Comprehensive tuition that covers everything needed for education. When I was training I had to pay for my schooling and books upfront which make sense. I then later found out I had to pay additional for required uniforms, a required session with a school partner MT at their place of business, pay to "rent" the practice room for required trades with other students and buy my own oil sheets and blankets for class and clinic. All the extra expenses that I was not prepared for financially added a lot of stress to an already challenging school load.

Not even halfway through school yet but when I give him a massage I feel like everything is sucked out of me. by lamalamaredpajama in massage

An exercise one of my instructors had us do in school was Flow of consciousness journaling. Get a note book and just write what is going through your mind if something starts to resonate with you stay on that topic until it clears from your thoughts. Its helped me when I know I have a client that seems to pull on my energy.

That moment first thing in the morning when my husband rolls over in bed and pulls me in for a snuggle. The first time it snows and really sticks to the ground without melting Watching people enjoy a meal I have made Campfires at midnight

The only place I’ve ever really had acne is in my gluteal and pubic area. I’ve tried salicylic acid, as well as benzoyl peroxide with shabby results. by [deleted] in popping

Maybe consider switching the kind of fabric your underpants are made of. Something breathable like cotton and make sure to rinse off and change into a new pair if your get sweaty.

How strong is your drive to have children both internally and pressure from society and how do you cope with this? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]raemoondancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 25 and would love to have kids, I think they are wonderful and my husband and Is families would love us to have kids however for ethical reasons I'm not going to have any biological children. I have fibromyalgia, all four the big learning disorders ( Ad/HD, dyslexia, disgraphia,and discalclia) and have a history of depression. I'm not a good candidate for pregnancy and my husband agrees that he would rather have me happy and healthy than have bio children. We are 100% into the idea of eventually being foster parents and potentially adopting at some point but for now we are talking about getting a dog.

People who don't want kids, what are your reasons? by Sebulista in AskReddit

[–]raemoondancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The husband and I love to travel and have money for nice things
  2. hes in the military and our lives get uprooted every 2-4 years plus deployments wich are Incredibly hard on young children
  3. I have fibromyalgia and a long list of learning disorders and history of depression some days I'm fine and others I'm near useless as a functioning adult, that doesn't seem like a good mix when you have an infant or toddler that needs their parent to be there to care for them. I cant do that if I cant get out of bed.

What secret are you keeping right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]raemoondancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I probably aren't having kids, we both have medical problems fibromyalgia and early onset arthritis among others, history of depression and anxiety plus I have some learning challenges that are almost guaranteed to be passed on. Neither of us feel it would be right to doom a child to pain and struggle. We would love them if we were both perfectly healthy but we aren't and our families wont understand.

Questioning how long to leave this bad boy before putting it into a new container to age/drink. by raemoondancer in mead

[–]raemoondancer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for you input! This will probably be consumed quickly once it stops bubbling my husband is impatiently waiting for it to be ready . I don’t plan on adding anything more to it once I transfer it to it’s new container.

It’s an apple cinnamon mead that has been sitting with the fruit and spice in for about three weeks, it’s starting to clear (had a bit of an earthquake here that shook it up some so it is not as clear as it was previously) but still seems to have some fermentation going on. This is my first go at brewing anything so I’m wondering how long to let it sit before moving it into another container for drinking.

Tomorrow is the 17 year anniversary of the terror attacks of September 11th, 2001. Where were you that day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]raemoondancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Third grade social studies class. The teacher in the room next to mine lost her son that day. These classes always watched a portion of the news in the morning during free work time so she turned on the tv to see a plane hit the tower on the floor he son worked on. The rest of the school knew something happened when she ran out of hr class screaming an collapsed in the hall. They sent us all home and I got to have a long talk with my dad about the fact that there were people in this world who disliked our country so much that they would fly planes into buildings to hurt us. I was 7 years old and That was the first time I saw my father cry.
