Another Lynn Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Booyah (some of us spell it with an h and some without the h) is a celebration of getting the post at the top of the page. It is required. :) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Ivy Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I just got an email from my mom that my grandmother's aunt passed away. She was 95. I *think* I met her at a family reunion a long time ago; I certainly wasn't close to her. I just think that it's interesting how generations stack up sometimes. She was my children's great-great-great aunt! ETA: And it's a Booyah for my Aunt L.!!! I remember meeting a great or great-great aunt back when I was about 14 and my sister was around 4 or 5. We kept telling her that she'd be meeting her great-great aunt and uncle. After we left, she said, "Well, they were nice enough, but I don't understand why everyone thinks they're so great." :lol: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Ivy Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 We went to the allergist this morning. I tried not to cry as she screamed at the top of her lungs. :( (5 panels and 43 allergens.) Still allergic to egg and now we are allergic to all trees (except maple and cedar), all grass and weed (except fescue and marsh elder), and cat, dog, dust mites, and cockroaches (NASTY!). I think cat and dust mites were the worst. https://www.instagram.com/p/BC77ZU4TPq0/?taken-by=maryrenee She switched the allergy medicines dd was taking, so now we're on Flonase like you all suggested and Allegra. Now to figure out how to get her to do the Flonase. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Seriously though, booya is something I say in real life. If I get a good score on Tetris or John makes some sort of connection with school stuff I'll actually say booya. Back when the thread was young we used to race to the top of the page. At one point I said booya when I got the top post and it stuck. #noh 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 ((Mary)) ((Riverlyn)) Flonase has not been a big deal for any of my kids. They didn't get the "sniffing" thing until age 3 or so, but I think the squirting is enough. The first week is the worst--you just have to add it to the routine and she may comment that it stings or smells funny as her nasal tissue is probably quite inflamed. I usually teach my kids how to sniff (and they think it's funny), and then I tell them that I am going to squirt medicine in their nose, and then we are going to sniff together. Here's a link to some good coupons for flonase: http://www.goodrx.com/flonase?drug-name=flonase I usually just buy the 3pack at costco, but that's because I am lazy.

Susan in TN Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Renai is also in the no "h" booya camp and has aquired quite a bit of graphic proof as to her spelling interpretation.

Susan in TN Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 We had apple pie for breakfast since the ITT code states that pie is an acceptable breakfast food. (Please see posts a few hundred pages back from around Thanksgiving.) We had pumpkin pie for lunch. Dinner will be spaghetti and meatballs served in a pie dish with peach pie for dessert. I didn't make any of the pies myself. Because Monday. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetpea3829 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Lol, I would be curious to hear Ellie's explanation of the phonetic pronunciation of "booya(h)". Will it be ok if I spell it bui-yaaa?

texasmama Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Anyone going to celebrate Pi day? We have made a peanut butter pie, which is our usual. It is supposed to be 90F here today. :mellow: I feel your pain. 88 here. No. It doesn't make sense. If you're adding or subtracting, you pick this random number because it's Tuesday and you use its sign, unless the other number is green, then you use that one. I understand this. :lol: You have to go back and read the thread. I KNOW, RIGHT??? ((Mary)) ((Riverlyn)) Flonase has not been a big deal for any of my kids.

I want to make sure I don't upset the ITT Code! Speaking of, I had cheesecake (turtle) for breakfast/lunch. This is ok, non? It's practically pie... That is why I spell it booya(h). It is ecumenical. Also, we have atheists and heathens among us so there's that. Atheists and heathens (who don't make fun of Christians) are my favorite. I'm kind of a black sheep Christian. I love me some Jesus, but a lot of His people are cotton headed ninny muggins. Don't worry, I know that none of that made much sense. You will get used to that from me.

Southern Ivy Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 grrrreeeaaat. Just saw an email from a student. She says that my PITA student is screaming at the sub and another student. Her comment? "Yeah, I can tell we won't be getting a good report today. But, I'm being good, so yay me!" hahaha Of course, this student would do this when the principal and I are both gone. I'm ready to trade him out for a different model...or none at all. Just a refund. Very mean to say, but after last year's student and then this year's, I'm done with incredibly difficult, destroying my classroom, screaming in my face students.
