Re: 10 Healthy Vegetarian Recipes For Teens

Katieshy — Mon, 20 Nov 2017 19:01:20 -0000

Hello! My teenaged son asked to learn to cook the other day and I would love to share this great article and recipe list with him. Unfortunately I believe that he might be turned off if he reads the intro, “Does your teen daughter crave vegetarian cuisine?” Would you consider editing to “does your teen...?” Thank you for considering, and for writing this wonderful article!

I'm inspired to think about social renewal and diversity in a broader context, and to look into how we can affect a change from this model of Westernization (new colonialism and slavery) to one of appreciation and honoring of the wisdom and knowledge in all cultures. I can't wait to explore information about the organizations and people, who are doing the good work of bringing awareness, shown in this film. Thank you!

Nah - it's not because of Blake. Not that I don't love Xtina, I just really enjoy Gwen as a coach.

While I agree that there are ways to stand up for yourself and get what you need in a workplace while also remaining well-liked, I have to disagree with most of this communication approach. Most of the suggested language here could easily come off as patronizing. You're never going to work in a place where there are other people around you and avoid dealing with people and their habits or style of communicating. I have found that a longer-term approach works best for things like a grouchy or disruptive co-worker, with a direct yet compassionate approach for a immediate concern if really necessary. When you're direct you're also transparent, and that's usually appreciated in the long run. Especially the suggested statement "I know that xyz, but...[insert clause that completely disregards the former acknowledgment.]" is a classic manipulation that says you really don't care about what you just mentioned. "You remind me of myself at your age..." This is similar to telling a distraught first-time parent with a baby who won't sleep more than 30 minutes at a time to "enjoy the time when they're little because it goes so fast." It belittles the person, disregards the situation or circumstance that they can not change, and it will not build respect or report with a young professional.

Re: Californias SB277 mandatory vaccination bill passes Senate committee after votes rigged, public testimony silenced

I thought the bill, as-written, mandates for children attending private schools as well--which effectively mandates home-schoolers since in CA, home-schoolers must register as an independent/private school. Anyone know if that language was changed? *off to find a copy of the bill*
