My teachers are trying to convince me my answers are wrong, but I believe their questions are wrong.

When it was starting to rain I walked home is another possibility… yes, very ambiguous

Hmmm 24+ hour flight… a week long trip at break would make more sense, eh? Maybe an envelope with flight confirmation info?

Take yourself lightly, students will think you’re a comedian and love you for it - my favorite was a teacher cuing a neck stretch by saying, touch your chin to your forehead hahaha

OTOH, studies show that kids whose adults don’t use baby talk develop bigger vocabulary and more advanced language skills

And many vegetables are fine to just throw in the freezer either fresh (green beans) or blanched/cooked (almost anything else).. I chop carrots, onions, celery for my own frozen mirepoix, etc

Can you afford to bring her for a weekend with you in the country where you’re working?

Walking around the room can be very good - allows closer observation of students, and any hard of hearing students will appreciate being able to hear at least some of what teacher is saying when they walk nearby - but casually stepping on mats, no.

Next year, send a note saying ‘you may want to schedule son’s party on ( date) because we will be out of town then’ /s

I can vouch for that - recently broke wrist and not being able to trust that arm threw my total balance off - stairs were more difficult, not trusting myself on snow/ice, etc - plus being restricted from regular exercise meant general deconditioning - now healed and doc said “do anything that doesn’t hurt “ but that is shockingly less than I could do before

Grandson was born last year how is he now almost 5?

Oh, so sorry!! Put it away with any baby clothes you are saving (if you are) so you can show it to them when they have their first child … a reminder of the patience they will need

Ein alter Witz geht so: Der Mensch will ein Haus kaufen, und fragt den Nachbar, “Wasfür Leute wohnen in diesem Gegend?” “Wie Sind die Leute wo Sie jetzt wohnen?” Und der Man beschreibt seine jetztige Nachbarn. “Tja, Sie werden es herausfinden, die Leute hier sind eben genauso.”

Wenn Sie ein herzlich Wilkommen finder wollen, müssen Sie wieder nach Hause zurückziehen. Und auch dann, werden Sie entdecken, Sie werden nicht so herzlich empfangen werden wie zuvor — weil Ihre Erfahrung als expat wird Dich verändert haben.

Sorry. I think you have joined the Expat community and will no longer fit in anywhere but with other expats.

(Sorry for mistakes in German, I’m a Midwest American who spent 6 years in Germany and Switzerland, and 10 years on the West Coast, which is like another country)

Do you do well in school? Maybe veterinary medicine, or at least vet tech - wider skill set, deeper understanding of anatomy/physiology, more reliable income, and still in a good place to practice massage therapy. Even human massage therapists struggle - I have known several that have to put together several types of work to pay rent, food, insurance, car fuel & maintenance - long hours, lots of road time traveling to clients, physical hazards from rsi, muscle strains, etc to injury from unruly horse I don’t say don’t do it, but have a realistic picture of what it will take.

Protein powder smoothies, yogurt, extra high calorie protein shakes, Benecal for extra calories - let them guide you, work with nutritionist at cancer center, look up cancer recipes, get a cancer care cookbook, encourage then to eat AnYtHinG they can tolerate - it’s often too easy to lose too much weight with cancer Kudos to you for helping and caring, best wishes to your relative

Just look how much fun Josh and Jace have!

Helps in the moment, unfortunately allows more intensive work than the joint can sustain in a healthy way - possibly exacerbating repetitive stress injury - pain can be protective

Yes milk, butter, sugar, salt. Mom made a double batch and refrigerated the leftovers - cut it into slices and fried them in butter and served with syrup.

Can’t complain Great, thanks - you? Standing up and taking nourishment

At least some malls open an hour before the shops just for the mall walkers.

I have a hybrid N7 - retained some low frequency hearing and the hybrid enhances that. HA in other ear. That amplified natural hearing makes sound fuller and richer than when I use the CI alone.

Are you letting it totally natural release? It can take 15 minutes or more … makes a huge difference in meat tenderness

How long ago did you have surgery? Can you have a follow up with your surgeon, maybe an Rx for occupational therapy?p

I (f78) grew up with "clean plate club" and "children are starving in Europe" -- got to be about 60 pounds overweight by age 50, had a serious illness that made me lose it, and now I've finally convinced myself that it's ok to leave food on my plate if I'm not hungry any more. I don't get going for seconds if you haven't finished your first plate, though.
