@Tinkeringbell if I accept the offer, I should arrive in Tibet by February or July. Yeah, learning different prayers, meditation, chanting - that'll be the new norm for me. Also required to do volunteer work, like teaching English :)
Yeah ... that was negotiated between them and me, just in case I don't want to bail on my current teaching offer here in New York - which starts next week ...
(... and ends in May ... )
the monastic living program starts up every six months ...
@CaptainBohemian sorry, I went to bed early last night and just read your messages ...
@D.Hutchinson I am reading the publication abstracts of a professor in cosmology. The group has open position. But I found the publications seem not to be much of my favor.
@D.Hutchinson they seem not to be as theoretical style I like. They seems to be the applications of fundamental theories.
so should I apply?
@D.Hutchinson The answer I want is usually not just a simply ''I see." I usually need answers including wise advice. I wouldn't ask others a simple question whose answer is so obvious.
@D.Hutchinson my question usually contains entangled contexts.
I have been through this question a lot of time as if i wait keep staring too long it keeps eating my time if i also sit relaxed and not curious and impatient (as we all can do it perfectly) about it then it may be that the answer-er may get bored or something (sometimes i take almost a day or tw...

My wife is a medical professional coming off a five year child raising hiatus. This is major change that affects her interpersonal relationships, as well as mine. What kinds of creative things might I do to support her return to the work force?
I think we're working on a test that will check for comments posted after that auto comment text is posted... that will tell us if it's effective or not and how many comments posted after it are still bad comments.
:D Also, remember if there's more than about half of the comments are bad on a long comment chain, feel free to use a custom flag on the post and ask us to review the comments... Saves you some flags and we're going to look at the entire post anyway.
@Catija I'm currently being notified whenever someone posts a comment after I - and only I - have left a comment including literally https://interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1644/31.
So far, I've gotten two - one by someone answering in the comments, the second you telling them off.
@Catija Because I kinda wanted to limit the amount of notifications I get :P. I've already got several bots pinging me and I often get notifications in the double digits... I'm trying to avoid getting too many.
@Mithrandir Well, I wasn't asking you to be notified... all I wanted was a spreadsheet with all of the times you've made that comment so that I could review whether there were additional comments posted afterward.
Downvotes are a really important part of moderation. Bad content needs to be signaled to others that it's bad by voting appropriately. Questions get free downvotes and answers require 1 rep but it's a small price to pay to show that posts are a bad fit for the site's policies.
BTW - request to the room: If anyone notices any pattern that commonly shows up in answers-in-comments, please tell me. E.g., if I were you is one that I've identified.
Oh, I see it all the time. I can try to find an example but I concur... "Not an answer but..." "not a full answer..." etc.
So... since there's a few of you here... right now, the only feedback I have on the Help Center page text is some upvotes, an answer from apaul and a couple of comments. Does anyone else have anything to say?
Should I interpret the upvotes as meaning "this is fine"... ? I know it's work but I'd really like to get this pulled together and I know it's not perfect... Monica's mentioned that it's too long when I've asked her about it... is there stuff missing? Is there stuff in it that's wrong?
We can change it as we go - that's not problematic - but some additional feedback would be awesome.
I attend a college in which I share a large study space with the rest of the college students. I have been wanting to introduce myself to one of the other students but I am unsure how to approach them for several reasons -

About five years ago my and my wife Laura got divorced - we kept it quite civil and even now our relationship is quite friendly. We also have a son, Steve currently 10 years old that spends 3 days a week with me.
My ex quite quickly remarried a guy, who always wanted kids, so both my son and him...
