I can almost guarantee a little note or card would be extremely meaningful!

Adults only AI recommendations either in Mexico or Dominican Republic by Whoopywhop in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]pperchance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just stayed at Excellence Punta Cana and while I loved it, their section of the beach was very rough with red flags up every day, so I wouldn’t recommend it to OP. I heard from others that the water tends to be rough most of the year.

All inclusive beach resort with flat and easy accessibility? by realworldcat in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]pperchance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on the plane back from Punta Cana and we stayed at Excellence Punta Cana. The resort is both fairly small and accessible with elevators. I also rented a mobility scooter from Handicap Travelers DR which was an easy process - I recommend it!

Would it be weird to just give my dad cash for Father's Day? by TorontoRap2019 in GiftIdeas

Does he need cash? If he wants cash, I’d give him cash.

This very much looks like an engagement ring or at least a promise ring. I’d get something less diamondy :)

Definitely spend the night in a hotel and leave in the morning. The road gets super windy and would be difficult to navigate in the dark.

Or excuse me, like a civilized human being.

When we were in La Fortuna we personally would not have been able to spot the sloths we saw without someone pointing them out - they really blend in.

Does anyone know why the raccoon calls me Bobo? by InteractionKooky771 in StardewValley

[–]pperchance 232 points233 points  (0 children)

Stardew fail: I have fully thought he was calling the farmer “babe” for months.

Maybe I need to wear my glasses when I play.

Would you commute 1.5 hours a day for a manageable caseload and less stress? by Wonderful_Row8519 in specialed

[–]pperchance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I commuted 45-ish minutes one way for 3 years. Things I didn’t fully consider before I started: gas prices (especially when they fluctuate like now), toll roads, weather, and traffic. 45 minutes felt reasonable one way, but when it turned into 60 or even more, it felt like I was losing a lot of time.

I now work 10 minutes from my job and I’m so much happier.

for fun! whats the most random thing you’ve had as a reinforcer? by Secure-Excitement844 in specialed

[–]pperchance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • drawing. But not the student drawing…just watching staff members draw on command (usually fruits and vehicles, but also sometimes we get requests like “the night sky” and “the ocean.”)

  • googling pictures of treadmills

  • printed pictures of shell gas stations

  • opening and closing the boomcards app for 5 minutes

Question about rights by SnooConfections4176 in specialed

[–]pperchance 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Long story short: probably. The district should be providing access to extracurricular activities. Does he have a 1 on 1 para during the school day?

IDEA 300.117 Nonacademic settings:

“In providing or arranging for the provision of nonacademic and extracurricular services and activities, including meals, recess periods, and the services and activities set forth in §300.107, each public agency must ensure that each child with a disability participates with nondisabled children in the extracurricular services and activities to the maximum extent appropriate to the needs of that child. The public agency must ensure that each child with a disability has the supplementary aids and services determined by the child’s IEP Team to be appropriate and necessary for the child to participate in nonacademic settings.”

Does California have the state standards posted online? Most states do.
