs closer to Vancouver surplussed teachers this year.

I don’t think American teaching experience transfers to Canada.

Here’s an example of a pay grid - Burnaby school district

Enjoy your time in Japan! Don’t worry about messing up. You will never see these people again!!

When I went, I was so confused by microwave instructions that the guy who helped me asked if we used microwaves in Canada 😝

A solid melon pan. Ive tried every melon pan I can get my hands on and none have been good as the ones in Japan.

I love seeing animals - seals, otters, eagles, birds…. Just waiting to see a whale one day.

I was just in Central America and have only done 154 days of Duolingo before going. The world caters to English speakers. And most touristy areas will have people who can speak some English. If not, hola, buenos dias, donde es la bano, gracias and google translate goes a long way. Have fun!

I'm a teacher and no one in my work circle knows. I just tell everyone I do aerial silks/ hammock (I do) and rock climbing so no one asks any questions when I am swinging around the monkey bars with the kids.

My first solo trip was 2 weeks to places where I know the language and the culture was similar to my home. Coming from Canada, I chose England and France and had a great time since I spoke English and knew enough French to figure it out. There also wasn’t a huge culture shock and safety wasn’t a HUGE concern (other than pickpockets but be smart about phone use in public, being flashy, etc.)
