Is this normal? How can I talk to him about it?

We are dealing with his 3yo sister in final stages of hospice and he missed 4 days in early September to travel with us to St. Jude. There is a lot going on, this also being the first year he's in school.

We've brought it up with his teacher, she is aware of basics of what is happening. Sort of related, I am diagnosed ADHD and was medicated for basically all of my school years. We strongly suspect he is too but I am extremely reluctant to medicate him.

He did not go to daycare or Pre-K and is struggling behaviorally. But my main concern, irrationally, is that we've noticed he's been seated separately, allegedly to minimize disruptions. I'm not really surprised, just concerned.

He's also been asked to leave carpet time and has been separated from others at lunch. We've gotten notes from P.E. teachers twice now that he had bad days where he didn't listen or was running through the gym. He usually comes home with a green sticker, but maybe once a week he sheepishly reveals a yellow sticker.

I realize he is exhibiting some signs of adjustment, maybe even behavioral issues, but is it the norm to separate a child like this in a classroom? There are about 20 other kids in his class. Initially, he was sat with other, but moved after the first week or so.

Anyone have any thoughts? How do I talk to him about it?

I know I have a lot to address but my wife is considering pulling him out of school entirely for the rest of the year, which is legal in my state, apparently largely due to the fact he is seated by himself throughout the day

Opening statement about how much I used to enjoy BGs and how long I have played the game, with a bit about the ups and downs I have experienced in past patches throughout my career as a die-hard, high MMR Hearthstone Battlegrounds player (I have played casually at 4k MMR for 2 years)

Overgeneralization of problems with the update, based on my own personal anecdotes and experience with the game. (I was not here for the release of undead)

Obvious balance issues a child could point out, and a general complaint about issues that basically amount to a lack of intuitive gameplay and a surplus of decision making

Personal attack on the intelligence and general moral character of Team 5 and a subtle implication that I would not have made such obvious mistakes given the same circumstances

A general forswearing of all further personal Battlegrounds gameplay and a general hope that things will "get better"

Looking at buying LLs for HWS tomorrow. Most of my group is under 40" but the other half wants to ride Rockin' Rollercoaster.

Can I buy LLs for party members for one big ride and then another set of LLs with for a different big ride?

50/50 Runaway Railway and Rocking Rollercoaster with the other rides being the same?

If I buy another set of LLs, will they simply add them to the first set I've purchased and not give me the option to choose a different ride/set of rides?

We went in April and basically had the whole thing handed to us on a silver platter. We've booked a last-minute package (we booked it last night) at the Caribbean Beach Resort for this upcoming Saturday to Saturday, dining plan with 4 single park tickets. Is it too late to aim for decent dining reservations?

Any advice for someone who has done it before but only as a Wish family? Does anyone know if we can we use the Wish lounges? We completely missed them the first time and forgot they existed

Edit: it'll be 31M 29F 65F 3F 5M, we don't really have any special interests past the princesses

Would it be possible to get a dining plan & tickets etc for something so soon, even if it is a confirmed reservation?

I know it's hot but my god. Do you guys say something when someone gets in or out? I had a woman who was literally making me feel sick last night, food and cigarettes and straight BO.

Say something? Just wait for cooler temps?

"Journey before destination" has been littered throughout the entire series, it's a main plot point. Sanderson has been subtley hinting this whole time that he has absolutely no idea where any of this is going

It's the greatest foreshadowing of our generation. The ending is going to be a cold mouthful of ash and grit in terms of quality

I guess the real Stormlight Archives were the friends we made along the way

I feel like an explanation is necessary because people do downvote these type of things but I genuinely can't wait or save up.

We did my 3yo daughter's Make a Wish trip to Disney in late April. It was an experience. We had spent the last two months living in a Ronald McDonald house in Memphis while she was receiving treatment at St. Jude's. Prior to this, she spent the month of January in the PICU after shit hit the fan. From totally normal to insanity.

We were not ready for Disney. Mentally, physically, culinarily, all the -ly's. We had been home for a whole day when we got word she had been scheduled for Disney next week. They had asked us for dates when we wanted to go but told us it was ultimately up to her medical team, and apparently the time was then. We met with our sponsor, a wonderful woman, and off we went.

To say that it was one of the most exhausting, amazing things we've ever experienced is an understatement. No words, not even gunna try. I hope to God none of you ever have a reason to experience a Make a Wish trip, but for fucks sake if this nightmare is good for anything it's those Super Lightning Lane passes.

We did 5 theme parks in 5 days and I don't regret it, but we were in full fight or flight the entire time and were crying in the bathrooms and hotel rooms at night. It was just fucked.

Anyway, it's all she's been talking about since. My wife, her 5yo brother, and honestly me too, want to go back and give it another shot. I think ultimately it's a good sign that we did well for them, but I am not really thrilled at the idea of returning. I'm just afraid I won't get another try.

While we have basically obliterated our savings dealing with all of this (I haven't worked full time since January and my wife is a SAHM) I am starting to get more and more desperate to try again because symptoms seem to be slowly progressing again and I believe our time to be limited. We had a recent stay in the PICU where we brought her in for observation but after a CT and MRI she was cleared until August. Obviously we will involve her medical team on the trip.

So, please. Any advice? I live in South Alabama, I'm thinking I can make this drive in a day, and I'm going to just go get a hotel and tickets and send it on the credit cards one more time. Not sure it will be better mentally but hopefully she'll have a good time. I've been thinking "Wait until September when it's cooler" but I genuinely don't think we have that much time. She has DIPG and prognosis is generally 6-9mo

What's the cheapest way I can do this? Is a travel agent best? Who's got the cheapest tickets? Should I get a Disney card and use an introductory offer? Is it worth going for the cheapest value resorts to stay onsite and be connected via Skyliner or will I not regret a random Econolodge? I'm not opposed to just dropping everything and going next week

I absolutely did not touch anyone. I barely make eye contact with people. I just got an email saying my account is on hold and a call from support to ask for my side of things. They wouldn't tell me the rider's name, gender, or the time of day it happened, only that it was yesterday. I don't know what to do. I've only been driving Lyft for like 5 days.

What's going to happen? The guy sounded sympathetic on the phone but like the decision had already been made.

Help?

How important is weight in regard to improving endurance/speed, and when considering running as a viable exercise?

I have lost about 70lb/30kg over the last 8mo. I started a C25K program at that time and have been bouncing around repeating weeks, taking weeks off etc alongside a much more serious commitment to a dumbbell routine, intermittent fasting and maintaining a caloric deficit with focus on protein/fiber. I can now run pretty much indefinitely if I keep the pace slow and steady, whereas when I started I was struggling to run for 1min, 2min, 5min at any pace.

How much of it is simply weight loss? So many months of painful effort and small injuries/stress. Should I have simply waited to get lighter?

For reference I started approximately 300lb/136kg and am now 235lb/106kg and the issue was never my lungs/heart but my ability for my legs to keep up with my desire to keep moving.

I feel like my body has just now caught up to my desire to run, but it's not really because of my conditioning. I may have simply lost weight and made it so I wasn't as hard to run or be at such a high risk for injury

I'm thinking it's either Pensacola or New Orleans. Anyone make the trip and have a bit of knowledge to drop? Flying in to pick up a car and drive it home.

I've been using a C25K app for intervals and like to listen audible when I run. I've been doing it for about 6 months with my phone bouncing along in my pocket, falling out once a run. I realized I could put an interval app and Audible on my watch and connect them to my headphones. Honestly, the difference is night and day. I feel like the real deal now, not worrying about my phone or holding it in my hand half the time 😎
