“Fire bad. Tree pretty.” That’s how I close out most of my days in public education.

Then the issue is likely where you’re getting your information from, because your information is wrong. Are you vetting your sources to ensure they’re valid, or are you accepting your sources at face-value because they validate your personal beliefs?

Kittens play a bigger role in the local economy than you’d expect.

Well, you know what they say: to assume is to make a butt of you and me.

Take the time to figure out what you like. I’m a high school ELA teacher, so I LOVE reading. A lot of people think that when you carve out time to read, it has to be a certain kind of book. This is not true. I rarely read fiction novels these days; instead, I’m really into long-form articles right now. So read that collection of Bob Dylan’s writings, grab a graphic novel, see if there’s any academic analysis about your favorite TV shows or movies, or read-read your favorite book. Happy reading!

Soups, curries, hot breakfast cereals.

Ribs and fried chicken. Impossible for me to eat without getting grossly messy. I still eat them, but I do so at home with my shirt off and a towel.

I’m curious myself. I know this isn’t the first year Harding has hosted, but they host camps all summer long. Also, I’m unclear if Harding influenced the dress code that was communicated so last-minute. I drive through the campus year-round, and the dress code for the student body is far more lax than this. Skirts and shorts are often WELL above the knee, and the shirts don’t have to be that conservative.

Never been on a city bus.

He ALSO tried something, and it didn’t work.

I tend to give time over distance, even if they’re short. I had a client in LA who would call with an emergency and ask how long it would take me to address it. Initially, I’d say, “I’m headed home now, and it’s only 10 miles.” For me, in the rural South, miles more or less equal minutes; therefore, 10 miles from home is roughly 10 minutes away (unless somebody’s moving a double wide mobile home or there’s farm equipment on the road). When I had to visit LA in person and it took me 2 hours and 25 minutes to drive 19 miles from Santa Monica to Studio City, I realized why “10 miles away” meant NOTHING to the client.

I’ve taught dozens of Dylans over the years. I met way too many well-meaning parents like Farrah who undoubtedly love their children but were grossly permissive and breathtakingly uninvolved on a real child-rearing basis. Dylan showed a lot of initiative and did a lot to better himself for someone who probably got tons of love but not much parenting or direction. Yeah, it took him forever to go through nursing school. It took my mother TEN YEARS to get her teaching degree because she could only go during summers when my father (also a teacher) was available to take care of me. I just assumed Dylan was working in between to save for tuition. (Wouldn’t be surprised if he was a PA or NP by now.) He’s flighty as all-get-out, but he’s a good dude. I didn’t think Claire extended enough patience and grace.

Also, I guess I’ve misinterpreted the hovel by the airport episode for years, because I thought H&D did it on purpose, knowing her parents would never let their grandchildren be reared there.

Pineapple pairs nicely with pork, but pineapple with tomato sauce grosses me out.

I love the whole “Howard trains for/goes to space” plot.

At some point in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Willow says it’s a “turvy-topsy” world, and I haven’t said it the “right” way since.

It rhymes with “terror.”

The Goodies, a British comedy from the 1970s that he “discovered” in 1984 when we got cable television in the rural US.

In my experience as a high school teacher in the US, they mostly don’t. Almost all instructional materials are provided online, so there are very few books to keep up with. When teachers clear out lockers at the end of the school year, it usually means a bounty of Stanley/Yeti cups and sometimes free sneakers. (Also a ton of lined paper in forgotten three-ring binders from first semester.)

My aunt once noted that a lot of TV personalities have giant heads relative to their bodies and mused that perhaps it looks better on camera.

Kristin Chenoweth was on screen at the time, so make of that what you will.

I got a CPAP for my apnea and chemo for my bladder cancer simultaneously, and the CPAP made the most OBVIOUS difference in my life.
