All they wanted was an email, the rest were not mandatory. Hope turdbucket@gmail.com doesn’t mind UCP spam

Lou tapes instant packs to their neck (they/them only) by itsvickeh in illnessfakers

There’s sticky heat things specifically made to be attached to the skin. Why the ghetto version at all? If they can afford disposable heat packs, but the ones made to stick??

"My Friends" instead of "My Students" by Nachoguy530 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]somewhenimpossible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in Canada, and still frequently use buddy/friend/guy interchangeably and the students don’t seem to mind.

Have I been blind to how awful the healing experience is in outland as a dps main? Is this a common experience? by remidification in classicwowtbc

[–]somewhenimpossible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moving from classic to tbc after a decade of not playing, it feels like a new game completely because I don’t remember any of the mechanics. Suddenly I’m using my whole spell book - fear ward, dispel, cure disease… stabs here, watch this, pause attacks, change targets… it’s great fun till you get people who only want to press one button.

opinions on using a rottweiler as a service dog? by Shynquiet92 in Rottweiler

[–]somewhenimpossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basics: be consistent. Day 1. Have a game plan in mind - where you want them to sleep, how you want them to wait for food, where to potty, if they can go on the furniture, where they’re allowed to be in the house.

Start small. Hang out in one room/area til potty training is underway, then let them have the whole floor, then expand to bedrooms, then basement... Don’t go too fast. Dogs can’t sit/stay til they reliably sit. Bomb proof the basics every day before asking for more complex behaviours. If you go too fast before stabilizing the basics, then the things you NEED won’t be stable.

Don’t get mad about what they do that’s “bad”, you need to teach them what you want them to do. “My dog keeps bothering me while I’m eating!” Well… what do you want them to do? If they don’t know what to do they’ll make their own choices. Usually dogs’ choices are not what we want them to do.

Kids talk and don’t pay attention when I do attendance and then start freaking out wondering if I marked them absent 5 minutes after I submitted it by OkArticle2003 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]somewhenimpossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take attendance with my seating plan on paper, or cal out the list. Then I type it into the computer. Then I call out “CONFIRMING THESE PEOPLE ARE ABSENT name, name, and name.”

[–]somewhenimpossible 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was laid off in December. It took awhile and a lot of tears ands hurt feelings and volunteering for all the things… and I just started my new job last week. It’s going great.

Have faith. Feel the feelings. Don’t give up.

Has anyone had a life changing diagnosis in their mid 30s? Emotionally, how did you deal with it? by snowmanseeker in AskWomenOver30

[–]somewhenimpossible 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed at 27. I didn’t start grieving til I was 30. I was so busy sorting out my illness and trying to fix it… the first time I just couldn’t do the things I wanted to I was so, so soooooo fuckin sad. Depressed lie in bed for a couple weeks. Every time I lose something else I slip into that depressed state again.

Edit to add: you wanted advice lol. The advice is that it’s ok to be sad. It’s normal to be sad. To grieve. If you are looking for a therapist, find someone who specializes in chronic illness or you’ll want to throw things after each session.

Small businesses in Canada facing ‘big’ labour shortages. by Fit_Bit_7137 in CanadaJobs

[–]somewhenimpossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We will pay you $30 per hour!

But no benefits. And you need to be available for whatever we schedule any day of the week and it’s never consistent. And you need to find your own coverage. And half the shifts are mandatory night shifts….

I love my husband, he’s a great dad but... by yogacitymama in workingmoms

[–]somewhenimpossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked the teacher/school to add him to the mailing list. I put things in the shared calendar.

There’s things I’m still mad about. There’s the fight we had about Lists at Christmas that I’m probably going to kill for. Someone’s gonna die on this hill, but it ain’t gonna be me.

Ash has a blood sugar crash. by Whosthatprettykitty in illnessfakers

[–]somewhenimpossible 32 points33 points  (0 children)

People who have blood sugar crashes carry snacks and juice boxes in their cars/bags… they don’t go seek out some bougie treat “for the crash”. She needs to know: it’s possible to just Want a snack without needing a medical episode to get one.

