Lalalalala, I can't hear you. I checked our forecast, no snow but heavy rains when the temps are barely going to be above freezing (like 36 degrees) so that's actually worse in my opinion. Lots of black ice. Ugh. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still querying. Less depressed with the clouds and cool weather. In fact, I almost feel good enough to think about planning the winter term and planning a garden for next year. ? 27 minutes ago, KrissiK said: Critter, you checked in. I was just thinking about you and wondering how you were feeling and there you are and feeling better. Yay!! Me too! Probably because I was adding your snow poem to the archives. I believe you have contributed the most weather-related poetry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I made a faux pas a few days ago among complete strangers (inadvertently cut in line and didn't realize until later that there even was a line but it explained the look given to me by a lady), and my brain cannot seem to let it go. Where is Elsa when you need her?!? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Good Friday morning! I tutor today. I am a bit nervous about it. I am always nervous the first time I do something. I will do some placement testing in phonics. And she’s supposed to bring some things to read at her level. But I am a bit worried that I won’t have enough to fill up an hour. And I am worried that she will be bored. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) The other day at the library I was working on my message for the women’s ministry tomorrow. A tutor and her tutee were sitting behind me. The boy obviously didn’t like his tutor and I agreed (silently) with him! She was annoying me so much because she was asking him random things in spelling and was doing nothing to actually break it down for him so that he could learn from the experience. I have high standards in teaching. I was so relieved when I had to leave! Edited November 9, 2018 by Jean in Newcastle Spelling 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Quick survey: Are you familiar with and/or do you think you have ever heard this song before in any style or arrangement? (85yo MIL, a lifelong church pianist/organist, has been asked to play it at a funeral and is sure she has never heard it before in her life. And since music is generally one of the last things to leave your brain, I don't think we can assume it's old age. She tried to play her arrangement over the phone to dh and she had absolutely no clue how it was supposed to go.

KrissiK Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) I just got off the phone with my mom. The Camp Fire, which started yesterday and has already burned more than 70,000 acres and is 5% contained has destroyed the town of Paradise where her cousin lives. They are in their 80’s and got out with a few belongings and their pets. My brother and wife and daughter live in the next town and they are pretty certain their home is gone. They evacuated yesterday with a few belongings and their pets. I just don’t know what to do. I thought about calling the hotel where they live and offering to pay for a night or two. And this is a California is Burning Again Booya/h.? Edited November 9, 2018 by KrissiK 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
