Susan in TN Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I don't remember: what instruments do you and your dc play? I play mostly violin, and a bit of cello, piano, and harp. My oldest plays double bass and piano, dd17 plays flute and sings, and some cello, dd13 plays violin, ds11 plays cello, dd9 plays violin, and dd7 plays nothing, but dd9 sometimes gives her "violin lessons". :D I am hoping she will want to take up the viola, since we don't have any violists. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 She sent an e-mail to the whole group saying she wouldn't be back because she only wants to dance and doesn't want to spend a nanosecond on Hawaiian culture or language or anything. If they are not interested in culture, I would suggest they enroll in a poopaerobics class. Though it would be a little insulting to real poopaerobics, which is full of culture and meaning. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It finally started snowing here (~9:00). The news reported that some in southern KY are without power because of ice pulling down power lines. But it looks like just snow here, thank goodness! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hula is Hawaiian culture and language. You can't separate them. It's like saying you want to learn Chinese but you don't want to learn the tones. You will be making sounds without meaning. So bizarre. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Wow. That was rude. That's what I thought. And I was surprised, because (1) she has some Hawaiian roots, and for Hawaiians, there is no separation between hula and Hawaiian history and language, and (2) she didn't seem like that kind of person at all. Maybe she didn't intend it to be, IDK, snarky or something, but it will be interesting to see who shows up today.

Renai Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm sitting in the dentist wait room. As I was leaving the house, I got to the car but went back to the house to get my purse.

Susan in TN Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 What is poop aerobics? Yes I separated them so my phone doesn't learn the word. It is JoJosMom's favorite form of exercise.

Maybe she didn't intend it to be, IDK, snarky or something, but it will be interesting to see who shows up today. Then from the beginning, it should have been called a dance class, and not hula thus insulting the culture. Of course you have no control over that part. Have you talked to the other participants and asked about expectations? Have you asked the former teacher why she picked you as successor and is now sabotaging your efforts? I'd be curious. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Openhearted Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It is snowing here. Since about 9ish. Lynn, glad you have power, and hope you continue to have it. Susan, glad you're getting snow. Ninja elaphants may be needed in Ellie's class. I hope it goes well today, and you have a good turn out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Ivy Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 YAY! We did eye drops 2 more times and no vomiting. Maybe it really was just a weird coincidence. She woke up today with her other eye "broken", so daddy is staying home this morning and I'll go home at 11:30. We haven't had a real snow this year. I'm missing it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you have no control over that part. Have you talked to the other participants and asked about expectations? Have you asked the former teacher why she picked you as successor and is now sabotaging your efforts? I'd be curious. One of the dancers, who was sort of a leader, wrote me a long email telling me what she thought. I respect her thoughts, and I'm tweaking the class as I go along, but I don't know how much I can dummy the class down. They only want to dance. Perhaps I should recommend a Hot Hula class, which is only dance. I'm not sure the former teacher realizes that she is sabotaging my efforts. She just thought it was, IDK, fair or something to let everyone know she isn't coming back and why. I don't know how much damage control I can do. We'll see how it goes today.

Junie Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) We're eating leftovers for lunch to use up the stuff in the fridge while the microwave still works. We have lots of bread/sandwich fixings. I cooked bacon so we can eat BLT's later. Made 2 dozen hard-boiled eggs. I also cooked some ground beef, but I don't know how that will help us when (if?) we lose power. Dd11 made some gf cheddar-garlic biscuits; she's planning to bake some gf banana bread after lunch. What am I missing? Edited January 22, 2016 by Junie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Junie--do you have a meal plan for the next three days? That's how long it usually took us to get the electrical grid back up. My kids go through a lot of snacks--so popcorn, granola bars/energy bites, in addition to fruit and veg. I load up the thermoses as well. They keep hot chocolate and soup steaming hot for 12 hours and warm for 18 hrs if you think electricity is going to go down soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Also, charge your electronics, download new books onto the kindle, get all of the batteries together with the flashlights, pull out the blankets, etc. It's all a lot less fun to do when you're doing it by a flashlight. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
