I find it unprofessional and would be annoyed.

55 here in central Texas.

I'm in central Texas. This week is a bit better as our heat indices are around 109 instead of the 118 of last week.

I can tell you what NOT to do. Do not snip it off with a pair of clippers. Don't ask me how I know...

I'm so sorry you and your dh are going through this yet again.

I love when you post stuff like this! How exciting!

I am so sorry for your loss. ((hugs))

I am so sorry you are dealing with such petty people, Dawn. I just had a professor rant at me by email about being marked down on their faculty evaluation for not fully completing required professional development. She says the whole system is ridiculous and needs to change, but this is a college-wide system that we as department chairs have no control over.

I was hoping for a resolution for you. On the bright side, an office with a window next year and school is almost out for this year!

I live in the path of totality for about 3 and a half minutes. I am also somewhat rural so will be watching from my yard. I hope it is a clear day!

It does not look like something I would enjoy.

If you were one of my current students asking my opinion, I would tell you to take a manageable number of courses. At the college where I teach, manageable number will vary by the specific course and the time frame offered. Most of our summer courses are 8 weeks, but we also have a few 5 week and 10 week options. If a student wants to take Anatomy & Physiology II and Microbiology at the same time, I advise against it in a normal 16 week term, but strongly advise against it in a single summer term, but if a student wants to take a hard course with one traditionally thought of as easy, then sure. Just my 2 cents from faculty who is also trying to cut back on the number of courses I teach, because this semester has been very stressful.

He is precious! Congrats!

I am so sorry for your loss.

I don't recall doing any of this, but that was also a very long time ago. The only specific math activities I remember are those pages with 100 simple addition/subtraction/multiplication/division problems and the teacher having us competing against each other to see how quickly we could get all 100 done and correct.

You definitely need to see a doctor. Anything that has lasted 8 weeks needs to be checked by a professional.

I am sorry for the loss.

I never would have guessed lab! I was guessing part malamute for sure, but thought there would be some GSD there as well. As someone said earlier, genetics are weird.

Also, I don't have anything in his pictures for scale, but he is a big boy at 80 pounds.

I was VERY surprised! The vet had him listed as a rottie mix and they thought he had shar pei in him due to his head wrinkles which were more pronounced when he was a puppy. They also put a note in his file that his face just looks like he was stung by a bee and swelling up, but that is just his big 'ol goofy head. I got him from a rescue when he was 5 months and he is almost 2 1/2 now. Personality-wise, he is skittish around new people, especially men, but is super sweet once he knows you. He is a couch potato, but loves to play with other dogs so he goes to the dog park or dog daycare regularly. He does not have a prey drive, thank goodness, and happily hangs out with the chickens.

Here is my furbaby and his Embark DNA results. 35.2% American Pit Bull Terrier 14.8% German Shepherd Dog 13.9% Rottweiler 13.7% Australian Shepherd 7.5% Border Collie 7.5% Doberman Pinscher 7.4% Siberian Husky

I have been listening to it via Audible in my free time so only just now getting to part 3 where Markle enters the scene. My take so far is that yes, he does sometimes come off a bit whiney, but on the whole, the book is an honest account of Harry's perceptions of events and his emotional state at the time. Does he occasionally sound like a 14 year old boy retelling a story or complaining about his older brother? Yes, he sometimes does, but that however, is not the majority of the book (as far as I have read). My suggestion for those who are cherry-picking snippets to complain about it is to read the damn book. All the griping about the kill number would lessen if people actually read how that subject is treated. He even makes a point to explain why he includes it.

I am sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself during this time of grieving.

I did not take classes at the CC where I teach and don't know of anyone in our department who has done so. There is really no need. I applied for an adjunct position and then when full-time positions opened up, I applied for them.
