Jean in Newcastle Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Day 30 loop with Juliet. Day 28 was a month for those with a grace mindset (or maybe just a math mindset). This is a month for the Legalists. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Back from church. I got out in charge of the preschool/kinder group. Usually I just do music and story time with them, but tonight I was in charge all night because the normal in-charge people were gone. It went well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianthus Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 The problem with group texts is someone always texts too late at night. Then a bunch of other people start responding. For me, this is either from a sports team or a homeschool playgroup. So 15 people start chiming in. And they just keep texting things like "ok". They do it in the day also but it's 1,000x more annoying when I'm in bed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I do this too, but that woman from our old church starts a new one for every subject, so sometimes there would be two or three new ones in a day. And Matt left for work at 4:45 and the kids were little so I went to bed at 8 every night and she'd text until 10 or 11. She absolutely did not respect my requests to stop. I started calling her out by replying to the texts "(name), I've asked you multiple times not to involve me in these group texts. You know you're waking me up and you know this raises my pain levels the following day as I've explained it multiple times. Please start another text without me." It still took months and I think church members higher in the hierarchy made her stop. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 The only group text that I have set up only has people who have requested to be on it. No hard feelings etc towards anyone who doesn’t want to be on it. Some people “lurk” on the group text but (as far as I know) still want to be included. Or they could have easily blocked the text on their phone. My siblings have a group text. That’s been so handy. We have a smaller group text for a couple of my siblings that are more chatty and text savvy for more frivolous daily interactions. I have a mental list of how different friends and acquaintances like to communicate. Some are text only. Some are email only. Some are phone calls only. Some might be FB only but since I am not on FB I wouldn’t know about them. Some are all-of-the-above. Things have gotten complicated! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made plastics, after talking about pollution, polymers and plastics. Little kids made sodium alginate spherification, while the older kids cooked up bioplastics with vegetable glycerin and various starches. Two classes today, then a mostly relaxing weekend mainly just driving ds too and from work. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