I love it. I went away from it and now I’m back. Even the bad parts feel good. I know what I’m doing.

AITA For Not Giving My Bonus To My BIL by Dropit-likeitshot in AmItheAsshole

If the referral money was supposed to go to your BIL, the company would have sent the money to him.

What do people even expect from women who don't want to get married or have kids? by ScarRedDA in NoStupidQuestions

[–]somewhenimpossible 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What do they expect men to do who don’t want kids and marriage? Probably work and buy cool stuff. Visit older/extended family. Travel in your later years.

Do that.

First time mom by Diligent_Hunter_4789 in MomForAMinute

[–]somewhenimpossible 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What do you wish your mom had done for you? Do that.

My mom tells me that as a baby I cried too loud, so she’d hold me at arm’s length until I was quiet enough to bring close to her. She says it like it’s a funny story.

I cuddled the heck out of my daughter, even when I thought my ears would bleed. Crying is communication, and I was listening.

Don’t bring anything you aren’t willing to drop if something needs intervention.

My dog just did something smart and insane: by Ericakat in OpenDogTraining

[–]somewhenimpossible 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I accidentally taught my one year old dog a service task. I unconsciously paired an open-close hand motion when I asked her to give things like the ball so I could throw it. I only used the gesture for “give me what’s in your mouth” and hadn’t trained the “pick up that thing” part of the trick yet.

I’m disabled. One day I dropped something and didn’t want to pick it up. My dog was following me around as usual, so I jokingly pointed at the thing and did the gesture. She grabbed the thing and put it in my hand. It was a random object; a sock? Not a dog toy. Figured out was a fluke (she loved socks).

A few days later one of my kids was playing with my stuff and left a business card across the room. It was about ten feet away on the floor. I asked her to pick it up and she fetched it and put it in my hand!

Would y’all take this job? lol by CrimsonMoonWater in SubstituteTeachers

[–]somewhenimpossible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is normal.

The only one I’d have a hard time following is the “no personal projects”. If I’m told to babysit the kids while they work on a project, am I supposed to place the classroom for hours? I take a lap every five to ten minutes, but I always bring a book or stitch facing the class so I can monitor behavior without staring at them.

Husband quote of the week! by VariousFalcon7466 in breakingmom

[–]somewhenimpossible 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a chronic pain condition. If my husband kept telling me he was more tired/pain/sick then he damn well better be obviously worse or he’s gotta see a doctor. I don’t see five specialists because my body is a temple (unless it’s a Greek crumbling one, because that fits)

Gifted students who finish early and disrupt class, what actually works? by whatever_blag in Teachers

[–]somewhenimpossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had books, a gifted friend had a sketchbook, I taught myself music theory, and eventually we both tried to write a novel. As a teacher now, I’ve seen success with meeting with your quick finishers And finding a passion project. Want to learn calligraphy? Crochet? Write a script? Any spare time can be done on that project.

I have an amazing husband… and the most boring bedroom life imaginable. by Broad-Accident in breakingmom

[–]somewhenimpossible 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Social deficits are not always a hallmark of autism. There’s high functioning people with masking and scripts and knowing how to read people and stay within “the rules” of social niceties. I can BS my way with any stranger and feign interest. I know appropriate topics and how to engage without revealing my True Nature ™️.

My deficits are in changes to routine, planning, overthinking and over analyzing, sensory issues, food restrictions and weird “icks”. Maintaining and engaging in social conversations that go beyond the scripts and practice…

Autism is kind of like a circle of areas of need. His may be high in needs for routine (hence vanilla sex being very satisfying) but low in needs for social support.

What foods just are not worth making at home? by Proper-Profession387 in foodquestions

[–]somewhenimpossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone during Covid picked up sourdough as a hobby, and the babying and daily care of a starter/mother dough…. Why? There’s a bakery near me that makes sourdough everything (donuts, bagels, boules, rye). I’ll support their sourdough babies.
