Jean in Newcastle Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I'm poor. All you need is a shovel. ;) But since my killing is of a virtual world with virtual people, I think Slache is safe. Except. . . .I've only talked to her in a virtual setting. . . so maybe?. . . . (And yes, I'm talking about you in front of you.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Better yet, build yourself an underground bunker. You'll be all set. Oh, that is such a fantabulous idea! And it would so nicely house my bazooka... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Maybe if you took them outside and hosed them down it would solve both the bathing problem and the attitude problem? Kidding. Sort of... But I'm sorry you yell. I do too. No, it would not. I have tried that (on a sunny day of course). They love novelty, which makes it extremely difficult to improve my discipline tactics, because they will do it for kicks, then stop. Of course I try not to yell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I've been cut from the team. Dh and kids got locked INTO the park while hiking. (Who locks up at 3:45?? With no signs posted?? And without checking the parking lot?? I'm thinking it was Halloween problem prevention.) All of which means that there isn't time for them to pick me up on the way to Family Fun Night. The good news: I can keep wrestling furniture and books into and out of the crawlspace. The bad news: I get to keep wrestling furniture and books into and out of the crawlspace. Plus dd6 is very sad that I'm not going. :crying: ETA: They did, of course, get unlocked.... police finally came. I left that little detail out. :lol: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this teaching gig is above my pay grade! I have to figure out a way to take four different manuals and condense them into easily accessible material for a class of varied abilities in only one hour. I have decided to spend the better part of an hour on thesis statements and helping the students understand the difference between summary and analysis. This week builds over four weeks with the culmination of a literary analysis essay of four paragraphs over TKaM. Some of my poor students will be lost as geese. Even for the super sharp ones, this will be a challenge. After working on it most of the day off and on, I am partially through planning one hour of class. What is TKaM?

KrissiK Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Why, hello there! You've been missed. Congrats on knitting. I crochet. I tried knitting, once, and it didn't turn out so well. I also started my hand at Tunisian crochet. I'll be picking it back up once a graduate (one more week!).Thanks! I crochet, too! But my friend got me hooked in knitting, so I thought I'd try my hand at it! And it's a good activity to do during all the soccer practices/games and volleyball practices/games I've been attending in recent weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
