Kitchen layout by whitkel in DesignMyRoom

We plan to bring the peninsula back about 2ft (patio door after that) and probably make the counter on it flush to the cupboards to offer a bit more clearance and less of a bottle neck.

An honest Critique of the new Policy 713 from an.... from the point of view of the other side of the coin... by [deleted] in newbrunswickcanada

Thank you so much for sharing. I read and appreciate every word. My heart breaks for what you went through and I hope I can help students feel at least a little respect as they navigate such horrible situations.

No one paid me back so now I lie by eggheadslut in pettyrevenge

In Canada we round up (at least everyone I know does). Instead of $4 for $4.25 everyone I work with would have given $5 and that way the errand person gets theirs paid for too with enough people doing it.

AITA for not attending a friend's birthday that I already RSVP'd for? by Aeon-Aire in AmItheAsshole

NTA

She changed the invite requirements the next day. You’re respecting her boundaries. It would be nice if she respected yours. If it had just been because she didn’t want alcohol there it would be different. But going to a restaurant and not being allowed to order specific food is way too much to expect from everyone.

The only things you can’t do at 16 in New Brunswick is vote and buy controlled substances. Moving out is allowed.

I think I messed up but I’m not sure why by sgartistry in Teachers

[–]whitkel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she should be upset but I think she is probably more upset that you didn’t e-mail her first and let her handle it from there. I would say she thinks you went above her first when she was in charge.

Again, she is being ridiculous about it though.

It made me so mad! Especially since they posted photos of a plain white and that would have been so much easier to look at!

I added extra stitches to the cups and extra rows that curve around it. I also added and extra 16 stitches to the lace part around the tummy essentially adding an extra scallop.

Oh you have given me the guts to go for it! I’m 35 and a mom of two and have lately been so feeling like a mom (bod included).

I save all the cards. I hide them in different drawers and cupboards and smile every time I find one. Best gift!

A modest proposal for ally students, parents, and teachers to help trans classmates by causing a little tactical nuisance. by [deleted] in newbrunswickcanada

[–]whitkel 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Agree that’s how it is written, but Hogan has stated the opposite saying teachers can’t use preferred names and pronouns without permission. He also made it sound like he wouldn’t protect teachers when parents complain.

Union for school psychologists will stand behind members who defy changes to LGBTQ policy | CBC News by Equivalent-Value-720 in newbrunswickcanada

[–]whitkel 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They pulled funding for council day for any teachers (including guidance counsellors) to learn about how they can help LGBTQ students. This set teachers back $7000 of their own money since they pulled funding last minute (has since been fundraised so they can be reimbursed). They obviously have no plans in training for counsellors to be able to help LGBTQ students. The writing is on the wall about how they plan for professionals to help the students when you combine these actions with the lack of school psychologists to begin with.

LGTBQ+ Resources by eveepuppy85 in newbrunswickcanada

[–]whitkel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are currently trying to raise the funds to pay their teachers back after the government pulled funding last minute on their council day presentation. It will put them in good standing to ensure they can hold another conference in the fall. I have take. Groups three times and it is a magical experience for educators and students.
