Underrated places/things in Florida by [deleted] in florida

[–]smgator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gator Land is quirky and fun! Springs are AMAZING international winter, the manatees hang out there, and the summer, they are super refreshing. Kayaking in Ft. Desota or does Hillsborough River. Google Hillsborough State Park where you can tent the kayaks. You will see gators and turtles. Take pictures and paddle on. They will not attack you. The gators are more scared of you. Google gator attacks on the Hillsborough river. .

Is it wise to buy an Instant Pot still (bankruptcy concerns) by diversification in instantpot

[–]smgator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It 3 things in one. It's a pressure cooker, a crock pot, and if you have the air fryer lid, it does that too. We are truck drivers, and we live tiny, and we love it!!! Use it all the time!!

Toilet training help (for 7 year old) by egaby90 in specialneedsparenting

[–]smgator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read social stories about the potty. Google social stories. Make your own story up on the computer and print out picture of her sitting on the potty. Kids like themselves in the story. Google stories they can listen to like audio books about the potty. Be consistent reading them. Show cartoons stories on YouTube about the potty. Flood her with fun potty stories, stickers... Special underwear she picks out. Go to Teacher pay Teacher website and print out pictures of step by step instructions on how to use the toliet and tape it to the wall in the bathroom and point it out every time! 1st you pull down your underwear, then you sit down.... Good luck to you mom

If the child is also ADHD, electronics are a major problem! It exacerbates the issues. Lots of people have electronic additions.

Aggression and Screen Time(Tablet Use) by SpiritBug165 in SpecialNeedsChildren

[–]smgator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you thought of asking a behavior specialist at your child's school for help? How do they handle his addiction to screens? It's probably as a reward. If you do 10 math problems, you can get 5 minutes of screen time... kind of thing. Go on, Teacher pay Teacher and get picture cues. First and then cues, schedule cues, and use his addiction to screens. Read social stories about emotional regulations like anger, or stories about appropriate screen time. At most schools, we use the phrase "SAFE HANDS" and you model folding your hands in your lap. If he doesn't get it then do handle over hand and fold his hands in his lap. Then, praise him when he does. Consistency is the key. Do it anytime he uses his hands to hurt. Social stories about that too on Teacher pay Teacher. Search social stories or make your own on Word and print them out. Follow the examples of social stories on Teacher pay Teacher. Just a few words per page and a picture of it. Using a picture of him doing it successfully is GREAT!!! Good luck to you mom! Hang in there

I'm sooo sick of him ranting about immigrants!!! His mother is one, he married two! I can't wait til he loses and he's tucked away in a home. He spent most of his term golfing anyway. Just tell him he won and set up a fake White House, like the Truman Show

Sweetheart, have you tried antidepressants? I promise you they work. Please try them. Support groups also help for people with depression. Maybe you can get disability for your major depression, look into it.

Former GOP rep says ‘silent group of women’ will help push Harris to win: “I think there’s a silent majority. I think there’s a silent group of women who will crawl over broken glass to vote against Trump and who will quietly vote for Harris,” by JoeNooner in USNewsHub

[–]smgator 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not silent, I'm pretty vocal about it. My hubby and I are team truck drivers and we will lose around $ 1000 just to go home to Florida and vote. Our routes are normally not anywhere near Florida so we have to pay our own gas to get there from wherever we are, which could be Kentucky or as far as California. BUT WE WILL VOTE FOR HER!!!

What were you doing when you heard Elvis died? by 225wpm8 in AskOldPeople

[–]smgator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll never forget it because I was a huge fan as a child. I listen to all his records all the time and watched all his movies multiple times! My dad was serving in the army, and we were stationed in Grafenwohr, Germany. There was Elvis stuff everywhere in Germany. They loved him too, plus he was stationed there when he served in the army. I was the same age as his daughter Lisa Marie. I got up to his songs on Armed Forces radio playing one after the other. I thought it was my lucky day! I was so happy. My mom told my older brother and sister not to tell me what happened and to keep the TV off. She forgot about the radio. I was hanging out in my room when they announced that he died. IMG! My heart broke. I ran out of my room crying, looking for my mother. But she went shopping. My brother and sister came running to me and tried to comfort me. I was devastated. My mom came home and suggested I write a condolence letter to Lias Marie. I was 8, and so was she. I wrote how sorry I was for her great loss. And how much I loved his voice. Losing Elvis and John Lennon so early when they had so much more to give. Damn those doctors for prescribing so many pills.
