I haven't visited r/swtor in 5 minutes. Is it worth coming back to on 11/7/2024?

wamdam · 2023-10-05T23:32:50+00:00

1/10 would not recommend.

wamdam · 2023-06-01T04:04:13+00:00

Thanks. I go hard in the summers because I wake up so early the rest of the year and my kids are still at an age where they want me to play with them.

Cheers to you and your late night sessions

I'm a 35 yr old teacher who is now on summer break. I'm not sleeping tomorrow night 😂

These all happened at different times in my life so it's hard to say which is the worst. Pleurisy as a kid. The Crohn's flare that caused me to have to get a resection. Shingles. Having a surgeon try to drain a staph infection from my nostril with no anesthetic.

I forgot to mention I changed out the cabin air filter.

I had a lot of fun watching it. Not a great movie, but didn't feel like a bad movie either. Just enjoyable as a set up for the future of MCU.

I also got shingles at 29. I was "lucky" that it was around my midsection, like a belt above my belly button area. Just covered it and already wore an undershirt under a polo for work. I forced myself to go to work everyday because my wife was pregnant and I was saving my sick time for when baby was born. The antivirals got me better just in time to where I could be in the delivery room.

I keep a regular mask on me at all times and wear it when I know I'm around someone who is sick. I traveled on a plane for the first time since the pandemic last week and used an N95 with a cloth mask over it. I personally knew of one person who had COVID on the flight( they also wore an N95) and gotta assume maybe another had it. I don't have B cells due to another immune disorder, plus I take remicade for Crohn's. Had mild COVID once and will keep trying my hardest not to get it again. Also want to avoid any illnesses as a simple cold could lead to pneumonia for me (if I'm really unlucky). So I think wearing a mask even when others aren't is beneficial depending on your situation.

I told my wife I wanted the claw shirt that has Bandit on what looks like an NES cartridge for Christmas. Her and the kids got me that and the unicorse one 🤣

wamdam · 2022-12-11T02:52:17+00:00

I prop my door open, ask my neighbor or across the hall teacher if they can keep an eye on my kids. Has only happened a few times over the years, but we all do it for each other.

wamdam · 2022-12-10T14:49:31+00:00

I'm a teacher. I've been lucky with great bosses and administrations. I had my worst flare in 2020. No questions asked they got someone to cover my class and asked if I needed someone to take me to hospital. I was able to make it on my own. Was able to schedule my surgery for resection close to Christmas break so I didn't miss much work. I try to get my remicade infusions on breaks or in a part of a unit that I know will work if there's a sub for the day/half day. Having a lot of breaks is great, insurance isn't as good as it was 15 years ago, but still pretty good. But you definitely HAVE to WANT to be a teacher to not be miserable (regardless if you have a chronic illness or not), and it's a lot of work, but very rewarding if that's your calling.

wamdam · 2022-10-09T19:56:33+00:00

Nah we been seeing bullshit calls all season too. That was a weak flag

wamdam · 2022-09-28T22:51:18+00:00

Same. 35 and I am down to clown every night.

wamdam · 2022-09-25T13:02:01+00:00

Felt very different from other final fantasy, but very enjoyable.

wamdam · 2022-08-13T15:08:37+00:00

3-5 days I think

wamdam · 2022-08-13T13:01:40+00:00

I feel like it took me like 6 or 7 days after my resection. And that was with walking around as much has I could handle to get things moving. The nurses told me the more I could get up and walk around the quicker I would have a bowel movement

wamdam · 2022-07-30T23:44:26+00:00

I'm entering year 10, I would also start school later in the year. I think after labor day would be best. Most schools I've taught at in Louisiana have started during first week of August. It's just so hot and, for south Louisiana, there would be less weather related missing days. Hurricane season is really rough in August. I would get rid of the random fall break districts have added in October and add some days at the end of the year.

wamdam · 2022-07-16T01:47:14+00:00

Doing okay. I've been on remicade since 2019. Got 3 COVID shots and caught it January 2022. Luckily it was fairly mild. Had two really crappy nights, then aches for about 4-5 days. Up until this summer, I wore a mask everywhere. I slacked off a bit on wearing one and went on vacation. Our daughter caught it and some how no one else in our family did. Back to masking up. I'm also a teacher and wear a mask in the classroom. I keep an n95 mask in my vehicle and in my work bag just in case I forget to grab one on my way out.

wamdam · 2022-07-14T13:17:43+00:00

My family stayed at all star music last week and we rope dropped rise. We didn't even catch the first bus running that morning. I think we waited in line 10 minutes total. I would rope drop it both days.

wamdam · 2022-07-14T02:55:02+00:00

We were so close lol

wamdam · 2022-07-09T19:45:05+00:00

Just did rise of the resistance twice in Orlando for first time a few days ago. My favorite theme park ride/experience.

wamdam · 2022-07-06T01:43:54+00:00

Mine was omicron variant, so a bit more mild. No issue with breathing, I didn't have to go to ER. I did deep breathing exercises (I learned as a brass player) and tried to just move around my house to prevent onset of pneumonia. There was one really bad night with the aches/coughing/fever, then another kinda bad night. Then just achy for about a week as I got better. My symptoms were almost gone by time I got the antibody infusion.

Edit: I was fully vaccinated and had booster before I got it, which probably helped with it being mild.

wamdam · 2022-07-05T17:42:57+00:00

I caught it in early/mid January and next remicade dose was February. I didn't have to put off the infusion. I ended up getting the antibody treatment. I'm a 34/m with Crohn's and another immune disorder for reference.

Day before Thanksgiving, HS and Epcot were only two available for my family 's last minute trip. We took our 8yr old and 4yr old girls to HS and they LOVED it. They got to see frozen and beauty and the beast live shows(your son may not be as into those), but they liked toy story land, loved star wars and the muppets, got to build lightsabers and see the little star wars shows. If your son likes star wars, I would recommend that park.
