adding my prayers for you all.

ha, brings back memories of 10th grade World History- public school. My teacher was either retiring the end of that year or the next and had no more cares to give. We watched Shogun in class for weeks and ordered pizza a few times a week for a "pizza party" -just not enough times to gain notice from the office. 🤣. We watched something else too, but can't remember at the moment what it was.

wow, what a neat blessing! I'm praying it all goes well for you.

oh my goodness! thank you for sharing, I laughed so hard my stomach hurts and tears were streaming down my face!

the prescription transderm scop patches have changed my life, I can't travel well without them. My motion sickness is getting worse as I age, I now mostly have to drive a car myself, sometimes I'm ok in the front passenger seat. I was first prescribed them when I was pregnant with my youngest kid, 21 years ago- for a cruise and it was life-changing. I was only hoping to survive the cruise without throwing up all the time, but I was able to thoroughly enjoy it and was able to read while on a plane and boat! They are strong, I can't wear them the whole 3 days, but I usually wear one 24 hrs of a trip and then again on the way home. The natural things did not work for me, I tried. And dramimine helped a bit, but not totally, I still could not read while on a moving vehicle and had to concentrate on not getting sick, and it would nock me out.

prayers and good wishes to you all.

Whoever posted the lit shirts, I loved them! I bought the "Bennents" crossing the road like the beatles -shirt as a gift. 🙂 here are a couple of gift ideas: Bird Buddy camera bird feeder- I have one and love it! It texts me when I have a visitor! on sale right now. Wooden watch that can be engraved on the back -Etsy (bought one for dh for his birthday, he loved it!) Tibetan cloth prayer flags, really pretty and nicer that the ones you usually see around this is my sister-in-law's store: Ink & Arrow Jack & Tollers Tee for the C.S. Lewis fan Orange Packing House Candle - my husband made the candle inside and his grandmother is on the photo on the front! I think there are a limited number available right now. (yes my husband makes scented candles, he learned in defense of being appalled at how much the candles I buy cost...now I buy one once in a while and he refills them! Victorian guide to time-travel print Jane Austin of the 80's sticker. cute idea my S-I-L had of historical figures in the 1980s.

congrats!

I'd like your venmo or paypal info, too. Pm me, please.

hoping for a great job for you! -just my experience, for what it is worth, but I was working at a preschool as a teacher's aid, and I got on very well with a boy on the spectrum who was there for half day, then was bussed to another care site where he got more aid- so at one point the director asked me to work with him as his special aid, and while I loved him to bits and thought he was a special kid, it became really stressful. I was responsible to keep him safe, and to keep other kids safe from him, and for re-directing him. It was stressful and physical and I'm just saying that while the RBT jobs tend to list a higher rate, I think the would be very high on burn-out unless you really felt called to it. Anyways, I'm thinking of you and thinking good thoughts.

congrats! How exciting!!

congratulations! I am so happy for you! As far as crime, maybe looks at some suburbs just outside of NOLA? I have friends who live in Chalmette (Sp?) and work in Violet. I don't know if that would be too far for your job location (s) .

speaking of books, I just read "Perilous Pottery" The Cozy Corgi Mysteries bk11 by Mildrid Abbott and it has a pottery store in it. 🙂 It's a fun series if your library has it.

yeah, we all know none of it works anymore. We buy the 30mg over the counter and hand over our I.D....or buy the 10mg and swallow3-6 at a time! Also the cold medicines don't work anymore, you have to take it all separately now...a sudafed, bendedril and pain reliever all separate. It is so infuriating. 😞 We used to reserve niquil for the baddest colds at bedtime, but now it's a waste of money.

yikes, 60/100

She passed away, but I did give it to her every year. I got it at a fancy pet store, they had different strengths.

I used CBD oil for my labradoodle who was very, very afraid of fireworks. It did help a lot, it didn't make her ok with it all, but her terror was downsized very much and was more manageable. I started her on it a week before the 4th to get her used to it.

I really like these, they have good ingredients and taste pretty good. https://www.amazon.com/Electrolyte-Hydration-Developed-Artificial-Ingredients/dp/B084HQ4DYQ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1ZLISZNPX68MD&keywords=element+electrolytes&qid=1692132073&sprefix=eleme%2Caps%2C351&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 -LMNT electrolyte at amazon.

could you claim your photo being used is copyright infringement? -this might make them move on it.

have you looked at Edjoin site? It has listings of educational jobs, but they are not all teaching. There are some interesting jobs like office, lunch person, other things you might not have thought of, and they list the needed qualifications. this was helpful to me when I was ending my homeschool run and was considering my next move...I was able to go get the certificates needed for the position I was interested in. The site lets you search by area/region.

I was looking to try Clean People laundry detergent, and I guess FB was listening, because I got an ad for a prime deal on it. You have to go to the Clean People site directly and then they have a coupon for free dryer sheets with purchase. There was free shipping too, that was nice.

I am so sorry for your loss. 😪

yes, one time, my parents, who watched the kids if we went away on a trip, and also had them overnight every Wednesday when they were small...once told me, concernedly, that my kids said they "never to do school work" at home. I replied back, something like, "Funny, the kids tell me that all they do at your house is watch t.v."...which I knew wasn't remotely true, when my kids told me this, my parents did a lot of outside stuff with them. My parents digested this and didn't bring it up again. 😆

oh no. I'm so sad, I used to read her a long time ago. Her poor girls 😞

we didn't use raw, but switched to "Just food for cats" ( the company is "Just food for dogs") and it is frozen. we would cut it in half and defrost 1/2 to use for several days for 1 cat. Our cat was 17 and had kidney disease and was throwing up anything else we fed him, this seemed to sit right with him.
