Wheres Toto Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Happy Friday and ITT Anniversary! So I need help from all you people who are good with the words. I need to make a sign. I run four 8-week sessions of classes a year. Certain classes are typical full. I've been asking people toward the end of one session if they plan to return the next session so I can make sure they have a space (especially in classes where I limit it to 6 students). I have had to turn away students who were interested in those classes. I'm getting too big to just be able to casually ask people, so I want to make a sign asking people to let us know if they plan to continue and that unclaimed spaces will only be held to the end of the current session (which gives me one week between sessions for registrations). But I'm having trouble making it sound friendly and like I want to make sure they have a spot if they want it, but without being a paragraph long. Help? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Good Morning!!!} COFFEE!!!!!!~D It’s ITT’s Anniversary!!! Break out the caviar and champagne. Where’s Rocco and the Boys??? Music, dancing, expensive gifts for everyone. It’s also the Ides of March, so.... on the other hand...Beware!! And in other news..... It’s Friday here in sunny California. We will attempt to do school. Yesterday in Bible we learned that Samson killed 1,000 Fizzlelites with the jawbone of a donkey. And in junior high grammar, we learned the difference between “your” and “you’re”. “Your zipper is down.” As opposed to “You’re socially awkward.” But I guess we are learning something. DD has allergy shots today and this afternoon I am going with my mom to the plant store, which I definitely looking forward to. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) From the Anniversary Archives, 2017: On this fine morning in history, I stand before you all to say thank you. Thank you for being awesome elephant ninja chicks. Thank you for making me laugh at loud, or at least chuckle under my breath often. Thank you for being as close to sisters as one can have in a non-IRL relationship. You are all beautiful, sweet, smart, and wicked cool, and my life is better for having known you. I think sometimes today everyone should post their speech. And we need cupcakes. And champagne. (N/A for those who abstain, of course.) And SWB should definitely stop by...

Critterfixer Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Yay! ITT anniversary! Today, I sent off my novel to my agent for her approval or a stamp of try, try again. I'm half hoping for try, try again, but I really want to hear that I improved in between. That was hard work. It's such an intricate story with a complex plot that it's hard to take it all apart for revision every time. This next story should be easier. Much less complex. It has one plot line and a single subplot at present. For now, I'm just super tired and feel like I need a day in the woods somewhere quiet and peaceful. But I'm not sure if the weather and time will allow that for me. Might just have to tough it out until April. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt's job has changed our family's schedule and hopefully soon income bracket, moving to Texas instead of the Midwest is a huge lifestyle difference for me, especially considering the amount of time, or lack there of, that I will be spending with some of the most toxic and controlling people in my life. Also, we went to Disneyland which was not life-changing but something I always wanted to do and never thought we would be able to. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Chem lab didn't work again despite trying it multiple times. So we ended up giving up, reading through the entire thing, copying the table from the answer key (of expected measurements) and using those in the equations. 90% of the labs have worked so I guess that I shouldn't gripe but I always hate it when the chemicals/ solutions refuse to cooperate. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since the amounts are premeasured, we don't have unlimited amounts to try over and over again. And since we got it all as part of a kit from the publisher, we didn't package the chemicals.

Critterfixer Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I was going to rest this weekend. Nope. I have to put together a synopsis for this story (done, just have to send a few different ones to see which one will be best for the length) and put together a synopsis for the sequel to go with the submission package, and tweak my bio to include the published poems from the end of last year.

It will be below freezing for the next couple nights, but they have cold weather gear and those nifty hand warmer things. I have another wedding tomorrow, most likely sans the drama of last weekend. I made 5 eye doctor appointments today - in April and May. Some of us are rather overdue.

Sometimes things just don't work. I have cabbage indicator that turns clear. I haven't been able to find any situation when cabbage indicator is supposed to be clear. All the charts say neutral is bluish/purple. I also have a blood typing kit that the samples are no longer reacting with any of the indicators.
