"And then when it's time for them to go to the dentist, and I was going to include a little bit of that in here, but I think I'm going to save it for a different actual episode. But then when they need to go to the dentist, it's not going to be quite as scary because, you know, the teeth are going to be really, really healthy. So when it's time to prep and get ready for that and again in...

"It depends on the person and it depends on the damage and how much of it there is. Yeah. So it does depend on the cause of severity and how quickly also the treatment is initiated. Because if it's been going on for a long time and the liver's really damaged, you may not have as good of a shot as if it's just. They just figure it out right then and there. Right.

"I have had a lot of people ask me about my opinion about homeschooling and do I feel it's a good fit for children? Do I feel it's irresponsible? Oh my gosh, the questions have been literally insane. I recently had someone send me an article related to this. It's called unschooling. It is an option a lot of parents are taking and I did not know a whole heck of a lot about it other than I...

"As Memorial Day was officially established as a federal holiday in the United States in 1971. It is observed annually in the United States on the last Monday in May. So that's the brief history part. Now, I do want to point out I never came From a military family. I don't know anyone in my immediate family who was ever in the military. We were more on the education side of things. So as...

"Oh my goodness me, they have such limited time as it is and for them just be able to sit back, relax, take a 10 minute walk, or do whatever they need to do for their mental health. It's not possible for a lot of them. It's really not. It is so freaking crazy. So I want to put this out there for all of us and I am including me in this. I need to practice what I preach sometimes. Okay?"

"Would you like us to stop offering translation services during parent teacher conferences? Should we cancel bilingual support staff to avoid the appearance of quote, special treatment, end quote? Or would you prefer we just teach all content in English and hope for the best, since acknowledging linguistic barriers now counts as discrimination? And while we're at it, what's your official...

"Byproduct of brain activity. Some scientists propose that dreams are simply a result of the brain's electrical activity during sleep and don't necessarily serve a specific purpose. So from what I have read here, obviously there are different ideas, different theories, but again, they're not proven. You know, it's like someone says this, someone says this, someone says this, oy gevalt. W...

"And what I'm proud about my Hobbs is that even though he may not like it, obviously he doesn't bite people or scratch or hurt them or just make it a bad experience for human like. Hobbs will look at you and go, okay, not cool. But you can tell by the look. Anyway, it was just really cool because this was the cat, one of my four boys that is. Well, he was a feral kitten."

"Do you think there's a psychological component that somehow we just know that this is what our name means and this is what we're going to be? This is who we're going to be, this is how we're going to be formed? Does the universe play a part in this? I don't know. So I'm going to turn this over to you my dear listeners. I would love to hear what you think about this."

"Things do not form properly in your eye. And no, he is not faking it, people. Okay? And I want you all to know that blindness is a spectrum. And I've talked about this before. How it affects one person is how it affects that one person. A lot of people. And again, I'm generalizing here, but this is not always the rule. But a lot of people, even if they're derm."

"But in terms of real life heroes, yes, the special needs family and the community, to me, are the real superheroes. And they are people we can learn from on so many levels, so many ways, and they make such a positive impact in the world. And I really hope that as people really think about this, how they define the word hero, that they think about this and think completely about people i...

"And when I have ever taught anyone about the Holocaust or any atrocity to that matter relating to these concepts, I have always modified this. And I always let parents know beforehand. And they can even be in the classroom if they want, as long as they don't step in while I'm teaching. And if they have any issues, they can talk to my student, my student, teachers, or teaching aids, whic...

"But I'm going to go ahead and talk to you about private schools, especially because I want you all to understand this. And this does tie in to a lot of the regulations that are going on lately with the Trump administration and them trying to get rid of the Department of Education. Okay? And the fact that they're saying, oh, it's people's choice, private schools, blah, blah, blah, blah. ...

"So in order to basically me debunk what this man has said, because I have been a special education teacher, a veteran one, for 19 years, I have worked with this population. Now, I'm not autistic myself. I do not claim to know everything because I don't have that kind of humorous. Y'all. I just don't. But again, this makes me sick because the misinformation out there, it is not okay. All...

"Research suggests that strong social connections are linked to improve cardiovascular health, reduced blood pressure and a lower risk of premature death. Not too shabby, huh? Self awareness.

"All right, so like I said, y'all, I'm not trying to push my religious beliefs on anybody. Not cool. Again. I just think it's a really cool, fun holiday. And like a lot of holidays, especially in Judaism, they do revolve around food. This one does as well."

"To me, it has been such a place of quiet solitude, of just a place I go for self care on so many levels. And I was really bummed out when I learned that funding was cut for the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Wow, y'all, this just made me so sad. Libraries are so vital to everybody. Community on so, so many levels. I just. I was shocked when I heard this. I'm not gonna lie. Wo...
