"But at the same point, I do like it because they're not a lot of Leanne's out there. Now, this show is with comedian Leanne Morgan, who is a little bit older than me, but she's also blonde. Yay. And she's a Leanne, so. Yahoo. You know, so that always made me really happy and I just, I just wanted to talk about it. That's it."

"Hey, y', all, and welcome to another edition of at the Miss Leanne. I want to talk to y' all today about something that is really not talked about a whole heck of a lot. And I did not know a lot about it myself until I became a teacher and I worked in my local school district. And sadly enough, I never even really thought about this. And this really came into play for me when I had one ...

"And I'll explain what I mean in a second. So, okay, diabetes mellitus, that involves issues with blood sugar, glucose regulation. Now, the other kind of diabetes I did not know anything about, first time I heard of it, is called diabetes insipidus. Now, that condition, although it does share the name with diabetes mellitus, in terms of diabetes, it affects the kidneys and their ability ...

"At first, she wasn't concerned because the camp director had warned parents that the drive could be rough. But after 30 minutes of bouncing along isolated back roads with the camp still eight miles away, Laird realized they were dangerously off course. Trying to retrace her steps only made matters worse. Every turn and new road only created confusion in the maze of dirt paths."

"So technically, in terms of speech, so speech is the physical production of sounds using your vocal organs, such as your diaphra lips, your jaw, having to worry about the airflow. Okay. Your voice, basically, your voice quality and how fluent you make it. All right? Those are all parts of speech, as opposed to someone who doesn't have fluent speech when they stutter or stammer. Now, lan...

"Yes, you can enhance the flavor of something with salt. That's pretty obvious. But there's other ones at least I didn't know about. If you all know about it, great. But this is new for me. Okay, so adding salt to boiling water makes it boil at a higher temperature and that reduces the cooking time. It doesn't make the boil water faster, but whatever you put in the boiled water will cook...

"I think it will quash all these questions and all the controversy. But maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. So let's get into the history, a little bit of how the character of Superman even came into being. So Superman was created by two Jewish teenagers who lived in Ohio and went to the same high school. Their names were Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster. It was created. They created the charact...

"And that's just crucial for everyday activities, for life, really. And now let's think about writing in terms of creativity. Boy, oh boy, it just opens up worlds when you're able to handwrite. It helps people organize their ideas, which leads to more creative expression. It has therapeutic benefits. Some people, they have found when they write out their thoughts right, it can help sooth...

"All right, so another one I mentioned and I did a whole episode about this was Shannon Doherty. Her death. It's coming up, the anniversary, July 13th. She passed away from cancer. And it was just so, so heartbreaking. I listened to her podcast last year and her talking about getting ready for what was going to happen to her. Oh, God, that one nearly killed me. I was bawling during that ...

"But the actual meaning, again, of Independence Day and what it is, and I'm gonna talk about it briefly, along with reviewing information from my previous swell. Although it'd be a lot quicker from Monday when I went over how to have a safe holiday for you and your pets, your loved ones, anyone with special needs, sensory issues, etc. All right, so let's just briefly go over what Indepen...

"And of course, the big one, like I said, is their identification. Because a lot of pets, especially this time of year, do escape. Do get out without the proper id. And then the local animal shelters get really filled up with people's pets, and that can be really, really scary."

"Because a lot of the times I would not, you know, just sit there and let my students sit there and be bored out of their minds. Uh, that doesn't work. I would have them get up, we would do skits, they would make stuff up. Yeah, I definitely am a hundred percent about this. What makes me sad, though, is there are some people who are still stuck in their ways, right, about teaching."

"Do you think we should celebrate? Do you think we put too much emphasis on birthdays? Would love to get your thoughts and hear what you all think about this. I know this is a little bit shorter on my end, but y' all, man, this cold flu is freaking killing me, y' all. It really, really is. So I'm gonna wish you all the absolute very best on my special day today and another year around th...

"However, a one to one human level, and I've always stressed this in terms of working with my students and my special needs families, acceptance, they, you know, accepting their child, who they are, their life as it is now, everything they go through. And again, if you see them in the supermarket and child's crying, don't touch them because you don't know, you're only seeing a snapshot n...

"I know I'm going on a rant, but you'll see why in a minute. It just literally feels like the United States has become a plutocracy ruled by an authoritarian regime that doesn't really care about the rule of law and literally makes things up as they go. That's what it feels like here. And it's really sad, it's really depressing and it's weighing a lot of people's morale."

"Can you tell me the difference between like a magne in a charter, in a public and do they all have access to this and it's just a matter of a parent knowing how to go through the system or are there just places where this just does not exist? Because I know in her school that it does and I just don't know what other schools like this have that. Thanks."

"It completely tripped me out. So in terms of menopause, first of all, what is it? All right, so it is when you don't have your period for a year consecutively. All right, Things have stopped. Things have stopped producing. Okay, you. And this is usually due to a lack of a hormone called estrogen. And you start. You stop producing your eggs, all that lovely good stuff."

"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. It gets newly diagnosed. ...

"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...
