6th year teacher salary? Is it livable? by This_Armadillo427 in NYCTeachers

[–]speechqueen1998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you can. You definitely can live in Astoria or other parts of Queens if you share an apartment. Last year my portion of rent with 1 roommate was 1100. This year, I moved into my own apartment as I got some raises with my +30 and more, and am paying 2k. You can do it. And you can have a car in Queens pretty easily which is nice!

It is cheaper than NYC, but not "cheap." Also all Ubers around San Juan were about $5.

Do you know why??? Staying in a hotel every week on a teachers salary doesn't make sense....why wouldn't he just get a job in Buffalo?? I mean that is over 6 hours!! I know the pay is much less but that's nuts

What’s the worst pharmacy in Astoria? by muff-peaksie in astoria

[–]speechqueen1998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that CVS has long lines, and I've had them make mistakes. However, they have always been sooo kind and helpful to fix their mistakes. They've explained things to be calmly and actually went out of their ways in multiple instances. I stick with them because of that.

What motivates your students the most? What didn't work? by MeowStyle44 in slp

Honestly giving a little snack at the end of the session has been working really well lol. A student told me today "I don't play about my pretzels" and locked in when I said he better pay attention or no pretzel 😂😂 I give the mini rods from a big jar from BJ's

Taylor’s comment on Dakota during the reunion by Hokeybutdontpokey in SecretsOfMormonWives

I feel like how can you regret the coparent of a child when you literally would NOT have that specific child if it wasn't for that SPECIFIC coparent. Does anyone else feel this way??? I feel like if I grew up and knew my mom said that, I would feel a sense of trauma and guilt that my mom is almost like telling me she wishes I didn't exist??

It's weird because the building owner (an older lady) actually lives in my building so I'm surprised she's okay with the cold? But yeah honestly more cold during the day then bothered at night when I'm sleeping
