[Is there a song with your name in it?]

I know of two with my name, Rebel Rebel and Rebel Yell.  Yes, my given first name is actually Rebel.

[~~~~~ Where are you traveling in 2024? ~~~~~~~]

I went to Traverse City, Michigan over Spring Break.

New Jersey in a couple of weeks - with friends

San Francisco & Mendocino Woodlands mid-June - with my 6 year old granddaughter for a conference/adult summer camp

Traverse City, Michigan - last week of June and over July 4th - road trip with my dog

Traverse City, Michigan - end of July and first part of August - flying with my granddaughter

Aruba mid September - with friends

I think that is it for now. I should note that I have close friends who are basically family in Traverse City so don't have to pay for lodging or much food there.

Oh shoot! I ordered before reading this far. You have more socks coming...

[SIL getting my son job ads… he’s 12]

You can block numbers from the phone itself without access to the account. Can you just tell SIL that you prefer she not text your son about his future career options?

Yeah, he asked if I wanted him to say something, but I said not this time. I’ll say what I have to say. He kind of stood there for a long time, but then walked away. I did let him see it before I sent it, but when I handed it to him I said this is just so you know what I said, I’m not asking for editing. His response was well, this sounds restrained. Guess I’ve lost him getting a ride two days a week…

Sje hasn’t responded to me or dh. I figure she probably sent the text then went to bed. Guess she’ll see it in the morning 

OMG!! She is such a *itch!!!

[Fun ideas for wedding favors?]

I got a small tote bag as a wedding favor once. I used it for years.

Not sure where you are, but apparently your info is being seen in the data too.  So you are onto something.

I am in central Texas.

[Omicron anecdata?]

I know more people right now who currently have Covid than I have at any other time during the pandemic. In addition to several friends, family, and students, I also have it along with my son, daughter-in-law, and both granddaughters.

[An entire year]

Thank you for sharing.

[Thanks!]

Praying for you and your family.

[Christmas Eve at my moms]

When I saw the title of this thread, I could hardly wait to read what happened. I hate that you and your family have to deal with this misery, but the retelling is hilarious.

['Hobbes' graduated]

Congratulations!!

[Updates 2023 (job hunt etc)]

I love your new place and so relieved that things are finally coming together for you!

[Shopping cart behavior]

That is bizarre behavior from the lady who took your cart.  Did anyone else see the title of the thread and think  we were about to revive the shopping cart return or not kerfluffle?

[Instant off putting ?]

I have been called all of those terms of endearment by other women that are strangers, but I live in the south. It does not bother me.

[What to do with this pot?]

I have one like this that I use to burn incense cones.

[Want to play a different forum game?]

This is a tough one, because they were both amazing! I'm going with Carol Burnett.

[I got my dream job]

Congrats!

[Help me guess what the biology teacher is looking for?]

I'm a full-time college biology professor at and my guess is the teacher is looking for something they specifically discussed in class. In my opinion, the question is worded oddly. Regulation of what? The plasma membrane helps maintain homeostasis within the cell and to an extent outside the cell. It does this through a variety of protein receptors located within or on the cell membrane. Another factor of the cell membrane she might want to mention is the resting membrane potential. When a stimulus such as a molecule binding to a receptor causes a chemically gated protein channel to open allowing an ion to enter due to a concentration gradient, it can trigger a change in membrane potential. I can go on and provide specific examples, but maybe this is enough to get your daughter thinking of something the teacher might have mentioned.

Kelly Clarkson for me!

[CV vs Resume]

I always thought a CV was for jobs in academia. My CV looks very different in style and what is included compared to my non-academic resume.

[Am in rehab]

Glad to hear things are progressing and you are closer to getting home!

[Can you take my daughter's quiz (and report the score back here)?]

70/100 - didn't know 2 of them and missed the first question because I did not realize I was answering when I clicked. I thought there was a click and then submit routine going to happen.

[Just found a small scorpion in my garage. . .]

I despise scorpions, because unfortunately, I AM allergic to them and have an epi-pen for future stings.
