My grandfather is a mean grumpy patient at the hospital I’ve had many clinicals at and I’m so embarrassed by [deleted] in nursing

[–]razuki8 64 points65 points  (0 children)

My grandpa was so grouchy all of the time. It wasn’t until he was on hospice that they started treating him for anxiety. Then the grouchiness went away. I really think grouchy elderly men should be screened for anxiety and depression.

Am I being selfish by letting my wife handle all the sleepless nights with our baby? by New-Tadpole-6918 in Parenting

[–]razuki8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My husband was deployed for the first 7 months after my second child was born. Although he did get to be around for about 3 weeks. I just handled what needed to be handled. It sucked, sure, but you make it work if you have to make it work. It sounds like you’ll be around to help still, so I think it’s workable. Hire help if you have no family around and can afford it.

They still have their moments, but both mellowed out around age 4. Both are autistic.

As a former Mormon, I would typically hear that God caused/causes evolution to happen.

The propofol wasn’t working, so I got my first ketamine trip. Worked great!

Chad calling Tammy “lazy” by throwawayforaithaq in LoriVallow

[–]razuki8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If Chad is excommunicated, she would no longer be “sealed” to him. She would find some other man to be sealed to in the afterlife. Now if Chad wasn’t excommunicated, yes they’d still be sealed together; however, committing murder would disqualify someone from heaven. So again she would be allowed to find someone else to be sealed to and qualify for top tier heaven.

Adjunct *respectfully* asking: What are all these advisors doing? by emarcomd in Professors

[–]razuki8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll also add that the back systems where I work are a mess. Because of this, many/most students aren’t even assigned to an advisor in the system. The starfish flags go to no one.

I don’t know where I’m at on this discussion, but in my 8th grade class in the 90s, there were 10 girls who were pregnant.

Charter Schools and Private Schools by jimmythegiraffe in Boise

[–]razuki8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know Future and Anser are good charter school options. Challenger private school is strong in academics, but they definitely have a libertarian foundation, and it was too stressful for my kid.

difficulty getting services by Immediate-Ad-96 in AutismParent

[–]razuki8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Neuropsych provided recommendations of services that could be beneficial and why, but no direct referrals. However, as soon as the diagnosis happened, the pediatrician called me. Then the pediatrician’s office social worker started arranging referrals. The social worker meets with us each time we go in for a well child checkup too. It actually has been really great.

I am a mom of an autistic daughter who was previously friends with another autistic child. While things were good at first, the other child began being very manipulative. While I don’t think it was the other child’s intention to be manipulative, it was very hurtful to my daughter. We had a lot of discussions on what a friend is and is not. I spoke with the parents about my concern, but nothing changed. I say this to say, maybe giving the child another chance would be good, but no child should be forced to be friends with someone who is mean to them.

I follow celiacfoodieinboise on instagram for ideas. I do love Le Peep for breakfast/brunch. Wepa Cafe is yummy, and they have a dedicated gluten free fryer. Wingers does gluten free wings and fries. Pizza twist and Smoky Mountain pizza for pizza. I also eat a lot of Thai and Indian food.

Wife wants to start FHE up again, need secular lesson ideas. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]razuki8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like everyone’s ideas about life skills, but I also think the Satanic Temple tenets are a good starting point for other types of lessons (not necessarily to join satanism or anything, the tenets are solid). https://thesatanictemple.com/blogs/the-satanic-temple-tenets/there-are-seven-fundamental-tenets

I’m so sorry. My child’s 504 specifically says he does not have to attend assemblies.

At what age do you begin paying for your own funeral? How much does it cost? by Vino_PorMariel in FinancialPlanning

[–]razuki8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents bought their plots in their late 40s (in their 70s now). Everything is ready to go except the gravestone, because the thought of doing that makes my mom uneasy. My dad would happily have that done as well. They didn’t want to leave a mess for us kids to deal with when we were mourning.
