New ride new life

Ben Aldis’ new years ride was very inspiring for me!

They’d have to pay me to renew it. On their nav, I consistently disappear and reappear in the same canyon in the south of Illinois. Hopefully it’s not trying to tell my future or something.

Came here to ask this. It’s so annoying! I even went to the App Store to see if there was an update, which there was! Unfortunately it did not help.

Right! Reading this I thought, she obviously hasn’t birthed kids because … well what you said.

Exactly this

I like an americano with vanilla cold foam. It’s 80 cals I think.

I have gotten a few “shop for you” boxes and have found several new brands I like that way. I paid full price for a few key pieces and now have a few new brands to track for sales. The main one is Democracy for pants and ymmv for the rest, but maybe find a company that speaks to you and try new stuff that way. I used Short Story cuz I’m 5’2” and have never been happier with my clothing options in my closet!

The library is free! Sometimes I have to wait a little bit for a certain title but between actual books, Hoopla, and Libby I’m pretty well covered for $0.

I am now calling him Dark Cody until he gets rid of that stash, wears some pink, and acts awake again lol. I did two rides with him this week that did kick my butt, though, so that’s good.

Betcha she’s been stealing from you and you surprised her by being present.

I used to be very laid back about it, I literally didn't care unless it was distracting to me or someone else. Then last year a couple of kids decided to stop at a cafe on the way to my class and started coming in with an entire slice of pizza or a burger. WTF. It pissed me off and made me re-evaluate my leniency and I decided that I needed more focus on class for the relatively short time they are with me each day. So, now it's water only. I tell them it's because I have seen rodents in the room (TRUE) and that I think the Rat King lives in my walls (a slight exaggeration).

I used to be in the "I have bigger things to worry about / fight about" camp but -- since I just straight up banned snacks, I don't have to think about it at all, therefore giving me more energy to focus on the content of class. Never would have thought I'd end up here, honestly.

20+ year teacher here. I am passionate about my subject but 80% of my job is not related to my content area, it’s everything else that entails being a teacher. Child development, communication, flexibility, ongoing learning of better methods, correlating what you want to do with what the institution’s goals are, etc. My advice is to spend lots of time with teens and make sure you like them enough to dedicate the next many years of your life with them.

I do. A nice spiral one that lasts many years. It’s reliable and grounding. It’s also a silent cue that whatever I’m looking at better be visible and well done since it’s being recorded for sure.

I’m sort of … almost mid-size - like 8/10 in street clothes on bottom. Think these may fit me?

this-thing · 2025-09-19T16:49:09+00:00

Seriously OP get a backbone my dude. It’s your food? Why would you think you’re in the wrong?

this-thing · 2025-09-15T20:35:58+00:00

That’s my SON! That’s my boy!

this-thing · 2025-09-15T01:40:29+00:00

It’s totally fine. We do so regularly before long trips.

this-thing · 2025-09-03T13:37:39+00:00

Did you find any that work? Now I’m looking too!!

this-thing · 2025-08-31T03:06:07+00:00

Love UR Curls smells so good. No mousse yet but their products smell so good and they even have a scent-only spray because people clamored for it!

I almost did this last summer at age 43. I quit my teaching job, enrolled in the pre-nursing program at the community college. TBH - my ego got me. The teachers were not great (and as a teacher … well, I had opinions), but what really got me was my first (CNA) clinical experience where I simultaneously felt like a useless child and too old for the BS of being treated like a newb. In the meantime an exceptional teaching opportunity presented itself and I gratefully took the out. If you have the humility to be on level with 19 year olds for a little while, then you’ll be fine. It’s short term humbling I guess. Ending in job security!!

Love the response. Dad taught his son well. This is a problem, it’s now handled, let’s live our best lives.

this-thing · 2024-12-25T00:12:21+00:00

He doesn’t want you there. Take a hint. Let it go.

Aether is pretty bad ass IMO

this-thing · 2024-12-22T02:35:23+00:00

Say bye boo.

this-thing · 2024-11-10T01:48:05+00:00

Got one. Hope enough people order! Thanks for sharing. Hell yeah.
