  1. Now I'm feeling guilty.

     

    I was asked to teach the kindergarten/first grade and VBS this year. I never volunteer to teach because I teach all the time at home. I volunteered for crafts, refreshments, and clean up. I know that they are having trouble getting the classes covered. I know that's why they asked. But I just don't want to. Plus it's my youngest dd's class. We need a break from each other at VBS.

     

    Please tell me I did the right thing.

  2. We had a bill collector calling multiple times a day about some random person. The conversation would go

     

    Me: Hello

     

    Bill Collector: I need to speak with Mr. XYZ about such and such account.

     

    Me: You have the wrong number. This is the ABC residence.

     

    Bill Collector: Click.

     

    Repeat 2 hours later all.day.long.

     

    Finally I managed to get in "Do not call this number again. Mr. XYZ does not live here."

     

    Ma'am, only Mr. XYZ can request to not be called again. You do not have that authority. Click. :confused::cursing::banghead:

     

    We got caller ID shortly after that incident.

  3. Let's see if I can remember. It's been a couple of years since I read them. There's quite a bit of communication between ancestral cat spirits and the living cats. They go to the moon rock to receive visions. In later series (3rd or 4th) there begins to be psychic connections between cats in the present and cats in the past. There's lots of tragedy, fights, love, hate, feuds, journeys, and quests.

     

    My dd read the first 3 series, but she decided that the books were getting too weird.

  4. Thanks. I've spent hours looking at various models on-line. They all seem too complicated for fil. He's 84 and learning to cope with limited mobility and blindness has left him very depressed. He cannot read Braille or deal with small buttons or even multiple buttons. He had to get a new remote control for his TV and couldn't figure it out. We got one with the large buttons and raised numbers and it was still difficult for him. My dh had to spend a long time helping him feel for the on/off and channel up.
