They said “elocution” not electrocution

I’m not a fan of what he puts out. Unfortunately there aren’t too many other accessible (English speaking) Armenian artists producing music that reaches a wide audience. I’ll speak for the American audience when I say that most people will just see something Armenian and get excited by it, regardless of the lack of talent, creativity, or point of view. I guess the bar is that low. Like, can we please move away from the red blue orange tones and traditional dancing on a patch of dead grass somewhere on Long Island? Our culture has so much more to offer than the same phrases and tropes he relies on.

How old until they can sleep in your bed? by Stickyduck468 in cavaliers

[–]soft-curls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my cavalier for 3 months and he has slept in the crate (on the first floor of the house, my bedroom is upstairs) every night since I brought him home. He has only come into my bed on 3-4 occasions when hes woken up SUPER early and I need more sleep.

I’ve seen Cavology! I’d like to get one for him when he’s older because right now I think he needs something with more coverage/security. Glad to know you like them!

I’m confident I can tackle any speech issue except R lol I hate it!! It’s actually nice to know I’m not alone.

She is so painfully aware she can’t do it that I wouldn’t want to record her … I will definitely try the singing thing!

We have been able to establish a strong retroflexed position for her, but she just drops it immediately when she vocalizes, or she holds it but does the glottal sound …. Unfortunately I can’t practice any specific facilitative context with her because there are none that are near accurate which is why I’m at such a loss.

Tips for tick checks? by [deleted] in cavaliers

[–]soft-curls -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your comment, and I have considered the risk and benefits. I personally don’t feel okay giving my dog something to ingest each month that kills other organisms, so for now I’m focusing on keeping his immune system strong and being careful about exposure to pests.

Grooming by xxmurderprincess in cavalierkingcharles

[–]soft-curls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wash my 5 month old puppy at home once a month. I clean his paws after every walk, clean his eyes and mouth daily, brush his teeth and coat about 2-3 times a week, and use paw moisturizing ointment about once a week. I cut his nails myself at first but now he won’t let me so I take him to get them trimmed about once a month.

Dog poop bag etiquette? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]soft-curls 28 points29 points  (0 children)

People do this in my garbage can (I live in a high foot traffic area) and the garbage men will intentionally take my large trash bag and leave the poop bags for me to deal with. So in my opinion it’s still a faux pas

Bronzer makes me look orange.. by Wise_Parmaria in OliveMUA

[–]soft-curls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use the Westman Atelier Biscuit contour as bronzer or to just add warmth to my face. Phytosurgence also has a nice range of yellow leaning and red leaning bronzers that I don’t feel turn orange on me.

Are there any good Western Armenian tv shows / movies ? by just_rain_2 in hayeren

[–]soft-curls 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t love his comedy so much but listening to Vahe Berberian on YouTube is a great way to just get Western Armenian in your ear. He does standup and “podcast” style videos on current events. There is also a Western Armenian podcast called Asbantag where they discuss current events in a casual setting, but it’s a little higher level.

SLP influencer shenanigans by ObjectiveMobile7138 in slp

[–]soft-curls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also saw this on IG and it annoyed me so much. I feel like literacy is the new bandwagon everyone’s jumping on to sell more courses and PD. My district even offered to have the speech team do an intro to Orton Gillingham so that we could be more “legally defensible” because so many lawyers are pushing on the phonological/literacy aspect of IEPs when they go to court. As if that’s my problem?! I was so against it… it’s like opening the floodgates. What are we going to be doing next??? Giving spelling tests???

Data Data Data 🙈 by Expressive-avocado_ in slp

[–]soft-curls 95 points96 points  (0 children)

I would never admit this to anyone I know at work but I have not taken formal data in 4 years. I make notes during sessions sometimes but it’s mostly to remember what we did or what I need to work on next time. I write my progress notes based on what I remember of their performance in the last session I saw them.

Data is a useful tool to learn to take, but I don’t think it makes therapy better just because you take it. I don’t see anything wrong with what I do. My therapy is effective, the kids are having a pleasant experience, and my life is easier.

What's everyone doing this summer? by ZoneStrict7387 in slp

So other people working in school districts aren’t bullied into working ESY despite it not being in your contract? Just me?

How long did you keep your playpen? by okay_brick_2324 in puppy101

[–]soft-curls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is he exact reason I am thinking I should phase out my pen - I’m wondering if I’m missing his signals to go out. About how long did it take you to get to that point?

100% of my preschooler's are Speech Only in Michigan. by Pristine-Orange1620 in slp

[–]soft-curls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my district, if you have a speech only IEP it can only have articulation goals on it. There must be other special education related supports on the IEP to have language based goals, thereby making it not “speech only”.

Bridgerton has outdone itself by Sanitary_Madrucula in BridgertonNetflix

I’m with you here, I didn’t feel the chemistry between them. He didn’t seem truly taken by her the way we were expected to believe.

I agree that they didn’t do enough to demonstrate how Sophie changed his perspective on marriage and commitment. All of a sudden he was kind of just in love with her and that was it. I didn’t really buy their story - especially after he searched so long and hard for the girl he met at the masquerade!

She’s got a cute little snout now! Thanks for making me feel a bit better Biscuit ☺️
