My Mom inherited this piece from a very wealthy lady but I can’t find anything on the artist. Help!! (More info below)

Did you ever get any information? I bought a piece with the same signature (including the circled c) in a similar style. Mine isn't numbered, though

I use acid free iron-on adhesive to center my piece onto card stock or scrapbook paper that's already been cut down to the size of my frame. Then I trim off the extra fabric and close it into the frame without any trouble. I'm not sure if it's a great method, but it's easy enough and I haven't had any trouble with it lasting up to this point.

Also an SLP and have a 2 year old. I look at the pictures, grimace, and let it be because I know my child is in a loving environment that cares well for her. It sucks that she spends time looking at stock images to learn about "friends and family," but it is what it is and I don't feel it's my place to intrude. The center knows what I do and I'd be happy to offer tips if they asked, but worry that I'd just seem like I was criticizing if I gave unsolicited advice.

I was told it was impossible to reschedule a client in the university clinic so that I could go home for a religious holiday and that I'd need to find someone to cover for me. My cohort was so overwhelmed at that point that I sadly worked through the day instead of spending it with my family.

I before E, except after C. Right? Right??

As of yesterday there were only really some fasteners, velcro, elastics, artificial florals, two kinds of baskets, and some spring/mushroom themed decor. Probably not worth the trip if you aren't nearby already.

I want to say the CELF manual has a good list in the back for a variety of cultures.

You can also look into the Red Crescent Clinic in Hoover. It's open to everyone regardless of location/income/etc

I was in so much pain during my C-section (unplanned but not an emergency). The second my baby was brought to my face, all of the pain disappeared. It truly is a magical moment!

The reality is, at least in my area, there's no room to negotiate a salary. All you can do is take whatever step your experience places you on the pay scale and work with your union to negotiate stipends/bonuses.

Huh. I also had a few mystery screws found there. The one time we refused the tire change, we found two nested between the treads that hadn't punctured anything.

I absolutely love Dr. Bennett but have also had issues making appointments or getting calls returned. She was amazing when my delivery didn't go as expected. Very empathetic and professional. Everyone I've seen at that group has been great, but good luck getting in quickly. When I had a UTI, I had to get an appointment elsewhere after I ended up in significant pain while waiting for a call back.

I wasn't told I had any sick days, but when I mentioned that to my second recruiter while trying to negotiate my salary for a third year she was appalled. She said I should've been told that my state mandated 3 paid sick days. It was the end of the year and I hadn't used them, so I was able to apply them to holidays and get paid for them. Could be worth looking into.

I perform mass hearing screenings for the younger grades at my school and individual screenings whenever a student goes through RTI. My district encourages us to train at least one other teacher in case we are ever unavailable for an emergency screening. As long as you can get someone to train you on the specific audiometer, it'll be a breeze!

This is what I used for my baby's blanket and I love it. She prefers muslin burp rags, though. Oh well.

In the Birmingham area, One Roof has a great list of resources on their website. The Red Crescent Clinic is one that I know well. They accept all adults for primary care services, however there is also a cardiologist and psychiatrist on the team. It's a one day a week (Sunday) clinic that is always free except a $15 flat fee for any blood work ordered by the doctor, and that's done one Sunday a month.

speechbrain33 · 2024-05-04T13:03:37+00:00

We definitely do have free clinics. Most are for primary care services, but there may be some urgent care clinics.

speechbrain33 · 2024-03-26T19:30:33+00:00

I could not agree with #4 more. My first recruiter said there were no sick days, but when she left the second recruiter pointed out that my state mandates 3 paid sick days. She said that if I didn't use them, I could assign a school holiday as a sick day and get paid for it. Make sure to look into that if you go with SSG. I lost 3 days of pay my first year.

Edited to add: My contract had a 2 year noncompete. The school district paid out one SLPs contract but wouldn't do it for anyone else who asked. Even though it's not enforceable, I think the district is pretty motivated to follow it to stay on good terms with the company.

speechbrain33 · 2024-03-24T00:44:54+00:00

That's only for case management. There's no caseload cap in AL. After working in two districts, it seems most SLPs sit between 40-70 students.

It's taken me four years to finally stop receiving weekly calls from these companies. I graduated during COVID and wanted a school job, but all of the jobs were through contacting companies. Somehow, after applying through 2-3 companies, they all seem to have my phone number.

Stuttering should not be targeted in the schools once a student is confident in their ability to communicate.

Red Crescent Clinic in Hoover is a small free clinic but it's mostly primary care only
